Character Profile: Mei Li

Name: Mei Li
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Nationality: Water Tribe/Fire Nation

Weapon:  None

Origin: Northern Water Tribe
Personality: Typical of a waterbender, Mei Li is compassionate, caring and even-tempered. She believes very strongly in protecting and helping others to the best of her ability. While this leads her to make friends often and quickly, it also leads to her being a people-pleaser more often than not, out of fear of upsetting others. She puts her feelings second to everyone else's, unless faced with impulse driven decisions that might ultimately bring harm to those she cares about.
Background: A little over a century after the war hundred year war, Mei Li was born in the Northern Water Tribe to a mixed couple: her father a northern waterbender and her mother of Fire Nation descent. She and her brother Akio were very close, only a couple years apart, until an accident sent him and their mother away from the Northern Water Tribe when she was only four years old. For years, she troubled her father about when they would return and begged to go to the Fire Nation and see them, but as the plague struck, it became harder and harder for them to travel and she eventually gave up.

Mei Li was one of increasingly few people to have contracted the plague early on and survived. Having gone through the pain herself, her determination only increased to improve her bending and join the healers of the Northern tribe as quickly as possible. Since the cure arrived in the north, Mei Li's time spent on her personal life has only decreased even more. Her father has been, however, determined to see his daughter married to a respectable man, so without her knowledge, he arranged a marriage for her to one of her closest friends. This hasn't sat well with her since she found out, but up until the present, she's found herself at a loss for what to do.
Appearance: Mei Li and her brother both inherited a very mixed bag of traits from their parents. Mei Li has her father's dark brown hair and bright blue eyes, but with the fair complexion of a Fire Nation native. She's small boned and petite like her mother's people and she also inherited her mother's delicate featured face.
