#but i do it anyways bc u get so much stuff easily from villager trades lmaoooooooo......

[dykejet]

Could you tell us about your oc? I'm very interested (:

omg!!!! Of course!!! Thank u for giving me an opportunity to gush abt her >:)🥺 (this is her 4 all who haven’t seen btw) I went on a ramble so it’s under the cut !

I have no 100% name for her rn, but I’m leaning towards Hana :) to my understanding(feel free to correct me if wrong), it means “flower” in Japanese, & as Kyoshi Island is 1 of the lands w more of an influence from Japan I felt it fits. As for her character, again there’s not actually much !! I eventually do wanna write for her, surrounding her experience as a Kyoshi Warrior & the relationships in her life :) I do have these tho:

Her “story” starts at 16-17. She’s a bit of a “ditz.” Outside of her role as a Kyoshi Warrior, she forgets things easily & her coordination w things like chores (no majorly sad parent backstory here lol, her parents are lesbian trade merchants/local florists) everyday matters etc leave sumn to be desired.

As a Kyoshi Warrior, on the other hand... very proficient:) She started training young(8) & rly fell into its meaning & duties. She’s a bit “nerdy” w it, it’s hard to get her attention when she’s sparring/sword-fan training/helping village disputes etc. Basically this is just a long way of me saying she’s nd & bein a Kyoshi Warrior is her sp.in ^__^

She’s better w the katana than she is the fans. When it comes to practicing /learning how to use their round shields, she’s also one newer members like to go to.

Her role during the war isn’t a Major one(for lack of better phrasing in my head). She’s one of the few Kyoshi Warriors who stay at Kyoshi Island while others went to help in the refugee transport hideout(I forgot the name vv;). She’s on constant surveillance by the land’s edges for any more Fire Nation invading, this being rly the first time for her the war’s felt “real.” That fact both brings a bit of shame & pride alike in her. Still, there’s little she wouldn’t risk for the home she’s known and loved all her life.

This is kinda where her gf/new relationship subplot comes in. I suppose her gf is an eventual oc as well ? Anyways, this is currently the point where Northern waterbenders are traveling to the South to give aid. They decide to take a “”pitstop”” at Kyoshi Island, bc pre-isolation they still remember how both tribes went to there/Yokoya for trade. Cue a girl waterbender who stows aboard one of the Northern ships to escape stifling parents who were soon to set a marriage for her up in the NWT. Said girl (no name) yet gets caught, but late enough they can’t bring her back(& reformed king pakku is like good for her !). She’s one of the NWTers that decide to step foot on Kyoshi Island and see how it is now, see if alliances can be made.

Unnamed OC goes bonkers seeing a literal group of girl-only warriors. Hana sees Unnamed OC and goes bonkers bc . Pretty Girl. Cue lesbian disastery between the both of them(no homophobia here tho bc lameee).

Anyways yea. From during to post-war, there’s a lotta flirting between em, in-person & letters between Kyoshi Island/SWT alike.

Back to just Hana :]. Anyways like I said. No “major”” war impact comes from her. A lot of her conflict and development comes from her friendships/love life/“outsider” opinion on the war/etc.... This is basically a slightly more angsty slice of life in the atla-verse hehe.

Not necessarily story-specific, but she IDOLIZES Rangi. Essentially as Suki does for Kyoshi(or at least in my hcs Suki does). Whenever she’s in an issue, she thinks “What would Rangi do?” If u wanna hear someone go on an hours long tangent about the life-changing(according to her) love story that is Kyoshi and Rangi’s story, u go to Hana. I’m half-tempted to make her Suki’s ex for fun lmao Also outside of Kyoshi weaponry she loves knives, it’s not rare 2 catch her twirling 1 around or w/e. This started Young so it’s also not rare to see a parent of her’s worrying she’s gonna stab herself/someone on accident :p

To summarize: my darling oc Hana is a chaotic lesbian who loves swords & loves her gf(hence the dyed lighter loopies & blue clothes) :) this is only the Surface of her character <3 also any1 feel free to ask further stuff abt her!!
