Description Hello, my name is Lien and I'm running away from the Fire Nation.

Name: Lien
Age: 16
Nation: Water Tribe
Likes: Dancing, nature, listening, cool weather, freedom
Dislikes: Small rooms, uneven ground, large cities, hot weather, confinement
Other: Lien is unable or not willing to speak. Whether her condition is physical or mental is unkown, but ever since she was captured Lien has not spoken a single word. Only her family would know if she is able to speak or not.
Lien is also a Water Bender. She discovered her talent while practicing dance near a jug of water. Knowing that she would be in danger if anyone knew, Lien hid her abilities and practiced in what little privacy she had. Now that she is no longer under the Fire Nation's rule Lien uses every chance she gets to practice and expand her knowledge of her bending potential. The movements she uses to bend are slightly different from regular Water Bending because she is self-taught and uses dance to call forth the water and shape it to her will.
Personality: Lien is a freedom loving, ambitious young woman who has a talent with the arts. She loves all things natural and enjoys the quiet of the outdoors. She's kind to those who treat her with what she conciders the right amount of respect, and though she won't directly confront those who she dislikes or have done something wrong to her, she finds clever and annoying ways to appose them and cause them trouble. Eager to learn and to put her knowledge to good use, Lien usually finds ways around any obsticals she comes across. When around those she trusts, Lien is open about her feelings and doesn't hesitate to let those around her know how she's feeling. In addition to being unafraid to show her own feelings, Lien is also very aware of others' emotions and can use this to her advantage. If she feels the need, though, Lien is able to keep even the slightest change in her mood hidden.
History: Lien was born in the Northern Water Tribe but one day, while on a trip with her family, she got seperated from her parents and was found by group of Fire Nation soldiers. Taken back to the Fire Nation, Lien was enrolled in a school for girls to be trained into artisans and performers. Lien took to dancing right away and excelled beyond everyone's expectations. After her graduation from the school, Lien spent some time in a Fire Nation city, performing in local gatherings. After a few years a division of the Fire Nation's army passed through on the way to the Earth Kingdom to launch an attack. The officers of the division noticed Lien and 'bought' her from her current caretakers. Finding life amongst the Fire Nation's soldiers distasteful, Lien made preparations to run away. After a few weeks of prepartion Lien was ready to make a break for it while in the Earth Kingdom. With her few posessions she decided to keep Lien escaped at night from the soldier's camp and has been on the run ever since. Lien is not sure where she is headed, besides away from the Fire Nation's armies, but so far she has been lucky and kept out of harm's way and she hopes that it stays that way.

Sorry for the super long description, but that's what I have and I had to get it all out or else I would have exploded.
Oh yeah, and your eyes do not deceive you, I DID do a backround that doesn't look bad. Well, at least I don't think it looks bad which is good enough for me.

^.^ Thank you! I am very tempted to do a series, I'll probably at least do one of her as a little girl.

Great! I look forward to it. But just think if you do one of her as a little girl...
well the guy who captured her will have to be done too, don't you think? Just so he can have a face to relate to as the bad guy. soooooooo you may have another there to do, just a thought. just a suggestion no offence ment mind you.
I love the story, and it's at a point now where you can do anything you want with it, and keep it running with each new sketch or picture you do. If you do a series on Lien, that is.
I'll be watching too see what you do with it.( By the way read the story to my little girl, (her name is Angel, she's 9) Thought you might enjoy knowing She loved it too, she wanted to know if Lien is in the woods lost and scared? She was full of questions about Lien. So there you are. A open minded view of your work.
See you have a good one there, we think
OH! my name is Rose and I'm very glad to meet you. Well keep the good work up.
I'll Catch you later,
Rose

^.^ Thanks again.
Actually, the Fire Soldiers that captured her are all pretty much the same, being just foot-soldiers. I might end up developing a few other characters though, possibly the leaders of the Fire Soldiers that "bought" her, some of her classmates and a potential love interest...dunno though.
I'm really glad Angel liked it! Actually, I kind of had this idea that the picture is someone else's point of view, so she's more confused/surprised to see someone else than scared (she could be lost for all I know, the Earth kingdom looks all the same to me XD). I hope that I can answer some of her questions with some of my future work involving Lien.

Thanks, Rose! My name's Adel and it was very nice having this...uh... comment conversation. (if that's what you call it)
