Characters[]

Characters Nima 248x300

Nima: A soul-searching youth on the cusp of adulthood. Raised at the Northern Air Temple under the tutelage of Elder Yongten, he is extremely well-read in his people's history, temple proverb, and sacred texts. Despite his advanced academics, he has a lot of trouble in the physical art of airbending and has failed the last few tiers of airbending maneuvers. He begins to form a one-sided rivalry with his classmate Tashi, known to many as having the makings of a master. Being held back with students much younger has caused him to develop a bit of an inferiority complex and resent the council elders.

He recently asked Jamyang, his girlfriend from the Eastern Temple, to become his spiritual partner. As such, he places great importance on earning his tattoos and being seen as a man worthy of her hand. The two plan on traveling the world together and embracing a more nomadic lifestyle after he finishes his training.

Characters Tashi 248x300

Tashi: An energetic, happy-go-lucky little boy who has transferred from the Eastern Air Temple to be trained under Council Member Aku. Descending from a long line of talented airbenders, Tashi is related to Council Elder Tashi of the Southern Temple, for whom he's named. Despite his prowess in the physical arts, Tashi lacks the discipline of being reserved and 'sitting still'. Underneath his confident persona is a scared little boy who struggles with being separated from his mother. He is very much like any other child despite his advanced classes and responsibilities. Despite his claims to fame at the Northern temple, he's actually quite lonely and misses the companionship of playmates that are closer in age.
