She does have several burns along her body from when she was training herself to become a close to perfect firebender.

But, the most asked about ones, being the ones on her face and spinal cord. And when asked how she got them, she's not one to be honest. She'll tell you that it happened in a training accident, when really they were caused by her sister during their Agni Kai when she couldn't bring herself to burn her own sister. Too bad her sister had no problem burning her. She doesn't have any piercings, being against the idea and thinking of earrings as useless and idiotic. She does have one tattoo on her right should blade of the phrase, "Never forget" to remind her to never forget what how cruel people can be.

{“It’s time for you to look inward and start asking yourself the big question: who are you, and what do YOU want?”— Uncle Iroh }
(Has mastered Firebending)
{Blocking fire}: A skilled firebender can defuse and extinguish an oncoming fire blast from another firebender by using a swift kick, jab, or any other defensive maneuver, allowing them to stop attacks.
{Fire blade}: As a more advanced version of a blazing arc, firebenders can create thin blades of fire by narrowing their flame projections, which can subsequently be launched at opponents.
{Blazing rings and arcs}: Spinning kicks or sweeping arm movements create rings and arcs to slice larger, more widely spaced, or evasive targets.
{Fire bomb}: Considered a short range attack, a firebender can create a flame at the end of a limb and thrust the flame down in an explosive burst.
{Flame redirection}: In a similar fashion to waterbending, firebenders are capable of changing the course of an incoming fire blast and redirecting it back at the attacker using fluid motion. This move exemplifies the use of firebending as an extension of the body and is used infrequently in modern combat in favor of more offensive maneuvers.
{Fire daggers}: Blowtorch-like jets which are created from the fist or fingertips to use as close range sword-like attacks. However, they lack the ability to actually block physical objects.
{Fire streams}: Another basic firebending ability, firebenders can shoot continuous streams of fire from their fingertips, fists, palms, or legs. These streams can be widened to create flame-thrower like techniques.
{Fire whip}: An extension of a fire stream, this continuous stream of flame can be utilized as a whip.
{Fire lashes}: An even further extension of the fire whip/stream, firebenders can create a long lash of fire and bring them down on their enemies, or create smaller, multiple lashes and envelop an area with fire.
{Fireballs or "Fire-jabs"}: A basic ability, jabs and punches produce miniature fireballs and missiles of flame. These can be charged up (refer to charged attacks) to create larger, slower bursts, or swiftly and repetitively fired to keep opponents off balance.
{Shield of fire}: This creates a protective fire shield around the front of, or the whole body of, a firebender that can deflect attacks and explosions.
Firebending Master Level
{Intertwined fire stream}: An advanced move based on the basic fire stream. The performer directs two powerful fire streams at their opponent, though by intertwining the two streams, a massive comet shaped fire stream is formed that has more power than the single stream.
{Fire comet}: An advanced form of the fire stream in which the user pressurizes the fire into a ball and shoots it toward the enemy.
{Charged attacks}: Firebenders have been shown charging their attacks before releasing them, allowing them to create enormous blasts of fire.
{Fire augmentation}: Firebenders can also control the size and intensity of any nearby flames and can draw them in to manipulate them at will.
{Fire missiles}: A more advanced form of the fire stream, powerful firebenders can shoot long streams of fire that follow the target as they move.
{Jet propulsion}: Skilled firebending masters are able to conjure huge amounts of flame to propel themselves at high speeds on the ground or through the air; however, it has only ever been for short periods of time due to the short lasting strength of firebenders.
{Wall of flames}: One of firebending's few defensive techniques, either a situated explosion or controlled inferno, this wall of concentrated flames acts as a barrier to incoming attacks. It may be a more powerful version of a fire shield. It not only protects against attacks, but when used right, can be used to stealthily escape from foes.
{Breath of fire}: The breath of fire involves the user firebending out of his or her mouth, mixing air from the lungs with the flame, creating a wider, hotter blast.
{Energy reading}: In a similar way to healing, firebenders are capable of using fire to sense chi paths and interpret spiritual energy.
Avatar Level Firebending
(For now, can only do when in the Avatar State)
{Long-range multiple fire whips}: An Avatar-level firebender can produce fire whips, the most being five at once. They are capable of reaching across long distances.

{“Fire is the element of power. The people of the Fire Nation have desire and will, and the energy and drive to achieve what they want. Earth is the element of substance. The people of the Earth Kingdom are diverse and strong. They are persistent and enduring. Air is the element of freedom. The Air Nomads detached themselves from worldly concerns, and they found peace and freedom. Water is the element of change. The people of the Water Tribes are capable of adapting to many things. They have a sense of community and love that holds them together through anything.It is important to draw wisdom from different places. If you take it from only one place it become rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, the other nations, will help you become whole. It is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the Avatar so powerful. But it can make you more powerful too.”— Uncle Iroh }
Known Airbending
(Close to mastering the basics, only if she could bring herself to 'open up')
{Air ball}: An airbender can create a compressed ball of air by moving their hands together in a circular motion. This technique has many applications such as levitating small objects or trapping opponents.
{Air blast}: A more offensive maneuver involving a direct pulse or jet of strong wind from the hands, feet, or mouth. The force of the attack is generated more from the bender's own power, rather than assisted by momentum.
{Air swipe}: The air swipe is both a defensive and offensive technique in which an airbender conjures a crescent-shaped structure of compressed air capable of deflecting colossal projectiles.
{Air punch/kick}: Another more offensive move than is typical of airbending discipline, air punches or air kicks are small, compressed formations of air that can be fired off the fists or feet of an airbender.
{Air shield}: The most common defensive tactic, though less powerful than the air barrier, it involves circling enemies, suddenly changing direction when attacked and evading by physical movement rather than bending.
Enhanced agility: Air movements can also be used as a levitation aid.
{Suction}: A technique used to bring people or objects toward the airbender.
Airbending master level
(Hasn't even learned about these just yet... Just the names)
{Air blades}: A more offensive move than its typical of airbending principle, this involves a focus; slicing air current that can cut through stone or timber with relative ease.
{Air cocoon}: A master airbender can rotate while jumping to wrap themselves in a cocoon of wind.
{Air propulsion}: A skilled airbender can propel themselves forward at great speed by negating the effect of wind resistance.
{Levitation}: An airbender can achieve this same feat by generating and controlling air currents to form a 'cloud' like board under their feet and surfing through the air, thereby emulating flight.
Avatar Level Airbending
(For now, can only do withing the Avatar State)
{Air sphere}: The Avatar flies at high-speeds while inside the air sphere, which also acts as a barrier to protect the bender during impacts, strong enough to withstand a high velocity impact with rock.
{Strong wind}: It is possible for the Avatar to unleash extremely powerful winds.
{Tornadoes/hurricanes}: In addition to large and powerful air movements, an Avatar level airbender can create massive tornadoes and hurricanes at will.
Known Waterbending

{“Sometimes shadows of the past can be felt by the present”—Air Nomad Saying }
"The Avatar State is a defense mechanism, designed to empower you with the skills and knowledge of all the past Avatars. The glow is the combination of all your past lives, focusing their energy through your body. In the Avatar State, you are at your most powerful, but you are also at your most vulnerable. If you are killed in the Avatar State, the reincarnation cycle will be broken and the Avatar will cease to exist."
―Roku
The strongest and most powerful ability that the Avatar can invoke is the Avatar State. It was created when Wan permanently bonded with Raava by touching the energy coming through the spirit portal during the Harmonic Convergence in 9,829 BG. It allows the Avatar to channel vast cosmic energies and the knowledge of previous Avatars, granting them superhuman strength and allowing for the ability to perform especially powerful and extraordinary feats of bending. The Avatar may unconsciously enter the State in response to perception of mortal danger, utilizing the State as a defense mechanism, or emotional distress. While in the State, the Avatar has access to bending techniques that may have not yet been learned in their current lifetime, but has no conscious control over the resulting actions, which can cause great collateral damage. An Avatar with full mastery of the Avatar State has conscious control over the State and can enter and exit it at will, but it takes a great physical toll on his body after being in the Avatar State for such an extended period of time.
While in the Avatar State, the Avatar's eyes glow, as do any markings following chi paths along the body, such as Air Nomad tattoos; however, if the body has received an injury deeper than the tattoos, that specific area will not glow in the State. The white glow is the result of Raava's spirit in the Avatar, resulting in the combination of all the Avatar's past lives focusing their energy through a single body. It is possible for an Avatar to control the Avatar State. More often, the Avatar State is activated by danger or emotional turmoil. It is possible for an Avatar to channel a specific previous incarnation while in the Avatar State. When this happens, the Avatar briefly takes on the appearance and voice of that previous incarnation. There seems to be two distinct ways to how the Avatar State works:
Reflexively
When the State activates without the Avatar calling on it, the Avatar's eyes, and tattoos in the case of an Air Nomad Avatar, glow white constantly, and Raava's spirit allows for active channeling of the energy, skills, and knowledge of past Avatars through the body of the current Avatar, heavily augmenting the current incarnation's bending abilities. The State works this way almost exclusively when it is triggered as an instinctive, unconscious reaction, a 'defense mechanism' for when an Avatar's physical capabilities would be insufficient to confront the current threat, or in situations of extreme emotion, specifically rage and sorrow. So it may be more accurate to describe the State being used this way as 'reflexively' rather than 'continuously'. When the State is triggered this way, the current Avatar has little to no control over the performed actions and may retain little to no memory of what happened, though this is not always the case.
Masterfully
(Has not mastered yet. Plans to met with the Guru soon.)
When the State is used intentionally, the Avatar's eyes, and tattoos in the case of an Air Nomad Avatar, glow momentarily, and during that time the current Avatar stores the knowledge and energy needed so that it can be released once exiting the State, taking only the power needed for a specific task. This reduces the danger of being killed in the Avatar State and enables a more willful, controlled use of the Avatar State's power. This can only be done by an Avatar who has mastered the State as it is a conscious use rather than an instinctual response. Mastery of this technique is part of what distinguishes an Avatar as "fully realized".
{Weakness}
While the Avatar is all but invincible in the Avatar State, having access to the bending experiences of all the past lives, there is one grave weakness: while in effect, the Avatar Spirit can be harmed. If the Avatar were to be killed while in the Avatar State, the cycle would break and the Avatar would cease to exist.Another downside to the Avatar State is the considerable mental strain it can cause to less experienced Avatars. When she used it three times, after all three of them she felt like a monster. Furthermore, use of the State, at least in extraordinary circumstances, can place such a large physical strain on an Avatar's body such that their life span can be affected.

Happiest Moment|
"It was the moment I finally left, I loved Wei and I loved my country but the moment I left, I felt free. I felt that for once, I made a choice for myself. I was terrified, of course and I was crying for hours while in the sky. But, after the first night, I realized that I was doing what I was suppose to do. I hid for a long time from the world and because of it, the Tsumi Ribasu has been able to take over the Air Temples. And while I hid from my destiny, I felt like I was in this box that once I married Wei I would be seen as nothing more than the queen and a wife, but I needed to be seen not as a queen or wife but, as a warrior and the Avatar. I needed to be seen as the person I was... even if that meant leaving what I knew and loved behind."

"It was the moment my sister burned me, that was the day my family fell apart for good. She had hurt me and almost killed me out of jealousy. She would have if my father wouldn't have rushed in front of me to take the lightning... After that, I blacked out. From what my brother told me, my eyes glowed and I was floating in thin air... Bending fire in ways they have never seen. It was the first time I went into the Avatar State, I was just so angry and, and-- Before I knew it, my father was telling me to stop. That he was okay and I needed to stop before I did anything I would regret. I blacked out and when I woke up, my brother told me everything, how extraordinary and terrifying it was to witness. To see that much rage and power in someone. I don't know what I did and how I did it, but I do know that I need to learn to control it before I hurt anyone else.

|History|
Natsumi's life isn't as it appears. When she was born, she was born as the next Avatar in the cycle after the Avatar before her died of mysterious circumstances. From the day she was born, she was different than anyone else in the world. Not that she was told that, anyway. Growing up, she grew up as a rather high class fire nation citizen with her father being an admiral for the Fire Nation and very close friends with Firelord Guo since their early childhood days. And, while she was sheltered, she had many friends but, she found her closest friends in the daughter and son of the Firelord, Culian and Wei. While growing up, she was closer to the former. She was also close to Wei but, for different reasons. Growing up at least on Natsumi's side, she loved to challenge him in anything and that love of challenging him and most likely beating him (If you asked her) only got bigger when they both discovered that they could firebend, something she found out at the age of eight. But, it wasn't just because she wanted to beat him, but she also wanted the both to grow together as people and as firebenders. At the young age of eleven, there was a knock at their door in the early hours of the day. Natsumi didn't know this at first but, this was the day that would change her life forever. Her father answered the door and her mother woke her up. And what she saw when she walked out of her room was the Fire Sages bowing down with her followed shortly by her parents. When she asked why they were all bowing, the high sage got up and told her that she was the Avatar. This lead to an argument by her parents, asking the sages why they told her at the young age of 11 instead of waiting until her 16th birthday like they were suppose to. They replied how they and others sensed a great evil coming and it was her duty to stop it before it begun. Sumi was terrified, in ten short minutes she went from being a carefree, talented firebending girl to being the Avatar, someone who had to keep the whole world in balance and to keep it safe from whatever evil they saw coming. She had no idea when this evil was coming and had no idea how to even start learning the other elements.
Her parents, ordered her to keep it quiet. To not tell a soul, that once she told people her life would never be like it was. She would never be able to live a normal life, she would have to go from place to place to learn the three other elements. Have to go through years and years of training and discipline just to have to protect the world until they next Avatar. If she wasn't scared enough, this was the final blow. She never wanted to tell anyone. She wanted things to stay as they were, forever if possible. As the years went by, she read more and more on the Avatars before her. Finding a close relationship to Aang, an air monk who stopped the Fire Nation and Firelord Oazi from destroying everything. He too, was told before he was ready and ran away because he wasn't ready. They only were able to talk twice and both times, it was an accident but, whenever they did, it got her one step closer to wanting to protect the world. Only to back a few steps when she saw how much she loved her life; her parents, her school, and more importantly Wei. Over the years they had gotten closer and closer to one another. And by the age of fifteen {15} they were together, she was the strength and support he needed, Whenever he felt an ounce of doubt, she would be there for him and tell him that even if he didn't believe he could be Firelord, she would be there for him and fix any messes he made. It was made cleat to the both of them that for many years now, their two fathers have arranged for them to marry.
And while she loved him... A lot, she hated the idea of being told who she was going to marry and when she was going to do it. She was never one to be okay with taking orders about her person life and this was the one thing, she couldn't do for her family. And, she wasn't going to go through with it, she had planned on leaving for awhile in order to figure everything out. To grow up and travel. And to learn how to be the Avatar. {Age 16} That is until something happened. Her older sister, Mai had told people that she was the Avatar and that she was going to take away Wei from Sumi. Being only sixteen years old, Sumi was thinking when she challenged her sister in an Agni Kai. They fought and it went on for hours, neither one wanting to give in. Her father begged both of them to stop but, after 5 hours of firing back at each other. Sumi finally had her beat but when she was standing above her, about to burn her... She couldn't do it. She just backed away saying she couldn't. "A sister, burning a sister wasn't right esp. over lies and a boy." Her sister was never one to love Sumi so when Sumi was about to turn, Mai let off a huge fire blast to left marks all across her back and even the left side of her face. And when she was down on the ground, crying. She could hear the crackle of lightning about to strike, she saw the flicker and right when she thought it was going to finish her off. She heard her father start screaming in pain, Mai screamed, her mother was shouting while taking Hoshi, their youngest child inside. Sumi moved to her side to her father shaking. Right when Mai was about to come near the two of them, Sumi blacked out. From what her brother told her, she had somehow went into the Avatar State. Hearing about it and how she burned her sister and almost killed her, terrified her to hear and before he could finish telling the rest of what had happened, she had made him leave her room. She couldn't hear anymore. Within a few hours, Natsumi was waiting at her father's bedroom door with bandages all over her body and face, hoping to see him and see why he did what he did. He was a man of great honor, and what she did while brave, could have been seen as a disgrace to some.
After waiting there, all night she finally found out who was taking so long. Firelord Guo, only the two men know what on Earth they were talking about for so long but, Sumi didn't care all she cared about was seeing her father and saying sorry for being such a coward and embarrassing him. Before she even had the chance to finish, her father had her in a hug saying that what she did gave her great honor. That he was proud of her for showing restraint and not hurting her own flesh and blood. She had more honor than Mai ever would. And when asked why he did it, He said "You are meant for great things, Natsumi. You have an amazing destiny ahead of you and I couldn't let that come to an end. Even if it meant ending mine like this..." After all the years of making her be afraid of being the avatar, here he was saying how amazing she would be one day. And with this, she was able to put together that he knew forever, from the day she was born he knew about her destiny and just wanted to keep her safe for as long as he could. And, while it seems bizarre that he didn't want her to leave, it also made sense to her. After what had happened to Avatar Asama, he didn't want to lose his own daughter. Two days later her father died, her sister was sent away, and her brother left to go back fighting in the military. One day, after venting with Wei and just crying for once, she went home to find the house close to empty; photos, food, supplies, all gone. With a small letter saying only one word on it from her mother, 'Sorry'. At this time, she realized that she was now alone and even if she wanted to leave in order to avoid getting married to Wei. He and his father and sister, was all she had left and she couldn't lose them.
She did start acting cold to him around this time, thinking he didn't love her like he used to because she no longer saw herself as the 'perfect queen' like the ones before her, they were always quiet, kind and beautiful and from birth Sumi wasn't quiet and kind, but she was seen as attractive. And with her scars, she felt like he didn't want her anymore. Around the age of 18 (closer to age 19), she finally told him about her being the Avatar. She never said she when she was leaving but, she couldn't keep it a secret anymore. She needed to tell him. And after that, when they were alone in their room they would talk about it... a lot, more than anything else and sometimes when Sumi would think about leaving they would start arguing with one another. And it always, ended with Sumi accusing him of just being jealous that it was her and not him who was chosen to be the Avatar, before her storming off to go on a walk to calm herself down.
And on one of these walks at the age of nineteen {19}, she finally realized that it was time for her to go. She had started hearing stories about this secret society that was starting to take over cites in the Earth Kingdom, how they were small but powerful and she knew this was the evil she was going to have to face. And as much as it killed her to talk to Wei about it, she had to told him about what she had to do and how she had hid from the world long enough. For nineteen years, she let this evil come close to power and because of it, the Water tribes have surrendered with the Earth Kingdom not far behind. She told him every night she loved him and would kiss him like it would be the last time, because even she didn't know when she would feel ready to leave. But, one day she just got out of their bed and left. She thought in order for both of them to gain closure from the love they shared and do what was best for not just them, but their destinies, she had to leave without letting anyone know. She left him a letter stating that once it was all said and done and she feels like the world is back in balance, "she promises to return to him but, until then she wants him to continue being the amazing guy she knows he is. And that no matter what is said, he will be an outstanding firelord." But, of course just to irritate him and show that she was much more clever, she hid it in only a place he would know and remember if he actually remembered to think on his feet like she had told him for years now.
Once leaving the Fire Nation, she found someone trying to sell their flying bison. She gave the merchant all of her gold pieces, in exchange seeing that this was the only way she would be able to reach all the places she needed to go. Her first stop was the Air temples to look for a master, but unlike before she couldn't learn there. {Age 20} The Tsumi Ribasu was trained in tracking and if they found out that the Avatar was alive, they would come after her without a second thought. To her surprise, she was too late. Everything was deserted, which only made it clearer how late she was to start her training. It made her ashamed with seeing this temple destroyed and it was her fault for not starting sooner. She left and found herself in the woods camping out when she could hear people going through the trees. Call her defensive and ill-tempered but, the only way she caught one, was by getting angry and burning down the branch the airbender was on. He lead her to the rest of her people where she explained that she was the Avatar and she needed a teacher to help her learn airbending in order to stop the people that killed so many of their own. A young girl, not too much older than her volunteered named Weifeng. A rather, irritating girl who is always saying that she can't master the element of freedom, if she doesn't open up. Something she refuses to do with someone she just met. But, with her master decided the two set off to find her waterbending teacher, _________ (More to be added later). They then found her earthbending teacher, Jing Kwan. A stubborn, ill-temper, cocky, pain in her butt earthbender. And, while she is not starting earthbending for a while, she can already tell that this teacher might get on her last nerve. And before stopping at an already destroyed, Southern air temple. They found themselves on the island of Kyoshi rescuing one of the last warriors. She knew taking another passenger was risky but, Kyoshi was a past life and she felt it was her duty to save the one thing that has been around for centuries.
With her team chosen and their hideout for the time being found, its time for the Avatar to start down the long road that is her destiny. After seeing what all these people gone through, she knows now that it's her fault for abandoning the world, letting it go out of balance as much as it has. And even though she knows she can't bring back their loved ones, she does know that she can and will stop the Tsumi Ribasu before they throw the world out of balance anymore. But, she has a long way to go if she wants to save anything. She knows that she left for awhile but, she's here now and now is full aware that even if she hates her destiny, it is set for her and has to follow it. {Age 21}
