Bio: Yura was born into a time of violence. Growing up in The Slums, she knew how to deal with harsh situations. Her grandmother was Lin Bei Fong, chief of the Metalbending Force. That is, until the Metalbending Force was struck down and demolished by Neo-Equalists. As punishment by the Neo-Equalists, Lin and her nonbending son, Oto, were forced to live in The Slums. Here, their life started in poverty until they finally got back up on their feet. Oto found a wife named Fen who soon gave birth to Yura.
From the start, Yura was a hot-headed child with bravery in her heart. She gained the power of earthbending and was taught how to use it well by Lin. Of cource, in silence though. Yura soon realized that bending was against certain laws. Though this was hard to avoid, Yura was taught greatly by her grandmother, mastering the art of earthbending. Yura's parents soon noticed she could do other things as well; heating water for a small amount of time, or even running fast on her heels with the power of gliding that looked a lot like airbending. They tried to hide Yura as much as they could for her protection because the Neo-Equalists would soon be looking for the next Avatar.
Over the years, Lin passed away as the pressures of bending grew deeper and Yura grew older. Her will to survive in these wicked times was strong, but fear still lingered in her heart of being the Avatar. It came to Yura's attention that the Neo-Equalists were growing in numbers as benders were growing smaller. Rage in her heart took Yura to become confident in defeating them until her mother was killed. It was a grusome death, a Neo-Equalist raided their home as Fen was the only one their. She died because she knew their were rumours of the Avatar in The Slums. She was struck down as she refused to answer the questions of the Neo-Equalist. Yura took time to process this. Her mind was filled with thoughts as her father quickly began to grow apart from her, always mourning over her mother's death. Yura was filled with anger. She knew she would defeat them. Passion grew in her heart, but there was one thing standing in her way. The three other elements she had to learn.
Personality: Yura is very brave but curious. Her passion for many things is strong, making her protect the ones she loves. She intimidates her enemies by becoming a smart mouth, and impatient. Though stubborn, Yura won't let her "Avatar" title get in the way of treating others normally. Once threatened, Yura will forget others around her and strike into attack mode. This causes trouble, which she is found in many times. When it comes to bending, Yura is very serious and focused. Her mind is set on the physical side of bending, while her spiritual side is still hard to reach. If you know her well, she will open up to you. Otherwise, she can stay quiet but calm and collected. Sometimes she is very hard to read with the emotion on her face. Yura is very hot headed which triggers the protection of others. Yura knows that she will never turn her back on people who need her.
Spiritual Self: Yura has a hard time meditating and reaching other spirits. Her physical contact has always gotten in the way of what really matters. She will find herself lost in a world of hate, while she can't even reach her past lives. She has never reached Korra or Aang, or anyone else though she has had a few visions.
