Nani is a caring person overall. He will protect people without hesitation though this can also cause him to be reckless. He's gotten into a number of scrapes where he was outnumbered and beaten badly after trying to help people. He can't stand it when children are looked down on and tries to include people in things if he can.
Nani is not really a shy person though he gets really nervous around girls and won't go talk to them if he can help it. Nani is a calm person except when he's angered in which case he is very irrational and will not listen to people unless they can appeal to one of his ways of reason. Naniis very intelligent though he doesn't show it for he doesn't care about it.
Nani is definitely one for action and is always looking for something to do to satisfy his impatient nature. Nani loves the thrill of competing and fighting even if he looses, he will be there the next day, week, or month depending on the beating he received in the ring.
Nani is not sure about this new avatar as he's never met her. He hopes that she can do something about this rising horror that is taking over some of his favorite parts of the city, quietly of course. Nani is willing to help her so long as she is like what the legends say of the avatar, kind, compassionate, and wanting to help people.
Hobbies:
Bending
Nani has been bending since he was a small child and practices nearly everyday just for the fun and freedom it gives him. Nani has trained with a master most of his life and has always enjoyed himself throughout the entire process of learning, traveling to learn more even.
Fighting
In his spare time when he's no camping or working with his father, Nani will go into town to compete in fights for the fun of it. He doesn't take the money, but gives it to his opponent for he doesn't need it and doesn't want it. Only once has he ever kept the money to buy a pet he let free the next day for he feared he wouldn't give it the proper care it needed.
Dancing
During the night Nani steals himself away and will go to clubs or parties to dance. He is usually invited to a bunch though he won't show up if he feels too tired. He enjoys dancing though he is a bit self conscious if he is even remotely sober.
Habits:
Horrible Punctuality
Nani is very bad about being on time. He's late for nearly everything he is needed for and can't help it. He's left early but is always caught up somehow and then he's nearly a half hour late. His servants have taken to telling him that something is at an earlier time to lessen the chance of him being late, yet he still is somehow.
Hair
Nani keeps his hair long for a few reasons though he hasn't ever shared them with someone. He continuously runs his hands through it though it's never tangled for whatever weird reason. When he's nervous, excited, happy, or sad, his hand is usually found running through his hair a few times before he's running it through yet again.
Getting into fights
Nani is really bad about getting into a fight that he can't win. He's always wanting to hop in and has found reasons that aren't even there just so he can say he had an excuse. Nani will fight with everyone and anyone he thinks deserves it or is willing.

History:
Nani was born and raised in the fire nation capital for most of his life. He has always had an easy life, getting whatever he wanted whenever he wanted it. The only issue was that he was never as accepted by his family as most children are. Similar to his ancestor Zuko, who assisted the Avatar to defeat another ancestor, Nani wasn't his fathers favorite even though he was the only child. Nani's cousin lived in the palace and was far better than Nani at any and all political things. Nani could keep up, but he was a lot more willing to give people second chances instead of acting immediately.
Nani's cousin was very abusive and with the assistance of friends, cornered Nani more than once. Nani would fight back, but would not use his bending against his family. This was how he recieved the scar on his shoulder as his cousin was gifted with bending, though he was no where near the level Nani was at and was reckless. Nani didn't tell his father for fear of his father would call him a liar and punish him.
Because of Nani's parentage, he was able to practice fire bending with a master who voluntarily worked at the palace, acting as a father figure for Nani as well. Nani trained and worked hard, traveling with his master to places of old to visit people or locations that could assist in Nani's training and education which the master was also responsible for.
When Nani turned thirteen, his mother died leaving him without a relative who cared. The master took care of him even though he too was becoming sick. Nani was devastated when his master was asked to leave after being unable to teach or help in the household. Nani was furious and refused to go near the palace for nearly half a year before he was forced to go back by a bedridden father. His father got better though his cousin didn't seem to like it.
Nani discovered that his cousin had been poisoning his father in hopes to kill the fire lord and claim the position because of Nani's lack of presence. When Nani's father heard of this, he was furious and demanded that his nephew be sent away to live in a small fire nation colony away from the palace. Nani's father allowed his son to be able to do as he pleased so long as he assisted with politics when things were stressful.
Nani was fifteen when he started his trips outside of the city by himself, his master having passed the year before though not without passing on some wisdom and a weird old lotus tile from some game. Nani was able to travel outside the city, camp, live, and enjoy himself for a week at a time, sometimes longer. He was declared missing once after loosing his way back, loosing privileges for a month before he was given them back after proving to his father he was capable.
