However when she has a planned battle, which she knows about in advanced she wars traditional monk fighting attire. The Airbenders stray from heavy armor, relying on their agility and bending to evade strikes. The colors are traditional yellow and orange, with white leggings and armored boots. On her shoulder and forearms she has matching bracers. Her belt is engraved with the Air Nomads Seal. 1
She is best identified by her golden eyes and her Master Tattoos. Another factor can be her yellow checkered scarf, which she wraps around her head to hide her tattoos and eyes when she needs to. To hide her arms she will wear a black cloak-and-dagger cloak with shiny gold buttons running in two rows down the front. She loved the thick cuffs and it fit well on her lean petite body. To hide her hands she wear vintage, lace finger-less gloves with a yellow ribbon on each. Those who know her, know to look for these things in a crowd, her fireflies in the night., or her Catowl carrying messages.1,2.
Quirks :: Jojo is a free-spirit, and sometimes can be a little air-headed. She doesn't like thinking about things to much, unless they are very important, preferring to let things take their course. This can sometimes upset others, and make her seem lazy and irresponsible, when truly she just doesn't want to waste her time on things she can not change.
Another quirk of hers, and most Air Nomads is her strict vegetarianism. She loves traveling the world and tasting all the things the different continents had to offer.
Personality :: Jojo lives externally, using her five senses to assess things in literal and logical fashion. When she does internalize problems, she uses her feelings toward the situation and her own personal standards to shape her responses.
Jojo lives in the world of people possibilities and loves new people and new experiences. She lives in the here-and-now and relishes in the excitement and drama in her life. She is definitely a spontaneous, optimistic individual. Though she tends to be over-indulgent, and to place more importance on immediate sensation and gratification than on their duties and obligations. Often times she doesn't assess the long term consequences of her actions.
She is very practical, although she hates structure and routine. She likes to "go with the flow", trusting in her ability to improvise in any situation presented. She is a hands on learner.
She is known to quickly make strong bonds with people and animals.

Family :: Jojo's mother and father live on Air Temple Island. Her mother's name is Delphina and her father's name is Joerge. They go by the names Nina and Jo. They were not born with the ability to bend. As time passed, more and more children were born like this, causing the air bending bloodline to dwindle. Very few were aver born with the ability to bend, and Jojo was one of them.
Her father was born in the eastern Air Temple, her Mother in the West. They met while her father was delivering a message to the Council in her mother's Temple. Her grandfather on her mother's side was an Elder on the Council, A Bending Master. Her grandparents on her father's side are both dead, and Jojo has never met them. Her parents are waiting for her back on the island, having given her permission to travel the world on her 15th birthday, the day she became a Master.
History :: Since Jojo was a child she has been gifted, a prodigy in air bending. She began training at the age of 10.
It took her only two days to master the gates, which teaches instinct to avoid and evade conflict, as well as to follow the path with least resistance. She easily weaved through the gates, never touching them and mastering her ability to move quickly and flow like the wind.
Her next task in training was meditation, one aspect that was very difficult for her, but after a week she was able to clear her mind completely and maintain the flow of her chakra's. She finally understood she needed to allow her spirit to wander freely, like the air around her.
Her final task ,though it may seem humorous, was to beat Master Tenzin at a game of air ball, which took her weeks to accomplish.
At the age of 15 she earned her air bending tattoos, recognizing her as a master. To do this she had to master the 36 tiers of air bending including mastering gliding, and fighting with both staffs and fans. Though now she travels the world tasting all of the foods in the world, she is truly attempting the last great feat of a master. She is trying to create her own technique for air bending, allowing her to teach on the Island as one of the Final Four Airbenders. She has been traveling for 2 years now.
Her biggest achievement in life came to her shortly after she left. Jojo came across the new avatar while traveling through a water tribe village. He demonstrated his ability with ease, his natural talent was awe-inspiring. She approached the boy and his family, and broke the news to them that their son was in fact the shining light the whole world would look to one day. She became his master, and strives to pass on all the knowledge the Master Tenzin had passed to her. The boy was very very young, and had quite a bit of learning left before he would be able to take on anything.
Her companion, is actually 56 small little fireflies, which she uses as a light source. One day, when she was playing with her little bugs, she bent the air under them and could send them anywhere she wanted to. For example, she sent a group of them down a long dark corridor and lit her way. The come in handy when searching for things as well, and have a naturally ability to find fruit trees. She also has with her a Cat Owl, which she bought while traveling through the Fire Nation.
She now sits on the Council as one of the youngest Masters, though she chooses to travel the world as opposed to live on the Island. She does, however still receive messages from the Council, and often times they include a summons.
The veins on Jojoβs neck were pulsating beneath the scarf wrapped around her head. Shoving her hands in her pockets she tried desperately to ignore all the sounds and colors of the city. It was bustling, even at nightβ¦something she wasnβt used to quiet yet. Her shoes tapped lightly on the ground beneath her as she made her way through the crowd, though her own sounds were lost in the voice of the city.
Her golden eyes flicked from face to face, always cautious as to who was around her, some of the fire nation citizens still had issues with air benders. Lifting her hands to her face she pulled the scarf wrapped around her head forward to shadow her eyes, the little bows on her hands dangling delicately. She was the size of a little girl, her black coat hanging like a dress on her, but she had the power of a warrior. Hanging from her hip was a lantern covered in fabric, a slight glow coming through the linen. Her staff and glider hung across her back, and two holders holding her fans were strapped to the back of her thighs. Walking with her head low she dodged the citizens, careful not to reveal her identity, though most of them werenβt paying much attention to her.
Today Jojo was looking for a companion. Not one who walks and talks as she does, no, Jojo was seeking a flying companion, one to carry messages for her. Glancing up, she assessed the marketplace around her. The shops all had doors leading into them, and their merchandize was located indoors.
βAre the Air nomads the only ones with true customs anymore?
She thought a moment, then sighed deeply, exhaling a plume of air with a little more force than she wanted. With the monks she learned not to harbor rage and aim it at others. Though it was the fire nations fault her people were gone today, it was not these people before her. If she kept letting her fear and emotions get the better of her, she would be caught quickly.
Glancing around her heart sank, βIβll never find my way around this marketplaceβ¦
Just then however, a scent drifted to her. Pastaβ¦her favorite! The smell came from a corner cafΓ©, the Jasmine Dragon. Wandering in, she took in the quaint little cafΓ©. The seating was warm, and soft. The dΓ©cor, was of course red and orange plastered with the symbol of the fire nation everywhere, though the atmosphere seemed kinder.
Taking her seat she lifted the menu, βThese people sure do eat a lot of meat hereβ¦β she said as she scanned the menu, passing over the Komodo sausage and the Roast duck, she settled on a bowl of noodles with ocean kumquat and seaweed, and of course a cup of jasmine tea. A young man brought it to her, bowing as her served her.
It looked delicious, and hot steam furled up from the bowl as she moved her chopsticks around the soup. It exploded with salty ness and intense heat, a flavor combination Jojo enjoyed. The seaweed was fine, and divine as it danced around the chunks of the ocean vegetable. The city before her moved quickly, but she was held in the moment. Food was her passion, and this was one of the best little cafes she had ever been too. Sipping her tea as she pushed her empty bowl away, she looked around at the other shops.
The young man returned to her table, and silently reached for her bowl. As he turned away, Jojo reached out and grabbed his arm, stopping him.
βYou donβt know where I can find the Black Market do you?β she asked teasingly,βActually I am looking for a flying companion. You see, I have some messages to send, and no way to send them.β
The boy turned to her, and glared for a moment. She assumed he was deciding whether to trust her or not, so she tossed two gold coins on the table, and made them spin and dance with the air.
βHelp me and Iβll make it worth your while, she grinned, being careful never to lift her gaze to his. Seeing th gold, he turned and bowed to her, pointing down the road. He told her of a small store, wedged between two larger ones, which had blocked out its windows. Only those that knew about its existence knew it was open. People tended not to wander into the ominous shack. She thanked the boy with two more gold coins and hopped off the stool, pushing through the crowd until she found the building.
Faint animals calls could be heard as she pushed open the door, tapping the lantern on her hip. The fireflies began to glow. The door slid shut behind her as she began walked deeper down the dark path. As she reached the end of the long tunnel, a light could be seen through a ornate cloth hanging in a doorway. Gripping her staff, she parted the fabric.
She was greeted by a room full of animals, and more than just herself wandering around.
Releasing her weapon she approached some of the cages, seeing animals from all over the world in one place. It seemed a little shady, but the animals werenβt crying and they all had food and water in their cages. Shrugging she places her hand on a cage housing a Cat Owl. A cat owl is a bird that has the head of a cat, along with the wings and body of an owl. Itβs paw-like talons are covered in fur. Its torso is a soft gray, with creamy white wings, feet, tail, and paws. It was the creatures green eyes that drew Jojo near however.
Opening the cage she offered her arm to the bird, which climbed up onto her shoulder and purred as it rubbed Jojoβs face. Laughing she tossed the coins to the vender and pet the beast.
βYour name shall be Echo.
Smiling she walked out of the shop and onto the street again, quickly passing through the crowd. The Owl is what she came for, and now she was ready to leave. Quickly she flipped her staff over her body and flicked it open. As her scarf fell, some of the citizens noticed her tattoos, but she was high in the air before they could do anything.
Laughing she darting around the sky, leaving a trail of light behind her as the fireflies burned in the lantern. Her new companion flew with her, as they danced and twirled in the sky.
