== Appearance ==
Kya wears her brunette hair up in an up-side down ponytail, clipped at the bottom and guided up a little bit, allowing gravity to pull the rest back down some.  
She was raised to wear skirts and blouses, so she prefers to wear a similar outfit when making an impression, but she vastly prefers wearing tight pants and a tunic whenever possible.  Does not care for accessories.

== Personality ==
Although she can be moody, and sometimes pretty stubborn, Kya is a sweet girl who won't refuse to help anyone.  Sometimes, though, she does get suspicious of new people/situations.


== Background ==

Kya's mother hails directly from the Northern Water Tribe, and her father is a second generation Water Bender who was working in Republic City when she moved down into it to get a better life for herself.  They met and got married, and due to their special skills, began a family clinic, utilizing both water bending and medicinal remedies for healing ailments.  Kya's mother was always ambitious, and was always trying to get better and better clientele so they could, at least, have the prestigious honor of serving famous families.

Eventually, Kya was born, and began showing her water bending talents at the early age of 2.  Once it was discovered, her parents taught her water-bending alongside other motor skills as she grew.  Though they focused primarily on the healing aspect, other basics of water manipulation and how to defend herself in a fight (and fight back) was taught to her as well.  As she grew older, she would even help out with her parents' practice, doing minor healing procedures as her parents would focus on more pressing injuries that required their utmost attention- it helped streamline the processes greatly and helped her with her healing practices and knowledge.

However, her mother also intended Kya to always make a good impression on all clients, just in case, so she always made sure Kya had good manners in front of clients and guests, and always wore ladylike clothing of skirts and blouses- even when handling bloody patients! 

When Kya was around 10, a new, wealthy family moved into the neighborhood.  The Shen family from Ba Sing Se.  Wanting to make a good impression on them, and hopefully to at least garner them as clients, Kya's mother introduced her to their son, Long, with the instruction to do whatever it took to make him like her so that their families may become- and remain- close.  At first, the two were wary of each other, but over time they grew relaxed and realized they had a lot more in common than they thought.

Her mother's plan worked, the duo became close, and so did the families.  Whether or not there was talk of a betrothal, Kya would never know, but two did experiment with romance for a brief while in their early teens.  However, things did not work out, and they remained friends... Except, since then, Kya's become increasingly protective of Long, always treating any new friends- especially female- with jealousy and mistrust.

When Long revealed to Kya that he was the next Avatar, her initial reaction was doubt, but she quickly warmed up to the idea, and pledged to him that he could count on her whenever he needed to.

Now that Long's on his way to PARADIGM to learn other ways to manipulate his bending abilities, Kya is joining him- protecting him, and possibly picking up on a few new skills of her own while in foreign lands.
