Name: Sakari
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Origin: Southern Water Tribe

Personality:
Sakari is a gentle and considerate sort of person who always sees the best in others.  She yields everyone the benefit of the doubt and a second chance, always working to make people and places she visits better than she found them.  As a traveler, she bears an adventurous spirit with a love for the new, the unknown, and the unusual.  Sakari abhors violence and prefers to use diplomacy or evasion to handle problems, or at least confront a threat with non-violent counters when there's no other choice but to fight.  She is the kind who would readily feed and care for a hated enemy, just because it's the right thing to do.

History:
Originally from the Southern Water Tribe, Sakari eventually left her home far near the poles in order to explore the world.  She saw the urbanization of her homeland bring new and unusual developments that sparked her curiosity, which urged her to pack up and hop aboard a ship heading to the mainland to see the source of such innovations herself.  She's been a vagrant ever since, happily wandering the world as she pleases and surviving off both the fat of the land and the kindness of others.  Sakari made it a habit to live in many different communities to learn all she could of their varied people before eventually moving on to the next new adventure.  Thus, her wanderings have brought her to Jianzhen where she hopes to live a while and gain new experiences.

Other information:
While she is formally trained as a Water Bending Healer, Sakari often supplants much of her medical efforts with poultices, herbal powders, and medicinal foods rather than rely strictly on her bending.  She is of the opinion that it's important to train the body to handle its ailments rather than using Bending as a crutch.  To that same measure, she's still learning Healing Techniques in constant study and is very interested in adapting other Bending styles' methods, such as Metal Bending Acupuncture and Fire Bending Energy Reading techniques.
