Character: Katara
Series: Avatar: The Last Airbender
Character Age: 14
Canon: Take four nations each with the power of one of the four elements. Add one war. Place one mystic peace keeper of the entire world known as the Avatar into an iceberg, and set aside for one hundred years. Release the Avatar, add one colorful band of allies trying to help him save the world, one Fire Nation trying to stop them. Mix well. Add some cabbages for seasoning and you have Avatar: The Last Airbender.
One of Aang's aforementioned colorful allies is Katara who, during an argument with her brother Sokka, accidentally frees the Avatar. Most of the time, she is mature, logical and kind-hearted, with a maternal streak a mile wide and an unflinching loyalty to her friends and convictions. However, Katara also has a quick temper, severe difficulty accepting a viewpoint other than her own, and the inability to keep her opinions to herself no matter what the situation. When she's not kicking Fire Nation butt and trying to keep her friends in line, Katara somehow finds the time for such pursuits as getting topped by dashing young freedom fighters. Over the course of the series, she becomes a master waterbender and in turn teaches the art to Aang.
Sample Post:
From his trusty treebranch, the young gorilla's heart was stirred by the sight of a beautiful maiden intrepidly exploring the treacherous territory below! The amorous ape was overcome with desire, not to mention the frustration that comes with being unable to get...a date! Grasping a handy vine, he swooped down to gather the pure and innocent damsel in his arms! The maiden melted into the embrace of the manly monkey of her dreams and--just what is all this?! I could write better than this in grade school! N-Not that I did, but that's beside the point! Anyway, what you're writing is completely untrue! Except for the part where I get called an intrepid, beautiful maiden. I like that part. But that sexist attitude has got to go! Girls can swing out of trees and pick up boys, too!
And you! Have you ever considered that the reason you can't get a date is because no girl in her right mind wants to go out with a guy who jumps out of trees and tries to pick them up without asking first?! A girl likes getting swept off her feet, I'll admit, but there's a line between what's romantic and what's creepy and you just crossed it!
...Stop making that face. Look, just because you don't know how to make a good impression doesn't mean you can't learn! I'll tell you what. How about I bend you a bath and give you some pointers on what you should do when you want to ask someone out and then you find some nice ape-woman and let me get back to finding a way out of here, okay? Okay!
Personal hygiene is a must when you're trying to get a girl or anyone, really, to like you. I know this swamp water didn't make the most luxurious bath in the world, but it's better than nothing! Smelling like dead elbow-leech is an improvement over smelling like dead hog-monkey, I hope. The way to a girl's heart is not through having palms of sandpaper, and what have you been using to file your nails, anyway? On second thought, I don't want to know. It's not a hopeless case, though! I've got a great seaweed moisturizer that'll work wonders on your hands and this rock here will make a good nail file. Remember, you want to show her you're strong, but that you've got a sensitive side, too.
Add a few of these flowers--bright pink goes with everything, doesn't it?--And we're done! You actually look presentable, now go out there and find yourself an amorous ape of your very own!
Well, that wasn't so bad. I got the monkey off my back and now I can concentrate on what's important. Alright Katara, focus. Ignore the rabbit that's waving a paper around at you. Ignore the screams in the distance. Screams in the distance? Okay, okay, I'll read it! "Marcy felt as if she had been struck by Cupid's Arrow! Languidly stretching her tentacles above the waves, she wrapped them around her handsome prey. She would not rest until she had been artificially in-simian-ated by this gallant young gorilla!" I can't let that happen!
No one's getting in-simian-ated if I have anything to say about it!
