Iiah
Iiah, pronounced eye-uh, is a female Shikoku Ken character designed and based around my human firebender OC from the Avatar the Last Airbender / Legend of Korra universe. Her design is slightly naval based, tying in with her human form profession of Naval Officer within the Fire Nation Navy. She grew up in an affluent noble family surrounded by military culture; her father served as an officer in the Fire Nation Army and her mother a Fire Nation Domestic Forces officer. As young as ten years old, Iiah started her naval career by boarding year round at a local military academy from which she then transferred to the Fire Nation's Naval Academy at 16.
She went on to be the first woman to service active duty within the Fire Nation's Armed Forces; note, the Armed Forces include the Navy, Army, and Air Force and do not include the Domestic Forces which are primarily made up of women. :)
In terms of personality, Iiah is an extremely well disciplined, devoted, and determined woman who unfortunately can be loyal to a fault. She holds honor and family very dear to her heart, always mindful not to do something to dishonor her family and bloodline. She is a Leo: prideful and sometimes vain, very confidant in her skills and not afraid to get into a scuffle if need be. Like the sailor she is, Iiah is prone to drinking, smoking, and foul language, all three which go against her noble upbringing. She suffers from PTSD, particularly parasomnias like nightmares, night terrors, and insomnia. All in all, she fits into the category of "strong woman that ACTS like she doesn't need a man, but is actually very lonely and longs for a stable relationship."
