WHO'S TOUGHER THAN THIS B*TCH, WHO'S FREE-ER THAN ME

NAME: harlow annalise brassard

NICKNAME(S): harl, harls

AGE: 24

DOB / ZODIAC: may 15th, taurus

GENDER: cisgender female

SEXUALITY: bisexual heteroromantic

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: probably the most striking feature that harlow has are her eyes. they are large and a steely blue color framed by dark lashes and thicker eyebrows. she has fuller lips and high cheekbones, possessing many conventionally beautiful features. her hair is a lighter brown tone and reaches a little past her chest in loose natural waves. harlow stands at about 5'7" and has a slender and lithe yet athletic toned body that she has honed through years of kickboxing and other physical activities. her style can be described as casual as she usually opts for more basic and bare necessity outfits such as athletic attire or skinny jeans and a t-shirt.

PERSONALITY: harlow is, to put it simply, a very outspoken girl. she often times doesn't have many boundaries and strongly keeps to her opinions when they are formed. the young woman is incredibly stubborn and it is hard to change her mind when she has decided on something. despite this, she is very smart and usually her plans are well thought out. basically, she doesn't take shit. independence hardly covers her as she believes that she can take things on by herself without people's help (not always true) and is not afraid to question authority or those who have more sway over her. still, harlow loves humor and will happily joke around with anyone she likes. she lives a fairly carefree life and, even though she can be strategic, much prefers a method of 'let's see what'll happen when we do this'. it can be pretty reckless, though she prefers to think of it as brave and courageous. very much the type to pat herself on the back when something works out and claim innocence when something doesn't. also a very good liar, surprisingly, and a charismatic girl despite her more rash and sharp-tongued nature.

PHYSICAL, MENTAL DISABILITIES; n/a

raizu is very uptight, serious, and has an extremely short temper. his ongoing struggles and hardships serve to fuel this rage and make him more determined. raizu is persistent and will do almost anything to capture the avatar and regain his lost honor, which sometimes causes him to make reckless decisions. he only seeks to return things to normal and will not let anyone stand in his way. he can be fairly ruthless and stubborn at what he sets his mind to and allows his rage to fuel his bending, making it unpredictable and powerful. honestly, raizu needs a balancing force in his life that will calm him down as continuing at the rate he is going is not healthy. raizu hides his 'weaker' emotions, such as happiness, and feels as though he has to put up a wall in order to meet what peoples standards are of a prince since he has so many judging eyes on him. he is domineering and controlling, a result of his upbringing as fire nation royalty, and shows disdain when forced to work with people he believes are inferior; yet he adamantly refuses to view people as expendable and doesn't see the value in wasting strong men (and he has a bit of a soft spot). when pushed to limits, he will most likely choose to save his people rather than continue his quest at that time. even though he can be cold and uncaring, raizu is able to show mercy, even for his enemies, and is not as murderous as he is made out to seem. at times, the young prince also appears to be very confused. it is clear he is uncertain of himself and is torn between the pursuit for his lost honor and what he feels is right. while raizu tries often to be hard and uncaring in his quest, his loyalties to his men and allies still manage to show over his personal desires.

BENDER; yes, fire

--- has a lot of potential in his bending. not quite as skilled as he could be, though a force to be reckoned with nonetheless. receives instruction from many teachers, though his rage is the true driving force of his power at the moment, making it unpredictable and chaotic. lots of raw energy and talent, though raizu is often too stubborn to take it slow and learn. does not bend blue fire or create lightening, but will be able to redirect it and bend fire that could match anyone.

WEAKNESSES; his emotions take over sometimes, trusts too much in his family, temper temper, conflicted feelings, easily frustrated, his own mind

WEAPONS; his bending, dual dao blades, and his unarmed combat skills

HISTORY; raizu had only ever experienced life as royalty, exposed to certain privileges other people in the kingdom and the world had and never would experience. he was the crown prince with no siblings to compete with or concern himself with and, because he was the only child in the family, received lots of attention from both his mother and his father. raizu completely idolized his father growing up, constantly trying to make himself proud. however, as he grew older, his father promptly stopped paying as much attention to him and this caused a lot of confusion for the young child. as unrest began to increase in the kingdom, the fire lord became much more agitated and and short when addressing the prince. during this time, raizu became much closer to his mother and sought out her presence whenever feeling rejected by his hero. the two were thick as thieves and his mother began to resent the fire lord for his treatment of their son. there many arguments and their relationship quickly became strained, neither one of them ever talking to each other. raizu was still young at this time and couldn't really comprehend what was happening, especially as a young consort in the court caught the fire lords attention and the consort frequented more and more events. his parents relationship became irreparable at this point, raizu only realizing why and that his father was having an affair until recently, and there was an uproar between them. the prince had been listening in and spying on the argument from the door and saw his father slap his mother. she fought back, of course, and raizu quickly intervened (now more solidified as a teenager), and his father turned his rage on his son and hit him for the first time. he was very injured after this and was kept in his bedchambers for a week and a half while he gained his strength back.

during his recovery, raizu's mother went missing and no one knew really what had happened to her. many suspected she had fled the nation to escape the fire lord and his affair, but raizu will eventually discover she was murdered by his fathers men. she was disregarded as a traitor and the fire lord didn't speak much about her after. not much time passed before the fire lord wed his new wife, the consort that he had been having an affair with, and raizu spiraled. there was a lot of mental and sometimes physical abuse that occurred during this time, some from his father, some from his step mother, and some from even generals in his fathers army. she became pregnant soon as well, giving birth to a little boy which sent shockwaves through the palace and the fire lord expressed more affection for this baby than he had ever shown raizu. one day at dinner, in which the fire lord was not able to attend, the consort had been speaking illy of his mother and the prince could not take in anymore, standing up with fire blazing in his eyes as a bolt of flames hit the wall near his step mothers head. the fire lord was furious when he had heard about this and raizu was informed that he would be participating in agni kai for the disrespect against his new mother. raizu had assumed that he would be fighting against his stepmothers brother, a general in the army, but was instead met with his father at the other side of the court. before he could even react, the match had started, and the firelord sent a surge of fire towards raizu and, since the prince was not yet very skilled at his bending, received the full force of the blast. an allied water bender (though more likely captured) helped in raizu's healing process with her abilities, though she wasn't able to heal him completely and he was left with a burn scar across his left shoulder. the fire lord exiled his son to regain his honor by finding the avatar, though that part was more interpreted by raizu, in order to be able to return home and claim his place as crown prince. there has been talk of the new baby becoming the true crown prince due to raizu's disgrace, but he refuses to believe that his father would do that to him.

HISTORY; taru grew up in the city of ba sing se as an only child in an impoverished household. his father was an earth bender and taught taru basically everything he knows from a young age. they were happy despite their misfortune and his parents always put on a smile when faced with trouble. the family got by through his father offering his services as a bender and his mother selling jewelry that she made at the local market. taru quickly became a skilled bender and began to experiment with his techniques, beating all of his friends who were also benders in sparring matches and games. his father soon got a steady gig working in a mine nearby the city and their income became more stable, taking a great weight off of his parents. taru would sometimes accompany his father to the fines to help out if they were short staffed or needed some extra help. he liked having his own money to be able to go to the marketplace and feel the pride of being able to buy his own things. one day while in the market, he saw a beautiful girl about his age walking along the paths browsing his mothers jewelry. being a bit of a romantic, he approached her and the two struck up a great conversation and really clicked. he found out that her name was rita and she was the daughter of a wealthy noble in the city. he left the market a bit downtrodden as he wasn't in the social class to see her, but not before gifting her a beaded bracelet that his mother had made.

however, fate would have it that they would cross paths again and rita willingly called out to him. they began to spend more and more time together and developed a bit of a secretive relationship as her parents would never approve of them together. the continued like this for a year before things suddenly changed. one day while his father was working in the mines, there was an explosion and he ended up dying in the accident. this was later discovered to be an attack by the fire nation. things spiraled after that. taru's mother became sick with grief and, after a few months of nursing her back to health, she even ended up passing away. this devastated him and he still blames himself for not being able to save his father as he had chosen that day to spend with rita instead of going to work at the mines like he usually did. he was still young, only about thirteen at the time, and wound up in an orphanage in the city. there, he didn't receive the best treatment and often went to bed hungry or sore for punishments by the owner, but he kept a smile on his face just like his parents had when they were struggling. he was the type of kid to always make jokes to lighten the moods of the other kids in the orphanage. not many were adopted. ba sing se was already over crowded, and the orphanage that taru had ended up in was one of the less reputable so not many prospective parent and caregivers would frequent it. so, he lived for years in this orphanage, using his good nature and humor to deflect any negative emotions he felt. rita continued to see him, though her visits became less and less frequent when her parents started to catch on to what she was doing.

finally the day came when he aged out of the orphanage and, not long after, rita came knocking on the door of his shack like house, explaining that she had fled from her house and wanted to be with him. they ended up eloping and moving to a nearby village where they would be harder to find. they were incredibly happy together even though they didn't have much money, a lot like taru's parents had been when he was growing up. rita ended up pregnant and taru had never been more excited about anything. he would constantly talk about what their child would be like and how they would spend their days together. the village knew them as a happy family, a select few aware of rita's actual background, but left them in peace nonetheless. the day baho was born was the best day of taru's life. it amazed him that he had helped bring such a beautiful baby boy into the world. baho was a perfect mix of both of his parents. his hair was lighter like rita's, though he had hints taru's curls and his hazel eyes. the two were thick as thieves, never apart from one another.

tragedy struck for the second time in taru's like when baho was still a baby, only 5 months at the time. rita's family had finally put the effort into tracking them down and sent their men to bring her home. it was the middle of the night and they had heard noises from outside. taru told her to stay put and watch the baby while he went to go check on it. he was met with a large group of men armed to the teeth, drawing their weapons as soon as he showed his face. desperate to defend his new family, taru used his earth bending to fight them off, the display fairly violent and great show of power as he made short work of them. a scream from inside the house snapped taru's attention back to reality and he ran inside, heart beating loudly in his ears. there, he witnessed rita standing in front of baho's crib to defend him from the soldiers, a man before her. as taru grew closer, he saw blood and he went rigid, seeing the man before his wife had a sword and it had gone straight through her stomach. rage blurred his vision and all he remembers is seeing red as he ran forward and ripped the man away from his wife, taking him down to the ground and forming rocks around his fist as he began to punch, and punch, and punch until there are hardly anything left. the only noise to snap himself out of it was rita's gasping breaths and he held her close to his chest while she breathed her last, baho crying almost on cue as the life left her body. he had stayed there for hours, holding her tightly to him with tears streaming down his cheeks. this was a moment that he couldn't bring joy to cover his pain. it was only when the sun rose did taru move, taking the beaded bracelet he had given rita all those years ago, grabbing his son, and leaving the house for good. they would eventually come upon the sanctuary where he offered up his services in exchange for safe haven for his son and himself. taru is still scared that rita's family will continue to look for him and baho, though he swears on his life that he will destroy them if they ever attempted it again. baho is now almost two years old and taru has done his best to salvage his happy disposition.

BENDER; no

--- despite not being a bender, akara is more than capable of handling herself in a fight. she is an impressive hand-to-hand combatant, using a style reminiscent of aikido, holding her own against other skilled fighters, including benders. she is also very nimble, able to weave through obstacles, practice parkour or acrobatic techniques, and climb just about anything. she is adept at fighting with the traditional kyoshi war fans with a style similar to tessenjutsu, a technique avatar kyoshi utilized. akara is also skilled with a katana.

WEAKNESSES; naive, can be a little reckless, can't bend, rash, smaller in stature, a bit too outspoken

WEAPONS; dual metal war fans, a retractable round shield, a katana, and her body

HISTORY; akara was dropped off at the training house of the kyoshi warriors when she was just a baby. no one really knew where she had come from, but they really had no choice but to take her in. they found her on kyoshi day and took it as a sign that avatar kyoshi herself wanted akara to become a warrior. it was from this sign that akara idolizes the past avatar and has educated herself on the powerful benders life and fighting techniques. so, the group of strong women took to raising her together and, once she was old enough around age 7 or 8, she began her training. akara took to it pretty naturally, surpassing many of her peers and moving on to more advanced skill sets such as training in tessenjutsu earlier than others. life was pretty routine since she lived on the island, never really stepping foot on the mainland as there was no need to stray from home, training during the day and patrolling some during the night. things were pretty boring, and as akara grew up she became more and more restless, searching for adventure somewhere. she was often found scouring the forests for something to do and was always looking for some kind of stimulus, even if it meant fighting off a fire nation scout or two. still, she didn't stray very far and resigned herself to defending the island with the impending danger of the fire nation looming over everyones shoulders.

a few months after akara had completed her training, the fire nation attacked the island as they hadn't quite extended their reach to their shores. absolute chaos ensued and the kyoshi warriors quickly readied themselves for battle. akara hadn't even fought such a threat before, but she had found herself itching for the chance to taste action. she got what she had wanted, able to fight off numerous of fire benders as they tried to make their way inland. they had tremendously underestimated the skills of the female warriors and were forced to retreat due to the number of ambushes and flash attacks the kyoshi warriors employed to keep them at bay. the fire nation retreated, but their warship still lay off the coast and this only made akara angrier. she was determined to make them leave for good and concocted a plan to sabotage their ship in the middle of the night. so, a couple days after the initial attack while the moon was high in the sky, she stole away towards the ship and was able to quietly board it. everyone was fast asleep, sure that the small island wouldn't be mounting a surprise attack on the ship itself, so akara was able to stealthily move towards the engine room. her plan was to cause an explosion that would force them to retreat back towards the nearby mainland. however, as she was concocting this, one of her close friends had made her presence known and explained that she had followed akara to the ship in order to have her back.

everything went smoothly for the two kyoshi warriors when they ran into a small patrol on the ship. the patrol was able to raise the alarm before they could stop them and, even though they did their best, akara knew they couldn't win and the explosion would happen any second. right as the two girls were about to flee, however, a fire nation soldier managed to grab ahold of her friend and restrain her securely. akara knew they were running out of time, and her friend did too, so she urged her to escape while she could. the young woman had no choice but to act, escaping the ship just in time and jumping off the side as the explosion lit up the sky. when akara got back to shore, she explained what had happened to her leader who expressed great disappointment in her. having heard of the sanctuary and what it stood for and protected, the kyoshi warriors sent akara to join them as a guard to gain some discipline and distance herself from the island. (this is really poorly written hehe ill probably go back in to fix it later)

LIKES; forests, action, warm drinks, quality time with close friends, sparring, swimming, laughing, banter

DISLIKES; the fire nation, confined spaces, feeling trapped, things that are too sweet, spicy food (she doesn't mind it necessarily but has no tolerance)

serafina has tanned skin and long brown hair. framing her face, she has bangs, which are one of her more defining features. in the past, her hair has been different colors, though she has currently opted for a more natural look since returning back to hogwarts where she would represent her family name. her eyes are a hazel brown color and are defined by dark lashes and eyebrows. sera's lips are full and pouty and her cheekbones are high and defined. she has a toned and slim body since she used to be an avid swimmer, though now sims more for just a hobby due to her studies. while she normally wears her hair down, Josephine can also be spotted wearing it up or in a braid, her bangs creating a nice and stylish effect. when not in her uniform, her clothes are fairly trendy and she loves an oversized look though never wears dresses or skirts. if wearing something more revealing or skintight, she will opt for an oversized jacket.

— body modifications

n/a, though she plans on getting a tattoo as soon as she moves out of her parents house

— scars/deformities?

a few minor scars from quidditch and just life in general

— overview

literally the most unpredictable person you will ever meet. she is not afraid to get her hands dirty and is incredibly outspoken and opinionated. sera is not afraid to stick it to professors if she thinks that they're wrong. strong moral compass, though her actions can be described as morally gray at best. sarcasm is basically her middle name and she will roast you at the drop of a hat. still, one of the most genuine friends and allies you will ever find as she will never betray you or your trust. that, and she'll go after anyone who ever tries to mess with you. a disaster when it comes to anything romantic, she might just 'finger gun' her way out of the situation. actually very smart and proficient in her magic, thriving in her favorite classes. however, she gets bored easily and doesn't do well where things are quiet and the like. (this is so bad sorry but the headcanons are better!)

surprisingly tall for his stature and demeanor, rowan stands at about 5'11", though he is quite skinny and lanky. when he walks, he has a slight limp stemming from his left leg after an injury when he was younger. he has dark brown hair that always seems to be shaggy and disheveled and, though he is constantly squinting over a book, his eyes are a deep green color overshadowed by thick, dark eyebrows. it is rare to see rowan in a neat and orderly fashion and something always seems to be out of place with him. rowan's lips are on the thinner side and his nose is more defined, making him almost appear like the 'mascot' of his house.

— body modifications

n/a

— scars/deformities?

has a slight limp from an injury he had when he was younger on his left leg

— overview

a big cerebral type. he probably has ready every single book in the school and knows an excessive amount of obscure facts. he has a difficult time getting out of his own head and honestly has an ego too big for his body. rowan has a difficult time relating to people for an array of reasons, and so doesn't allow himself to get close to people or express himself in a genuine way. honestly is struggling a lot with who he is and what his life goals are. still, he can be pretty fiery and stubborn, especially when people choose to insult him as he always seems to have some kind of comeback lined up and at the ready. he has a tendency to be a bit cruel and doesn't really understand boundaries when someone disrespects him. rowan honestly just wants to relax but feels the constant need to distinguish himself among his peers and prove that he is as good, if not better, as anyone else.
