<div class="floatright">(http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc446/ffxivghost/Akari001.jpg) </div><br/>Name: Akari<br/>Location: Her hut outside of the Water Tribe<br/>Tagging: Shen<br/><hr/>Young Akari had some trouble believing that this Avatar couldn’t really Water Bend. But why was it so hard for her to believe? Perhaps because Water Bending came so easily to her, just as it had her father. She was a reluctant guest at the dinner, but she of course was polite the whole time. She and Chief Borok didn’t see eye to eye on many things… yet another reason her home was set outside of the tribe.. but she made sure to at least show him the proper respect during dinner. She respected the position of the Chief, not Borok himself.<br/><br/>Akari was rather enjoying the artic hen that had been served (she had to admit everything was way better than she had expected, or she had been used to), and that’s when the Water Bending masters presented themselves for Shiroe’s consideration. Of course she knew all of them, many of them she had grown up with, trained with. But she sits in quiet judgment of each of them as she eats her hen. She actually knows which the Avatar should pick.. but.. he pulls a doozy on her.<br/><br/>She almost chokes on a piece of meat when he announces that<em>she</em>would be his Water Bending teacher. She looks towards him with a piece of meat half hanging out of her mouth, her eyes wide. Yep, the sight of dignity. But she quickly collects herself as she trades glances with Chief Borok, finding herself rather embarrassed to be suddenly in such a position. The Chief offers up the very best amongst his Water Bending masters… and they are all rejected without so much as a second thought…<br/><br/>The evening passes, and Akari still can’t believe what had happened. She’s not even sure how she got to this point. And now, she finds herself alone with the Avatar outside of her hut.. her eyes cast towards the full moon, Yue, and she speaks as she stares up at it.    “Why me?”    She says quietly as she stands near the Avatar, her form bundled in dark and light blue fur lined garb. Her eyes now draw to Shiroe, her brows furrowed.  “All of those Water Bending masters would have done fine for you. They’re the best Water Benders in the world, most of them way more talented than me. So I ask again… why me?”<br/>
