Ty Lee

Ty Lee grew up with 6 identical sisters and hated being part of a matched set. She ran off and joined the circus where her phenomenal acrobatic ability earned her a living, but her life veered onto a different path when her childhood friend Azula wanted her help in hunting the Avatar. While she plagued the Avatar and his friends for a time, eventually Ty Lee betrayed Azula. She found a new path for herself as part of the Kyoshi Warriors, and learned to coincide her individuality with being part of a group. Ty lee’s acrobatic ability made her a capable fighter, but her ability to chi-block set her apart from her contemporaries. With a few quick jabs or nerve pinches Ty Lee could paralyze the limbs or even whole bodies of her opponents.
