Inia
Overview
Inia has been around for many years, more than anyone she knows. She is not sure what has granted her immortality, but she guesses it has to do with the scars. It has been a lonely couple of centuries but has lately made some important friends and helped save the world with her Airbending and spiritiual powers.
I know it's frusting to not know, but I'm sure an answer will come to you. Wisdom takes time.

Trivia
- Inia had an encounter with a spirit that left her immortal. She had helped the spirit out of danger and it had accidentally hurt her, scaring her. It blessed her with eternal life as sorry.
- During and after the 100 Year War, she had to go into hidding in order to protect herself. She was on the White Lotus' protection list until it was safe for her again.
- Inia is a vegetarian, but ate meat during the 100 Year War as self preservation to stay hidden.
- Inia constantly travelled to never stay in one place too long. She hasn't made many friends because of this, but has some very close ones.
- She often visits the Spirit World just to chat with Iroh.
- She is a friend to most spirits, as she has spent a lot of time wondering their homes.
Demeanor
She is a friend to poeple, animals and spirits. She is a kind soul with the patience of someone with all the time in the world. She is more than happy to impart her knowledge onto others, but prefers that they have a go at learning themselves. She is often found meditating as she loves to spend a lot of time in both worlds.
You have to talk to her first. She does not lead, especially in conversation. She will talk a lot if you ask her questions though. She is mostly quiet and observant otherwise.
The 100 Year War stopped her from starting conversations, but she's getting better at it again.
Inia is not picky in ways to show affection, she knows she is loved and makes sure others know they are loved. However, her favourite way to show others she loves them is to give them gifts that remind her of them.

Home

Combat

Skills & abilities
Airbending
She was never really good at airbending, but with over 400 years of it up her sleeve she has become practiced in all the forms and uses it comes with. She finds comfort in beind able to airbend now.
Spiritual Projection
She's always been in touch with her spiritual self, so has been good as using the spiritual abilities that come with her airbending history, but she does not use this power very often.
Sense of Spirit
She is able to sense where others are through their spiritual energy, and by trying to feel for them through anything. She is also very good at meditating into the spirit world, being able to bring others with her.
Inia has had many friends over the years, but none as close as she has been with Rua. She would lay down her life for her, and knows that Rua feels the same way. They are attatched by the hip, and do almost everything together, and go everywhere together. They make a good fighting pair as well, being in sync with each others moves.
They met when skipping rocks, and somehow Inia had the most skips (she was airbending).
Inia enjoys fighting with Avira, and loves the look of her lava. She has never become friends with a lavabender until now. She likes to play games with her, and go exploring through the city with her. They love to spend a lot of time together just generally messing around. She still struggles with trusting people but Avira helps her get through that barrier.
She met Avira through Korra, but grew closer with her than the rest of the group.
Inia meets with the Krew after Harmonic Convergence. She presents herself as a new airbender that joins while they search through the Earth Kingdom, though later admits to who she is. This becomes apparent with her high airbending and spiritual skills. She helps fight the Red Lotus, and after they are defeated, helps Tenzin teach the airbenders about their history.
Korra & CO
Avatar Korra [ friends ]
Inia has immense respect for Korra, and appreciates all the work she does. She puts herself towards helping Korra's cause, and can often offer her help and wisdom. She enjoys talking and sparring with her, as the Avatar is always going to be a good challenge. She teaches Korra a lot about airbending, and the different techniques she can use.
Asami Sato [ friends ]
Inia also confides within Asami, alongside Rua. She finds Asami to be good company, who sees her issues and offers her good advice. They like to joke around together, and love playing pai sho on a rainy day. Asami tends to win, but Inia gets her back in their nonbending sparring matches. Inia loves to learn about new technology from Asami too, always expanding her knowledge.
Tenzin[ close friend ]
Inia looks up to Tenzin, though she is much older than him, she has immense respect for the work and effort he's put into holding what's left of the Air Nation together. He has a special fondness for her, as she offers to help train the new generation of airbenders, and shows them all the techniques from her time of living.
Mako[ boyfriend ]
Mako and Inia find that even though they care about each other, they often find themselves arguing with each other like siblings. They get into stupid arguments and tend to fight with their fists, but they would never hurt each other. Inia loves to play pranks on Mako too, which he plays back even though he says they're too childish. They also have pretty intense sparring sessions. It takes them a long time, but eventually they realise their feelings for each other when they experience near death together.
Bolin [ close friend ]
Inia inherently has a closer relationship to Bolin due to Mako and Avira. She tends to hang out with him, Avira and Rua the most, as they all enjoy adventuring. Maple and Pabu also get along great, which started off their relationship strong. They enjoy talking and often pull pranks on one another that get more insane as time passes. She enjoys sparring with him as earthbending is a challenging for her, as she loves the look of lava.
Jinora[ close friend ]
Inia sees Jinora like a niece. She teaches her a lot of advanced airbending skills, as well as helps her devlop her spiritual abilities. Jinora is glad to have someone to teach her, and grows fond of Inia. They tend to travel into the spirit world together to enjoy the spirits and just generally have some fun in their down time. Inia often takes Jinora out for more intensive training.
