Economic background: Born low-class and worked her way up
Profession: Healer
Likes: Plants, science, helping children
Dislikes: Rudeness, crime, stupidity
General attitude: Quiet and guarded when she’s off duty, Lanik is also capable of being warm and hospitable to clients she’s working with.
Backstory: Lanik’s little sister died of a strange illness when they were young. With her last breath, she said that she felt like she was drowning on the inside, but there was no water in her lungs. The healers didn’t know what to make of it and Lanik always blamed the death of her sister on the lack of innovation in healing techniques. Now as a healer herself, Lanik strives to advance her skills, even if it means experimenting with live human bodies. She only picks truly despicable people and criminals to experiment on and it has led to breakthroughs in her healing.
Key flaw: Lanik is so driven to further her experiments, her sense of justice starts to twist. She becomes more eager to find flaws in people in order to justify using them in her experiments.
Weakness: While Lanik is hyperaware of human bodies, she is less sensitive to physical changes in her environment. This makes her vulnerable to long-range attacks.

Physical attributes: Lanik is of average height, with a slim build. Her hair is tied up in an elaborate braid.

Clothing: Modified waterbender cloak. She wears a necklace with a charm on it that belongs to her sister.
Weapons / Paraphernalia: Medical bag, water pouch, test tube with blood in them. Any bloodshed on the battlefield floats around her.

Description
Name: Ty-Hoo
Sex: Female
Race: Fire Nation
Age: 16
Intelligence: Photographic memory and master of social engineering
Education Type and Level: Top of her class in Fire Nation school, but ran away when they lost the war
Economic background: Orphan that was adopted by a high-class family until they had seven identical children and returned her to the foster home
Profession: Performer / Con Artist
Likes: All the free things she gets and the warm hospitality that comes with pretending to be a Ty sister
Dislikes: Being alone, annoying people, sentimental mushiness
General attitude: She acts friendly sometimes, but she is generally conniving. She’s always on the lookout for ways to take advantage of those around her. Deep down, she’s always wanted a found family, but she is also afraid of getting hurt.
Backstory: An orphan of war, Ty-Hoo was bounced from foster home to foster home as a child. To her surprise, when she looked through her records she found out a high-class family actually adopted her when she was a baby but gave her up again when they had seven identical children, which are the Ty sisters. This knowledge made her feel so sick she got a drowning feeling in her chest. To this day, it still comes and goes.
Key flaw: Ty-Hoo can easily fake a friendship with others, but she doesn’t know how to handle genuine emotional closeness. She feels empowered when she can get the upper hand on others and trick them into giving her whatever she wants. If she actually begins to care about someone, she either leaves them or becomes paranoid they will betray her.
Weakness: Jealous of people who have close friends and family, she loses focus the more an opponent shows care and support to their team members (i.e. collaborative attacks, healing each other).

Description
Name: Hoka & Rusto
Sex: Female (Hoka), Male (Rusto)
Race: Mixed, half Fire Nation and half Earth Kingdom
Age: 13
Intelligence: Kinaesthetic learners with a ton of street smarts, they’re both great with people
Education Type and Level: As dropouts of Beifong Academy, they’ve mastered the basics of metalbending but prefer self-lead inventing
Economic background: Middle-class upbringing, now runaways
Profession: Freelance inventors, scrap metal collector (Hoka) / thief (Rusto)
Likes: Cabbage cookies, finding useful scrap metal, her brother (Hoka)
Jasmine tea, stealing useful scrap metal, his sister (Rusto)
Dislikes: Jasmine tea, stealing, stuffy classrooms (Hoka)
Cabbage cookies, scavenging, being bossed around (Rusto)
General attitude: Curious and fun-loving, Hoka enjoys new experiences and charming the people around her. She gets wilder when she’s around her brother, but she also keeps him from taking things too far. Rusto is a daredevil who likes testing the limits of his money-making schemes. He wants to make money fast, in case the weird drowning feeling he has in his chest is actually serious and Hoka will be left alone without him.
Backstory: Hoka and Rusto ran away from home because they were tired of all the political tension in their hometown Yu Dao. They wanted a new adventure and to leave behind all the drama associated with their mixed heritage. Beifong Academy was just the first of a long string of adventures ahead of them. Everything is great now, except Hoka doesn’t know that Rusto started experiencing symptoms of a strange illness. It’s starting to feel like he’s drowning on the inside...
Key flaw: Hoka hates being tied down. She will step away from a situation that’s even the slightest bit restrictive out of principle. Rusto finds his sister too idealistic. Unlike her, he is not too worried about any values as long as he’s making money...and nobody is hurt too bad.
Weakness: When the twins don’t get along, they lose focus and become vulnerable to any individually targeted attacks.

Visuals
Physical attributes: Both twins look older than their age because they invented limb enhancements that make them taller. This way, adults would take them seriously. Hoka is a little bit taller than Rusto which makes him insecure, so he spikes his hair up.
Movement: Their movements are a little clanky because they use limb enhancements. Hoka always has dirt on her nose which she rubs off when she’s bored, and Rusto likes to touch up his hair, making sure it’s spiky.
Clothing: Since they move around so much, they wear a mix of clothing from the different regions they’ve visited.
Weapons / Paraphernalia: Their limb enhancements have different modes that allow them to drill underground and dig up rocks.
