Description
Name: Lanik
Sex: Female
Race: Northern Water Tribe
Age: 31
Sex: Female
Race: Northern Water Tribe
Age: 31
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.

Weapons / Paraphernalia: Medical bag, water pouch, test tube with blood in them. Any bloodshed on the battlefield floats around her.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air. It is three years after the Hundred-Year War, and the four nations are finding their way back to harmony. But something strange is happening to benders, shifting the elements within them in dangerous ways.
You wake up with an injury and you don’t remember much of anything. All you can piece together from your past is that you have valuable information from the Spirit Library about this phenomenon. You must bring this to Avatar Aang before it’s too late for benders everywhere.
