Kimiko

Kimiko Kamiya is a Fire Nation noblewoman and a diplomat of the Fire Nation government. Under the orders of Vachir, she has been assigned the task of recruiting Avatar Shen to the Fire Nation's side and training him in Firebending.

Background
Kimiko Kamiya was born into a wealthy family of Fire Nation nobles in 231 AG. She grew up alongside Poi, the adopted daughter of servants who worked in the Kamiya household. The two spent most of their time together, and developed a sister-like bond.

With strong encouragement from her parents, Kimiko became an excellent Firebender. Her parents praised her constantly and exaggerated her skills to Vachir, with whom they were close friends. For this reason, Vachir selected her to be the one to find and train the Avatar.

Personality:
The notion that her culture is superior to the rest of the “primitive” world is well-established in Kimiko's head. That’s not to say she’s racist; she simply believes that other people have not been properly enlightened.

But unlike her peers, Kim never cared much for the constant fighting and back-stabbing done for the sake of status. She found it just as uncouth as the behavior of outsiders.

This aspect of her personality is what gave rise to her close friendship with Poi. Poi was the child of servants employed by Kim’s family, and was often brought to work so that she wasn’t left home alone. In her, Kim found a person who didn’t demand that she prove herself, and a friendship closer than most sisters.

Growing up wealthy and without risk of serious consequences (and possibly a result of Poi’s extremely supportive nature), Kim developed an unhealthy amount of confidence in her own abilities.

Though she is a skilled Firebender and a natural diplomat, Kimiko has little experience traveling on her own, and hates getting her hands dirty.

She also tends to take many parts of her life for granted, including Poi’s constant cheeriness.

Firebending
Kimiko is a Firebender, and thus is able to create and manipulate fire. Her style of Firebending is very graceful, almost like dancing, having studied traditional Agni Kai forms.
