HISTORY
Nix has had a twisted life. Her mother was a young bender who couldn't control her power, she could control water and she found that her ability only caused her problems. A boy a little older than her helped her though and taught her how to control her powers, he himself could control fire so he knew a little of the feeling. Time passed and the two had a child and got married, but it didn't last. The girl's family found out about her love with a firebender and they cut her off, only a little later the pair died in an accident that has never really been explained. Leaving their baby girl alone.
The girl's sister took pity on her and took in the baby but her pity ran dry very soon. It turned out that nix started showing she was different from a very young age, she took to a habit of using her water bending skills very openly. Her aunt hated this and would always take a knife to nix to scare her in to stopping from using her ability. So as nix grew, she had to use her power because of their connection to her parent who she had lost and yet if she was seen using them by her family, she was beaten and cut. She grew up to the age of nine under such care and she was very small, her hair was always messy and she was so thin that the school she attended began to contact home and ask if all was ok.
But one day it all went wrong, nix snapped. Her uncle came home drunk and she happened to be down stairs, doing chores as she was always commanded. He reached out to her and she flinched away which only angered him and she couldn't help it, she flicked her hands up in defense. Nix opened her eyes to see him frozen in a block of jagged ice before her and panicked, she ran to her tiny attic room and gathered all she owned before stealing her mother black fingerless gloves and she ran away from her "home"
She didn't get far as she had never been out of her aunt and uncles home in the northern water tribe and she wasn't fed well either and with the rags she had been forced to wear and the ice all around her, she began to feel faint. Luckily for her, someone found her as she was about to freeze to death. The person was a boy only a year older than nix but much better cared for, he carried her to his home and asked his mother to help her and so the family set about saving this girl they had just happened to have found. But even the boys mothers healing abilities weren't working as nix didn't want to live on so the boys father made her an offer, if she tried to heal and get better then he would teach her waterbending as a skill and not just healing. This was the only reason nix ever got better.
It took her a good few months to gain the weight and strength she needed to be allowed lessons but the boys father, Jark, a waterbending master, kept to his word and taught the girl all about waterbending from the age of ten. His son also has the ability which made the two even firmer friends and nix was pretty much adopted by the family, she never told them who her aunt and uncle were as she didn't want to get them in trouble. she saw no point in making them suffer as she had done, it wasn't helpful to anyone. When she turned 15, she started to get unwanted interest from the boys of the tribe and so she decided to leave and start a trip around the world to learn all she could about waterbending and also to get away from being made a wife and mother and losing her chance to bend as she is so very close to mastering the skill now

PERSONALITY
Nix has been hurt a lot of her life and so she is a naturally aggressive person as a result. She can seem sharp and rude when you first meet her, unless she’s in a good mood or you seem to be in a victim in which case she'll most likely defend you even though you don't know her. She will always stick up for anyone small or weak due to her being hurt and knowing the feeling, she want to prevent anyone ever having to deal the same as her. But she is a kind kid, she takes a while to trust people but when she does she really will give her life to save them.
