APPEARANCE
height - five feet eleven inches, 1.8 meters, 180.3 centimeters

build - Ying has what could be described as a long and lean build. She has some muscle, but not in an abundance. She is flexible and built lightly, sort of like a runner.

distinguishing features - Due to being able to master airbending, Ying has the traditional blue arrow tattoos.
other - While some Airbending women have shaved part of their foreheads to reveal the arrow there, Ying has not.
HISTORY
Ying was born in the Western Air Temple (the Hanging Temple). She did not know her parents, which is usual for those of her culture. The girl was raised and taught by monks, and became very spiritual from a young age. She was not at all mellow, however, and was very much a wild child. She could bend from a young age, and was prone to pulling practical jokes. It was very hard at first to get her to meditate, but eventually her teachers would manage to tire her out enough to sit still.
While she continued to be very full of life and energy, she was also clever enough to channel that into mastering the tiers of Airbending. It was somewhat difficult, but she worked hard enough to master it at a young age, though not as young as Avatar Aang had, two centuries before her. Her masters were impressed, though were still somewhat doubtful about her reckless nature. Nevertheless, they agreed to let her travel the world with her Sky Bison companion, Poda, so long as she checked in with the other Air Temples from time to time.
This new life promises to be one full of adventures, and perhaps some narrow escapes.
PERSONALITY
Ying is a very free spirited person. She's very optimistic and humorous, as well as clever and mischievous. In a way, she's rather childlike in her need to pull pranks and have fun. However, there is another, deeper side to her. Her spiritual side houses her strong morals. Meditation is a very important part of her daily life, and in a way she relies on it to help her.
She has always been taught to detach herself and allow her spirit to be free, and this she follows without fail. Every life is important, and everything is connected. It is her hope that one day she can venture into the spirit world and call upon the wisdom of the spirits.
