In an Earth Kingdom village a baby boy is born. His mother, the daughter of a refugee; the father, a water bender from the north.
The father asks his wife "What is his name?" for it being customary for the wife to name the child in his culture.
"He shall me called…..Mizu." The baby laughed and clapped his hands.
Ten years latter, Mizu runs across a field to his house crying. He goes to his mother's arms and crying "Why do they pick on me for being different, when I'm around why do strong winds appear?"
"There, there, it's all right" his mother says to him comfortingly "Let me tell you a story of my ancestors."
"But aren't you a person from the Earth Kingdom?"
"No, long ago, there were people that could bend the air…" "Air benders" Mizu interrupted, "but they were all killed."
"Yes, they were. However, those not at the temple survived and escaped the genocide. My father and mother both were children then, not much older then you. They met in their 30's and I was born when they were in their 50's. When I was twenty, I met your father, a strong water bending master from the North Pole. We married and you were born twenty years latter. Do you understand, you are an air bender descendent? It is no wonder that you can bend also. Now come, it is time you learned how to bend…"
One year latter Mizu bested his father in a bending match. "Amazing son, I didn't know you could bend water and earth as well."
"Actually dad" stated an embarrassed Mizu "I can't, you see I use the air to move water and to lift rocks."
"But the stances…"
"I learned the water bending stances from watching you water bend and the earth bending stances from the earth benders in town. Hehe"
"I see, you've progress well in your studies, well, it is time for supper"
Six months latter the Fire Nation attacked the village. In the escape Mizu's mother gave him a staff and said "This staff was my fathers glider, it served him well and well also serve you, now go."
"But mom"
"No buts go!" she says as she blasts him away with water.
Six months latter a now 12 year old Mizu walks threw a forest. Mizu wore earth clothing but just one shirt which he tore off the sleeves to make a t-shirt and pants which he tore of the bottom to make shorts just above the knee capes. His clothes which were originally yellow and green were black because he fell in a pool of black dye which also made the cloth on his glider black. His hair was raven blue, and his skin was white with a slight tan to it. On his staff was a spear head he added to cut wind.
His mission was to stop the fire nation.
