He was trained, from birth he was prepared to be the best of the best, never given any free time, never having any fun
He wasn't even given a name he was simply known as archer #12. When he finally escaped the control of the fire nation
He was incapable of speech and had no social skills whatsoever. The first person who tried to shake his had was quickly incapacitated
He got a lot of trouble from villages he passed through but he couldn't help it fire nation red was the only clothing he owned. that's why he avoided
villages, too much trouble and that's how he found them, the freedom fighters, the people who gave him a home and friends but most importantly
for the sake of his sanity they gave him a name. Longshot.
