'Ello luvs. So, I decided to write a long, post war, Avatar family fanfic. YAY ME! But anyway, I am absolutely determined to write this, not matter how much I get flamed, (If I get flamed) or even if you don't review it at all! (But I would prefer if you reviewed. Hint hint, poke poke) Oh and the list of characters will be up on my profile under My Stories, in case you get confuzzled about all these new names. Remember, reviews are not your enemies, they are your friends.
Disclaimer: I don't own Avatar, or Aang's hair. (Sighs and daydreams about Aang's hair) Oh this cruel, cruel world. Anyway, enjoy!
My Father, the Avatar
Prologue
There is only one word to describe my family: big. My father always said he wanted a big family, seeing as he never grew up with siblings at all. I would never have realized how big our family would get, until, of course, it was almost too big to handle. But my family can get through anything. I guess I should introduce my family to you.
I'll start with my sister, Mysha. It always starts with her. Nine-years-old, talkative, the longest brown hair you will ever see, and an airbender. She takes pride in the fact that she is the only girl airbender in the entire world, and she often goes on about it for quite awhile. She is also proud of the blue arrow on her forehead. She practically worked day and night to achieve such an honor, and now she is a master. Nine-years-old, and a master. Unbelievable.
Shu is six years old. Like Mysha, he is also an airbender. Unlike Mysha, he's absolutely awful at it. My father is working with him as much as he can, but business takes him away often, so Mysha has offered to help him. Unfortunately, she takes after Auntie Toph, and has Shu working the most gruesome exercises in the history of bending itself. So my brother is steadily getting, well, nowhere I guess. I've talked with Mysha countless times, but she is so stubborn, and is convinced that the awful training is the only way to train Shu. I feel so sorry for him.
Torako is 12 years old, and brilliant. He is the only non-bender in our family, but he is never teased about it. If we did, we would have to face the wrath of my mother, and nobody wants that. Torako's specialty is studying the theory of bending, currently waterbending. But other than theory of bending, he also knows about everything else you can think of. My brother is nothing short of amazing.
Last, but not least of my siblings, is Itomo. He's a waterbender, just like me! Unfortunately, he is only three, so I can't converse with him on the wonders of waterbending. Nor can we teach him anything, for my mother declared him "too young" whenever my father offered to teach him. Of course, my mother may just be jealous because she wants to teach Itomo waterbending herself, but whatever.
In my extended family, there are my cousins and my Auntie Toph and Uncle Sokka. Uncle Sokka is my mother's older brother, and has known my father and Auntie Toph for years. Long ago, the four of them got into many "escapades" as my uncle calls them, "a lot of trouble" my mom calls it. The four of them have been friends for, well, a long time. They have even been known as the "Fearsome Foursome", but I think my uncle madethat one up.
Any way, I have three cousins; Sashia and the twins, Komo and Moko. Sashia is nine, and a non-bender, like Torako. Surprisingly, she is best friends with Mysha, the all powerful airbender. Maybe it's because they are the same age. Maybe it's because the theory of "opposites attract" is true, according to Torako. They certainly couldn't bemore different, that's for sure. Personally, I think Sashia just likes to ride on Mysha's glider.
The twins, Komo and Moko are seven years old, and they both are earthbenders, just like Auntie Toph. They are not blind like her, but she still teaches them the art of "seeing with your feet" thing or whatever it is. All I can say is, that when we play tag, they never, ever, get caught.
Before I get ahead of myself, I should probably introduce my mother, Katara. People say that I look, and act, exactly like her. I don't know about the acting bit, but I do know that I could be my mother's twin, if I wasn't her daughter. From my hair loopies, as my father calls them, to my facial features, to the pouch of water at my side. I don't know what I would do without my water; it's a part of who I am.
Then, we have my father. Some call him Aang, some (OK, one person) calls him Twinkle Toes, but most call him the Avatar. Being the Avatar has never altered my image of my father, hey, if he wasn't the Avatar, I wouldn't even be here would I? He has many responsibilities as the Avatar, and he is away from home a lot, but whenever he comes back, he always has time for us individually. I love my father with all of my heart.
Speaking of me, I should probably tell you who I am. My name is Leila, a fourteen year old master waterbender, and oldest daughter of Katara and Aang.
There are many stories about my father and his adventures, but this time, it'smy story.
B/N I love this! I can' wait for this to continue. Just the beginning yet I feel so excited to read more. You have great skill.
