Product Description
Maji was raise in a waterbending tribe high in the mountains where ice and snow are a mainstay. Generations ago, the ruling Monarchy of the surrounding lands ordered that a waterbending tribe be set in the snow capped mountains to regulate pure water flow to the kingdom’s lands to manage possible drought conditions. Since then, her tribe has known no other home as they are in essence forced to remain in the mountains.
At a very young age, Maji exhibited waterbending skill and control well beyond her years and was quickly deemed a bending prodigy and genius by her tribe leaders. She began transcribing waterbending philosophy at age 8, and was soon the star talent of her tribe. It was on her 11th year that she discovered Steam bending, which was all but unheard of until this point as traditional use only leans towards ice and cold water manipulation. This discovery meant that if taught to other waterbenders in the surrounding areas, new forms of water regulation and purification could be implemented throughout the lands and her people could finally be free of their contract.
With this goal in hand, Maji is sent with a ranking leader from her tribe to negotiate new terms with the residing King. Unfortunately, her hopes were quickly crushed upon her first few minutes of meeting with the King who was terribly self absorbed and greed-ridden. Maji’s pleas fell upon unconcerned ears before being dismissed entirely. Outraged by the encounter, Maji’s emotions flared as she was determined to insert her goal to set her people free, she seared the hands of the king using her steambending. The King, besides himself in utter fury, calls for the destruction of her village and the imprisonment of her entire tribe along with Maji herself! Disgusted with the situation, Maji and her tribesmen narrowly escape the kingdom and must now ready themselves for war with a tyrant.
With the impossible odds stacked against her people, Maji is desperate to find a solution when she randomly comes across a wanted poster sent out by the King himself for the capture of the new Avatar, Abioye. Her mind whirls to concoct a strategy that aligns herself with Abioye to fight off their now common enemy. Her hopes is that she can offer her waterbending knowledge to the Avatar(before he learns it elsewhere) in exchange for his help in defending her people. They set off to hunt down this new avatar with newfound hope. Read more Here.
