Ziyi was an outlaw and adventurer of Earth Kingdom origin. She traveled with a group of comrades after the Hundred Year War, seeking to protect her new home Linsho and her friends from harm.[2]
History
Ziyi was born in the Earth Kingdom during the late Hundred Year War. Her home town was occupied by the Fire Nation and subject to excessive exploitation, reducing the inhabitants to poverty and gradually ruining the settlement. When her father died, Ziyi had enough and fled into the nearby wilderness. She became an outlaw, stealing to survive. Starved of social contact, she eventually drifted to the Fire Nation colony of Linsho. There, she found a new home as the locals welcomed her into their community. For a time, Ziyi was content with her life. When the Hundred Year War ended and the Harmony Restoration Movement was initiated, however, Linsho and other regional communities were severely disrupted.[2]
Seeking to protect her new home and help others, Ziyi embarked to help keep the peace in the region. Eventually, she met and befriended a naive martial artist named Ginkgo. Ziyi soon started to see it as her duty to protect the boy during his often foolish quests.[1][2] While in the Earth Kingdom town of Machi, she and Ginkgo helped quell a riot when the Harmony Restoration Movement fell apart in 101 AG. In the process, they met Kallika, Toklo, and Chihiro. As a result of their role in ending the local crisis, the five companions were given a special dispensation by the regional governor to help towns adjust to the fallout of the decolonization process.[1]
Ziyi later returned to Linsho alongside her new comrades during the Squid Ink Festival, seeking an arsonist who had been involved in several violent incidents in the region. While in town, they watched a conflict break out between the town's Fire Nation Loyalists and Earth Kingdom Restorationists, with each blaming the other for a fire at a Blue Skies Fisheries warehouse. Mayor Leaf tasked the companions with finding the arsonist as quick as possible, while also keeping people safe, as a storm was brewing.[1][3]
Personality
Ziyi was suspicious, harsh, and protective. Having experienced great suffering at the hands of the Fire Nation during the Great War, she wanted to shield others from this kind of pain.[1][2]
Abilities
Ziyi was a capable earthbender, able to hurl large boulders. As a result of her protective nature, Ziyi was also observant of her allies, always looking out to intervene if threats presented themselves.[1][2]
