Appearance Suzume is a slender young girl with long black hair tied back into a ponytail with a red ribbon and piercing blue eyes. She prefers to wear darker clothes to help her blend in. Her usual jacket has a tall collar to help conceal her face and protect it from high winds, and is reinforced in various places to cover up damage from attacks and general wear and tear, becoming somewhat of a patchwork of various pieces of fabric and leather. Suzume normally keeps a small back on the back of her waist, often used to carry tools for picking locks and disabling alarms.
Personality Suzume is a natural liar, adept at weaving any tale to suit her needs. She is fully aware of the difficulties in trusting someone like her, and as such does not trust anyone except herself. Suzume is prideful and confident in her abilities, making her a little arrogant and at times prone to condescension. Her loyalties are thin, and she has no qualms of turning her back on a former ally if they are no longer useful to her. While she is willing to take on most jobs, Suzume's strengths lie in espionage, sabotage, theft and assassination. Usually she keeps to herself, seeing other people either as eventual threats or targets.
History An orphan left on the steps of a temple in the Fire Nation capital, Suzume never knew her parents or why she was given up. Despite this, she was taken in by the temple monks and initially trained to be a Fire Sage. However, at the age of seven, while practicing martial arts with the monks, Suzume realised her airbender heritage after throwing a punch and hurling a strong air current across the courtyard. The Sages realised that Suzume could never become one of them as an airbender and had her expelled from their order much to her dismay. In spite of her removal, one of the senior Sages arranged for Suzume to be trained by military teachers, becoming an assassin in service to the Fire Nation as a deniable asset while they manipulated matters behind the scenes. By the age of eighteen, Suzume had become a skilled agent in service to the nation with a series of successful missions to her name. However, the success of an adopted assassin made more of the senior officers nervous; uncomfortable at the idea that if she were captured, their clandestine actions would be revealed, resulting in severe political backlash. As such, Suzume was sent on a mission to kill a corrupt politician who lived in the East of the island, though the mission was doomed from the beginning as her employers has tipped him off and Suzume was met an armed force waiting to kill her. Despite their attempts, Suzume escaped but was forced to go into hiding. Now betrayed again, she realised that nobody could be trusted and left the Fire Nation. She no longer cared about who she worked for and made her skills available for the highest bidder, finding a healthy supply of work in Republic City.

Weapons Yoroidōshi A stronger and larger form of the tantō, Suzume's Yoroidōshi is reserved for killing blows rather than extended combat. Its design makes it better suited to piercing light armour than regular knives and daggers. Suzume carries her blade on her back, rather than on her waist.
