Heya! Your plotting thread is looking a little empty, let's fix that!

I've got a few characters, as follows:

- Grandma: Despite her age, I think Grandma is your best bet with my characters. She's old, crotchety, and rather pragmatic. She was a teenager during the 100 years war, so she finds the overall tension in the city about 'war' rather laughable. Her attitude towards blood bending would probably be less than charitable, but your character is just a baby to her and has plenty of time to learn the error of her ways.

- Charumati: Honestly I don't think Charu would be a good fit for your character unless you wanted something antagonistic (she is of full Galgori decent, trained in the old ways, and at 52 is a master at her craft (which includes chi-blocking)), but I'm concerned that it will wind up with a physical altercation that will not bode well for your character. :X However, if you want to talk details and see if we can come up with a good plot for it, I am all ears!

- Ren: Ren is an Air Acolyte having a small crisis of faith, but she would find the idea of blood bending absolutely abhorrent. She firmly believes the Air Nomads' philosophy (her crisis comes from a disagreement with how best to enact the philosophy) and that includes Avatar Aang's and Sifu Katara's teachings on the morality of blood bending. So, as with Charu, this would only work if it wound up being antagonistic (obviously the first meeting wouldn't be, but how long can Bao Zhu keep it hidden?).

- Kioko: I think Kioko would be your second best bet for a more amicable interaction. She's also a waterbender, but her primary occupation is a district nurse — she uses her waterbending only in a pinch, as she puts more stock in modern medicine than healing by waterbending (her thought is, what if there's ever a medical emergency with no water nearby? It's impractical to rely on it solely). Blood bending is against her morals, but as a nurse to the poorest district in the city, she has learned to put aside her qualms with what desperate people do — and I think after learning about Bao Zhu, she'd consider her to be desperate for not only survival, but her father's affection (which she'd be very Righteously Indignant over).

- Ling: I think Ling would wind up being the kind of interaction where, once Ling finds out she's a blood bender, Ling would actively avoid her. She's got a bit of a dodgy past and she actually has no problem with blood bending in theory (it's how it's used that she may have an issue with), but she's actively trying to avoid situations that would get her sister (who is a waterbender) in trouble which includes working with the law.

Does anyone catch your fancy?
