Aoma

Aoma was an earthbender, farmer, and the daughter of the village captain of Yokoya. In her youth, she was among those who regularly harassed a local servant girl, Kyoshi, due to her closeness to the suspected Avatar, Yun, despite her status as outsider and orphan.
== History ==
Aoma was born to the village captain of Yokoya and her husband around 312 BG. As a result, she was the ideal age to be the possible successor of Avatar Kuruk. When masters Jianzhu and Kelsang visited Yokoya in 305 BG, Aoma was among the Earth Kingdom children presented with the Avatar relics, but she failed the test, much to the annoyance of her mother.
Growing up, Aoma learned some basic earthbending techniques to help her parents with the farm work. Over time, she came to bully Kyoshi, an orphan who had become a servant at the Avatar mansion that had been built in Yokoya to house Yun, the earthbender identified as Kuruk's successor. Aoma was jealous of Kyoshi's friendship with Yun and the comparatively good life she had at the mansion, while she had to toil on her parents' fields. Her anger at Kyoshi only increased as Aoma developed a crush on Yun. Aoma had physically harmed Kyoshi with a rock on many occasions in her youth.
In 296 BG, Aoma and her friends Suzu and Jae held up Kyoshi outside the mansion as she was delivering a jar of pickled spicy kelp. Using her earthbending, Aoma took the jar from Kyoshi and floated it in the air while taunting the servant. Realizing that this was a chance to get into contact with Yun, Aoma declared that she would "help" Kyoshi by transporting the jar to the Avatar mansion. This plan fell through, however, when the group was stopped by Rangi, Yun's bodyguard and a friend of Kyoshi. Aoma first attempted to make excuses and use her charm in order to convince the firebender to let her through, but Rangi remained unswayed and ordered them to leave the grounds of the mansion. Angered, Aoma launched the jar far into their air in defiance of Kyoshi and Rangi before fleeing back to the village.
== Personality ==
Aoma was a selfish and unsympathetic individual. She frequently harassed Kyoshi throughout her youth; on one occasion she did so out of jealousy due to the fact that Kyoshi was close to Yun. Aoma was also defiant, such as when she tossed the clay vessel that Kyoshi had carried high into the air when Rangi confronted her for bullying the servant girl. She was also entitled, dismissing the fact that at least seven local boys had developed a crush on her, as "those village boys have got nothing on Avatar Yun".
== Abilities ==
Aoma was an earthbender who possessed a notable amount of raw strength and an adequate amount of control. She could lift a clay vessel that required two grown men to carry high out of reach for an extended amount of time and throw it high into the air. Kyoshi considered Aoma to be a talented earthbender.
Aoma was also known to use her charm and misdirection in order to avoid getting in trouble for harassing Kyoshi.
