Bao

Bao is one of the main characters of Avatar Legends: the Mirror Scale, played by Kate.
== Early Life ==
The Saowon Clan may have been tarnished by their failed attempts to acquire the Fire Kingdom throne during the Kyoshi era, but their aspirations were never extinguished. Thanks to the military advances of Sozin and Ozai, Bao's forebears found new ways to flex power and exert force on the world: some as colonial governors, others as military leaders.
Bao was born into this lineage, heir to the Saowon holdings - if only they were drawn to a leadership role. Instead, Bao learned how to make their excuses and compliment their superiors in just the right way to get out of practicing public speaking or performing combat drills. Often they would slip away to speak with their older cousin who was in charge of the research and development branch. Kaisuke dreams of sharing his discoveries with everyone rather than signing exclusive contracts, regardless of the repercussions. These conversations would drag on under the guise of Bao's education, and they did indeed pick up a thing or two along the way when it came to machinery.
As Bao approached an age where they were expected to take an outward-facing role in the family's business, they began hatching a plot to escape - plans which were expedited when Bao suddenly began airbending after Harmonic Convergence. Knowing their family's implication in the eradication of the Air Nomads, and not wanting to join another strict order of traditions, Bao fled Fire Fountain City in favour of Republic City - a place big enough to get lost, blend in, and to start climbing ranks in a different sort of order. There they've plied their traditions of subtle guidance and hints to get exactly what they want, never outwardly stating their goals - Bao knows Lady Huzao's failure was a result of straying too far from the Saowon tradition of keeping one's cards close to their chest.
== Current ==
Having worked a while to make a name for themselves in Republic City's underworld, Bao is now looking to rise to the surface.
