## Biography

### Early life

Tuktirey was born in 2163 as the third and last biological child of Jake Sully and Neytiri. Being too young, she does not accompany the rest of her family on dangerous expeditions such as Lo'ak's Iknimaya ritual, and is then left in the care of the rest of the Omatikaya clan.

Tuk develops a special bond with her adoptive older sister Kiri.

### *Avatar: The High Ground*

In 2169, while their parents were attending council of elders, Tuk and Kiri, at the behest of Miles and Lo'ak, slipped away to the ancient battlefield. There, among the branches of a tree, they find the remains of a Samson and the skeleton of a banshee; As the children are fascinated by the machine and view its remains, Kiri teaches Tuk how to pay her respects to the late ikran. When the remains of the Samson slip off the branch and fall to the ground down a cliff, Tuk and Kiri hang from the vines at risk of falling from a great height. Kiri, however, manages to get herself and her younger sister safely to the ground using her "strange powers". Soon, Neteyam finds his siblings, long wanted by their parents.

Some time later, when a new wave of humans arrives on Pandora, Tuktirey, Lo'ak, and Kiri are trapped in the biolab as hostages. That's where Miles takes them out. After escaping from Hell's Gate, they head into the woods where they are found by a banshee, however the animal is shot dead by SecOps soldiers. At these moments later, Neytiri opens fire and thus the family is reunited. They are all saved from the soldiers by Mingxia.

### *Avatar: The Way of Water*

One day, Tuk's life becomes endangered when she and her siblings are caught by a group of Recombinants. Her parents come to her rescue, killing some of the Recoms in order to save their children. At the decision of Jake and Neytiri, faced with the new human threat, the entire Sully family emigrates to the territory of the Metkayina Clan. As she is too young to have tamed her own banshee, Tuk makes the journey in her mother's arms on her banshee.

Although initially saddened by having to leave the safety and comfort of the rainforest and feeling homesick, Tuk adapts to reef life quickly. She begins to become more comfortable with the clan's different lifestyle and the marine life. As Tsireya shows the children around the Metkayina village, Tuk is delighted and surprised by every new bit of exotic ocean flora and fauna she encounters. She is particulary fond of the ilus that live near the pelagic Na'vi.

## Personality and Traits

Tuktirey is a charming and funny girl who loves her family and is close to her mother; her grandmother Mo'at; and her sister Kiri.

She often snuggles with her parents, both her mother and father. She has a big heart and her family is the most important thing to her.

Although Tuk is an avatar/Na'vi hybrid, like Neteyam, she was born with four fingers and toes, and her face is browless, making her look like a full-blooded Na'vi. Due to her age, her hair is still quite short, though her braid is now completely long. She wears a decorative necklace around her chest and a purple loincloth; she is also armed with a small knife.

Like her parents, Tuk is brave and will do anything to protect those she loves. In a way, she looks a lot like her mother. Emotionally, she views her family, home, and Pandora as most important to her and is inclined to be healing and nurturing. At the same time, she also gets a lot of her personality from her father, such as being reckless and a bit stubborn or brave.

Having grown up in the forest next to the humans at Hell's Gate, Tuk is used to experiencing cultures others than her own. For that reason she quickly bonds with the Metkayina, blending in easily with the other reef kids. Young Tuk is full of boundless love and completely open to the world.
