【History】
Lee was born from a fire bender father and water bender mother. He himself doesn't really know much of how his parents met or why the two of them became a couple. In fact he knows very little about his parents at all. Lee was raised by a kind woman named Vesla Sozere in a small village, that's not too far away from Republic city, since he was a baby. All he knows is that both of his parents met some kind of unfortunate end. He knows nothing about his father and only that his mother appeared in that village soon after he was born. From what he was told by the woman who raised him, she found his mother collapsed near her doorstep, holding him. She was wounded and wearing Water nation traditional clothing. Despite the best efforts of Vesla, his mother died without even regaining consciousness. Thus the kind woman decided to raise him as the child she never had.
She named him Lee, which was a pretty common fire nation name and secretly buried his mother without anyone knowing. She concluded that since his mother was severely injured, there was a good chance someone might look for her and the child. Her decision hit lucky ground as soon after some people came to ask around for a woman wearing water nation clothing. Since no one else knew about that, they quickly went away. Afterward things continued without any problems. She raised him up, convincing the people from the village that someone left the child at her doorstep.
As Lee grew up, by chance he discovered his ability to heal his wounds via water. Which made pretty obvious he was a water bender. When he told about that to Vesla, she told him everything about his real mother and how she hid her death and secretly buried her. Lee loved Vesla as a real mother so that didn't cause any problems in their relationship, but he did start to secretly practice water bending. At night he would sneak out from the house and practice at the waterfall near the village. Being a very bright child, he listened and read many stories about the benders and from benders who happened to pass through the village. Eventually he learned that water benders considered the moon as the original water bender. He quickly believed that was true as he did realize his powers were greater at night when the moon was up.
Being self taught, he never realized exactly how great his abilities were until one day he actually met another water bender. The man was shocked at the power that the 17 year old then Lee showed. According to that water bender, Lee had master of the art at considerable degree already, which meant he had unbelievable talent, but he also appeared to lack the combat experience to back up that talent. After that encounter, Lee left his home to travel the world. In his travels his skills only grew greater as he learned even more new things and some he even picked from other types of benders. Blood bending was one of the abilities he acquired in his travels. Lee found out about that one by chance once he was attacked by a beast by surprise. In his panic, he pulled all the power he could at that moment under the full moon and made the beast collapse on the ground and stay there. It was soon afterwards he remembered the stories about the forbidden art.
Eventually Lee traveled to the North pole to test his skills after decade of wandering, a thing that eventually really leading him to be branded as a master. He was proposed to stay at the North, but he refused and went to Republic city where no one knew he was a bender. He preferred to live a quiet life, but what one wants and what destiny has in for him are not always the same thing...
【Element】
Water
Lee is a self taught water bender with unnatural strength and mastery for the lack of proper mentor. He mastered water bending after decades of practicing under the moonlight at night. He had heard stories how the water tribes considered the moon the original water bender.
Lee mastered drawing water from plants and even reached a level where he could draw certain amount of water from the air itself if it’s humid enough. The last ability he acquired was the ability to actually manipulate living creatures, also known as Blood bending.
【Equipment】
2 Crude steel swords. Cheap and made from mediocre materials, but nevertheless kept in perfect condition by their owner.
Rope with hook on it, used for climbing around the forest or in towns. He also uses it to catch people and animals sometimes.
【Others】
Lee lives in Republic city, keeping his skills secret. He has a job as food seller in a store and he is quite proud of it. That's why he rarely uses his combat skills or bending. The only time people became aware he was at least able to fight, was when he saved a girl that was being attacked by some random street thugs. He didn't use any bending, but still gave them one hell of a trashing.
