History:

Visola is a waterbender, born in the Southern Water Tribe to Chief Hakoda and his wife Kya. During her childhood, she was one of only two waterbenders living in the Southern Water Tribe, along with her younger sister Katara. After losing her mother in a Fire Nation raid and her father left to battle against the Fire Nation in the Hundred Year War, she was left to fill the role of the maternal figure for Sokka and Katara, with help from their grandmother Kanna.

Born into the diminished Southern Water Tribe capital of Wolf Cove to Hakoda and Kya, Visola faced the reality of her tribe's dwindling strength from an early age. At the time of her birth, fifty years of repeated Fire Nation raids intended to capture and imprison the tribe's waterbenders had left them devoid of benders.

While the Southern Water Tribe's defenses would have crumbled under the might of the Fire Nation, the tribe's relative inaccessibility in the frigid South Pole and the Fire Nation's perception that they were a non-threat meant that they were mostly left alone. Visola grew up within a loving, close family and community in her tribe.

However, when Visola was twelve, the Fire Nation again raided the village when charged by Fire Lord Azulon to find and dispose of the last remaining waterbender in the tribe. During the battle, the leader of the raid Yon Rha confronted Visola's mother, who was taking refuge in the family's igloo. Seeking shelter with her mother, Visola ran back to her home and interrupted their exchange. Realizing the intentions of Yon Rha, who had demanded Kya tell him the identity of the waterbender, Kya insisted Visola leave and gave herself up as the last waterbender, lying to protect her daughter. Visola ran to fetch her father, but by the time they returned, Yon Rha had left and her mother had been killed. The death of their mother had a profound impact on Visola, Katara and Sokka, and whilst Visola tried to stop her anger and grief from becoming a part of her, Sokka and Katara both began to feel deep hatred and resentment toward the Fire Nation as a result.

With the absence of a mother figure in the family, Visola soon found herself filling the role left behind by Kya. She began to take on many of the domestic responsibilities expected of women of the Southern Water Tribe, despite her young age. When Visola was around sixteen years old, her father, Chief Hakoda, left to fight in the Hundred Year War with the rest of the men of the Southern Water Tribe. Visola, Katara and Sokka were left in the care of their grandmother, Kanna. Though Kanna loved the three of them and cared deeply for them, Visola was left feeling alone. Living in a tribe consisting almost completely of women, children, and the elderly, she took care of not only her own family but of the whole Southern Water Tribe as well.

Personality:

Visola is considered to be pure of heart by those around her. Often taking a maternal role with Sokka and Katara following the death of their mother, Visola is wise and mature beyond her age but a deeply caring and compassionate young woman.

Visola is basically nice and reasonable with any other person, and tries to get along with anyone who interacts with her, even if they are hostile to her.

She thinks about others before herself, and wouldn't hesitate to risk her life to save others, sometimes even people she doesn't know. This likely comes from having to raise Sokka and Katara and always putting their needs first.

Visola gives her enemies chances and allows them to redeem themselves. Sometimes, she even saves her enemies, after being their victims.

Visola shows her courage through actions, such as saving lives, or at least making life much easier for people in need, she is known to volunteer for charitable deeds, and she is known to be well-loved by the people because of how kind and generous she is. And most importantly, she expects no reward.

Visola felt lonely as she grew up, more so after her father left, but she does her best to hide this from those around her.

Powers:

Hydrokinesis/Water-Bending: Visola can manipulate water molecules or moisture to freeze her surroundings. Visola can convert water to and from the three states of matter. Due to the vast amount of water and moisture available on Earth, Visola's only limit is her mental and physical capacity.

- Water Detection: Visola can sense the presence of water and possibly gain detailed information about the water she is sensing, including the amount/size of water she is sensing and whether it is hidden or not.

- Hydrokinetic Combat: Visola is able to utilize water with her physical combat, using it both as weapon and defense, summoning waves to batter her opponents or whips to cut or bind. She oftens creates a strong water shield.

- Water Propulsion: Visola can shoot water.

- Hydro-Telekinesis: Using a string of water, Visola can move objects with her mind.

- Hydrokinetic Regeneration: Visola can heal herself and others by using water molecules to repair and regenerate damaged cells and molecules.

- Water Solidification: Visola can harden water into an almost solid shape by increasing the surface tension of the water. She can use this power to walk on water and create a strong water shield.

Cryokinesis (limited): Visola can use cryokinesis to a small degree. She can manipulate frozen or icy water around her much like the Northern and Southern water-benders, though because she was raised in a more tropical environment, her skill isn't as refined as the other tribes.

Vitakinesis: Visola can heal most wounds and cure most poisons when in contact with water, the amount of water and time needed for the healing being proportionate to the severity of the wound.

Belongings:

Necklace: Visola's necklace is a white choker with a light blue, hand-crafted jewel bearing the waterbending symbol. It was originally crafted by Pakku as a betrothal necklace for Kanna, but it has since become a family heirloom passed from one generation to the next, starting with Kanna, who passed it to Kya, who finally passed it to Visola. The necklace is Visola's most treasured possession, serving as her only memento of her deceased mother.

- Katara wears a similar necklace that Visola made for her after Katara kept trying to steal Visola's own necklace as it too reminded her of their mother. The only difference is that Katara's is made with a blue choker instead of white and the jewel is rougher as Visola isn't gifted in stonecraft. Katara cherishes this necklace for two reasons, that it reminds her of her mother, and that Visola made it for her.
