Avatar Rani - character sheet

i have seemed to start losing my ability to draw things traditionally. there are a few nitpicks here and there.
this is my most ambitious OC yet. an AVATAR. she's been in my head for awhile, but unlike my other OCs, she existed without a proper face. it's only quite recently when i started to give her a face and personality.
please note that i am not claiming canonity of this character or her story. if ever Bryke proceeds to continue and complete the avatar cycle series.

Storyline:
*since Korra's time is around the 1920s, and assuming Korra will pass away in her 80s, then that makes the birth of the earth Avatar around 1980s-1990s of real world time. now, assuming that the earth Avatar would live until his 80s too, then that time is waaaaay in the future even in our world; around 2065! even if the earth Avatar dies younger than that, we still haven't reached those years, so who knows what the future is in store for us. So this all pure speculation on my part.*

Avatar Rani is a Fire Nation born Avatar who lives in a time (even before her birth) when the world was peaceful. That is, during the early years of her Avatar life…

her world may be peaceful but it was still out of balance. in a time of modernity and technology, the old ways almost completely disappear. People do not care anymore about tradition and concepts from a bygone era, which includes nature, spirits, and the Avatar itself (people acknowledge what the Avatar is, but unlike Avatars of the past, is only more of a figurehead or a Nation’s cultural ornament.)

then a big problem has greatly threatened the balance of the 4 nations; another person emerged who can apparently control all 4 elements just like the Avatar. To make matters worse, the ‘other’ Avatar is almost identical to Rani. she is determined to win the world’s favour, and has zealous believers and followers at her disposal.

The world is in turmoil and confusion, for it now has two Avatars, and everyone knows that for so very long, only one Avatar can exist at a time. People then began to turn hostile towards either Avatar they think is fake, and a huge world war amongst people of the 4 nations is currently brewing; a war between people of Rani’s side, and people of the ‘other’ Avatar’s side.

Rani, being calm and soft-hearted by nature, is unwillingly in a position where armies are ready to fight for her (without her saying so). How can she prove that she is the real Avatar without having blood be shed to do so? And how can she overcome her spiritual block to unlock the Avatar State, which is the greatest proof of her authenticity?

Character background:
Avatar Rani was born 85 years after the passing of Avatar Korra (and after her predecessor, the earth kingdom Avatar Yuji, another OC of mine but yet to have a design) into a quaint, middle class Fire Nation family in one of the nation's old towns. she was discovered to be the Avatar by the Fire Sages at an early age. not wanting to separate her from her family, the Sages and the White Lotus members set up a training camp specially for her in her hometown (it was since Korra's time that the Avatar's teachers would have to come to them instead of the other way around)

since the world was peaceful, Rani was leading an idyllic life until tragedy had struck; her parents died in an airship crash of suspicious circumstances when she was 12. now orphaned, she was taken in by her wealthy Uncle and Aunt and resides with them. she wasn't quite the same ever since. she promised herself as the Avatar, that she would master the Avatar State in order to meditate to the spirit world just to see her parents again.

Further facts:
- Despite Rani being a spiritual person, her spiritual block manifested after the demise of her parents. Since then, she wasn’t able to contact her past lives. (she actually contacted her past lives at an unusually early age before the incident)

- Rani favors waterbending more than firebending, her natural element, since she feels that waterbending makes her feel more like herself.

- Rani had a dragon animal guide whom she named Haku. It was a gift to her by the Sages after she completed her mastery of the 4 elements.

- She fears her powers and capabilities as the Avatar, even more so when a war is threatening to happen for her sake. Her fear and uncertainty about herself causes people to doubt her as the Avatar

- She upholds strict traditional values and teachings, and dresses in outdated fashion to exemplify this

- Later in her life, she adopts an orphaned street boy she picked up from the ruins of a village after a skirmish. She made him her son, and named him Ryu. He aspires to be a Fire Sage.

- A new study emerged decades after Avatar Korra; Avatarology (yeah, can you come up with a better name??). Scholars and scientists taking up Avatarology study the lives of the past avatars and even try to explain the Avatar’s origins from a scientific point of view. They also try to find an explanation on how the Avatar gets to bend 4 elements, and how the science of bending works. The biggest difficulty of a student of Avatarology is to acquire an actual Avatar to help with research.

- By her time, scientists already tamper with the natural order of things for the sake of science and research, thus performing experiments that are morally unacceptable
