RC Application: Junko (Revamped)

For

Name: Junko Saishi

Age: 18

Nationality: Republic City

Affinity: Normally Junko has a placid disposition, but she does have a hidden spunky side to her as well.

Skills:

~ Messenger: Junko knows her way around Republic City very well. She also keeps discovering new shortcuts, so this has made her valuable as a small-time messaging service.

~ Electrician: She is fascinated by the firebending ability to cast lightning, so she has tried to replicate that skill numerous times using various mechanics, and in the process has gained a vast knowledge of electricity in general, which she sometimes uses to help others.

~ Listening: By listening, she picks up all kinds of information. It doesn't matter if it's useless or valuable, she knows that some time, somewhere, someone will need that info later.

Personality:

_{Easy-going and quiet is most people think of Junko, and for the most part, it's true. Having been born into a middle-class family, and raised in Republic City, she's used to coming across all walks of life. She likes to just listen to the world around her and has found that in many ways it's a better asset to have than talking. When the Equalist revolution started, she heard both sides as she carried messages, and was able to form her own opinion on the situation. She believes that if bending is such a bad thing, why wasn't everyone born non-benders in the first place? Her faith in bending was further strengthened when, after being caught with a large crowd of non-benders by the police after the new Curfew law was instated, the Avatar came and freed them all, thus defending innocent non-benders.
Sometimes Junko can be a bit on the stubborn side. She doesn't like being told how to do things that she already knows how to do and she does get impatient if she's been listening to someone talk for too long, though most of the time she tries not to show it. As for her listening, while it's a great asset, it has its downsides, as Junko will at times be lost in thought and not pay attention to what's going on around. It's gotten her into trouble a few times.}

RP sample:

_{"Junko!"
"What, Mom?"
"You told Mr. Gaowa that you'd have that parcel deliver by three. It's almost two thirty, and you said you practically have to go all across Republic City to get to him..." Junko's mother started to ramble.
"I was exaggerating, Mom! I'll get it to him on time," Junko protested as she raced to the front door.
"Well, good luck, sweetie. Your father and I will keep dinner hot for you." Her mother smiled resignedly.
"Thanks Mom. Love you! Bye!" With that, Junko bolted out of the house and down the street. Yes, she had been exaggerating, but it was a long way. She would have to figure out a fast shortcut.
Just then, she heard a trolley bell at the next block to her left. Her hopes went up as she ran towards the sound. "Yes!" Junko shouted as she caught sight of the red-and-yellow vehicle. It was heading north, the exact route she needed to go. It only took a few short leaps for her to catch onto the backside of the trolley. In a moment, she was sitting on top, listening to the wind rushing in her ears. While keeping her balance, she slowly stretched out her arms. It was the closest thing to flying for Junko. She thought of Councilman Tenzin and his family, and wished she could airbend like them. "It must be fun, being able to basically fly wherever you wanted to go," she thought. Junko was so absorbed she almost did not realize that the trolley was starting to turn east. "Ho boy," she gasped, and slid to the end of the trolley while trying to find a safe way down. Evidently luck was with her. A north-bound satomobile was passing the back of the trolley. In one fluid motion, Junko dropped lightly to the top of the satomobile and splayed out to keep her balance. Junko grinned. She would have no trouble getting to Mr. Gaowa's on time.}

Additional Info:

Always she invents ingenious ways to get her messages delivered faster, so people sometimes will see her sprinting over rooftops, hanging on for dear life on the backs of trolleys, or vaulting over back alley walls. She secretly wishes she could bend and wants to be on a pro bending team. When she's older, she wants to go into mass communications and work for one of the city's top newspapers.

After Harmonic Convergence, when Avatar Korra left the portals open, Junko doesn't really know what to make of all the spirits suddenly inhabiting the human world.  She's under the mentality that spirits are more or less like wild animals, as in, leave them alone and they'll leave you alone.
