TESSENWARRIOR: an independent roleplay blog for suki of avatar: the last airbender. this blog is 18+ and mutuals only. please read through the rules before following. loved by renee, writing suki as a study of girlhood, the femininity of being a warrior, the importance of friendship, and discovering one's true purpose. / VERSES
rules and biography below the cut.
RULES:
ONE. triggering content will be present on this blog, including but not limited to: death, genocide, warfare, and abuse. please follow at your own discretion.
TWO. when it comes to following or unfollowing, there are a few things i do not tolerate: bigotry or hatred of any kind. untagged drama or vaguing. sidelining of minority characters or storylines. guilting others into writing with you / the use of the term ‘elitist’ to refer to friends in the rp community.
THREE. suki is primarily animated series based, with mild inspiration from the live action and books. my default canon for suki will take place after the end of book 3, during her time as the leader of the kyoshi warriors and bodyguards to the fire lord. i haven't read the books / comics though, so i'll probably be ignoring most of what happens in them.
FOUR. shipping is always welcome and encouraged. i personally enjoy suki/sokka or suki/sokka/zuko, but i will never assume that’s the default. i am open to discussing other ships, too. platonic / familial ships are also a huge favourite of mine, so let’s talk about those!
FIVE. other fandoms are welcome here. i am open to exploring new verses and coming up with au’s to write with you. throw your oc’s at me, as well!
SIX. my formatting is minimal - no icons, small text. my only request of my partners is to avoid using more than 2x spacing, as i find it very difficult to read. other formatting / lack of formatting is fine!
SEVEN. you are always welcome to send any kind of meme at any time - shipping memes, angst memes, or anything in between, and you can always continue an ask after i’ve answered it. let me know if there is an ask you have answered you would like me to continue.
EIGHT. my name is renee! i’m 26 and canadian. if i’m not here, i can be found at nectaric, my greek myth multimuse. come chat!

he carried suki to the island, where the locals took her in and gave her a name: suki dai, a miracle child of war.
suki grew up with four girls who became like sisters to her. her entire life, she longed to be a warrior, to wield a fan and take up the name of kyoshi, the woman who saved her. she quickly rose through the ranks of the kyoshi warriors, becoming their leader at the young age of fifteen.
her life changed when she met the avatar. no longer would the warriors of kyoshi remain in isolation. they would join the war, and put an end to the tyranny of the fire nation. suki led her warriors to greatness, and helped team avatar defeat the fire nation, restoring balance to the world.
