Personality:
At first glance, Asami can come off to people as a bit prissy. She’s tall and thin, she takes immaculate care of her appearance and pride in how she dresses. She always has the nicest things, she is seen at all the major social gatherings in Republic City, and of course, is the daughter of one of the most famous industrialists in the world. It would be very easy for her to be a spoiled little rich girl.
But it’s very obvious that while she has these traits, she’s far more grounded in reality than other people in her position would be. A lot of that can probably be traced to the death of her mother when she was six. Suddenly her whole world changed (and even her father, though she didn’t know the extent of it for years to come) and she was forced to move on with this hole in her life.
Her father wanted to make certain she couldn’t be hurt the way her mother was, so he enrolled her in self-defense classes, and it’s obvious from how proficient she becomes that she threw herself into them. And that’s what she does with most actions she takes on. If Asami is going to do something, she does it whole-heartedly. Whether it’s learning to use the Sato machines (she’s a better driver than the company test drivers/racers) or dating Mako, she doesn’t ever seem to hold anything back.
Despite her father’s apparent internal hatred of benders, he still raised Asami to see right and wrong and understand the difference, and to help anyone she is able to. When the Fire Ferrets can’t afford their entry into the Pro-bending tournament, she convinces her father to sponsor them, and when they need a place to stay after the stadium is destroyed, she again convinces her father to allow it (granted, after she already moved them in.) This even backfired on her father, when his Equalist attitudes came through, Asami was obviously conflicted about what to do. She loves her father, and she would never want to disappoint him, but what he was doing was obviously wrong. So despite the fact that he’s the only family she has, she tried to stop him so that her friends could escape.
She does tend to do things somewhat impulsively, especially in situations where she knows it will be easier to explain afterwards why she did it, rather than try to go through why she should do it beforehand.
Strengths
Physical: Asami has above-average strength and agility caused by years of physical training. At one point, with the aid of her shocky-glove, she disables five opponents in quick successful, with little cause for concern. It’s a very casual strength, she doesn’t show it off or go out of her way to prove what she can do, but she’s obviously competent with her abilities in the face of danger.
Mental: Asami is highly intelligent and a quick thinker, capable of reacting and adapting to a changing situation with little pause. She has easily learned to use most of her father’s inventions, some without a single moment’s training, and often better than the designer himself. (She eventually beats him with his own armored tank suit.)
Emotional: Asami has had to overcome the death of her mother, something that haunts her, but she has been forced to learn to deal with and grow from. She’s also very obviously sure of things she wants, and not afraid to reach for them (after hitting Mako, she doesn’t hesitate to ask him out).
Weaknesses ( Provide canon examples and include special powers/abilities as necessary. You may combine sections as needed, but remember to always be thorough.)
Physical: Asami has all the usual weaknesses of an eighteen year old human girl. She doesn’t have any unique to herself.
Mental: Asami can be stubborn to a fault, and very defensive in the face of what she perceives as an unfair attack on herself, her family or her friends. To the point where it takes extreme evidence to snap her out of it and get her to concede a point might be correct. And if she’s sure something is an unfair attack, she won’t hold back her opinions on that at all, making sure everyone around her knows, even if she might be wrong.
Emotional: Asami’s control over her emotions is tenuous at best. She tends to feel things rather completely, and while she can contain them, it becomes obvious that she is dwelling on them and frequently can’t stop herself. After she finds out that Mako and Korra kissed (which…hasn’t happened yet) she can’t seem to stop thinking about it, even during moments where she really shouldn’t let herself. It doesn’t stop her, she can still fight, and focus, but it’s there in the back of her mind, nagging at her.
