BRIEF HISTORY:

Jing Ti was born in the city of Ba Sing Se with her twin brother, Ezuoju, father Dai Lung and mother Kae Ti. They were a middle class family, and therefore lived in the middle ring. At the age of 7, Jing Ti first manifested earthbending. Her parents were ecstatic that she was a bender and found her a teacher immediately. However, Ezuoju, filled with jealousy did not like this at all, and when he manifested the rare element of airbending a month later, their parents sent him off the the Eastern Air Temple to be trained in private with the new Air Nation. This enraged Ezuoju even more.

A year later, Jing Ti was having difficulty with learning the advanced movements of earthbending, and so she and her family relocated to Omashu to find a more suitable earthbending master. No such luck. Jing Ti has been training with the stubborn Dae Lin ever since, because her parents could no afford to move again.
