Teenage Kyoshi and Rangi - The Rise of Kyoshi

[Updated Version - I edited Rangi to look more like how I've been drawing her]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my take on teenage Kyoshi and her friend / bodyguard Rangi from the new novel "The Rise of Kyoshi."

Kyoshi has always been very tall, even when she was a child. She spent her early childhood as an orphan living in the streets of Yokoya, where she was neglected by the villagers and bullied by other children. She is initially very shy, non-confrontational, and inept at earthbending. Kyoshi is extremely strong for her age, as she is able to lift a fully grown man man by his neck without any trouble. Also, she has large feet and distinct freckles!

Rangi is a Fire Nation noble girl who is sworn and honor-bound to serve as the Avatar’s bodyguard. She is military-trained in the Fire Army Junior Corps. She is said to be intimidating and hot-headed, but also very protective of her friends.

She is said to be beautiful, with "delicate skin, porcelain doll face and jet black hair." She has a “charred rasp” voice and “dark bronze” eyes.

Rangi is the "straight man" character of Kyoshi's entourage and takes things very seriously, but she's also the unintentionally funniest character of the group. She eventually becomes Kyoshi's swon bodyguard and depite her best judgement, she's dragged into many questionable situations by Kyoshi. Rangi is definitely my favorite new character. Think of her as a more sane, less murder-y version of Azula stuck in a bodyguard AU.

Rangi's armor design is inspired by traditional Korean armor design from the Three Kingdoms period.
