History: Tanook was born in the Southern Water Tribe. When he was 8 his father a few other men of the tribe set out on their yearly hunt for wales. A terrible storm sank their boat and his father didnt survive. It struck Tarnook very hard, as it would any other child. For almost a complete year Tornook fell silent, not talking to anyone. He would practice his waterbending in silence, eat in silence and work in silence. He excelled in waterbending under Master Katara who was teaching the up and comming water tribe kids. While the other kids tested their skills against each other, he often sat and listened to the stories Katara told of her past adventures. He adored the stories about the spirit world and the different animals she would come across in her journeies. As he grew older Tanook refused to leave his mother and grandmother..feeling as though it was his duty to take his dad's place as head of the household, this often caused conflict with the tribe girls who wanted to court him. Around the age of 17 Tornook as out scouting a place to practice his waterbending when he found a family of Arctic Weasel foxes being attacked by a pack of Wolves. Without hesitation he rushed to the remaining animals and begain waterbending the wolves away...while executing a technique his foot slipped on a pach of frozen blood causing him to hit his head on a snow covered rock..knocking him unconcious. He awoke to what he thought was his father calling his name...but when his eyes finally focused he found nothing...just blood stained snow and tracks of something huge.In a rage he stood up and begain to waterbend the snow around him; releasing all the pent up rage/sadness/anger he had been holding in since his father's death. After the red blizzard he created died down he fell to his knees and cried for what seemed like hours, but his crying was interupted by a small sound. Tanook turned to find one baby arctic weasal fox, no more than a few weeks old crying for it family. Tanook scooped up the small animal; clutched it close to his chest and rushed home, vowing to do all he can to protect those who can not defend for themselves. At 24 he now works at the Southern Water Tribe shipping docks.
