Xing Ying

"earth"

- Greetings, Avatar Aang! The Yu Dao chapter of the Avatar Aang Fan Club has eagerly anticipated your arrival. I am Xing Ying, the Club President.

Xing Ying was one of the founders and the only president of the Yu Dao chapter of the Official Avatar Aang Fan Club. She was taught the ways of the Air Nomads by Avatar Aang and became one of the first Air Acolytes, along with the rest of the club.

History
When Xing Ying first met Aang, he expressed his appreciation of their dedication to the Air Nomad culture, pointing out that even the clothes they wore were just like what the Air Nomads from the Western Air Temple used to wear. She assured Aang that they devoted many hours to the study of the Air Nomad philosophy. When she revealed to Aang the tattoos that the members possessed were real, however, Aang felt that his culture was being treated like a game. Although she tried to explain herself, Aang stormed out of the room before she could say anything.

Later, when the conflict between the forces of the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and Yu Dao started, she emerged from the city wearing, along with her fellow members, headbands to cover their tattoos in an attempt to apologize. Xing Ying stated that they were truly embarrassed and meant no disrespect. Though when she explained that they were there to help defend Aang, he simply told them to return home. Despite Aang's request, she and the other members stayed to help separate the forces and finish the battle. She managed to defend herself by using her staff, and attempted to create peace by telling the soldiers that they should let their grievances depart from them like leaves in the wind.

She was later taught the ways of the Air Nomads by Avatar Aang when he realized that she and the other members had the hearts of Air Nomads, and eventually became one of the first Air Acolytes.
