Ming-Hua

Ming-Hua is an armless waterbending fugitive previously held in a maximum security facility monitored by the Order of the White Lotus until she escaped with the assistance of Zaheer and Ghazan in 171 AG.

History
Following her detainment, Ming-Hua was imprisoned in a cell situated above a volcano that deprived her of any source of water or moisture. In 171 AG, she was liberated following an attack on the prison by Zaheer and Ghazan, during which she was given enough water to create tentacle-like arm projections to allow for her escape. After using pressurized water to open her cell, Ming-Hua used her projections to assist Zaheer and Ghazan in defeating the remaining sentries. Once the guards were all immobilized, Ming-Hua expressed disbelief over having been liberated before P'Li, whom she was informed was next to be freed.

Abilities
Despite her lack of arms to use in performing complex fluid motions necessary in waterbending, Ming-Hua makes use of her body to create two tentacle-like arms strong enough to support her body weight when used as makeshift cables. The ease and fluidity with which she maneuvers her body allows her to maintain projections at great lengths without jeopardizing strength or control, to the extent where she can bend the tips of her tentacle-like arms to bear appendages capable of grabbing a sentry by the neck from a distance and tossing him across the room without breaking.

Trivia
