Shina is short and petite, but sturdy due to her Earth Bending blood. She has broad shoulders and larger hips, but looks as if she could be easily blown over by a large gust of wind. She's not intimidating at all, until she gets into battle.
Shina is a quiet girl who doesn't like to make waves. She's more of a follower than a leader, often accepting things as they are without question. Considered shy, she often doesn't speak out of turn, and doesn't voice her opinion often. Of course, this changes once you get to know her. Shina is a very kind individual who doesn't really like hurting people or animals. She's a skilled Earth Bender, however, and will use her skill to help those who need it, or to help herself. She's a little reserved, and prefers to keep things to herself, and not reveal much information about her own personal life. Shina has a bad temper if provoked enough, but this is not very often. She's quite sensitive, but avoids showing it as much as possible.
+ Kind, Honest, Loyal to a fault, Determined, Brave, Intelligent.

Shina is an Earth Bender, and she is also able to bend sand. She's learning to track people using the Earth and stone, able to listen and hear them, and sometimes feel them. She's exceptionally skilled in Earth Bending, having two bending parents and learning from them, as well as practicing every day for years. However, she keeps her bending ability to herself most of the time, since she doesn't want any trouble.
Shina was born to two Earth Bending parents in a small Earth Kingdom village. She was the first born, and learned Earth Bending from both parents, as well as some healing techniques from her mother, who was the town doctor. Shina grew up happy and loved, always seemingly laughing or smiling. Both parents had never expected to have another child, until Lilah came around. When she was born, Shina was jealous at first, until her parents explained that Lilah needed to be looked after- and who better than the "greatest big sister ever"?
So, Shina began to look after Lilah as if her life depended on it. She took her everywhere and taught her things, often falling asleep next to her crib at night. When Shina was eight, and Lilah five, the Fire Nation made their way into the small village where they lived and burned it down. Shina was woken by her father, who told her to grab Lilah and run, to escape the burning village.
He assured her that he and her mother would follow quickly, but once Shina was outside, hidden in the woods with Lilah, it quickly became apparent that their parents were not going to meet them. After sleeping in the trees for the night, Shina inspected the village in the morning, finding it all burnt to a crisp. Her parents were dead, as was everyone else in the village.
With only a necklace to remember her parents by, Shina took care of Lilah, taking odd jobs here and there, sleeping in unused barns and sheds, as they grew. Shina would often give Lilah the best of what they found, so Shina usually wore the old ratty clothes and shoes, and would sacrifice her meals for Lilah.
Lilah grew up idolizing her sister, but never understood why she was such a follower, when she was so strong and intelligent.
