People Bio

Picture of them:

Full Name: Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan

Age: 19

Status: Alive 

There appears to be blood besides the alive part. Perhaps he wrote it after getting hurt.

Personal entry: From what I've gathered from my time around him, Neteyam cares deeply about his family, so much so that he was willing to set aside his own feelings to support Kiri in pursuing her love interest in me. I… from how Neteyam acts around me, I'm about 75% sure he's interested in me romantically. While I'm unsure when these feelings of his first started, I… can't reciprocate those feelings mainly because I don't swing that way. However, this dream of his death that has been haunting me for a long time, ever since we first traveled to the Metkayina. He's… my best friend, one I just… couldn't let die. He deserves so much better than someone like me; he deserves someone who can love him back.

Aftermath: When Neteyam heard the news that Y/n had died from an Rda soldier, he just couldn't believe it. So much so that the following night, he and Kiri snuck out from the Metkayina and searched the wreckage for Y/n's body. But after searching for a few hours and multiple days, there was no sign of... anything, no body, nothing.

Full Name: (Tuk) Tuktirey te Suli Neytiri'ite

Age: 12

Status: Alive

Personal Entry: The youngest and cutest Na'vi I have ever met. In the small amount of time I have spent with her, she has shown herself somewhat clingy with me for an unknown reason. Perhaps an effect of the cave incident from so long ago. Besides that, I have also given her a nickname, spinbraker, for all the time that the little gremlin had crushed my spin… I'll definitely miss her personality.

Aftermath: While Y/n told her not to blame herself for what happened, she couldn't help but do it. If only she hadn't made that thud noise while moving inside the cabinet, then Y/n wouldn't have let his guard down; maybe he would still be alive. Since his death, Tuk has been sneaking out at night to go to Y/n's old muris and curl up in his bed like she used to when they still lived in the Omaticaya. Even though Y/n had given her his final request, Tuk couldn't give Kiri the photo album since it contained photos of Kiri, the family, and him as well. Having witnessed the fight with her eyes, Tuk became quieter around Spider, afraid of him. She tries her best to avoid him as much as she can.

Picture of them: 

Name: Lo'ak te Suli Tsyeyk'itan

Age: 16

Status: Alive

Personal entry: I didn't spend much time with Lo'ak. He has a good heart but is too reckless… that's about it.

Aftermath*: he wasn't exactly sad about y/n's death since he hardly knew him.

Picture of them: 

Full Name: Neytiri te Tskaha Mo'at'ite

Age: 37

Status: Alive

Personal entry: Neytiri is both a fierce and attractive Na'vi warrior, regardless of the situation she faces. Although she initially disliked me, probably because of my association with the RDA, it was thanks to Jake that I found an opportunity in their relationship for me to step in between them. Do I regret doing such a thing... No, and I never will.

Aftermath*: Neytiri would venture away from the Metkayina a few days after the battle with the Seadragon to grieve the loss of y/n, in her own way. This was especially true since it was only the day before that she had finally stopped suppressing her true emotions and had taken y/n as her mate, only for him to die the next day. She wouldn't be seen for a week until she appeared at the funeral of those lost, including y/n.

Picture of them: 

Name: Jake Sully

Age: 38

Status: Alive

Personal entry: It was thanks to him that I was given the chance to meet everyone, and I can understand why he would sometimes be such an asshole—it's all for the safety of his family. However, his timing might have been too late, as he only pushed his family away. 

Aftermath*: A few days after the Seadragon battle, Spider revealed the real reason Y/n was in that forest that day and how he had used his own kids to gain Jake's trust, to both Jake and Neytiri. Although Jake was angry at the news, to his surprise, Neytiri tried to calm him down and downplay the situation, which only ended up escalating the situation and further straining their relationship. 

Picture of them: 

Name: Kiri te Suli Kìreysì'ite

Age 18 (born a couple of months after Neteyam )

Status: Alive

Personal entry: Kiri… she was the first Na'vi I ever met when I first got to Pandora. First thoughts? She's probably the craziest sexual Na'vi I've ever seen, like her libido has to be five times higher than normal. But ever since I've been here, one thought keeps running through my head: I don't really believe she's into me for me. The Na'vi remind me a lot of cats. And like cats, when they hit around 18, it feels like they go into some kind of "heat," where they can imprint on someone. I think when I saved her that first time, running back to my camp, she imprinted on me just because of how close we were. That's why it feels to her like love… Kiri… I know you're reading this. I'm sorry you imprinted on me, and sorry for the fake "love" you're stuck feeling.

Tears started falling onto the page.

???: No, Y/n, "sniffling." I do love you, it was not fake…

Afterward*: Kiri was devastated by Y/n's death, to the point where she stopped eating for several days until Neteyam managed to persuade her to start again. Spider would try to approach her, but she'd give him the cold shoulder and a stare that sent shivers down Spider's spine. Kiri would sadly fall into deep sorrow, which from Y/n's stories caused her to attempt ******, hoping to be together again in the great mother after Y/n's funeral. She would later find Y/n's handbook in her herb bag, which contained everything, notes that Y/n had left behind for her, telling her everything he did, including the fight that happened with Spider when he went back to Omaticaya. To the vision he had. While only leaving out that he instigated the fights.

(get it?)

Name: Y/n L/n

Age: 19

Status: Dead. Dead was cross off and worded writen besides said Unknown…

???: he is not dead! he has to be out there somewhere .

Personal entry: none for me. While not perfect, he was only human with his own selfless needs and goals…But at least he knew when he needed to be serious, depending on the situation…I'll love you so much… Y/n. Please come back to me…. I need you.

Teardrops fell onto the page beside the last word in the personal entry as a hand holding a pen in the handbook lifted from the paper.

Revealing that the y/n entry into the book was not written by him but instead by a Na'vi woman.

As the person gripping the pen squeezed tighter, they stood up and threw the pen into the sea in a fit of anger.

They watched as the ocean engulfed the pen into the darkness below.

Their teeth clenched as their eyes fell to the book below. A sudden gust of wind swept past the open book, flipping y/n's page closed. In a panic, they dropped to their knees and scrambled to reopen the book, flipping back to y/n's page before their breathing finally calmed down as they looked at the picture.

Their hand trembled as they reached out to touch y/n's photo, as if it were a precious treasure. Their fingertips grazed the surface of the picture as more tears fell from the person's face and onto the image.

The person quietly sniffled, clutching the handbook tightly to their chest and holding it close to their heart.

???: W-why y/n! "sniffling" Y-you promised we would always be together!....why did you leave me… 

She let out a cry while keeping her eyes closed, focusing only on hugging the book in her hands, which was one of the two things she had left of him. Suddenly, someone's hand landed on her shoulder, causing her to open her eyes and glance toward the figure over her shoulder.

She had hoped to see Y/n standing there as usual, but instead found her brother Neteyam in his place.

He slowly sat down beside her, watching the ocean. His gaze would occasionally drift over to her, but he was unsure how to approach his sisters, especially after what happened after y/n's funeral.

Neteyam: How…are you holding up?

Kiri: I miss him so much, Neteyam. I just... I just don't know what I'll do without him.

Neteyam: It's okay to grieve. Take that time for him and yourself.

Kiri looked at Neteyam, who had a gentle, warm, and reassuring smile on his face.

Kiri: What about you… Why aren't you grieving for him?

Neteyam: I…I am….

Kiri: is…Is that why you're leaving?

Neteyam laughed softly as his stare rested on the ocean horizon.

Neteyam: In my own way, I suppose I am. You might say I'm in a state of denial. I…I can't accept the fact that he gone.; it just doesn't make sense. We haven't found his body anywhere… What about you?

Her gaze shifted to the sand. One hand rested over her heart as the other picked up a handful of sand, letting it fall slowly through her fingers.

Kiri: I-I don't want to believe he is dead, I… I… "start crying again" I just want him by myself again, but…I can't feel him, Neteyam…. There's nothing for me to feel.

Neteyam: Hmm

Neteyam: What does your heart say?

She shut her eyes and took a deep breath.

Kiri: It's... It tells me that he's out there… somewhere. He has to be.

Neteyam closed his eyes while deep in thought. When his eyes opened again, he had a slight smile on his face as he patted her on the back.

Kiri hugged her knees to her chest as her tail swung around and brushed against her legs.

Neteyam gently stroked her head, reminding her of y/n, which caused a few tears to well up in her eyes.

Neteyam: you should really sleep Kiri stay up isn't good for you.

*Image here*

Kiri: Are you sure about this?

Neteyam:… Of course, staying here isn't doing me any good, especially since father and I have been getting into heated fights.

Neteyam stood, brushing sand from his legs. While Kiri did the same, and together they walked silently along the beach until Neteyam finally broke the silence.

Neteyam: How's your neck?

She raised her hand to the spot where her choker with the y/n initials had once rested on her neck.

Her fingers gently touched a cut where the knife had sliced through the choker. She felt a slight pain from the light pressure she applied.

Kiri: It's… healing.

Neteyam nodded before Kiri asked a question of her own.

Kiri: Are you sure you don't want to tell anyone else?

Neteyam: If I told Mother and Father, they would have tried to stop me… Just promise me that you will keep an eye out for Lo'ak. You and I both know how reckless he can be at times.

Kiri: heh…. Yeah.

The farther they walked along the shoreline, the more distance they created between themselves and the Metkayina clan.

Eventually, the loud sound of an animal's screech and roar could be heard from a distance, and it only grew louder as they approached a spot where they finally saw the creature making the noise.

As it was revealed to be Neteyam's ikran. Along the saddle were bags of Neteyam's stuff.

Neteyam drew closer to the creature, gently rubbing its forehead before looking back at Kiri with a more serious face.

Neteyam: But besides that, Kiri… promise me you won't try pulling that stunt again

Kiri: I just thought… I could be with him if I did that.

Neteyam: Yeah, well, If he was out there how do you think he would feel knowing you tried doing that to be with him?

 

Kiri: "smirk." He would be angry with me if he knew I tried that. Especially knowing his past and everything I told him, I would be a hypocrite to my own words.

 

Neteyam: That's right, so Kiri… please don't do that again… I might not be around next time to stop you.

Kiri: I…I won't 

Neteyam: "Sigh." Good

He looks over in the direction of the sun before turning back to Kiri.

Neteyam: I think… It's time for me to head out.

Neteyam began walking toward his ikran but stopped as Kiri called out to him, causing him to turn around just in time for Kiri to hug him closely.

Kiri: Neteyam.

Neteyam: Hm?

Kiri: If... if he's out there, please... bring him back to me.

He looked at Kiri with a surprised expression, but a comforting smile quickly replaced that.

Neteyam: Of course, I will.

Kiri: Keep me updated on how you're doing, alright?

Neteyam: Yeah, don't worry. While it might be difficult for you to send me messages since I'll be moving throughout the land, I'll at least know where you are, so it should be easy.

She finally released her grip on him, and they both took a step back, looking at each other and sharing a smile. Neteyam raised his hand to his face and made the gesture.

Neteyam: I see you.

Kiri: I see you as well.

He softly smiled as he turned away and climbed onto his ikran.

Once more, his eyes locked with his sister's before his ikran ascended into the sky, flying towards the sea dragon and soon much farther beyond.

*time unknown*

*location unknown*

One of the Na'vi was venturing into the murky waters of Waterway Valley. Lately, the RDA has been stepping up their efforts to increase their presence throughout the western frontier.

Because of that, this has put considerable strain on the resistance, given their already limited resources and Jake Sully's poor communication regarding what to do since he stopped messaging back to them

The Na'vi took a moment to sigh, his eyes narrowing as he spotted a newly established rda outpost in the distance.

He raised his hand to his earpiece to turn it on. There was a brief silence before a loud, cheerful voice came through.

???: So'lek! What do I owe this pleasure of a call?

So'lek: I spotted a new RDA outpost across the Waterway Valley River.

???: Hah, not wasting time. Are you?... Uh, so another one was set even closer to us.

So'lek: Yes, this makes it seven now.

???: "sigh" Alright, understood.

So'lek:... How gose the planning for that old tap location that Alma has been talking about?

???: Oh! It's been going well. We're planning to have the operation to check the place out in about three days from now.

So'lek: Good, that is good news, especially if those Sarentu children could potentially still be alive.

"Chirp, Chirp"

So'lek was startled by the unexpected loud chirping. He narrowed his eyes while searching for the noise's source.

So'lek: I'll get back to you, Priya.

Priya: Oh, okay!

As his eyes searched his surroundings, he spotted something unusual: a few feet away, a blue figure was facing down into the muddy ground.

He quickly moved closer to the figure and realized it appeared to match that of a Na'vi. Its lower half was submerged deeper into the water, linking it to the sea.

So'lek briefly surveyed the ocean before returning his attention to the Na'vi, whom he flipped over, which left him shocked by their appearance for multiple reasons.

Besides the bullet wound near his lower abdomen and the horizontal slice across his abdomen, what shocked him more was the birthmark near his eye, which was the sarentu symbol. 

But it didn't make sense, since the sarentu were supposed to be dead. Just as they were about to take a chance at an old tap fuctaily, one appeared before him. What's more, he had five fingers, just like the avatar's drivers.

He quickly activated his earpiece once more.

Priya: Oh, So'lek calling me back so soon?

So'lek: Priya, send Anqa to my exact location right now!

Priya: Whoa, what's going on, So'lek?

So'lek: There's no time. Priya, just do it and have the medical staff ready. Also, have Alma nearby, I'm sure she'd want to take a look at this. I found a Sarentu.

So'lek's eyes looked at the figure below, observing how horrible his condition was, as he seemed barely conscious before finally hearing a word escape his lips.

Y/n: Kiri...

The end of the Avatar: Way of Water arc.

Look forward to the frontiers of the Pandora arc.

See you all later down the road, and hopefully you stay around. I'll post my author notes later.

Word count: 2834

Sike you really thought that would be the end? Hell no there still more na'vi to bang out there for y/n.
