Chapter Text
A/N: sorry it's long but it's important!!
Idia (eye-die-uh), a human born to two avatar drivers a few months before Spider was born, has lived on Pandora her whole life. Her mother died on the frontlines of battle– after massacring many young warriors– at the hands of Tsu’tey. The battle took her father, too.
Since she was born Na’vi, sending her back to Earth was not an option even if she was old enough. The remaining humans on Pandora opted for her to be adopted by Jake and Neytiri, but Neytiri refused. She remembered Idia's mother killing her people too vividly. Besides, who was to say she wouldn’t turn out loyal to her real parents? Spider didn’t accept her either growing up because he was too jealous of her having been born a Na’vi like he would have liked for himself. Partially because Spider disliked her and partially because of Neytiri’s views, the Sully kids wouldn’t hang out with her either.
She was raised on synthesized formula because none of the Na’vi would spare any breast milk for a demon. By the time she hit her teens, she was practically a human. She never had anyone to show her the ropes of Tsaheylu, so she never bonded with any animals and was not allowed at the tree of souls. Norm taught her everything he knew about the culture and the language, but he wasn’t accepted by them either and thus wasn’t much help. Out of pity and relation, Jake tried to bring her on an Ikran ride once but Neytiri’s wrath ensured he wouldn’t try it again.
Long story short, she was raised without anyone her age around and she turned out kind of weird and shy because of it. This did mean, however, that she had a lot of time to study botany with Norm and other things in the lab and therefore had an advanced understanding of the flora and fauna of Pandora, as well as basic combat training. (This is a surprise tool that will help us later!)
