Personality:
At first Asami might seem like a product of her upbringing and nothing else- a rich girl who has little interest in pursuits outside of her lifestyle, but it takes a certain kind of resourcefulness to keep up with the likes of Team Avatar. Asami is a clever, friendly young woman who tries not to let her social status define her. She doesn't hesitate in striking up a friendship, and later romance with Mako, someone well below her station, and later opens her home to him and his brother when their home is destroyed. She's friendly and doesn't hold back- despite Korra rebuffing her several times, she expressed a desire for the two of them to be good friends. She even appealed to Korra's interest in more exciting activities, taking the other girl out for a spin on Future Industries' race track. Although this was something Asami loved to do before, she recognized that Korra would find it more exciting than doing typically feminine things. That said, Asami doesn't shy away from her feminine side and in fact embraces it, rarely seen without makeup and perfectly styled hair.
She keeps her friends close to her and can be forgiving- although hurt by what happened between all three of them, Asami still considered Korra and Mako to be her friends, even admitting she doesn't hold anything against Korra. She tries her best to be there for the people she loves, even if she doesn't always know what to say. When Korra struggles in the wake of the events of Harmonic Convergence Asami offers what support she can, promising that they'll figure out a solution to the Avatar's problems. After Korra nearly died as a result of heavy poisoning and was left heavily mentally and physically wounded, Asami was there for her, even offering to return to the South Pole for Korra's recovery.
Although Asami initially struggled as CEO of Future Industries, she's really come into her role in the past three years. Not only has she saved the company's reputation, but she's also helped to start the process of modernizing Republic City by updating its rail system and connecting it to the Earth Kingdom. She's also built several roads that allow easier driving around the spirit vines without damaging them- a move that's considerate to both human and spirit, and in a way reflects Asami's cleverness and caring nature. She has a natural talent from designing and mechanics, taking her father's biplane design and reworking it for more friendly and commercial uses. Her experiences from working so closely with her father has left her with a keen eye for engineering, and she's able to easily recognize flaws and shoddy workmanship and operate a variety of vehicles with ease. She was able to repair a downed airship while stranded in the desert, and later construct a working sand sailor from the scrap when it was destroyed. Within two weeks she was able to come up with, design and help construct hummingbird mecha suits, which were vital in helping to take down Kuvira's Colossus.
As nice of a girl she can be, Asami still comes from a position of wealth and privilege, a life with minimal conflict, and from time to time it does impact her behavior, particularly in how she deals with issues she has with other people. Asami may not be greedy, but she's familiar with, basically, getting what she wants. Although her anger and feelings are usually valid, she can be particularly vicious in a personal conflict; when Korra questioned her decision to reestablish contact with her estranged father, Asami quickly shot back that, "you don't get to disappear for three years and then act like you know what's best for me". While she was hurting and looking for support from her friends, she was quick to deal a harsh blow to Korra's feelings- the Avatar had spent those three years physically and mentally recovering from a near death experience. In addition, she can be prone to passive-aggressive behavior- after she confronted Mako over his kiss with Korra, Asami simply told him to figure things out on his own when he tried to talk to her about what had happened before cutting off nearly all contact with him, save for an occasional snide comment and a few regretful stares. After the two shared a kiss later with the possibility of a romantic reunion, Asami could only disappointingly glare when Mako and Korra seemingly got back together instead. This all suggests that while Asami initially does not beat around the bush, she struggles with following through and working to find a resolution, and may instead just keep her feelings to herself. This is further reflected in how rarely she spoke of her father during his time in prison and how she refused to confront Mako when he was imprisoned, even if at that point she had been lead to believe that he was responsible for trying to bring down Future Industries.
Asami also has an innate desire for peace and security, and in the past this has lead to her being too naive and trusting- she's honest and expects honesty in return. When Future Industries began to fail due to Hiroshi's allegiance with the Equalists Asami aligned with Varrick, the head of another company, placing trust and control of Future Industries' assets in his hands, hoping he could help her get things back on track. In the end Varrick went behind her back and stole her merchandise, nearly taking away the last piece of her family she had left and placing one of her friends in prison. She's also shown that she's willing to go to extremes to hold onto peace and stability if the situation is bad enough- she struck a deal with one of Republic City's most notorious gangs and had planned on contributing to a civil war to keep her company afloat.

So I had a question for everyone. Well, two questions.
[Asami's on the feed, dark hair pulled back in a ponytail, her focus on something off screen.]
Back home, we would use firebenders who could bend lightning to power certain parts of the city. Water and earthbending were at one point widely utilized for transportation, too, but you don't see much of that these days.
[She seems to be working on something- a screwdriver appears, thoughtfully pressed to her lips before she resumes working, a look of concentration on her face.]
I was wondering if anyone's seen pokemon use their powers for alternative purposes- besides flying and riding them in the water- maybe electric types are used at power plants? Or constructing buildings? I just think that would be so interesting to see and learn about, how pokemon helped shape and modernize this world.
[With one last twist of her wrist muted, tinny music begins to play. Asami holds up what she had been working on- a music box in the shape of a Chansey, slightly dinged with faded coloring. The tune becomes distorted and faded and Asami closes the figurine with a sigh.]
And my second question: why are the ledges here impossible to climb?
