	Huang Ling is the 82nd '''[[Earth Monarch]]''' of the [[Earth Kingdom]]. ~~They are a Earthbender and Metalbender from the town of Bei Da Feng~~, ~~belonging to the~~ [[~~House of Ling~~]]. Their reign ~~is associated with~~ strict ~~ideological governance, spiritual discipline~~, and ~~attempts~~ to ~~enforce long-term stability across~~ the ~~Earth Kingdom~~.		'''Huang Ling''' (黄灵; Huáng Líng) is the 82nd '''[[Earth Monarch]]''' of the [[Earth Kingdom]]. Born in 1 Yínyuè 143 AG, they succeeded '''81st Earth Queen [[Songwen Beifong]]''' and are known for their devotion to tradition and preservation of order. Their reign, known as the '''Yǒnghéng Era''', introduced major law reforms, strict decrees to protect Earth Kingdom interests, and efforts to maintain unity among the four nations.

	== Early Life ==		=== Early Life ===
	Huang Ling was born in 143 AG ~~into~~ the [[~~House~~ of ~~Ling~~]] ~~in Bei Da Feng~~. ~~They are the child of~~ Heimlock Ling and Xiulan Hou-Ting. ~~Their father was frequently absent due~~ to ~~military and exploratory obligations, leaving much of their upbringing under~~ the ~~strict influence~~ of their ~~mother~~.		Huang Ling was born in 143 AG in the isolated town of [[Bei Da Feng]] of the [[Chunying]] province alongside their twin sibling, Haejin Ling. Their childhood was shaped by their parents' constant absence, with their father, Heimlock Ling, often away on adventures and their mother, Xiulan Hou-Ting, placing heavy expectations on them to restore their family's reputation. After discovering Huang's talent for metalbending at a young age, Xiuan viewed it as a sign they were destined to correct the mistakes of their ancestors.

	~~Xiulan Hou-Ting placed heavy expectations on~~ Huang and their ~~twin sister Haejin Ling~~, ~~believing they were destined to restore honour~~ to their ~~family name~~. ~~Huang’s early life was shaped by emotional pressure~~, ~~isolation~~, and ~~structured discipline~~, ~~particularly after the discovery of their metalbending ability at a young age~~.		At the age of eight, Huang lost their mother, and their father began spending more time with their twins. Though, his desire for exploration did not end and often kept him away from home. In the period of absence, Huang became increasingly devoted to the mission placed upon them by their mother and focused on protecting the Earth Kingdom and preserving its traditions. As they grew older, their relationship with their father became more complicated after he returned from an expedition with a new wife, Lucinda, and the two children, Sergio and Sakari.

	~~Following~~ their ~~mother’s death when~~ they ~~were eight~~, Huang ~~experienced a shift in family structure. Their father assumed a more present but inconsistent role in~~ their ~~upbringing~~.		At the age of 18, Huang left Bei Da Feng to join their father on the world stage. Their experiences beyond the Earth Kingdom challenged many of their beliefs, forcing them to question the path they had been raised to follow. However, these experiences also helped Huang grow beyond the burdens of their childhood and develop their own vision for the future of the Earth Kingdom.

	== ~~Adolescence and Education~~ ==		=== Rise to Power ===
	~~Huang spent most of their adolescence in~~ Bei Da Feng ~~alongside~~ their ~~twin sister Haejin Ling~~. During ~~this period~~, they developed a close friendship with Jeannie Bei’ling, a descendant of one of the town’s founding families. These relationships contrasted with Huang’s generally withdrawn and introspective personality.		After leaving Bei Da Feng, Huang Ling followed their father onto the world stage to begin studying spirituality. Their dedication to preserving Earth Kingdom tradition and spirituality eventually led them to become an Earth Sage. During the reign of Earth Queen Songwen Beifong, Huang entered their Council as Domestic Minister.

	~~The arrival of Heimlock Ling’s new wife~~, ~~Lucinda~~, and ~~her children Sergio Ling~~ and ~~Sakari Ling further altered household dynamics. Huang maintained distance from Lucinda but maintained a sense of responsibility toward their half-siblings~~.		When Songwen Beifong later abdicated the throne, she chose Huang Ling as her successor. Having previously rejected the opportunity from '''Earth King [[Xaoten Izaki]]''' to become monarch due to doubts in themself, Huang accepted the crown and became became the 82nd Earth Monarch, ending the Beifong's '''Hézhèng Era''' and beginning the '''Yǒnghéng Era'''.

	At the ~~age~~ of 18, ~~Huang left Bei Da Feng~~ to ~~accompany their father on broader political and diplomatic engagements across the world. This period exposed them~~ to ~~cultures beyond~~ the Earth Kingdom ~~and challenged~~ their ~~previously rigid worldview~~.		== Reign ==
			Huang Ling's reign saw many reforms, especially a major rework of the Earth Kingdom law. One of their many significant changes included introducing the '''Cleansed Earth Edict''', which was put in place to prohibit remembrance of individuals considered threats to the Earth Kingdom. They also issued a Decree of Banishment against [[Clan Dāinagon]] after their involvement in attacks against the kingdom.

	~~== Rise to power ==~~		Huang Ling's strong belief in protecting the traditions and cultures of the kingdom led to the Decree of Hallowed Land, a rulnig to protect the Sand Tribe's sacred land, including to maintain the spiritual importance of the [Itgel] province and its settlements. Their reign also saw major changes in foreign relations. Huang ended the Water Tribe embargo and established the [[Treaty of Ba Sing Se 177 AG]], a military alliance between the Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe. Although the treaty was later dissolved in 178 AG, Huang did not reinstate the previous embargo in an attempt to support unity against threats facing the world.
	Huang ~~Ling’s rise to power is associated with their increasing involvement~~ in ~~Earth Kingdom governance~~ and ~~court affairs. Their reputation for discipline~~, ~~control over metalbending~~, ~~and ideological conviction led~~ to ~~their eventual ascension as~~ the ~~82nd [~~[~~Earth Monarch~~]~~], succceeding [[Songwen Beifong]] of~~ the [[~~House~~ of ~~Beifong~~]].

	~~== Personality and Ideology ==~~		Huang's early reign included surviving an attack with the help of the [[Fire Nation]] after being held captive by [[Khoa Si]], a bloodbender and former High Elder of the Water Tribe, who captured them in exchange for [[Heimlock Ling]], their father.
	Huang ~~Ling is characterised by strict self-discipline, emotional restraint, and a strong belief in order as~~ the ~~foundation~~ of ~~society. They view stability as~~ the ~~highest political value and often prioritise long-term structural control over short-term change.~~

	~~They hold strong beliefs regarding spiritual hierarchy, family duty, and resistance to uncontrolled innovation, viewing change as a potential source of instability.~~

	~~== Personal Life ==~~
	~~=== Relationships ===~~
	[[~~Haejin Ling~~]] ~~is Huang’s twin sister and closest familial bond. Despite differing personalities, the two share a strong connection shaped~~ by ~~their upbringing.~~ [[~~Heimlock Ling~~]], their father, is viewed with respect but emotional distance due to his prolonged absences and divided loyalties between family and duty. [[Sergio Ling]] and [[Sakari Ling]] are their half-siblings. Huang expresses criticism of Sergio’s behaviour but acknowledges Sakari’s growing competence and ~~reliability.~~

	~~[[Ren Rei]], a~~ former ~~[[Air~~ Elder~~\|Air Nomad Elder]]~~, ~~is described as a significant past influence whose death marked a personal turning point.~~

	[[~~Songwen Beifong~~]] ~~is considered a trusted political ally and close friend~~, ~~particularly within court and military matters. [[Guan Yao]] is a former romantic partner~~. ~~The relationship ended following political and personal tensions tied to Huang’s responsibilities as monarch.~~
