The Kyoshi Warriors are an order of female warriors named

after Avatar Kyoshi, who founded them to protect her homeland, Kyoshi Island.
[3]
Each village of the island had its own band of warriors.[4] With their unique and
individual fighting style, these elite fighters ensured the safety and isolationism
of their homeland during the Hundred Year War. However, when
Avatar Aang visited the island in late 99 AG, he inspired a group of warriors,
led by Suki, to travel to the Earth Kingdom and help the defenseless there.
[5]
Even though most members of this group were imprisoned by the Fire
Nation after a lost fight against Princess Azula's team, Suki was later freed and
helped to end the war as part of Team Avatar. After the war, Suki's Kyoshi
Warriors continued their service, volunteering to become the Fire Lord's
bodyguards and later training Cranefish Town's police.
Though their fighting style and clothing mimic those of Avatar Kyoshi, they
seemingly did not implement any of the bending arts in their physical
movements. They are clad in ornate, armored, green kimonos, metal
headdresses, and white-faced makeup designed to intimidate opponents. The
Kyoshi Warriors used metal fans as their main weapons like Avatar Kyoshi, but
also implemented katanas and retractable shields. The warriors' most prominent
fighting style was not about strength, but rather about using their opponents'
force against them. Primarily, the warriors dealt with the disorderly traders and
travelers who, after a night of carousing in the port of Kyoshi, often stumbled
into one of the villages and caused trouble.[6]
