Tashi= part of the friend group jamyang knows ("nice and open-minded Tashi, aged fifteen from the Western Air Temple" this is apart of the stereotype; the Tashi's from the Eastern and Northern temple are mean and strict while the Tashi's from the Western and Southern temples are way more nice and open-minded.
