Name: Mai
Age: 16
Appearance:
Homeland: The Fire Nation
Family: Father (former governor of Omashu), mother (daughter of low-ranking nobility), baby brother (Tom-Tom)
Bending: none
Weapons of Choice: kunai, senbon, other various sharp-and-pointy-things that can be thrown.
Skills: throwing things, deadpan humor, snark, sarcasm, lacking enthusiasm, a poker face, ninja-like skills.
History: Mai’s parents married largely for the political and financial benefit of both of their families, a fact that they never bothered to keep secret from their daughter. Mai’s mother has always been very pleased with her lot in life and urges Mai to make the best of hers. Mai was trained from the cradle to behave in all sorts of company. She was told to speak only when spoken to, sit still, and keep out of trouble. Even when she started spending time with Princess Azula, Mai was reluctant to participate in Azula’s more physical activity ideas due to her mother’s rules. Woe to the child who came home with torn clothing or mussed hair, especially if someone important was coming for dinner.
One of the few activities deemed appropriate for her that Mai actually enjoyed was embroidery. She’s never been sure if it was the needle or the actual work that appealed to her, but she finds embroidery soothing. She is proficient in enough in the more complicated stitches that she can do her work and carry on an intelligent conversation at the same time, a fact of which her mother is extremely proud.
Mai’s one small rebellion against her mother’s regulations was her weapons-training, but complaints against that ended when Princess Azula personally approved.
Mai joined the Fire Nation princess and Ty Lee on the mission to capture the Avatar following Zuko’s failure to do so. She had a crush on Zuko when they were younger and reunited with him after the fall of Ba Sing Se. They began a relationship shortly before their return to the Fire Nation. After Zuko broke up with her to join the Avatar, Mai didn’t see him again until her uncle informed her that he had been discovered at the Boiling Rock. At Azula’s insistence she went to the prison (along with the princess and Ty Lee). Mai risked her life to help Zuko escape. She and Ty Lee were temporarily incarcerated.
Following Ozai’s defeat, Mai was released from the Boiling Rock and returned to the Fire Nation Capital, where she has since resumed her relationship with Zuko. Though she once took advantage of her position as the Prince’s Girlfriend, she prefers not to make a big deal of the fact that she is dating the Fire Lord. She has moved out of her parents’ home and into the palace, where she serves as advisor, bodyguard, and anything else Zuko needs her to be.
Mai is satisfied with her place in life for once. She doesn’t expect it to last.
