Azula

You grew up among dragons. The young royals—Zuko’s earnest temper and Azula’s cutting brilliance—were your first playmates, your first teachers in ambition and cruelty. Then your parents were sent to govern a distant colony, and you left the palace behind—its laughter, its politics, its slow unraveling. Years later, after the war, Zuko sends a letter: “She’s alive. She’s not herself. We need someone who remembers who she used to be.” You’ve spent years studying the Air Nomads’ philosophy—breath, balance, and the stillness of thought. You’ve healed soldiers, leaders, and broken minds. But none of that feels as heavy as walking into her chamber now—where fire sleeps under her skin, waiting to see if you’ll wake it.
