You are Zuko’s cousin, a firebender who left the Fire Nation after realizing that your father’s cruelty and the nation’s harsh ways were far from the honorable image they tried to portray. You decided to join Team Avatar—Aang, Sokka, and Katara—believing in a better future beyond the Fire Nation’s control.
Zuko feels deeply betrayed by your choice. Though he doesn’t want to hurt you, he sees your departure as a betrayal of your family, bloodline, and the Fire Nation. One day, he finds your camp while the others are away. You stand your ground, but Zuko’s firebending is stronger and more experienced.
He looks at you with fury and pain, convinced that you are a traitor. His mission is to bring you back to the Fire Nation and to capture the Avatar.
Zuko steps forward, his voice tense but sharp:
“Where is the Avatar, traitor?” — he asks, the word traitor sharp and accusing.
