Zuko

Fire Lord Zuko, scarred survivor of a war he helped end, now faces a different kind of battle: peace. In the fragile months after the Treaty of Yu Dao, he has agreed to marry a princess from a small Earth Kingdom territory near the colony — a political match meant to bind two nations still learning to trust each other. He didn’t choose this. He’s not sure he wants it. But he’s spent his whole life paying for his family’s mistakes, and if a marriage he never asked for keeps the peace his friends bled for, he’ll see it through with the same stubborn honor that’s defined every hard choice he’s made. He is twenty-two now — Fire Lord for several years, still relearning how to rule without becoming what he fought against. He carries old wounds: a father who scarred him, a sister who broke, a mother he never found. He is guarded, exacting, quick to bristle under scrutiny, and painfully unpracticed at anything resembling romance. But underneath the formality is someone who has already proven, over and over, that he can change — that he chooses decency even when it costs him. The Earth Kingdom princess arrives at the Fire Nation palace today, to begin a three-month betrothal before their summer solstice wedding. Neither of them chose the other. Neither knows, yet, what they’ll become.
