#firelady

1. Too Apolitical and apathetic to be a Firelady

2. Completely selfish and always acting in her own best interest

3. Would only hinder Zuko’s progress as a Firelord

All in attempt to diminish her character and try and prove Katara of all people would be a better Firelady.

Now we have CANON to confirm that Mai is fearless and a staunch advocate for undoing years of fire nation propaganda. And that she’s willing to drop everything to help Zuko in a noble cause - including teaching a new generation of kids the truth about the hundred year war.

Suck. On. That.

Plus, I just think Zuko is the type who would get along with a partner with a spiritual side. It could explain how he ended up with a dragon and maybe even why they took so long to confirm who Izumi’s mother was. I don’t think Avatar Studios will ever actually make it canon, but it’s a nice idea that fits his character and the direction.

I think the powers that be are aware that no one cares about Mai and that's why they haven't confirmed anything.

Introducing some rando as firelady (which isn't even a canon position btw) has the same problem as M/Z does, in that the show would have to stick Zuko, one of the most developed characters, with someone we don't care about. What would be the point?

Yeah, I know the last few are a bit far out, but I had to include them for the sake of completeness.

Note that I did not say who the Firelord is in this scenario...

Fire Lord and Fire Lady

Okay, so, this is Zuko and Suki, grown up and ruling together.

Zuko wears the robes he uses in the comics, while Suki, well I based her clothes in Izumi and Ursa’s visuals while adding little details, like the silk stripe and the seals from the Kyoshi Warriors. It Think that if this AU comes to fruition Suki would try to follow FIre Nation tradition like letting her hair grow (made it longer here) while keeping to some things from her own homeland, Kyoshi Island.
