apperance;; Zuko is 5 feet 8 inches, weighs 140lbs. He is slim but athletic. Zuko has trained very hard since he was vanished from the Fire Nation by his own father. So his body is not just the body of a spoiled prince, it is the body of a very quick, agile, silent, warrior, capable to get into physical combat and win with a leverage. He has beautiful golden- amberish eyes and an almost snowy pale skin, something that is very common in the people who were born in the Fire Nation and sometimes in the colonies. He has straight, dark brown hair, which when it is short it is messy. He is a very handsome teen or at least he was, before his father burnt half of his face in an Agni-Kai. The burnt goes from his nose bridge to his left ear wide and from the top of his forehead down to his jaw line. He has no eyebrow nor eyelashes on that side and it marks like a flame on his hairline that doesn’t have hair either. Depending on the situation is the kind of clothes he wears, before he was considered a traitor and had to flee to the Earth Kingdom, he used to wear Fire Nation royal clothes or the army armor, but now he wears green or brown loose clothes, to look like any other person from the colonies or a refugee.
personality;; He has a very difficult personality to explain. At the beginning he was a common royal kid, he was happy only when he was with his mother, but whenever he was with his father and sister, he became a very silent and envious kid, because of Azula’s magnificent way of fire bending. After his father burnt his face and sent him away, his main motives in life is to restore his honor and find the avatar. His uncle Iroh had always been his anchor to sanity.
When he was the blue spirit, he demostrate that he not only has a huge determination but also that he has an amazing capability of using other recources than his firebending, he uses his physical trainment and his habilities as a swordsman. He never gives up, fighting for what he believes that is right is other of his motives, even if that lead him to be considered a traitor to his nation. He thinks that if someone works very hard for something then that person will achieve whatever it dreams.
Even when he is a bitter teen, he has been learning how to live in peace with himself, Iroh had helped him with that. Since he lives in the Earth Kingdom, he has also learnt to be a bit more tolerat to other people and to calm down rather than exploding like before when he was a real hothead, at least if no one bothers him, the innocent ones or the ones he loves, like his uncle. He has also learnt to be protective and caring about others, or well he remembered how to be like that.
family;;
- Avatar Roku (great.grandfather – deceased)

- Sozin, Fire Lord (great-grandfather - deceased)
- Iroh (uncle)
- Ozai, Fire Lord (father)
- Ursa, Princess (mother)

history;; Zuko’s childhood wasn’t the most pleasant one in the world, even when his mother was a loving and caring one at him, his father always thought of him as a failure and when his sister, Azula, was born and developed an amazing natural gift for bending, his father soon started to support Azula instead of him. He worked everyday very hard to be a better bender and to gain his father’s and grandfather’s recognition and love, but his good heart never made him as cold as they wanted him to be.
Even though his father and grandfather seemed not to love him, his mother loved him very much, also his uncle Iroh and his cousin LuTen, so his life was kind of normal until he was eleven years old, the royal family got the terrible letter with new from the front, LuTen had died in war. Then Zuko’s life changed dramatically, his father Ozai saw the opportunity there to be Fire Lord. He asked to talk to his father Fire Lord Azulon, there he showed Azula’s amazing firebending, Zuko wanted to impress his father and grandfather too, so he fire bent in front of them but couldn’t do as well as Azula, he was called again a disgrace for their family. After that meeting ozai asked Azulon to give him the throne instead of giving it to Iroh that had no heir after him. Azulon didn’t want to do it, but after listening to him he understood that he was right, Iroh had no heir and Ozai had two, but to allow him being the Fire Lord, he would have to feel the same pain that his brother was feeling, so he ordered Ozai to kill the weak link, Zuko.
Later that night, Ursa came into the room and talked to him, she told him that she had done something, but it had all been for him, that no matter what he needed to remain being himself, that she always would love him, after that she left. Next morning Zuko discovered that his mother was missiang and his grandfather Azulon had died. His father became Fire Lord and he knew everything had changed in his life.
After that he kept training and improving his bending. His uncle Iroh was his teacher and also his support. He became in his father even when it was a kind of a known secret. When zuko was thirteen years old, he wanted to be in a meeting with the council, if he was going to be fire lord someday he would need to know how things worked there. Iroh allowed him to be in the meeting but he told him not to talk, only listened to what they said in there. But when he listened about a plan where young soldiers were going to be sacrified he couldn’t remain silent, so he spoke against the general that gave that idea. He was told he would have to fight in an Agni-Kai, he accepted thinking he was going to fight against the general, But he had not only insulted the general but also his father, which he didn’t understand until he turned to face his opponent, it was his father. Zuko couldn’t fight against him and his father called him a coward, a weak link. He burnt Zuko’s half side of his face and told banished him from the Fire Nation until he could find the Avatar.
He thought then that the only way that he would be able to regan his honor and the love of his father was to find the avatar and to take him to his father. Iroh told him numerous times that it was impossible, that no one had ever been the avatar at least in the past hundred years, but Zuko continued looking for him, until three years after that, he finally found him in the Southern Water Tribe. He captured Aang and was going to take him to his father, but Aang escaped with the help of two water tribe peasents.
But he never lost hope, he knew he would have to do anything to capture him, anything to get the avatar to his father’s prescence. Even to act against the commanders and generals of his nation. General Zhao captured the Avatar and Zuko set him free under the disguise of the Blue Spirit. No one knew it was him, he did it without firebending, only his physical abilities and his two dao swords. After that his avatar’s persecution led him to the Northern Water Tribes, where he captured Aang again, he had to fight against Zhao for that, so he was considered a traitor to his nation, not only banished but also being a traitor. But yet again the two peasents helped Aang and was set free again.
His uncle Iroh and himself had to run away, they went to the Earth Kingdom and began a life like common people. There Zuko started to learn about the people there, there he saw the real suffering that the Fire Nation had put on these people. They lived like wanderers and he hated it, he felt no pride on it at all. But he knew he would have to go and see the world with his own eyes to know what was real and not from his former life. He left his uncle and lived alone for some weeks.
Then on one day he found his uncle again, also the avatar and his friends but not only them, he also found out that his sister, who had been chasing him since he had been called a traitor. He helped the avatar against azula they were winning the fight against her, but then she attacked Iroh and almost killed him. Then she ran away. Zuko was so scared, so worried, that he didn’t allow Katara to get close to his uncle and just let them go.
He took his uncle to a small hut near the sea. There he took care of his wounds and even tried to make some tea, because his uncle loved it. He remains there by his uncle’s side waiting for him to wake up.
As soon as he woke up, Zuko asked him to help him with Azula, Iroh taught him how to redirect a lightning, technique that he developed so neither Azula or even the Fire Lord Ozai would know. Zuko wasn’t a fast learner on that and he didn’t know why. His uncle told him, he needed balance in him to have it in life and also in that technique. Zuko didn’t get it at that time. After some time, they decided to go to Ba Sing Se. in their way to that place, Zuko met Jet from the EarthKingdom, Jet invited him to help him and he’s group to get some food from the capitain of the ship where they were travelling on, Zuko didn’t want to get in troubles, but he was tired to live as a commoner, so he helped them. They did an awesome team together, but Zuko soon got apart, he didn’t want Jet to know he was from the fire nation.
In Ba Sing Se, Iroh wanted his tea hot so he heated it with his hands, he thought no one had seen him but Jet and zuko did, Zuko scolded his uncle, but Jet knew they were firebenders. As soon as they got into BaSingSe, they got a job in a small tea shop, Zuko hated it, but Iroh told him to enjoy life, even that simple one. Some days later Jet fought against zuko to show the others he was a firebender, but Zuko didn’t use his fire bending to defeat him, he only used his dual swords. He never saw Jet again.
Days passed and then the king invited them to the palace, because he had heard they made the best tea in Ba Sing Se, so they went to the inner circle. But it was a trap, Azula was there and had already gotten the help from the Dai Li. Zuko got captured but Iroh escaped. In prison he saw Katara again, there they talked and he was honest with her, she even wanted to heal his scar, but would she be able to heal the scar in his soul? When the time came, to decide if he would help his uncle and the Avatar or would help his sister and the fire nation, he chose wrong. He attacked Katara and aang, then gave the cold shoulder to his uncle.
He got back home, finally after 3 long years he was home again, but he didn’t feel as if it was right. Azula told their father that he had killed the avatar, which was a lie! But yet he said nothing about it, he met Mai again and they started dating, he was accepted back in the war council! His life was perfect again, but his uncle wasn’t with him, he was in prison as a traitor. He visited several times, wanting to ask for forgiveness but when he got there, he always ended up hurting his uncle even more. A couple of weeks after that, Iroh sent Zuko a message telling him that he needed to learn about his great grandfather’s death. Zuko thought he was talking about Sozin, so he went to see in some old files, there Sozin wrote his memories, including his friendship with avatar Roku.
There he learnt how the war started, how he betrayed his fest friend the avatar, but still he didn’t know what he needed to learn there, so he went to talk to his uncle and Iroh told him that he had two great grandfathers one was Sozin, but the other one was Roku. So he had the evil and goodness in him to decide what to do with his life. After that Zuko got even more confused, what should he really do with that information, with his life. But when he went to a counsil’s meeting, he knew what he had to do.
On sozin’s comet day, he looked for his father in his bunker and told him that he would join the avatar, that he was going to help him to defeat his own father and to finish with that madness. Ozai tried to kill him with a lightning, but Zuko redirected it as Iroh taught him, then he ran away. He followed the Gaang to the Northern Air temple, there he asked to join the group and be Aang’s teacher. It was very difficult, even more because Katara didn’t trust him, least than the others, but yet, he showed them he had really changed, so they accepted him, as an allay not a friend.
He then discovered his bending was weaker, that he needed rage to make it stronger, but he didn’t want wrath to control his life, so both Aang and him went to the place where firebending started. There they found a very ‘special’ fire bending technique, a dance that allowed them to dance with drangon. Dragons that were supposed to be extinct, (but he also discovered that his uncle Iroh lied about his hunting to allow those creatures to live.) After their dance with them, the dragons gave them the secret of fire and fire bending. They knew then how to do it from the inside, with their life force, with their balance and not with wrath or hate.
Zuko had some interesting journeys with the Gaang, that helped him to earn their trust. With sokka he went to the boiling rock to save Sokka’s father. He risked his life there and kept loyal, so Sokka accepted him as a friend too, After their journey, Aang also accepted him as a friend. With Katara, he helped her to get to the man who killed her mother and have her revenge, she didn’t kill him, but she finally forgave zuko and also accepted him as her friend.
Azula found them in the air temple, so they all ran away, to the ember Island, to the old beach house of the Fire Lord. Zuko knew they would be safe there, the fire lord never went there, not since he became a fire lord. There he told the Gaang about his father’s plans for the Earth Kingdom, that aang would have to defeat fire Lord before it or Ozai would burn everything. Then Aang disappeared, everyone looked for him, but they couldn’t find him. So they went to look for the other person Zuko thought that could defeat Ozai… Iroh.
Iroh escaped from prison on Sozin’s comet day. Zuko asked June to locate him and she took them to the walls of Ba Sing Se. There they found some old masters, members of the White lotus. Iroh was a high member of that elite group. They took them to their camp and zuko went to talk to his uncle. He was asñeep so he waited until he woke up.
When Iroh got up, Zuko started to ask for forgiveness, to tell his uncle how blind he had been, how confused and that he knew how much he hated him. But Iroh held him in a tight hug and told him he had never been angry at him, just worried and concerned that he had lost his path in life. After that, Zuko told Iroh to help them defeat Ozai. Iroh told them that it wouldn’t be correct, that he killed his brother, so the avatar would have to do it, and about being the new Fire Lord, the fire nation needed someone new, brave and with an unstained honor. Zuko didn’t want to believe that it was him, but he promised he would do his best.
He asked Katara to help him defeat Azula, she agreed. So they left to Capital City to defeat her. There Azula was going to be named Fire Lord, but Zuko stopped her. Azula dare him to an Agni Kai, Zuko accepted. They fought very well, and Zuko could have won that battle, but Azula shot a lightning against Katara, zuko tried to save her and got the lightning. He was badly injured and couldn’t move, he was dying. Katara defeated Azula and then healed him with her water healing technique.
Then He after some hours, he knew aang had defeated his father, taking his firebending away from him. And they sent Ozai to prison and Azula to a mental hospital. He was named Fire Lord Zuko. He ended the war and promised the people that he would work with Aang to rebuilt the world. First he commanded the fire Nation people to get back from the colonies to the Fire Nation, but many of them were already mixed with Earth kingdom’s people. Bicultural families! They didn’t want to be split away, so zuko stopped the extraditions and talked to Aang they needed a solution.
He told Katara what he felt for her and he almost yelled in joy when she said she felt the same for him, they started dating almost immediately.After talking to the Earth Kingdom’s King, they decided to settle a new city, it was called Republic City, a place where everyone, benders and non-benders, from all the nations would be able to live in peace. When he turned 22 years old he got married to Katara. Then after 9 months they got a beautiful daughter. Now he’s Fire Lord and also goes regularly to Republic City to check that everything is working perfectly.
