What was iroh’s wife like

Too good for Iroh.

I was fourteen when Iroh got married. His wife was the perfect princess, strict, strong, loyal and intelligent. Not the kind of princess who tries to send secret intimate letters to stinky peasants behind her prince and husband's back, but Iroh never appreciated his privileges.

She was so strong and proper that she could afford to be kind. No one could resist her charm. Everyone wanted to please her, she had a curious effect on people. My father was very nice to her, too (because, of course, she never sneezed into the portrait of his dead wife, unlike his other daughter-in-law), and for a while he was in a better mood, even around me. She was even nice to me too, probably because she knew that even at such a young age I already held immense power and deserved the recognition of a proper prince. She used to ask me to show her my best firebending moves. Maybe that's what it feels like to have a mother.

When she died, Iroh, Lu Ten, and my father got through it together. Losing his wife made Iroh and my father even closer, and there was a new kind of understanding between them. And as before, the two forgot about me again. Of all the stupid things Iroh has done in his life, letting his wife die must have been the worst. I don't think I ever forgave him.

#Me: I don't actually think I will ever want to get married. I prefer to focus on winning the war #My father: You will get married I need you to sire powerful firebenders to serve Lu Ten when he's firelord #Me:... Alright but can it be someone smart and strong? who's loyal to me and raises my children to be strong? #My father: No you're marrying the granddaughter of a traitor obsessed with a peasant who will raise your first son to be a worthless loser #Me: 🙁 I shall do what you order me father I'm your loyal son #*13 years after* #My father: Zuko is a waste of dna. Eliminate him #Me: Don't you say 😑 #ask ozai #Ozai #Azulon #Iroh #Iroh's wife #Atla #avatar the last airbender
