Background Information
Suzimi is a fire bender girl who used to live in the fire nation until her mother and father were captured by Fire Lord Ozai. After a few futile attempts to free her mother, Suzimi formed a rebel army with other angry fire benders. The fire benders were on the very edge of battle preparing to defeat enough soldiers to free the prisoners when suddenly, fire nation troops swarmed into their camp. They had been betrayed by one of their own… Almost everyone was captured by the fire nation, including Suzimi. She was tried in front of the Fire Lord and she was banished for "betraying" her nation. She was sent away with enough provisions to last a week. Suzimi wandered away and realized that the only way to be reunited with her mother would be to fight her own nation. She had heard rumors of the avatar and set out to find him. In her search, she caused much damage to fire nation ships and camps, finally getting herself captured by Prince Zuko. (Wow. I bet you saw that coming!) She was with him for about a day when she finally freed herself. She ran.
She had been running for about 4 or 5 hours when she realized how tired she was. She lay down under a tree, meaning to rest for only about 20 minutes. The next thing she knew, she was being shaken awake by a strange monk with an arrow on his head…
