Arie Kozonoko(same name, new background) is a princess of the Fire Nation. The Fire Nation was split, but peacefully split. Arie grew up with the Fire Lord Ozai's kids. When Arie's parents died in a raid by the Earth Kingdom (which had failied) when she was 10. She was allowed to live in the palace. Zuko despised her. He felt that his father favored her more than him. He treated her rudely. Arie ignored him and spent much time with his Uncle Iroh talking, playing games, or drinking tea. When Zuko went to the meeting, Arie was also allowed to go. She witnessed Zuko's disrespect, yet she agreed to his view. She also would have backed him up if Iroh hadn't have stopped her. She was there at this fight and banishment. Once he and Iroh were gone, Arie left also. She spent close to 3 years in the Earth Kingdom practicing her fire and water bending. Her mother had been a waterbender and her father a firebender. She has dark brown hair usually worn in a ponytail and has honey brown eyes with pretty navy blue specks in them. She is now 15, soon to be 16.
"Not again," Arie muttered, trying to fend off 5 earthbenders.
They thought she was a spy for the Fire Nation.
"What is this? The 23rd time this month?" she thought.
They had her cornered at a cliff.
"Oh, just perfect," she thought," Well, good-bye world. It was a good life...I guess..."
Just then, she noticed a ship passing. If she jumped, she could land on the ship.
"Oh, whats a few broken bones or body to death anyways?" she said.
She jumped, to the shock of the earthbenders.
"This is gonna hurt," Arie thought.
She could hear men on the ship shouting and pointing at her.
Instead of hitting metal of a ship, she was caught and landed on a person.
"OW! Never again am I catching anyone who is crazy enough to jump off a cliff," a voice said.
Arie looked down at the person whose torso she was sitting on. It was a teenage looking boy with a scar around his left eye.
"Why do you seem familiar?" Arie asked.
"How about we figure that out after you get off me?" the boy said.
Arie got up. A chubby man walked over to the boy and tried to help him up. The boy moved away from the man.
"Um, thank you for kinda saving me, um, and sorry for any broken bones or bruises that might turn up," Arie said, sheepishly.
She looked around at what she noticed as Fire Nation soldiers.
"Who are you?" the boy asked, sternly.
"Arie. Arie Kozonoko."
A bunch of conversations broke out at that. The boy and the man looked shocked. Arie rolled her eyes.
"And you are?" she asked," Wait..."
She looked at the two carefully.
"Iroh? Zuko?"
Iroh smiled while Zuko looked irritated.
"I can't believe of all the people I save, its her," Zuko muttered, going to his cabin.
Arie and Iroh watched him go.
"Its good to see you again, Princess," Iroh said," Would you like some tea?"
"I'd love some," she answered.
-Later-
"Uncle, where do you plan to-?" Zuko said, bursting into the living area below deck.
Zuko stopped when he saw Arie drinking tea with his uncle.
"What were you saying, Prince Zuko?" Iroh asked.
"Where do you plan on letting her stay?" Zuko said, making a face of disgust at Arie.
"Well, I thought it'd be nice for her to stay in your room," Iroh said, calmly sipping his tea.
"WHAT?!" the two teens shouted.
"Well you are both royalty so-"
"Fine, fine, whatever!" Zuko said, storming off.
Once he was gone, Arie turned to Iroh.
"Why does he hate me so?" she asked.
"Oh, don't worry about him, he is always like that," Iroh said," He can be charming if he wants to."
"Sure..."
