I'm sure you are all expecting me to tell you some sob story about my childhood and my missing mother and whatever else. I'm here to tell you this absolutely will not happen. I will give you a brief overview, and then you can proceed to the rest of the story. You're welcome.

I am Princess Azula of the Fire Nation. My father is Fire Lord Ozai, my mother was Fire Lady Ursa, and my useless brother Zuko is the prince. The only two worth talking about are my father and I. My mother was banished (I assume) when I was young and Zuko was born weak. When I was young I had two friends, Ty Lee and Mai. Both of them were tolerable and capable of fighting if necessary. Ty Lee ran away when we were twelve. Mai's father became Governor of Ba Sing Se, so she moved out there. Zuko was banished for being a fool and sent to look for the Avatar. Everybody assumed that this was a fruitless wild-goose chase simply meant to distract him, but then the Avatar actually appeared. After my asinine brother failed repeatedly at catching him, I was sent to do his. I gathered Ty Lee and Mai again and we departed. That is all.
