Scars
Azula loved making fun of people who had scars, i.e., her own brother. Mai was indifferent to people who had scars, although, secretly Ty Lee knew that Mai loved Zuko's scar because Mai had a crush on Prince Zuko. Ty Lee was the only one out of all Prince Zuko friends to cry about his scar. She knew what life was like with having scars. She learned to hide her scars well beneath her smile that she had. After all, how else was she suppose to survive and adopt being around Azula.
