Zuko's Protector
by Iroh's Tea Shoppe Girls
Disclaimer: Avatar: The Last Airbender is not ours. If it were Iroh would be the main character.
The girl had been born into a noble family of the Fire Nation. From a young age she was a companion to Prince Zuko. Rumors had spread that she was going to marry the young prince when the time came. But, alias, due to the whole banishment business, the prospect of Zuko even returning home to her diminished.
Unable to cope with the loss of her childhood playmate and future husband, the girl refused to stay silent. She approached Ozai and spoke her mind, telling him what a big meanie he was. For the she was going to be executed, but managed to escape.
Forsaking her nation and her life of luxury the girl decided to turn to the only person who ever made her feel safe, Zuko. After miraculously running into the banished prince, the girl then declared herself queen of the ship, as she was the only female. Also, her possibly someday being betrothed to Zuko helped. She then went on to order every one around. Including Zuko.
After one measly afternoon of the girl's constant presence and constant "advice" Zuko was at his wits end. Unwilling to kill a Fire Nation citizen, even if she was banished, Zuko sought his wise old Uncle Iroh's aid.
Iroh then devised at plan in which they would talk to Zhao, claiming the girl was Avatar-bait and tricking him into kidnapping the shrew. All ended well, Zhao "dealt with" the exiled girl, and Iroh was able to once again enjoy a soothing cup of jasmine tea in quiet.
