Fairy Tales

Katara

When she was little Katara couldn't understand why life couldn't be like the fairy tales. Where evil was always conquered, love always blossomed, men were honorable, and their always was an adventure.

Sometimes she would just pretend that life was a book but whenever she came back from her world of princes and princess every betrayal would hurt just a bit more than usual.

It was only when she met Zuko that she finally realized that not every story had a happy ending.

Zuko

When he was little Zuko always thought that fairy tales were over rated. There was no death, gore, or violence but just a lot of happy endings.

So he quickly forgot about Cinderella and Snow White's seven dwarfs and began to listen to his uncles stories. These ones were about battles, soldiers, and armies. There was never a happy ending in sight.

When Zuko turned fourteen he suddenly realized the appeal of Cinderella.

Aang

When Aang was little he was never allowed to read Fairy tales but some of his fellow monks snuck the banned literature in and Aang immediately fell in love with the stories. He swore that he would become like the prince in the stories and save the damsels in distress.

Now he realizes that not all girls are helpless.

Sokka

Sokka liked hunting platypus-bear than reading but there were those times when Katara had managed to get him to play princess with her that he desperately wished he was reading the stories to Katara rather than swishing around in a dress.

Right now though, in the heat of battle, he wishes he was still back to those happy days.

Azula

When Azula saw her first Fairy Tale she promptly set it on fire and promised that if she saw another one she would do the same thing.

She kept her promise.
