"But Now We're Twenty"

**Zeran**, was the Avatar born in 1200 AG as the Princess of the Fire Nation, where she would master her Firebending. She would learn she was the Avatar after a slip up from her older brother at age eight, but her father wouldn't allow her to learn anything of her Avatar duties until she turned sixteen, which was the start of story *A Nation On Fire*, which she stars in.

This whole page is still largely a work in progress, so bare with me.

## History.

Zeran was born in the Fire Nation as one of it's Princess', where soon after her birth it would be discovered she was the Avatar. While it was planned to follow the tradition too tell her at sixteen, a slip-up from her older brother Ryuzen would tell her she was the Avatar at eight.

After getting over the initial shock, Zeran would yearn to learn more about her abilities and to step into her duties more, but her father would forbid it until she was older, and further forbid her from saying anything about it to keep her safe.

Despite trying to learn everything she could about other bending arts, she wouldn't find anything of meaning. Once it was revealed to the world, mentors would naturally come to train the Avatar. But her quick temper and rage would send away all of her mentors, greatly angering her father.

In light of this, her father would send a message to the other three nations in a quest for a master bender of each type who was around the age of sixteen, in the hopes that someone her own age would be able to understand her better.

This would have the Earthbender Eun-Kang from Omashu, the Southern Water Tribe Princess Kivalen, and the Air Nomad Kaze, all come to train Zeran for their own reasons.

## Personality.

Zeran started out as an often irritable and easily angered young woman with a quick temper. This was largely due to the fact that she believed she had been denied her destiny for half of her life, and held a lot of contempt within her over this fact.

During this time of her life, Zeran was angered with her mentors easily, mostly due to the fact she could see through their facade's and could tell they simply wanted to influence the world their own way by using the young Avatar. She thus disliked all of them and failed to learn anything from them.

When presented with mentors around her age who tried too understand Zeran for reasons outside of personal goal, Zeran was much more hospitable with them, though struggled too believe teenagers her own age were as talented as they claimed.

She proved to be impatient, hoping she would progress faster with her bending training, and would neglect the spiritual training, often going out of her way to skip training with Kaze. Though after a heart-to-heart with the Airbender about their anger with their circumstances, Zeran her destiny and Kaze her anger over not being able to hear, Zeran would largely calm down for the rest of the series.

Zeran would show a much kinder side to her, showing compassion towards others and an openness to people she'd previously been entirely unwilling to speak with. Despite all of this, she would keep her headstrong assertiveness with everyone she encountered.

## Trivia.

* Zeran was the only member of Team Avatar to have known any sign language before meeting Kaze, but only knew basic Fire Nation sign language phrases that weren't largely even used in conversations.
