Now that I'm getting into the groove of writing, I'm sure y'all have questions.
Or maybe not, but I'm pretending you do anyway.
So.
Pick an OC of mine, and ask me anything you'd like about their "canon" backstory.
Why specify "canon"? Because I like AUs. A lot. So it's easier to specify.

His parents have taught him to firebend ever since he was born, and he refuses to learn from a stranger.
Li Xia takes one look at the stubborn mouth on the daimyo's second son, and the next day she brings back a younger cousin.
"Li Zhao hasn't any firebending talent worth mentioning," she announces loudly, "so a daimyo's son had better be able to keep up with him."

How did Kuma's relationship with Bato begin?
"I want to hunt something you can't find around here," he says when Hakoda asks. "Walruscuda or ice-bison, maybe."
"I'll come with you," Hakoda says immediately, eyes alight at the prospect of such a hunt.
Bato chuckles softly and pushes his friend in the direction of the house he shares with his mother and wife. "Get Kya someone to remember you by first."
***
"I need a guide," he says the second night he is in the men's lodge of the village. He doesn't know these people well. Bato's father and Sangilak had not liked Tukkar, and while the pirate was hung long ago, his second still lived and his boy was...
Kuma is dangerous. "To where?"
"Where the bison are."
Kuma grins, and the finger-bones in his hair click together as he grabs his gear.
Re: How did Kuma's relationship with Bato begin?
I enjoy that Bato's aware of other's feelings, unfounded or not. I like how he steps down and doesn't seem to be crushed, unlike so many fics that involve Hakoda, Bato, and Kya. His best friend's wife is jealous, he'll go off and do stuff.

Does Hitozi find out what really happened when Zuko was away when he grows older?
Does Hitozi find out what really happened when Zuko was away when he grows older?
Father wasn't even home when Ursa had to have been conceived. He hadn't been home for months.
His friends wonder why he's fallen quiet, and he lets them talk him into something stupid before he slides deeper into brooding.

How does Niran react when he learns Tian is pregnant?
How does Niran react when he learns Tian is pregnant?
Tian hummed and continued to fill pastry shells with chopped nuts and fruits. "They fail sometimes, you know."
"That's why you have that tea!"
She filled another pastry shell and pressed the flour-petals together. "Niran, you like children. Why is this upsetting?"
He froze, eyes flicking to her then shifting to stare into a corner. "... It might not live. What if- What if you lose the child, Tian? And if it does live, it'll be mixed. You know what people say about mixed children."
She said nothing for several minutes as she finished the last of her pastry shells. Then she raised her eyes to study him.
His eyes were haunted.
Oh, Niran, she thought sadly. How many women have you taken away from the pain of miscarriages and rapes? How many girls with hazel eyes that are more gold than brown have you taken away from the pain of being mixed heritage in Ba Sing Se?
"It's ours," she said softly, folding her hands over her belly. "It's ours, Niran. That's enough."
What sends Tikaani and Nilak to Aang?
Nilak shakes her head, eyes wide and frightened. Tikaani isn't sure if her cousin is scared of speaking to the chief or admitting she's an airbender. Especially since the chief's daughter is courting the Avatar.
"You need to," Tikaani repeats. "And if you don't, I will."

How and when does Lady Kimiko decide that she will try to become Ozai's mistress?
How and when does Lady Kimiko decide that she will try to become Ozai's mistress?
She knows it would never have come this far if the Firelord disapproved, that this is just show and pomp.
There is a young man standing near the Firelord's throne, next to the low-class bitch who has taken the seneschal's position. Other positions, too, if the rumors are to be believed, and Mama has said the rumors about Azulon's appetites for women are almost always to be believed. That is why she has been so rarely presented at court.
The young man has a cast to his face like the Firelord, and the eyes that meet hers are pure gold. A shock runs through her body, and she thinks longingly of the days when she wasn't betrothed. Before she and Osamu came to their little agreement - two children between them, then they'd tend to their own affairs as they saw fit.
She can't afford to dally with this bastard, no matter what favor he has with the Firelord to be so acknowledged. A pity.
***
"Prince Ozai," her husband says, two years later when they bring their first child to present to the Firelord. The little boy occupies Kimiko's arms and attention, and she barely controls herself when she glances at the man Osamu greets as a prince.
It is the young man from the court, and the shock runs through her again, stronger, twinging in her womb and cunt. He is handsome, and all the rumors said he was still unmarried. She might curse the bad luck to land a mere daimyo when there was a royal prince, except not even the royal house had the sheer wealth the daimyos of Buyou no Long Shima did.
"Lord Osamu. Lady Kimiko." His voice caresses her name, and Kimiko decides she will have to try harder for a second child.
The wealth and comfort of being Osamu's wife would be nicely enhanced by the prestige and gifts of sating the needs of one of Azulon's spawn. Especially if she could keep him from straying - Azulon and Iroh were renowned for their womanizing but neither had strayed from the wives they loved.
If she could make Ozai love her in the way Osamu never would...
Her mouth curved in a smile. "Prince Ozai."
Re: How and when does Lady Kimiko decide that she will try to become Ozai's mistress?
I love the concept of 'lust in first sight' for Kimiko's behalf. Meanwhile Ozai goes, 'Women. D=' and misses Kazan very much?
How does Thanh deal with teaching history that never really happened at all?
But they wanted to, Thanh noticed during his first semester. They wanted to, and if they couldn't be taught it, they'd go looking for answers some other way.
That would be troublesome.
His smile isn't kind when he tells the Dean what courses he's going to teach next semester.

Is Harumi treated any differently as the last child and baby of the family?
Does Ursa have that airbender spirit?
Are Harumi and Kohaku treated any differently as the last children and babies of the family?
Ty Lee grins. "Like Mother always said. When the first child swallows a shu, you take her to a doctor. When the third child swallows a shu, you take it out of their allowance."
