- Ozai is the first Fire Royal in millenia who has never so much as seen a dragon. This made the Phoenix very interested.

- The Fire Nation likes to do silly, smutty romance novels about the nobility, especially the royals, and other people of note. Ozai tends to enjoy reading the ones about him and Ursa aloud to his wife.

- When he's in his seventies and has retired to his estates, Ozai turns a lot of his attention to writing philosophical meditations. There is a certain dwelling on death, change, and endurance of what life throws at you as well as how one might carry something of what one has learned onto the next incarnation.
