Ta Min

"fire"

- That's not very traditional, but okay.

Ta Min was a Fire Nation noble-woman, the wife of Avatar Roku, the grandmother of Ursa, and the great-grandmother of Azula and Zuko.

History
Born into one of the wealthiest families in the Fire Nation, Ta Min always thought that she would marry someone in the royal family. However, her beliefs changed when she met Avatar Roku and was attracted to his persistence, kindness and intelligence. Roku had a crush on Ta Min, but every time he saw her he would become nervous and believed that she didn't even know he existed. She was present at Roku and Prince Sozin's birthday when Roku learned of his Avatar status.



Roku and Ta Min ended up marrying each other, with Sozin taking the position of Roku's best man. At the wedding, Sozin asked Ta Min for the permission to borrow Roku for a talk. She replied that was untraditional, but let Sozin do so. During the talk, Sozin told Roku of the plan to spread the Fire Nation.

Roku and Ta Min had a house on Roku's home island. It is known they had to have had at least one child, as Ursa is their granddaughter, but their child (or children) is not depicted and little else about their daily lives is known.

One night in 12 BSC on Roku's island, Roku and Ta Min were sleeping when they felt the earth tremble. They hurried outside and were met by huge clouds of ash from an erupting volcano. Roku turned and attempted to fight the volcano. The eruption could be seen and felt from the Fire Lord's home hundreds of miles away and he came to help his friend. Ta Min waited anxiously on a boat while watching her husband's attempts to stop the lava. Sozin realized that with Roku gone he could continue with his plans and left Roku and Fang to die.

Ta Min never stopped loving Roku, even after he died. She never remarried and quietly lived the rest of her days on Ember Island. Ta Min's granddaughter was Princess Ursa, wife of Prince Ozai, who became Fire Lord after Ursa's banishment. This means that Ta Min was the great-grandmother of Fire Lord Zuko and Princess Azula.
