- I’ve always wanted to learn how to juggle.

Jin is a girl from Ba Sing Se who develops a crush on Zuko.

Date with Zuko


Jin frequently visits the tea shop where Iroh and Zuko were employed, and eventually builds up the courage to ask Zuko out on a date. After going out to an awkward dinner, the pair go to a fountain that is renowned for its beauty (and the place where Jin's parents used to meet as teenagers); however, the lanterns that majestically illuminate the fountain are unfortunately unlit when they arrive. Noting her disappointment, Zuko asks Jin to close her eyes and he carefully uses Firebending to light the lanterns. At the end of their date Jin kisses Zuko. Although he begins to return it, he then backs away abruptly and excuses himself by saying, "It's complicated," and he leaves her standing alone.



Fall of Ba Sing Se
Jin is once again at Pao's tea shop, but watches in horror as the Fire Nation takes over Ba Sing Se.

After the Fall of Ba Sing Se, during a walk with Mai, Jin calls Zuko by his refugee name Lee, and asks who Mai is. Zuko says that Mai is a friend from the circus, where she is a knife thrower. Joining the facade, Mai says she'll teach her how to throw knifes. She has Zuko stand in front of a fountain, and puts a target (a fish from a nearby market) on his head. Mai explains that the trick is in the wrist as she accurately hits the fish with an icicle. When Jin throws the icicle, she barely misses Zuko's head, who then falls in the fountain.

Post-War
Jin is presumed to be living peacefully in Ba Sing Se now that the War has finally ended. It is unknown if her feelings for Zuko still linger, although this is unlikely as she had met his girlfriend Mai.
