Crown Prince headpiece



The Crown Prince headpiece, an ancient royal artifact of the Fire Nation, is a headpiece meant to be worn by the Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. The crown has two prongs, as opposed to the five-pronged Fire Lord's headpiece.

History
The headpiece was passed down from generation to generation until it was inherited by Prince Sozin, who gave it to his friend, Avatar Roku, as a gesture of close friendship. Roku kept it and wore it for the rest of his life as a reminder of this.



Sometime after Roku's death, the headpiece came into the possession of Sozin's grandson, Iroh. It is unknown how Iroh came to own the crown, but Roku was not wearing the headpiece when he died. It was seen falling off his bedside table during Roku's frantic escape from his home with his wife, Ta Min. Presumably, the headpiece was buried along with the rest of Roku's island. Iroh later gave the headpiece to his nephew Prince Zuko, after leading him to learn the story of Roku and Sozin. It is unknown what became of the headpiece after this, as Zuko was never seen wearing it.

Although he was not wearing it when he died, Avatar Roku was always seen wearing the headpiece when he appeared to Avatar Aang or manifested in the physical world through Aang. This may be because within the Spirit World, an Avatar can control how he or she appears, or in the way that Avatar perceives him, or herself.

What happened to the headpiece after the War is unknown, as it has not been seen after that incident.

Trivia

 * It is unknown how the Crown Prince headpiece ended up in Iroh's possession, as Roku was not wearing the headpiece when he died and so could obviously not have passed it on. It is also not known how Iroh managed to keep the headpiece even through being taken captive or unknown how it was uncovered from the ash that covered Roku's home, unless Roku gave it to Ta Min before the latter fled the isle.
