Mrs. Morishita

"earth"

- Yes, I'm an Earthbender. As is our daughter.

Morishita's wife was the spouse of Mayor Morishita, the Fire Nation authority in charge of the city of Yu Dao, a Fire Nation colony in the western Earth Kingdom. An Earthbender, she nevertheless married into an important Fire Nation colonial family. The couple had a daughter named Kori, who was also an Earthbender.

Personality
Morishita's wife was much more level-headed than her husband, remaining calm and polite even as Fire Lord Zuko threatened Morishita. She often criticized her husband for his outspokenness. She had a good relationship with her daughter, even illegally freeing her from her chains after she was brought back to Yu Dao. Though not as vocal on the issue as her husband, she also opposed the Harmony Restoration Movement, as it would mean separating her family and dismantling the home they had built together.

Abilities
Her Earthbending is shown to be powerful. During her husband's confrontation with Zuko, she raised a large block of earth in order to protect him. She also taught Kori how to use her Earthbending, suggesting that her abilities are more extensive than she has displayed.
