Sela

"earth"

- You have to help. It's Lee, the folks came back to town came back as soon as Gansu left. When they ordered us to give them food, Lee pulled a knife on them! I don't even know where he got a knife!

Sela is Gansu's wife and the mother of Lee and his older brother, Sensu. She and her family run a farm in a small Earth Kingdom village.

Sela is a kind woman but is clearly very stressed with the burdens of her family and running a farm. She is very respectful and is willing to welcome strangers into her home if she believes them to be good enough people. As a mother Sela is very protective of her children, and though she appears to be a very strong woman, she is not above asking for help when she is in over her head. It would appear that she, like many others in the Earth Kingdom, also has a strong hatred for the Fire Nation.

History


When her oldest son went to war against the Fire Nation, she was left with her second son, Lee, to care for.

When Zuko came to the village and helped Lee out of a tough situation, Sela was happy to give him a place to stay. After Lee was captured by Gow and his followers, Sela approached Zuko and asked him for help. Zuko obliged and went to get Lee back from Gow. Zuko was struggling at first because he could only use his swords. After Zuko defeated Gow with Firebending, Sela demanded that he leave as she stood in front of Lee, "protecting" him.
