Madame Macmu-Ling who has a fierce passion for grammar the master and teacher of the 5-7-5 Society.

She carries herself gracefully. She was a teacher as well as a master of Haiku. She could effortlessly evoke eloquent imagery within the Haiku discipline. She respected and defended the complexities of the art, and expected others to do the same. She also apparently had little regard for those whom she believed were incapable of appreciating the high arts and did not hesitate to use her craft to try and make such people look like fools. Madame Macmu-Ling lives in the Upper Ring of Ba Sing Se.

Very little is definitely known about the background of Madame Macmu-Ling, though she is widely assumed to be the teacher of the Haiku class.
