Chan


 * This article is about the Ember Island teenager. For the admiral, see Chan (Fire Nation admiral).

"fire"

- All right, listen, my dad's an admiral. He has no idea I'm having this party, so don't mess anything up.

Chan, son of the famous Admiral Chan, was one of the most popular, powerful, and attractive Fire Nation teenagers on Ember Island. He was confident and conceited because of his family's status. His arrogance was such that he apparently considered himself and his friends to be "some of the most important teenagers in the Fire Nation," a very ironic claim that grated against Prince Zuko and Princess Azula for obvious reasons. He loved hosting parties at his parents' beach house while they were away. Apparently, he also worked out.

History
Chan and his friend, Ruon-Jian, were impressed by Ty Lee and Mai when they came to Ember Island. The two decided to invite Ty Lee and Mai to a party at Chan's house, only for Chan to be interrupted by Azula who insisted that she and Zuko also be invited. When Azula and the others arrived at his house, Azula, in an attempt to flirt with Chan, mentioned that his "sharp" outfit was so sharp that "it could puncture the hull of an Empire-Class Fire Nation battle ship, leaving thousands to drown at sea". This "compliment" made him somewhat uncomfortable, and he awkwardly thanked her. Later, after Azula got some flirting tips from Ty Lee, she insisted that Chan give her a tour of the house. He led her out onto the deck and started making a few jokes. Azula complimented Chan on his muscular arms and Chan then moved in and kissed Azula. He called her pretty and she replied with "Together, you and I will be the strongest couple in the entire world! We will dominate the Earth!" coupled with a display of her unique blue flames in an eerie manner. Chan, freaked out and feeling awkward, then made an excuse to leave, leaving Azula disappointed.

Chan really loved his Nana, so when Zuko pushed Ruon-Jian into his Nana's vase, he got very upset and kicked him out. Later that evening, Azula led Zuko and her friends into Chan's house during the party and they severely vandalized it, leaving it a ransacked mess and even leaving Chan in tears.
