Ruon-Jian

"fire"

- Have fun by yourself, loser boy!

Ruon-Jian was Chan's best friend since they were kids. He was similarly confident and conceited and acted like a jaded rock star. He often communicated with just a flip of his hair or a subtle shrug. He was part of the Fire Nation elite on Ember Island.

History
When Zuko, Azula, Ty Lee, and Mai arrived on Ember Island, Ruon-Jian and Chan were very impressed by Ty Lee's appearances and skill during a game of kuai ball. Chan invited her to attend the party he threw at his house that evening and Ruon-Jian extended the invitation to Mai. Azula managed to get herself and her brother invited as well by Chan with the approval of Ruon-Jian.

Arriving early at the party, Ruon-Jian gave the foursome a warm welcome, much to Zuko's annoyance. The prince of the Fire Nation acted very jealous on Ruon-Jian's comment, asked Mai what she thought of him and accused her of liking him after saying that she didn't have any opinion about him. Later, Zuko's irritation was increased to a breaking point when he saw Ruon-Jian talking with Mai after he had left to get her some food. The jealous Zuko quickly intervened by pulling Ruon-Jian away from Mai. After he fixed his hair, Ruon-Jian tried to reason with Zuko by telling him that he should relax as it was "just a party." Zuko didn't take this comment well and he pushed him into Chan's Nana's vase. As Zuko left the party, Ruon-Jian taunted him by calling him a "loser boy."

Trivia

 * Ruon-Jian's name was humorously derived from the name of the surfing company "Ron Jon", a famous surf shop located along the southern New Jersey shore.
 * The fight between Ruon-Jian and Zuko caused a temporary split between Zuko and Mai.
