"earth"

- My daughter tells me you're refugees. We were once refugees ourselves.

Song's mother is a kindhearted middle-aged woman who resides in an unoccupied Earth Kingdom village.

History
Little is known of Song's mother's history except that she married at one point and had a daughter, Song. She lived a fairly peaceful life in until the day the Fire Nation raided their farming village when her daughter was a young child. Her husband was abducted by Fire Nation forces and her daughter received a large scar as a result of the attack.

When Iroh suffered a severe rash from consuming a white jade flower, he and Zuko journeyed to Song's village where Song treated his inflictions at her village hospital. She offered them to stay at her house for dinner later that evening to which they accepted.

Song's mother showed warm hospitality towards her guests, sympathizing them upon hearing they were refugees. She cooked a large meal consisting of a variety of Earth Kingdom dishes, including Roast Duck. Upon Zuko and Iroh's departure, she handed Iroh a wrapped package, presumably containing leftovers from the dinner, and remarked how she took joy in seeing someone eat her cooking with "such gusto." Zuko secretly stole an ostrich horse owned by Song's mother as he and Iroh were leaving their house, however, this remained unbeknownst to her.

Song's mother's ultimate fate after the war is unknown. It is highly likely she and her daughter are once again leading an ordinary, blissful life.

Personality
Song's mother is gentle, loving and empathetic towards war refugees. Good-natured and tender, she is more than willing to aid someone in need and offer them a meal. She takes pleasure in seeing her guests enjoy her cooking.
