^Actually, Sunburst isn't forgetting anything.

This is coming from a converstion we were involved in the other day about ascesion to the throne. We do not know how exactly it works, wheter or not the title goes to eldest child or eldest male child. For instance in England Princess Anne would be the last of Elizabeth II children to ascend to the throne as the is a male preference over her. She follows behind her two younger brothers, and their familes, should something happen to Prince Charles and his heirs.

In terms of the Fire Nation we do not know if there is a male preference. Sunburst means to say that since we do not know the past fire lords (excluding Ozai) are truly the eldest child or the eldest sons in their families. If Fire Lord Azulon had an elder sister then the rights to ascend are based on male preference, however, if he is the eldest child than the right to the throne are based on senority and not gender preferences.
