- Roku, it's that girl who didn't even know you were alive!" "Ta Min. I was persistent. When love is real, it finds a way.

Ta Min was a Fire Nation noblewoman, the wife of Avatar Roku, the grandmother of Ursa, and the great-grandmother of Azula and Zuko.

History
Born into one of the wealthiest families in the Fire Nation, Ta Min always thought that she would marry someone in the royal family. However, her beliefs changed when she met Avatar Roku and was attracted to his persistence, kindness, and intelligence. Roku had a crush on Ta Min, but every time he saw her he would become nervous and believed that she did not even know he existed. She was present at Roku and Prince Sozin's birthday when Roku learned of his Avatar status.



Roku and Ta Min ended up marrying each other, with Sozin taking the position of Roku's best man. At the wedding, Sozin asked Ta Min for the permission to borrow Roku for a talk. She replied that was nontraditional, but allowed the Fire Lord to do so.

Roku and Ta Min later had a house on Roku's home island. They must have had at least one child together, as Ursa was their granddaughter, however, their child, or children, were not depicted or mentioned.

One night in 12 BSC on Roku's island, Roku and Ta Min were sleeping when they felt the earth tremble. Hurrying outside, they were met by huge clouds of ash from an erupting volcano. Roku turned and attempted to fight the volcano to give his wife and the other villagers the time to escape. Ta Min waited anxiously on a boat while watching her husband's attempts to stop the lava.

She never stopped loving Roku, even after he died. She never remarried and quietly lived the rest of her days on Ember Island.
