Zuko was the banished prince of the fire nation but now he is the fire lord. Surely somebody like that wouldn't want anything to do with you right? WRONG! after a fight over a secret causes zuko and his girlfriend to break up he surprisingly turns t...
You're a normal fire nation citizen. Not a bender of any element. Your family (father) owns a pretty unpopular Sushi bar. Your father is your only living parent and the crippling debt of trying to run the restaurant was constantly threatening to run you out of business. Today you knew that men from the city would come to collect the shop rent and you knew that lack of business in the shop had you short on cash. The men had never threatened your family before but this time you couldn't pay them and you wondered what would happen.
It turns out the men weren't nearly as forgiving as you had hoped and ended up being extreme debt collector types. In the end you ended up being led out of the shop by the men with your father crying in the shop shouting that he promised to gather the money to get you back. he of course blamed the fire lord's ridiculous business taxes on this.
"where are you taking me?" you mumbled glancing up slightly at one of the taller men.
"we work for a firm that provides housekeeping for the palace." The man replies. "you're going to clean up and work off your father's debt cleaning the palace."
"the fire lord's palace?" you gulp and look at the ground. "I-I couldn't."
"well you don't have a choice." The man replies. "you work for whoever we say you work for."
You had heard many rumors that during fire lord Ozai's rule most of the palace staff had either been laid off or killed. You know that since the war ended Ozai's son Zuko took the throne, but you had to wonder if things had actually gotten better. As far as you knew several villagers including your father had been actively supporting the release of Ozai from prison as they believed he made the fire nation strong. You disagreed strongly with that opinion but chose to stay out of your father's business.
You're left too clean yourself in the bathroom. Afterwards you exit through the second door from the bathroom into a bedroom where you're greeted with another woman who then begins measuring you. After your fitted with a proper outfit she does your hair in a blue band, then you're taken to the palace through a staff entrance. "I'm not the only one here am i?" you ask as the man who was with you leaves.

"yeah. that's something you may have to get used to. Now get to work." He grumbles and leaves through the large door.
"but I don't know my way around!?" you protest. You wait a bit to see if he'll come back and give you directions. 'I can't believe he just left me here in the palace with no directions or even a map!?' you frown and begin wandering the halls. 'where am I supposed to go? I've never been here before.'
You walk down the hall until you come to a dead end in the hall which displays a large hanging tapestry with Ozai on it. 'oh goodness that's frightening.' You mutter to yourself. You sigh and turn halfway around. "I'm so lost I don't even know which way the exit is." You turn around and come face to face with shiny yellow gold eyes one of which is horribly burnt. "AH!?!?" you scream eyes wide as you fall backwards onto the floor on your butt.
