All of my memories keep you near.
In silent moments, Imagining you here
In silent whispers, silent tears

• • The BASICS
name: Ursa
age: Thirty four
gender: Female
sexuality: Heterosexual
status: Refugee sheltering in the North Pole
nation: Fire Nation
ability: Master Fire Bender
affiliation: Zuko and the Avatar, despite the irreconcilability of these two things
• • The EXTERNAL
height & weight: 5'6'' and weighs 110 pounds. She's marginally underweight, but seems to be very healthy.
hair: Waist length, and black. Her hair is very thick and silky.
eyes: a rich golden brown
anything else:
Ursa has the kanji she intended to be used in Zuko's name tattooed on her left shoulder blade. The kanji, when translated, mean Resurrected Rule. (and you can totally shoot this one out of the air, 'tis just an idea)
Very noticeable about her is the way she carries herself. Her back is always straight, her gaze is usually focused upward. There is a certain regality about her, even as an exile.
• • The INTERNAL
one word: Compassionate
the general:
Ursa is a warm, loving, compassionate woman. She cares for other people to an extreme extent. Gentle and protective, Ursa will go out of her way to help others. She believes in the innate good in humans, and rarely loses faith in Man's ability to set things right.
Usually, what people see is the warm, all smiles attitude. However, beneath that gentle surface a certain amount of temper lurks. Her temper is most often unleashed upon those who would harm those that she cares for.
hidden secret: Deep inside, Ursa regrets the way that she favored Zuko over Azula. Yet, she knows that in the end, she cannot change the past, and must meet the present as it is presented.
strongest desire: To be reunited with her son, and to turn him from his father's path.
the past:
- Ursa was born and raised in the Fire Nation capital. Far from tragic, she had the model childhood, right down to being mostly sheltered from the war until she was about fifteen.
- At the age of sixteen she married the Younger Prince, Ozai. Within a year, she gave him his first child, a Son. Two years later, she gave him a daughter as well.
- Tragedy struck the family with Iroh's son, Lu Ten was killed in the Siege of Ba Sing Se. Ursa was twenty six that year - Zuko was only ten. In the events that followed, Ursa killed Azulon (something she still has nightmares about), and was forced to abandon her children to the mercy of Ozai, who would become fire lord.
- Ursa was taken into the Northern Water Tribe at Pakku's insistence that she merely wanted a place to shelter. In the end, they allowed it. She has remained there for the last eight years, and nothing has befallen the tribe. Many of the members have become accustomed to her presence, and while they may not like her, they are not hostile, either.
