Mai's childhood

Watch as Azula noticed that Mai shyly looked at Azula's older brother, Zuko. She then plotted an embarrassing play on them by begging her mother, Ursa, to let her son, Zuko, come play with her, Ty Lee, and Mai. She gets an apple from a tree and places it on Mai's head, who seemed unhappy. The game was to strike the apple with their Firebending, not letting the fire catch on the person's head. Azula blasted some fire from her fingertips, and it caught the stem of the apple on fire. Zuko got worried, believing Mai was in danger and rushed over to her, while his sister Azula and friend Ty Lee only stood smiling at the situation. Mai screaming, Zuko knocked the burning apple off her head, but also knocked each other into the fountain behind them.
Lying on top of each other, Ty Lee and Azula laughed. Azula's plan to ashame Mai's interest in her brother, Zuko, had worked.
Ty Lee even points at them, fascinated at the "couple." Zuko walks off, frustrated & dripping wet as Mai tried to insult the two back, but could not.

When Mai was a young child, her parents ordered her to behave properly, or she would not get what she wanted.

Program used in making this short slideshow: Windows Movie Maker
Music: "Why So Serious?" - Piano part
Performed by: Hans Zimmer & James Newton
Art piece at the end: "As long as I behaved"
Art by: limey404 - member of deviantART
Why make this?: The piano part in the Joker's theme music seemed...innocent. I pictured a childhood where little kids run around the fields, shieking, laughing, playing...
So, I made it into a short slideshow about Mai in her childhood. This was the only scene involving Mai from the flashbacks.

@ABlindLie

The adults? The artist drew them that way to obscure their faces and focus more on lonely Mai. Or, as you see it, I guess it can also symbolize how she wasn't allowed to speak to anyone unless they talked to her, making her feel invisible or something.

@Nimiko

I think it was her stupid parents, since Mai once confessed that all her childhood, her parents ordered her to sit still and not speak unless spoken to. That's probably why she's so bored all the time.

No it's the other way around, zuko is older

@Sunzu49 Yeah the Ember Island episode in Book 3 I think. Withdrawn rather than bored I'd say, plus it was her mothers influence as her father was career orientated so more or less out of the picture with that by the sound of things.

She's the ugliest girl on the show,I'm not kidding.Plain would be polite.

But she's dangerous,I love that about all the girls on the show,but that she makes up for her personality and looks with that danger - It's HOT.So hot.
