School Year: 7th

Personality:

Zuko’s personality is much a product of his past experiences. Victim of a life of countless struggles and hardships, it is no wonder he’s got a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

One thing to be noted about Zuko’s personality is his unfaltering determination, no matter what’s thrown at him. He’s a fighter, and certainly not one to give up easily. That being said, his fierce drive has often been the cause of reckless abandon; though through maturity he has learned to restrain himself from such outbursts.

Zuko’s dedicated ambition, unfortunately, has given him a rather tenuous grasp of the word ‘fun’. While other students would laugh and play, he’d use free time to focus on bettering himself and his skills. This is partly a result of his father’s oppression and favouritism of his prodigious sister Azula; for the majority of his life it had been his single-minded goal to gain his father’s acceptance.

Impatience is probably one of his biggest faults, and he has a tendency to snap at the slightest of provocations. It doesn’t take much for him to give in to frustration, but his unbreakable tenacity only leads to his trying harder.


He also has a great sense of honour, which he considers to be a key asset to one’s being. Unfortunately for the majority of his life his father (yet again) had imbued him with a corrupt understanding of the notion, but he’s finally hit a turning point in his life where his own outlook is taking charge.


Background:

In his own father’s words, Zuko was lucky to be born. Ozai, a merciless politician, only expected the best from his children; perfection, even. While his younger sister Azula more than pleased him, Zuko could never quite live up to his standards. Consequentially his father all but ignored him, while Azula did nothing but torment him. It seemed the only safe haven was at his mother’s side, who cherished him above anything.

Even at the news of Zuko’s acceptance into Hogwarts, Ozai graced him with hardly more than a nod. After all, it was only natural his offspring would get into the finest school in the country. And, it was only natural his son was an exceptional good, hard-working student.

A few years into Hogwarts, his father finally offered him a chance to sit in on one of his political meetings. Zuko was more than thrilled, hopeful of the opportunity to meet his approval. But it was not to be. The committee, a group of radical purists, had been discussing a plot to overthrow the Ministry, involving the potential (and desirable, even) massacre of mudbloods and indulgent purebloods alike. This did not sit well with Zuko, who was quick to speak out against the mercilessly nonsensical killing.

Ozai, outraged at his blatant disrespect, challenged him to a duel. Zuko refused, begging for forgiveness, but his father was remorseless. He did not hesitate to inflict him with a blast of fire, leaving a scar that would forever remind him of his foolish treachery.

He was then sent to live with his Uncle Iroh; incidentally probably the best thing that ever happened to him. Under the teachings of the wise old man he continued to strive for acceptance by his father, a seemingly impossible feat now that he had enraged him so.

Eventually by some miracle, likely a scheme concocted by Azula, he was welcomed back to the family during his 7th year, to take up a role by his father’s side once more. Not long after his return Zuko realized just why he had never seen eye to eye with Ozai. The purist radicals’ ideals, anything but moral, outright appalled him.

And so he took his leave, never again to return to the atrocity that was his so-called family.
