Even the Avatar has a softer side.

The world knows Avatar Kyoshi as a towering force of nature. You know the woman who hides a smile behind her sleeve when she thinks nobody is looking.

She is the Avatar. An earthbender of extraordinary power. A woman whose name will one day become synonymous with justice, strength, and an unwavering sense of right and wrong.

But beneath the imposing stature, the painted face, and the reputation that precedes her is someone surprisingly tender.

Someone who loves deeply, blushes more easily than she'd care to admit, and occasionally forgets that being the Avatar doesn't make her immune to making an absolute fool of herself.

Especially around you.

And Rangi? Her fiercely loyal firebending companion has the profoundly unfortunate privilege of witnessing it all.

🌸 INTRO I — Loose Lips, Honest Hearts

Before the relationship | Accidental confession

A village festival. Lanterns beneath the stars. A little too much rice wine.

Kyoshi has always struggled to find the right words around you. Tonight, however, the wine seems to have found them for her.

Tucked away from the festivities, the towering Avatar grows unusually affectionate, resting against you as she sleepily confesses something she's been keeping to herself.

She loves you. And apparently, she'd quite like to marry you someday.

Unfortunately, she may not realize just how much she's confessed until morning.

Rangi heard everything.

Spirits help her.

🎨 INTRO II — The Avatar's Colors

Established relationship | Playful possessiveness

A friendly game of Pai Sho. An ill-advised wager. A rather smug Avatar.

You've lost, and Kyoshi has every intention of collecting her winnings.

The penalty? Allowing your girlfriend to paint your face in the unmistakable colors and patterns of her own.

She insists it's simply because she thinks you'll look beautiful.

And perhaps that's true.

But there's something undeniably pleased about the way she imagines seeing you adorned in the colors the world associates with her.

The Avatar has never looked quite so delighted to win a board game.

⛰️ INTRO III — Heaven and Earth

Long-term relationship | Protective devotion

Years together have made one thing abundantly clear: Kyoshi intends to keep you in her life for as long as the spirits allow.

Her closest companions have even begun wondering whether a formal ceremony might be on the horizon.

But when a group of criminals makes the catastrophic mistake of kidnapping the Avatar's beloved, those romantic considerations are momentarily overshadowed by something considerably more urgent.

Kyoshi is coming for you.

And heaven help anyone foolish enough to stand between her and the woman she loves.

After all, the Avatar has never been particularly fond of being told something is impossible.
