Mai and Bato =Mato The pros to Mato would be 1. They would look good together 2. They might get along 3. They might like hunting together. The Cons. 1. Bato is to old 2. Mai is easily bored and the south pole would probably bore her. 3. Mai belongs with Zuko XD

Mai and Bato, huh? Well, I don’t think they’d work together at all. Bato is too old for Mai, he probably has some kind of grudge against her people, and his life of hunting in the cold and eating sea prunes is defiantly not for her. Plus, Bato belongs with Hakoda.
Also, I have to agree with femble and say that Zhao/Azula is much better than Zhao/Mai. But we’re not on Zhao yet so.

If I may interrupt... Anyone who's bought the Season 3 DVD Box Set, do they mention Mai in this famous Women of Avatar segment? Ionly ask cause I'm with Grey Delisle; Mai's my favorite female character, too.

Mai is easily bored and the south pole would probably bore her. 3. Mai belongs with Zuko XDSomehow I get the feeling you'll be saying The Cons #3 for all the survivors on the list XD Mai and Bato, huh? Well, I don’t think they’d work together at all. Bato is too old for Mai, he probably has some kind of grudge against her people, and his life of hunting in the cold and eating sea prunes is defiantly not for her. Plus, Bato belongs with Hakoda.Also, I have to agree with femble and say that Zhao/Azula is much better than Zhao/Mai. But we’re not on Zhao yet so. Ok, when we get to Zhao, I'll sure to remember this. I guess one of the cons could be the Zhao/Azula is better than Zhao/Mai. Hmmm...by putting the pros and cons together, it would seem that the cons are much greater than the pros...so does everyone agree on crossing out Bato? Or shall I save the elimination for later? Or maybe I can place each of your pro and cons ideas next to each of the names and then later, we can decide who to eliminate. So for Bato: 3 Pros - 1) They would look good together 2) They might get along 3) They might like hunting together. < 4 Cons - 1) Bato is to old 2) Mai is easily bored and the south pole would probably bore her. 3) He probably has some kind of grudge against her people 4) His life of hunting in the cold and eating sea prunes is defiantly not for her Next character on the list is Aang. (Somehow, I can't get myself to picture Mai and him together XD) So one of the cons would most definitely be that they don't look good together and that Aang's personality is quite the opposite of Mai's but perhaps Aang's love of fun could be a good thing for Mai since she gets bored easily and Aang could bring fun to her life? I dunno, what are your ideas guys?

^Alright, sounds like something I could add to the cons list. It's really hard to picture Aang and Mai together. Everytime I think about them together in a romantic relationship, it makes me lol XD loralit.deviantart.com/art/ATLA-OTP-yeah-right-XD-71467661Nah, I definitely can't XD But who knows? Maybe it could work? Perhaps a relationship could work between Mai and Aang? Anyone have any ideas how it would? I was looking for some Mai/Aang pictures and while I was looking, I found this but I haven't seen any adult Aang/Mai pictures anywhere...has anyone seen one? Perhaps I'll just put these two pictures next to eachother, Older Aang with Mai: artavias.deviantart.com/art/Adult-Aang-Visits-Malaysia-64811253jdeberge.deviantart.com/art/Mai-60994348I must say, they look good together when I look at these pictures of them side to side.

Yeah, if people can't think of pros for Bato/Mai then they probably won't think of any later. As for Aang/Mai, I don't think so. It amuses me because it would totally be a Zutarain's dream and they're so opposite but that's about it. Going by his interactions with Toph, I doubt he'd get Mai's sense of humor. And going by Mai's interaction with Ty Lee, I doubt Mai would get Aang's happy go lucky attitude too well. Though here is a platonic sketch by DS-Hina among other sketches (like Goku/Chi-Chi OTP4lyfe <3).

Alright, I'll be crossing Bato off the list then. Sounds like Aang should be crossed off as well so I'll go ahead and do that. There are so many reasons as to why Maiaang wouldn't work and it seems difficult to really think of any reasons as to why it would work. You're right about them being very opposite. I can't think of anything that they would share in common but even if there were things that they shared in common, it would be greatly outmatched by the things that they don't share in common. So it's a definite cross out for sure. That idea about Ty Lee being happy go lucky made me think about how Aang and Ty Lee would make a good match since they both are happy go lucky. As for the artwork you posted, I remember reading about that in Sozin's Comet so I get what you mean when you said platonic sketch. And heh...he...Goku and Chi-Chi is an awesome couple for sure. That's a cute drawing of them. EDIT: Next on the list...Blue Spirit Wait a minute! That's Zuko! So I suppose I should cross him off the list as well. Otherwise we'd know who would definitely be the perfect match for Mai on the list EDIT 2: Alright, how about Azula? I have no say in this but if anyone wants to talk about the pros and cons about a relationship between them, type away

I don't see Mai and Aang working out but it already got crossed out.
So Mai/Blue spirit I'm all for it. There both ninja like and its Zuko. XD
I really have no opinion on Mai/Azula other than I would fear for Mai's life.

That's a cute drawing of them. *nod* Mai and Aang wouldn't match together at all but I do think that bit in Sozin's Comet was adorable. Even if it was a little kids' book, Aang doesn't think about girls other than Katara being pretty too often. And, aww, glad to see someone agree on a classic couple. Dude, Blue Spirit/Mai would be so hot. It would have the good personality meshes of Maiko and some added adventure. But the Blue Spirit really is Zuko so... no. And I agree with femble about Mai/Azula. That relationship is already dysfunctional enough as it is so go ahead and cross it out. As for the Earth King (he is next on the list), I actually think he’d make an okay match for Mai. Kuei is dorky, stubborn, and so is like Zuko without all the baggage.

XD I really have no opinion on Mai/Azula other than I would fear for Mai's life. And the winner of Mai Elimination Date Z is Blue Spirit ^_^ Heh...he...without even having to go through and eliminate the others, we know who on this is completely perfect for Mai heh...he...but I had him crossed out because you know, he's Zuko XD He's already perfect for Mai (Now that I think about it, I have never seen some artwork with the Blue Spirit and Mai together. That would make for one nice piece of artwork for sure). "I would fear for Mai's life" made me lol. Mai/Azula would not work out for sure and Azula might end up doing something really terrible to Mai (but then again, she almost did in TBR if Ty Lee had not saved her). *nod* Mai and Aang wouldn't match together at all but I do think that bit in Sozin's Comet was adorable. Even if it was a little kids' book, Aang doesn't think about girls other than Katara being pretty too often. And, aww, glad to see someone agree on a classic couple. That's true, I haven't seen him think about how pretty other girls are other than Katara. But yeah, it wouldn't work out for sure since they are so different from one another. Heh...he...they are a great couple. It's kind of cute how Chi Chi gets angry at Goku sometimes but you know it's love heh...he...^_^ Dude, Blue Spirit/Mai would be so hot. It would have the good personality meshes of Maiko and some added adventure. But the Blue Spirit really is Zuko so... no. And I agree with femble about Mai/Azula. That relationship is already dysfunctional enough as it is so go ahead and cross it out. As for the Earth King (he is next on the list), I actually think he’d make an okay match for Mai. Kuei is dorky, stubborn, and so is like Zuko without all the baggage. Blue Spirit and Mai together doing some ninja adventures together would be a cool thing to see. Alrighty then, I'll have Azula crossed out from the list. Earth King...hmmm...what makes him an okay match for Mai? Hmmm...if they were in a relationship perhaps he might end up paying more attention to Bosco more than her XD Anyways, we know that the Earth King can't seem to make his own decisions and relies on others to make his decisions for him. And I think Mai is a very decisive person so I suppose the decisive aspect of her personality could help the Earth King make his decisions. So that would make for one pro for a relationship between them. But is there anything that Mai and the Earth King have in common that would help build a good relationship between them? Is there aspects of their personalities that are similar? The Earth King does love excitement in his life such as how he left the group (shown in the Awakening) to explore the world and we know that Mai gets bored easily and likes to have something to do. Although, the things that the Earth King finds fun and exciting might not be the same as the things that Mai finds fun and exciting. I mean, I can't imagine Mai riding on Appa and expressing how much fun she is having but then again now that I remember, Mai does like having fun. If you had read the comic of Zuko and Mai after the Crossroads of Destiny, you could see how she has a side of her that likes fun. How about romance between the two? Mai does have a romantic and sweet side to her as we have seen in Nightmares and Daydreams. As for the Earth King, well we haven't seen anything in the series that shows how he could be a romantic person. But then again, he can be affectionate...but problem is, that's toward Bosco and I don't want to compare a bear to Mai XD Now that I think about it, what does Mai find in Zuko that she likes? Perhaps we could look at her relationship with Zuko as a basis of making decisions on who is a perfect match for Mai? EDIT: Somehow, I'm kind of thinking the Earth King stays on the list. But let's see... PROS: For decisiveness, sharing fun and excitement, CONS: Bear attention, UNCERTAIN: Romance (But I could imagine them doing something romantic like how Mai and Zuko did in the Headband, picnic and watching the sunset...I could imagine that between Mai and the Earth King). Mai seems to enjoy it and the Earth King seems to be the type to enjoy that kind of thing. Do you agree with the Pros and Cons I have listed? Any other ideas for Pros and Cons?

Alrightey....I've been reading along in this thread for a while (and have been confused a lot lol) but this is my opinion on this list: Bato - He's too random for my taste. They have no connection at all and it's just weird. Aang - I kind of like this one. It's not just to get rid of the Aang in Kataang and the Mai in Maiko so Zutara could happen either. They're such opposites and I can just see Aang bugging Mai all the time and it's funny - definitely a crack pairing though. Blue Spirit - I ship the Blue Spirit with almost anyone, even if it's Maiko. I love Blue Spirit ships. It makes me laugh. Azula - Don't like this one. I like both Mai and Azula better with Ty Lee. Earth King - LOL XD I'm reading a fanfic when Kuei is trying to get Toph to love him and I don't like that at all. He seems a lot older in my mind than he really is, but Mai/Kuei is kind of cool in a way. >.> Hahn - Ooooo I like this one! There's just something about it that is drawing me too it. Haru - Ty Lee fits Haru much better IMO. Hakoda - No way. ;D Jet Mongke Ozai Piandao Ruon-Jian Sokka Teo Suki Xin Fu Ty Lee Yu Yan Archers Zhao Eh I'm tired - I'll finish the rest later. ;D

Indeed. I thought it was great how Chi-Chi didn’t care that he was the strongest fighter in the universe and was totally okay with calling him out on his stupidity. Lulz, that’s enough of DBZ though. I think it’s personality that could be good for Mai. Using what “Mai likes Zuko” thing you mentioned (which I think we should be using), Mai seems like that Zuko cares so much. Sure, it could get bad sometimes (see: The Beach) but caring about people made him different from most in the Fire Nation. And Mai seems like boys dorky. When Zuko tried to be smooth (see: The Headband) she was pretty endeared by it. So, The Earth King kind of fits those qualities. After he realized he was being controlled by Long Feng, he cared and did things to change it. And, as for dorky, I could see him getting punched in the face trying to defend the honor of a girl he likes. Though you are right: the attention the Earth King gives Bosco would be a problem. He loves that bear so much and Mai defiantly does not. Ever since they were little people dictated them so they could rise in power. That could be something for them to bond over that Mai couldn’t do with Zuko. Yeah, I do. For more, pro: the bonding I mentioned. Con: Mai would not be up for rebuilding the Earth Kingdom. Also, I’m going to go down the list like nymphadora did to save time. Hahn – No. Hahn is so self centered and was only in his relationship for the perks. That is not good for Mai. Haru – Honestly, I think the most interesting thing about Haru is his mustache. Mai needs to feel and Haru would defiantly not make her do that. Hakoda – No, and for the same reasons as Bato. Jet – Yes. I think Mai would be good with someone like Jet. You know, someone who breaks away from the rules. Maybe he could help her express herself without fear. And maybe if Jet got some comforting from a girl of the Fire Nation, he could get over what had happened to him. Mongke – No. He’s the typical, ruthless Fire Nation general. That’s, like, the exact opposite of what Mai needs. Ozai – Oh, this could be a really interesting AU fic. But as a lasting relationship, no. Ozai seemingly doesn’t care for anyone at all (though I would argue for Ursa) and is obsessed with power. Again, not good for Mai. Piandao – Hmm, well they’d be pretty together and he does have that caring aspect Mai needs. But he’s so old that it’d be gross. So… no. Ruon-Jian – Lulz, no. Ruon-Jian was just a plot device to bring out the Mai/Zuko episodes in The Beach. Sokka – Yes. They’re both the sarcastic, non-benders of their groups. Sokka could get Mai to laugh/like him (with his reaction in The Boling Rock, I’d bet he thinks she’s attractive) and Mai would be all “…” but slowly warm up to it. Teo – No, and for the same reasons as Aang. Suki – Yes. They’re both strong and confident warrior women. Plus, I think both need to have some adventures beyond their boyfriends. Xin Fu – No. Xin Fu is little more than a thug so he wouldn’t be good for anyone. Ty Lee – Yes. Ty Lee and Mai’s personalities make an interesting combination and Ty Lee is one of the few people who really cares about Mai. Yu Yan Archers – No. The Yu Yuan Archers didn’t speak so you can’t pair them with anyone because of their lack of personality. Zhao – No, and for the same reasons as Hahn. Also, there’s the age difference.

And, as for dorky, I could see him getting punched in the face trying to defend the honor of a girl he likes. Though you are right: the attention the Earth King gives Bosco would be a problem. He loves that bear so much and Mai defiantly does not. Yeah, Mai seems to love how he's so caring and in the past he had showed her how he cared about her when they were just children and he probably might have done that quite a lot in their past. And true, he is quite unique from other people of the FN...and Zuko is very dorky and she loves that for sure. I remember reading the comic and how she seemed amused at the fact that Zuko went by the name "Lee" and possibly thought it was quite dorky of him to call himself that (It was quite dorky as well as funny how he mentioned it in the eppie where he first mentioned that name to Song). Now that I think about the comic again, I remember how both Zuko and Mai were quite irritated at the music those bus boys (I think they are bus boys at least) were playing and I'm sure that the Earth King gets to listen to that kind of music all the time such as during parties or whatnot. And it seems as though he would enjoy that kind of music. So does it sound reasonable to add to the cons that Mai doesn't like music and that the Earth King likes music? Alright, putting together all the Pros and Cons we came up with... PROS: For decisiveness, sharing fun and excitement, Earth King caring for her (which I'm thinking is somewhat negligable because of the fact that he might end up casting his cares upon the bear more than Mai so I'm not sure if I should count this as a pro. So I guess I'll just disregard this unless anyone objects to that), Earth King being dorky, Both lived dictated lives causing a bond Mai and Earth King could share. CONS: Bear attention, Mai disliking the bear, age difference, Earth King liking music and Mai does not, Mai not being up to rebuilding the Earth Kingdom. Looks like the pros = cons 5 to 5 so we'll have to keep the Earth King on the list (either permanently or temporarily but we'll see later) Aang - I kind of like this one. It's not just to get rid of the Aang in Kataang and the Mai in Maiko so Zutara could happen either. They're such opposites and I can just see Aang bugging Mai all the time and it's funny - definitely a crack pairing though. Heh...he...that would make for a funny comic. I like funny comics By the way, good idea for the whole listing of the names with reasons why they would or would not be a perfect match for Mai. @analeisa: Thanks for the list. That is a good way of saving time. Earth King - LOL XD I'm reading a fanfic when Kuei is trying to get Toph to love him and I don't like that at all. He seems a lot older in my mind than he really is, but Mai/Kuei is kind of cool in a way. >.> That Earth King/Toph fanfic sounds kind of scary. MAIKODA is love. Mai and the earth King In some ways it seems ok and then I really can't see it. So what would make Hakoda a perfect match for Mai? I'll get into that once I start making a list on pros and cons. It's hard to see but by the looks of things, it seems like it could work. I'll have to think about Earth King/Mai a bit more later since pros and cons are tied. I'll be making a list later so I'll be sure to add any pros and cons you've guys have listed for pros and cons for each of the eligible survivors. I'll either modify this post or post a new post if it is possible for me to post another later.
