I didn't care for her character at all. She was just boring. I'm interested though about that smile she gave when Ty Lee mentioned Zuko's name. I wonder if they have a history together. No worries though. I really can't see him falling for her. I think that she is way too evil for him. He needs a nice girl.....a girl like Katara perhaps....... I don't think she was boring, she actually provided the show with a lot of action but she's a girl who needs to get out more. Why: Mai: "And I thought my life was boring in the firenation but this place is unbearingly bleak..."She needs to participate in more battles and simply have fun. Yeah I agree that perhaps Mei&Zuko is a one-sided romance on Mei's behalf. Why are all the relationships one-sided??!!! She probably had a secret crush she told to Ty Lee when they were studying together in the all girls royal fire academy. He-he I like the last part of your post. Zuko totally needs someone to wake him up with a bucket of ice cold water and who better for the job than Katara, the waterbender!

Well don't jump the gun. We don't know that Mai/Zuko is one-sided and there's nothing in canon to logically make us believe one way or another.
I, personally, am hoping that it's not one-sided at all. So much more interesting that way.

No evidence for both sides of the argument yet , but in all truth I don't care either way. Mai is a good new addition to the shows cast , but 1 emo is enough.

Personally, I don't think either one of them is really cool. Ty lee doesn't really fit in with the group because she's way too nice. Mai is just annoying (in my opinion anyway).

You know, stereotyping is really not all that great. Nor is labeling. I know several "goths" who are hilarious and happy. Why do you think Disney Channel movies suck?
This reminds me of that moronic person on FFN that posted a giant stereotypical fanfic. It's actually almost as bad.
You guys do know that the "no bashing" rule applies everywhere, right? Cuz, character bashing is just as bad as pairing bashing.
Mai will be an interesting character to learn about, given her tone about the world and all.

Mai will be an interesting character to learn about, given her tone about the world and all. Exactly. We can't judge her fully based on the few scenes we saw her in. (just like you can't judge a show by one episode) And last I checked "emo" is shorthand for "emotional". :/

I like the girl. Maybe not her design (how the heck does she get her hair like that???) but she's an interesting character and I like her choice of weaponry. Plus I'm a sucker for emo/angst.
But the long black nails are definitely scary.

Uhm, yeah. What lychii said.
Emo is actually supposed to mean that a person is emotional and oversensitive and melodramatic (and is very far from its origin in hardcore punk rock but I digress).
It's a very separate and distinctly different thing from goth also.

It's all I wanted in the series. One dark, shady, depressed, and sarcastic character to make the show even better. I love it. I love dark...THough I seem like Ty Lee on the forums, I'm a Mai in real life...

EMO is a shortened acronym because all the words it represents are just to great in number. For example annoying, stupid, lame, boring etc Oh, I didn't know that. I've heard of EMO but never really knew what it stood for. I guess you could call her an EMO. I just think that the writers drew her in such a way because they wanted to depict the fire nation as evil and dark.

But the long black nails are definitely scary. Good question, how does she get her hair like that I'm hoping the writers will bring her character out more as she appears in more episodes. Then maybe I can get a better judge of her character.

I could've sworn I saw her reach into her jacket w/ her right and pulled it out w/ her left. But I can't find the clip or screenshots.
