park jiyeon. cis female. she/her. presenting lady tai haeui, twenty-nine-year-old firebender loyal to house tai. resilient yet escapist, they find themself impartial to fire lord chaeseong’s reign. will this be their salvation or their undoing ?
update two!! i have a bigger arc for haeui so please please come plot with me for her!! again, i don’t plan on dropping any threads but you can let me know if you wanna drop or update any that we have! please like this i’ll come running to your dms 🥺
UPDATE
haeui’s getting a little courage upgrade!! at the very least, her allegiances have switched from blind (and fearful) following of house ryu and the fire lord to realising that power will corrupt, no matter your hopes for it </3 baby’s first act of bravery was to escape (not quite) the ryus - which wasn’t difficult considering everything that was happening, and return home!
she watches flames create destruction and death and starts finding it difficult to see beauty in her element. but instead of running away to the northern water tribe, haeui stays rooted in dragonstone - something about the circumstances now make it impossible for her to abandon her country. not when the princes who want to rule it are murdering the very people they’re trying to rule over!
by virtue of being in the north and the furthest away from the fighting, dragonstone was the best place to become a haven/neutral ground. haeui decides to shelter those from the southern regions regardless of allegiance within dragonstone, though their presence is not necessarily known to her family (to be plotted when she’s not the only tai skelly! maybe it’s a family thing too)
so this is what haeui’s doing in the wartime - a determined endeavor to carve out just a little bit of peace and safety for anyone who needs it. she won’t turn anyone away, but those who enter dragonstone need to put down their arms and their wars if they want to live here, and she’s toughened up enough that that rule is strictly enforced
CONNECTIONS
someone who’s helping her keep dragonstone safe, or with healing/providing food/anything that keeps their port going! i imagine they’d hold similar opinions on the war, but they don’t have to be doing this for her altruistic reasons
or someone who’s taken shelter in dragonstone! she could know them from the past, but they could also be total strangers to her?
insert brainstorming here... haeui’s definitely a little more grounded and daring now, so i’d love to do other plots that could tap on that development hehe
