Unfortunately, Mai ultimately dies of an illness that not even the best healers in the world can treat as opposed to natural old age.
Of course, throughout her illness, she always insists that she’s perfectly fine.
Footnote: This headcanon is based on the unspoken belief/understanding that Zuko and Mai get married in canon (I PERSONALLY REFUSE TO BELIEVE OTHERWISE UNTIL PROVEN WRONG) and that she dies before him.
“Don’t play God, you will get pregnant, and you will die.”

❝ Truer words have never been spoken.“
Mai was, in a sense, named after her mother Ume.
Both Ume and Mai are types of plum blossoms that grow on trees - the only difference being the region the trees grow in.
Her brother Tom-Tom’s full name is Tomiko, and he’s named after their father.

You know, she’d been thinking its time to liven up the bedroom… is four too many in one bed?
^^^ If you squint at this icon, Mai has a Goatee^^^

YOU’RE JUST JEALOUS BECAUSE WE CAN ROCK IT BETTER THAN YOUR BITCH ASS
