After the events of A:TLA (and subsequently the sequel comics), Mai begins to be more expressive with the people around her.
However, it’s thanks to the advice and support of Ursa, Iroh, and Avatar Aang himself that Mai is able to transform from “that gloomy girl who sighs a lot” into a compassionate, responsive, and more openly positive Fire Lady.
She still has some issue expressing her feelings from time to time, but at least now she’s not as stoic or melodramatically pointing out negativity.
dxfenseur: lets be real here, maiko would probably be the first to have children out of them and kataang, and if they ever made trips to the air temples or whatever, Aang would totally dress the baby up as an air nomad
monotonxus: OMFGGGGG
dxfenseur: like, whenever mai or zuko isn't looking he just sort of kidnaps the baby
dxfenseur: and comes back with it
dxfenseur: dressed like him
monotonxus: HSDFHDJSF
monotonxus: and Mai isn't sure if she should be amused or angry
dxfenseur: i think the first few times she'd be angry
dxfenseur: but after a while
dxfenseur: it becomes a normal thing
monotonxus: she just doesn't even bother packing extra baby clothes any more
dxfenseur: like the baby goes missing and everyones like 'where's the baby?' and mai would just be like 'Aang.'
dxfenseur: and he'd be a great babysitter lbr
monotonxus: YES OMG
dxfenseur: and by the time Bumi comes around (either him or Kya I can't remember which was the first born) he's a pro at entertaining kids and taking care of them but he's still very panicked cause it's /his own kid/.
dxfenseur: just
dxfenseur: papa aang feels man
monotonxus: Mai returns the favor and puts them in Fire Nation things when she's left with them
dxfenseur: ...
dxfenseur: MAI'S THE REASON BUMI ENDS UP IN THE ARMY/WHATEVER
dxfenseur: IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW
monotonxus: YESSSS OMFG
dxfenseur: SOKKA BEING HIS TRAINER WAS JUST A COVER UP
dxfenseur: THIS ENTIRE TIME IT WAS MAI
