   Summary

   Zuko was only eleven when he met a strange girl that his uncle had taken in.

   Toph was only seven when her home was taken over, only to be whisked away to another nation.

   And Iroh now had a tiny girl with jaded eyes under his care and protection, all for the dying wish of his late son.

    

   In other words, a ward is adopted into the royal family of the Fire Nation. This changes everything but nothing at the same time.
