In a world where there is a young traveling zora dancer out in the world trying to make his way...... we make a quick stop at Zora's Domain to check on its recently wed Queen, Sola! As a twin to my art from a couple days ago for Zora May: Roleswap, we have Sola as the heir to King Dorephan and as Mipha's older sister, in a ✨Lionfish Variant!✨ (Which itself is also a reference to this art from a while ago of a Lionfish Zora inspired by concept!mipha's design!)

I am currently sick as a dog so I wasn't able to completely finish it 😭 cowabummer! Hopefully I'll be able to drop other entries for Zora May once I recover!!!

Day 7: Stranger (Yuna feat. Baby Yasuko)

Written for Day 7 of my oc challenge. This one focuses on Yuna, the mother of Yasuko Sato and Asami's maternal grandmother.

From a very early age, Yuna had been taught that the way to survive this life was to expect little and accept most. So when her parents pressured her to marry Tae Joon, the green-eyed illegitimate son of a coal tycoon from the mainland, she agreed without much fuss, though he was older and prone to vice.

When Tae Joon asked for a child, she closed her eyes and imagined Minji’s deft but gentle touch in the place of his sloppy, choppy movements. Then, when Yui came and he still wanted a boy, she let him sweat on top of her until she was with child again.

And when Tae Joon’s father cut him off for squandering their allowance on high-stakes card games and tears of the pyre poppy, Yuna—still heavily pregnant with Yasuko—went to find work in an uptown hair salon, the stability that had been entirely the point ripped from beneath her.

She endured and endured, and likely would have kept it up until the day the sages lit her funeral pyre. But when she came home one day and found baby Yasuko crawling out onto the fire escape and her husband—who had no task but to watch her—slumped over on the couch with his pipe, she knew she had reached the upper limit of what she could accept.

As she yanked her youngest back from what would have been certain death, she remembered how to feel things, how to want. And the first thing she wanted was him gone.

Everyone in Little Caldera knew about Smoke and Mirrors, the base of the Agni Kais, just as they knew about city hall and police headquarters. But going inside was another matter entirely. And doing so with a stroller was a third thing altogether.

Still, Yuna squared her shoulders and walked up to the bouncer.

“Are you lost, Miss?” the burly, rough faced man asked when she approached.

“No, I'm here to see Sola,” she said, the name tasting of strength and danger. Of course she’d heard the stories—the smuggling ring that ran from Yue Bay to Harbor City, the councilmen who changed their votes in accordance to her whims, and of course, those who crossed her and subsequently disappeared.

“You’re not on the list,” he said without bothering to check.

“Yes, well, I was hoping to get on the list. Today, in fact. Preferably before I have to pick up my other daughter and well…” Yuna fumbled around her bag for a moment before pulling out a twenty yuan banknote, which she tried handing to the bouncer. “I don't know if this helps.”

The bouncer sighed. “Lady, take that and buy your kid some milk. Can't believe I'm saying this, but whatever you need, you'd be better off going to the police.”

“The police can't help me. Not with this. Listen, if you'd just let me talk to her I'm sure—”

“The Agni Kai don't take charity cases.”

“Charity? No, I can pay. I have-”

“Miss, I'm gonna have to ask you to leave.”

Yuna had just drawn a breath to argue further when a svelte figure emerged from the smoky doorway. The woman was mainland pretty—red lipped and golden eyed with long black hair in a half topknot.

“Kazi, fuck off and let her through.”

It was somewhat jarring to hear coarse language come out of such a patrician face, but Yuna was given little time to think on it before a long painted nail was beckoning her forward.

“Come inside and have a drink,” the beautiful stranger said, and then disappeared back inside the club, certain that she would be followed.

The club was empty save for a man smoking a cigar at the end of the bar, and a lone bartender in a suit taking inventory. She had little time to take in the endless mirrors that lined the walls or the ornate banquettes with their raised circular booths before the woman in her tall boots and tight black trousers disappeared behind a red curtain.

She then gestured for Yuna to take a seat at a small round table.

“What do you drink?” she asked, walking over to a bar cart.

“Oh, I don't, really.”

“You should start,” she said, and placed a glass of some brown liquor down in front of her. “Drinking is a lot easier than getting rid of your husband.”

Yuna gasped. “H-how did you know I—”

“I know your type.” She gave a casual wave before plopping down into the chair across from Yuna, a far more generous portion of liquor in hand. “So tell me, what did he do to bring you to this point?’’

The question uncoiled something within Yuna and before she could think better of it, the whole ordeal was tumbling out of her. The fire escape and squandered fortune, the arranged marriage and the bad sex, getting caught with Minji and never feeling that same desire for a man, no matter how she tried. At one point she started weeping and was handed a red handkerchief embroidered with a golden sun.

“I'm sorry.” Yuna sniffled towards the end of her tale. “I'm normally not like this, but I just can't have him around my girls anymore.”

The woman sighed, drumming her long fingernails on the table. “The going rate for what you're asking is five thousand yuan. It'd be cheaper to do it yourself. There's an apothecary down on Port Street who keeps arsenic in the back.”

Yuna's brow furrowed. “I don't want Tae Joon dead. I just want him far away from my daughters and I.”

“Dead is cheaper. And more effective on the whole.”

Yuna chewed at her lower lip. “He's their father, I can't…”

“Fifteen thousand and he never sets foot in Republic City again. Half now. Half when he's gone.”

“Right. The thing is I only have three thousand—”

“Oh, sweetheart—”

“But I was hoping that if I could talk to Sola, maybe…” The smile that grew on the woman's face was enough to still Yuna's heart in her chest.

“And just who do you think you've been talking to this whole time? Princess Azula?”

Yuna blinked once, twice, her face going red. “Oh. Oh.”

“You're funny,” the stranger—Sola—said, chuckling. “I like you. Fuck it. Three thousand and a favor someday.”

“Thank you!” Yuna said, more tears threatening to spill. “Thank you for helping me. You won't regret it.”

“I regret it already.” She took a sip of her drink. “Go pick up your other kid. I'll handle the rest.”
