#oh i should figure out how to draw things with kaya and bumi

[chiptrillino]

Aight, Izumi being sharp witted enough to argue effectively for lilypad frogs is incredible. I died laughing. Are there other petitions she has succeeded at?

Oh! Uh... aham –coughs and rasps and unfurls parchment roll-

Crown princess izumi, daughter of fire lord zuko, first of her name, protector of lily pad frogs, smuggler of turtle-duckling in her bed, the night owl, the giggling shadow, the moonpeach spirit, official colourist of her fathers block print illustrated theater books and court walls, breaker of shins and the fearless hairstylist of dragon manes.

Due to her young age of 8 years, the princess couldn’t achieve many victories by now but agreed to some truce with her father Fire lord Zuko. Which would be:

The absence of a sibling. After visiting Tenzin the first airbender, son of diplomat Katara of the southern water tribe and avatar Aang of the southern air temple. The princess, age 8, demands a sibling like her friends Kaya and Bumi II have. She argued to have someone to play with. The demand turned quickly unattractive after realizing that, and I quote: „Babies are icky and gross and loud.“ And she prefers to not share her father any more than she already has to.

The scheduled time for bed and sleep. Princess Izumi reasoned that, due being the princess of the fire nation, she should sleep when the sun sets, and wake up when the sun rises. Given the position of the fire nation in the world, fire lord zuko and former prince iroh argued that it would be way too late for the princess to sleep and early to wake up. Instead of continuing to argue with his daughter, fire lord zuko decided to let the princess try. After 5 days, the princess realised that sleep is too precious to give up. The current schedule is to go to bed by 8:30 pm, but to sleep around 9:30 pm. Princess Izumi naturally wakes up a few hours before sunrise and joins her fathers bed to cuddle through the rest of the morning til it is indeed time to get up.

Her personal office in the library. Princess Izumi may already has a room dedicated for her personal studies and hobbies. But the princess mentioned repeatedly that she would prefer to have easier access to her favorite books all the time. Because she can’t move most of the literature and natural science section of the library to her personal rooms, she requested to arrange a permanent office for her to stay. Due to the fact that the library should be accessible to all staff of the palace, and the librarian is not really fond of the idea of a small princess living there, (doesn’t matter how quiet she is, or promises to not sneak food in, while having still sticky fingers form the sweets she just ate) it came to the truce, to build a cozy corner dubbed „Izumi's office“ in the library. Where the princess can retreat to. It is a collection of various pillows and the curtains position changed to create a cozy tent to retreat to and have her peace.

Dragons can’t sleep in a bed, and neither do turtle-ducklings or lily-pad-frogs. Princess Izumi repeatedly tried to bring animals to sleep with her in bed. The truce now brought by princess azula was, here i quote: „Well you can’t tell a dragon what to do and what not to do. and Druk likes to check on you at night. So let's say, he sees the duckling or the frog there. I doubt he minds a midnight snack-“ Fire lord zuko's dark look didn’t detain his sister's small sharp smile, while the princess begann crying and refuses now to let Druk (or any other animal) to sleep in her bed for their safety. (Druk is not happy about this arrangement. Druk now sleeps at the foot of the princess bed but misses the nights he was allowed to snuggle to the princess)

Debates princess Izumi won:

Staying over for a sleepover, in republic city, for a prolonged time of an entire week. My or may not have had assistence by Diplomat Katara of the Southern Water Tribe, Avatar Aang of the southern Air temple, and their kids Bumi and Kaya. After the guaranteed safety by the word of Avatar Aang, and the fire lords sceptical acceptance. Princess Izumi stayed on Air temple island for an additional week before returning to the fire nation on the back of Avatar Aang's trusted companion, the sky bison Appa. On her fathers question, if the princess had fun. The princess excitedly told him about bedgeer-moles, sabertooth-lion and the unagi princess Izumi, Bumi II and Kaya got to pet and ride. (nobody can proof that fire lord zuko burned off parts of avatar aangs 'ridiculous’ mustache later during training)

Acquisition and keeping of a set of throwing knives. Thanks to princess Azula, lady Mai and lady Suki. Princess Izumi acquired a beautiful set of throwing knives that lady Mai was about to teach the young princess how to use. After ‘accidentally’ cutting part of lieutenant Chan’s top knot off, fire lord Zuko had doubts his daughter really understood that the knives are a weapon not a toy. During his investigation of the dispute it was discovered that lieutenant Chan, disrespected princess Azula, and said forbidden insults towards Kaya, who was playing with the princess at the pond. Now private Chan, got transferred to a station in the Wa shi tong desert. And princess Izumi got to keep her nice shiny trowing knifes. (she gifted the cut of top know her aunt, princess Azula)

Promise to spend the summer at the south pole, while it is winter there. It may, was more of a debate about her father taking more time off, for a longer vacation. Fire lord Zuko was easily swayed by two pairs of big round shiny eyes. The golden one belongs to princess Izumi and the blue ones belong to ambassador Sokka. (it wasn’t a long debate. Fire lord zuko seemed oddly eager alreaddy preparing to escape, flee leave the palace the next day.)

Driving the mailing system in omashu! Thanks to the encouragement of Avatar Aang and ambassador Sokka’s comment „It builds character“ Fire Lord Zuko agreed to let his daughter ride with her friends, Bumi II and Kaya down the slope of the mailing system. A decision the Firelord and the avatar regretted after the property damage of a cabbages cart.
