look at the pure joy in suyin’s face when she sees that her mother and her sister have reunited to save her and her family
That poison should have killed you. But you were able to fight it off.
I’m not going to lie, I was a little disappointed that Izumi wasn’t voiced by Dante Basco
Suyin Beifong has easily become one my favourite characters in this series, and the Avatar franchise as a whole. Not only does she take pride in being a mother, a wife and a matriarch, but her intelligence continues to astound me. She’s literally built up Zaofu from the ground and stood as an example of modern progress in the world, all while keeping ground in her ideals. At first, I guess I didn’t really understand why Su wouldn’t take charge when the Earth Kingdom was in disarray, but this scene finally put it into perspective. And I agree with her whole heartedly.
Su didn’t want to be seen as a conquerer, and knew if she took charge, she would be. Just because she had a vision, didn’t mean she had to force it onto the people of the world. Suyin has been so outspoken in her beliefs the entire time we’ve seen her. She saw the faults in the queens reign, but even when put into a position of power to change that, she refused to force her ideals down the throats of everyone in the kingdom, much like she allowed the citizens of Zaofu to do as they please, and use the freedom they had to define themselves. Given her backstory, the importance of choosing who you are and what you’re seen as is central to her character, and I really hope we see even more development of her character as Book 4 comes to an end.
