Style: hanae wears her work uniform most of the time since she's mostly working. on the days she's not working she makes sure to look nice and dress up well in a decorated red hanfu. most people would wonder where she gets that kind of clothes since she's just a she's just a servant. she claims to have gotten them with her own money after saving but they're actually gifts from ozai. she can't go anywhere without her red lipstick, she feels like she looks really plain without it. as for accessories, she always wears her fire lily hair pin that ozai got custom made for her.
PERSONALITY
ISFP-T, friendly, structured, obedient, loyal, reserved, detail-oriented, hardworking, intelligent, sensitive, open minded, caring
everyone's personality gets shaped by their parents from a young age, most of the time its unintentional. but akane shaped hanae to be the exact way she wanted and she succeeded. hanae is basically the perfect daughter, smart, friendly, polite, hardworking, all the traits that her mother taught her to be. growing up in the fire nation made her even more structured, she was raised to love her nation and glorify the fire lord and she did as she was told without questioning it. anyone that thought differently from them was wrong but she's never come across someone like that yet.
hanae is someone thats nice to everyone, she's truly a friendly person. she can make friends easily and be the social one at a party making her memorable to others but after a big event she'll need time to herself or with a close one. she prefers being in small groups or one on one though she can easily go with the flow at large gatherings too. she's not a judgmental person, thats what others love most about her is that she seems so genuine and she truly is. she's a simple girl that enjoys seeing those around her happy. she's sensitive to others emotions and pick up on things right when someone walks in the room. she knows how to make other people feel comfortable and accomodates them. somehow she knows the exact thing to do to make everyone happy and its because she pays attention to details that most people won't. everyone can say they like something but the true emotions are in their body language and facial expressions, something she's very good at picking up on.
even though she doesn't show it she's actually an open minded person, she has a mind of her own which is the thing that allows her to discuss so many topics and be so intelligent. but whenever she has a thought that goes against what she's been told specifically about her nation, she ignores it. when it comes to her devotion of the fire nation she's willing to turn a blind eye and ignore her gut feeling, always coming up with a positive reason to justify any wrongdoings. she has a bad habit of being idealistic, a hopeless romantic that sees the good in everything even those without a good side. she wears her heart on her sleeve, wanting to please others because seeing them happy makes her happy. she thinks she knows what she wants because she's been told what to want for such a long time. but she never stopped and asked herself what she truly wants.
BACKGROUND
Hanae was born in fire fountain city in 74AG to her mother akane and father haruto. Her mom was a bender, ex army lieutenant who worked in a factory. By the time akane met haruto he was a jobless yet funny man living in his parents basement but she fell in love with his charm and humor. They wound up having a shot gun wedding while hanae was on the way. Akane was a typical fire nation mother, strict but in a loving and caring way. She emphasized the importance of keeping face and always looking presentable because she not only represented herself but her whole family. She ran a strict household that was interrupted by her father who didn’t believe in taking life so seriously and strict schedules. Her parents relationship was good but had its faults, akane complained about haruto’s laziness all the time. She got him a job at the same factory she worked at but his clumsiness prevented him from being promoted, he did a lot more talking than working unlike akane who took work very seriously. But they stayed together anyways despite her constant complaining because at the end of the day he was a good father and brought light to even the darkest days.
When hanae was 5 she was introduced to her new baby brother akuto who was a lot like her dad, which gave her mom a pounding headache. She put a lot of pressure on hanae to do something great with herself, she told her to marry a powerful and driven man not someone like her father. She remembers her mom pointing at a picture of fire lord azulon and tell her that was the kind of man she should marry. As she was saying that haruto and akuto were running after an elephant rat trying to catch it to make it a pet. Her family was definitely chaotic but they were close anyways. In school hanae was the top of her class and class president. While her brother was out developing an unhealthy gambling habit with their dad she was being the studious daughter that her mother always wanted. Everything about her was basically perfect.
In 89AG hanae was selected by the headmaster at her school with a few other girls to try out for the servant selection program at the capital that took place every few years. The best young girls all over the fire nation were sent to the capital to try out. Mostly girls from the capital made it but if you were chosen it was seen as a huge honor for you, your family, and your hometown. Not everyone could try out though, it was on a recommendation basis. To the headmaster hanae checked all the marks despite being on the older side but he decided to take the chance anyways because it would make the school look good too. When she ran home to tell her mother the news she’s never been prouder, she was always told that being structured and obedient was the way to be and so far it proved right. At 15 she had the chance to receive one of the biggest honors of a lifetime, to serve the royal family.
She went to the capital once before on a school trip and saw the palace from the outside but the inside was way more beautiful than she could ever imagine. She was one of three others from north chung ling that passed the test and from then on she's been living at the palace. She was one of the oldest trainees, training started as young as eight years old but hanae passed all the requirements and tests with flying colors. Her beauty helped her as well. She trained for a year before officially becoming a servant. Her starting position was an embroider at the age of 16 making garments for the royals and palace decorations. She was proud to even be there and sent letters to her parents talking about how amazing it was. There were times when they would get screamed at and some of the servants would get hit by those of higher authority for messing up but hanae saw it all apart of the process. It didn't take away from the fact that it was a dream come true for her.
As an embroider she made the designs on the outfits and things like curtains and bedsheets. During training they all learned the usual techniques and designs that were acceptable. While making a new robe for ozai hanae took a chance and decided to add a pattern of fire lillies along the cuffs and neckline for him. All the girls told her not to since he usually just liked his robes plain red with the nation's emblem in black on the back, but she thought it was a good idea. When it was presented to him he seemed upset and demanded to know who made such changes to his request. Hanae stepped forward to take accountability bowing down to him but defending her actions by saying fire lillies represent passion and purity, i thought this represented the royal family well since they're always looking out for the wellbeing of our nation with pure intentions. please forgive me... she was honestly scared for her life but instead of getting upset he smirked and said hmmm you're right, i like it. good job. back at the living quarters everyone was talking about how he complimented her which he never did to anyone. it was honestly the best day of her life.
After two years of working in embroidery hanae got promoted to work as one of azula's personal servants. It 91AG and she was 17 at the time attending to all the needs of a 6 year old. It was the first time she worked for one of the royals hands on and she expected it to be an amazing experience but azula was terrifying. She understood why working for her was called the worst job for all the servants and it seems absurd to be afraid of a 6 year old but something about her seemed almost demonic from a young age. Hanae didn't let it get to her and didn't act like the typical servants that were filled with anxiety around her. She was a kid afterall so she tried her best to be nice and optimistic about her time there. Even ursa thanked her for not being so nervous around her daughter like the others.
95 AG was a tense year for everyone at the palace, fire lord azulon passed away, ursa disappeared and ozai took iroh's place as fire lord. Emotions were high that year and servants were getting fired left and right for the simplest mistakes. In his first month as fire lord ozai fired all of ursa's past servants simply because one made his tea too hot causing him to burn his mouth. Due to this incident hanae and a few other servants were moved up to serve the new fire lord. Hanae was waiting for this day, she was happy no matter which royal she served but the fire lord himself was the biggest honor of all.
Ozai remembered her from the robe incident years ago, out of all the girls she was the only one that he knew by name. Hanae was a detail oriented person, she somehow reached all of his expectations all the time. She even did things that he didn't ask for assuming that he would like it and he did. He was well aware of her devotion to him and when he privately invited her to his room one night she proved that she was willing to do anything for him. Their one night affair turned into more frequent private meet ups that got her to be promoted to head servant, she was basically a supervisor of all the others making sure that everything runs according to plan to accomodate him and she was definitely good at her job.
For the last 4 years she's been in a secret relationship with the fire lord. Other servants are jealous of how fast she went up in ranks and question if she even deserves it but she doesn't care because she's happy where she is. She would do anything for ozai and she has high hopes that they'll get married and have children someday. But when she was serving tea at a recent war meeting, she overheard the cruel plans that was proposed and started questioning if the intentions of ozai are truly pure like she always thought. But there's no way that ozai could be some kind of monster, the war is for the benefit of the world, right?
