Ty Luko is the fictional romantic pairing between Prince Zuko (now
Fire Lord) and Ty
Lee (former circus worker and current Kyoshi Warrior) from
Avatar: The Last Airbender, an extremely popular kid'
s cartoon that aired on Nickelodeon. Zuko is a master firebender while Ty
Lee isn't a
bender at all. She uses gymnastics and chi-blocking techniques to fend off opponents.
Zuko is a serious and emotional young man, also being brave, courageous, and strong. Ty
Lee, though strong herself, is not very strong emotionally. She is hurt easily and can be controlled/used without much trouble (Azula forcing her to join her team).
Many of this ship's fans ship these two together because of their contrasting personalities. They believe they can interact smoothly as well as engage in a romantic relationship without pushing themselves. They also believe their personalities would mesh perfectly.
Support of this ship comes from one episode in particular, "The Beach", in which Ty
Lee claims to know Zuko more than he might think. Zuko responds by mocking the girl and making her cry. However, this
may be because of how Zuko was feeling during that
day. He claims to have been confused and not
sure of the difference between right and wrong. The deeper connection they share, supposedly, is the main reason the two are paired together.
