Last time, I explored the deep psychological pathology of the Fire Nation royalty. This time I finish off the Fire Nation and do Mai and Ty Lee. My Mai Ty Bloggaday.
Mai
The depressing and apathetic goth chick of the Fire Nation, Mai has won the hearts of the “alternative” fans of Avatar. Very much like my selections of Azula, I have two cosplayers that represent the two main facets of the character, and one additional cosplayer that links the two. So without further stalling, the pics of my picks.

The “Kick@$$ Mai.” She looks like her theme music should be Bad to the Bone, but if somebody tried playing something so mainstream to describe her, they would come to… uncomfortable ends.

A great picture that embodies my previous description, but she’s Emo enough to make me want to take my electric razor to my wrists. Turns out, it don’t work too well. I don’t recall her getting spotlighted on the videos too much, but if you didn’t check them out when I plugged the youtube channel with Azula, you should do so now.

With the perfect blend of contempt and apathy, this cosplayer marks the personality of Mai rather amazingly.
Ty Lee.
This is the anomaly of my cast. I had my three picked out, and I was going to plug the Lorelei Ty Lee. I didn’t have any pictures of her, so it wasn’t a big deal. When I sent out a request to Lorelei, I mentioned all three though, and I looked at their Deviantart page. So now you get 4 Ty Lees.
Meh, works for me. As I mentioned with Iroh, Ty Lee is one of my favorite characters along with Toph and Iroh. A perfect balance of quirkiness and kick@$$ness, Ty Lee is what is right about Avatar.

She is a dead ringer as to what I would think she would look like in real life. Wow, that was a terribly awkward sentence.

Another good Ty Lee. I would like to see some more pictures though. Not that much diversity in her gallery, and I’m thinking they don’t do her justice.

This is one of the quirkier Ty Lees I’ve seen. I really enjoyed this one. Plus, how can you beat Ty Lee + Starbucks? If memory serves, she also does a mean Naruto

Bubbly Ty Lee is bubbly. This is the Ty Lee I was talking about in the intro. Definitely have to see the videos for her. Third times the charm for the people ignoring what I was saying… er… typing?
