With that in mind, her charity for 'war widows' is actually much more 'sanitary' than something that would deal with wounded veterans.

The part Ren's first meeting with Zuko and Azula got a chuckle. I can't help but wonder what happened, but it's fun to speculate.

What's her relationship with Yao Ci like? Does she truly love him, or is he just an appealing potential heir?

She tries to create charities based on need. The veterans are well cared for. But when soldiers die, the needs of the families aren't always met, particularly when one is talking about a husband who dies in the line of duty and leaves a wife and children without his income to support them
