GOOD MORNING FIRE NATION ❤️*🔥

For those of you who haven’t already guessed it (lol), I’m going to be playing Mai in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. How insane is that?! I can’t even begin to express how honored I am (especially as an ATLA fan) to be a part of this series. The entire team behind this production is so absolutely incredible, and I couldn’t imagine a better group of people to bring this story to life. To the creative team: THANK YOU for trusting me to be a part of the beautiful, magical world you have built 🥰
Love y’all ❤️

Thx for that.

**gold-steps** · 02-16-2024, 04:57 PM

Thanks for starting! Her outfit last night was very Mai.

**pink velvet** · 02-18-2024, 11:06 AM

Agreed! Dark and stunning

**gold-steps** · 02-18-2024, 02:15 PM

The black dress is perfect for her

Also love the bangs

What a great interview! She's such a sweetheart

She gives Ty Lee vibes honestly

I love the way she talked about playing someone so different from her.

**gold-steps** · 02-21-2024, 08:58 PM

It's so funny I was just coming to comment about how she totally nails Mai's voice and vibe in the clip we saw of her, so it's so interesting to hear her sounding so excited and to hear her say she's the opposite of Mai in real life.

**pink velvet** · 02-23-2024, 09:13 AM

I love her! And will defend her because she nailed this role

Ahhh that little Appa cookie is so cute! I've only seen one episode with her in it, but she's a really good Mai so far!

**pink velvet** · 02-24-2024, 11:42 AM

Right? I want one

I loved what she did! And I'm feeling extra protective of her because I've seen too many vile things.

**gold-steps** · 02-24-2024, 07:01 PM

Ugh I've seen people saying mean things about her and Elizabeth which makes me want to protect them both.

Like these are real people and they may see your comment? Be nice?

**pink velvet** · 02-25-2024, 10:03 AM

It's so vile

And creepy since I feel like it's mostly coming from grown men

I know she's seeing it too since she was replying to comments on her IG and one of the top ones is just

**gold-steps** · 02-25-2024, 06:32 PM

Yeah I was going to say I don't think its a coincidence that its mostly targeted that the female characters and its mostly coming from older men.

Yikes. If I was a celebrity I'd turn my comments off on like every single IG post.

**pink velvet** · 02-28-2024, 08:53 AM

It's a mindboggling, but tragically unsurprising behavior

I'm glad she has gotten positive comments as well. She really nailed that deadpan voice and did a great job

I hope she focuses on those though I'm sure it's not easy to.

**gold-steps** · 02-28-2024, 08:05 PM

Yeah I feel like people think that as an actor its easier to play a character whose whole thing is being indifferent and board but...it's not

I thought she did a great job as well!
