Haru's mother was a nonbending Earth Kingdom woman who lived in a small mining village formerly under Fire Nation control.[2] She owned and ran a small store in the town to support herself and her son, Haru.
History
After her husband, Tyro, was captured while defending their village from Fire Nation invaders, she became protective of her son and forbade him from earthbending, though he continued to do so in secret.
In late 99 AG, Team Avatar visited her shop after seeing Haru enter the building. She grew increasingly anxious when she realized they had discovered Haru's hidden earthbending, as she feared the Fire Nation would take him away like his father. Shortly thereafter, the tax collector approached and demanded entrance to her store. Haru's mother, frustrated, inquired about the reason for his presence, as she had already paid her weekly taxes, but she relinquished additional funds when the firebender informed her of a recent tax increase and accompanied his demand with a threat of vandalism. Appeased, the tax collector exited her shop as she proceeded to gather the copper coins she had been permitted to keep. Upon Sokka's inquiry, she told Aang and his friends that the village had been occupied by the Fire Nation for five years and that the heavy taxation had left her with little money to support herself and her son. Additionally, Haru's mother explained why Haru needed to refrain from earthbending, and when Katara pressed the issue, she disclosed her fear that her son would be taken away as well. That night, she was left devastated when the Fire Nation troops arrested Haru for earthbending.[1]
