"Now listen, friend, I know you're from the colonies, so I'll say this slowly: On Ji. Is. My. Girlfriend. Don't forget it."
Hide was a student and a bully at a Fire Nation school.
History
When Aang, who had adopted the alias Kuzon after his old friend, came to the Fire Nation school, everyone assumed he was a new student from the Fire Nation colonies. After dismissal, Aang met On Ji, who was friendly to him. Hide, seeing "Kuzon" and On Ji together, made sure Aang knew that she was his girlfriend by starting a brief confrontation.[1]
During a band class, Aang got in trouble for dancing, which was not allowed. On Ji, however, was amused by the dance, and Aang offered to show it to her during recess. Hide firebent at Aang as he heard this remark and exclaimed that "nobody [showed his] On Ji anything, especially movements". He subsequently attempted to hit Aang; however, the latter skillfully evaded every attempted blow, eventually causing Hide to lose his balance and fall over, without utilizing any bending and barely even touching him - which got Aang into trouble for "beating up" another student.[1]
Later, Hide informed the headmaster of a dance party Aang was throwing. Hide, along with the headmaster and two truant officers, tried to catch Aang, but the Avatar hid within a crowd of his classmates. Aang and his friends ultimately managed to slip away in the opening behind the cave from truant officers, much to his dismay and the headmaster's chagrin.[1]
Personality
As a bully, Hide regularly tried to draw fights with other students, and would easily weasel his way out of trouble. He was a star example of what the Fire Nation school system could produce: a muscular build and a weak mind. He was destined to grow up to become a strict Fire Nation military officer who would be hated by his subordinates.[2] However, as demonstrated with Aang, he did at least warn new students not to mess with him rather than outright beat them up, something that surprised his classmates. Hide was also xenophobic, having called Aang "colony trash" for talking to On Ji.[1]
Hide fancied himself to be On Ji's boyfriend and was highly possessive of her, even though she did not show any affection toward him in return. He was easily angered if anyone tried to have any kind of interaction with her, even if it was something as simple as showing friendliness. He threatened Aang when On Ji first spoke to him, and later tried to attack him when he offered to show her his dance moves. Hide was also vindictive, having told the headmaster about Aang's party to get him punished as payback for unintentionally humiliating him by making him lose his balance.[1]
