Lo and Li had been coming to their beach cottage in Ember Island since they were infants and once their parents died, they inherited the building. When life in the Fire Nation Capital became too hectic, the twins escaped there in order to relax. Lo and Li were both appointed as Azula's firebending mentors when she was a child. The duo later presided over a rally held at the Fire Nation Capital's Royal Plaza, where they boastfully declared victory over the Earth Kingdom due to the efforts of Azula and the newly returned Prince Zuko.
