Added DiffLines:
* JerkassHasAPoint: Zhao's plan that he presents to the Water Tribe council ''is'' a good one- since the Air Nomads are no more, their land is open and ripe for the taking. This would allow them to have more territory, not to mention the resources of these areas (which would be a major boon to the economy). While in the wake of the hundred-year war where the Fire Nation did much the same thing, and the return of the Avatar (the last of the airbenders), it's understandable why the council vetoed the plan, but Zhao did make some good points.
Added DiffLines:
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Initially, Zhao thinks the reason he looks Fire Nation is because Fire Nation soldiers had their way with his mother (whom he can't remember). He's very angry at the thought.

[[quoteright:256:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/zhao_1983.png]]
An [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Avatar: The Last Airbender]] fancomic by {{Rufftoon}}, aka Johane Matte who was one of the storyboarders on the show.
The major conceit of the comic is that Zhao, the villain of season one, wasn't killed by the Ocean Spirit in the season finale. Instead, he was saved but had all his memories of his past life as a Fire Nation admiral erased. The comic deals with him first discovering that he is not really a Watertribesman, and then trying to figure out what to do in the new world of peace. Along the way, he clubs baby seal-turtles, fights pirates, and complains about the cold.
''Water Tribe'' is notable for its high art quality (it ''is'' drawn by a professional) and close connection to canon. It's also interesting because Zhao is noticeably the same character he was in the original show-- dressing him up in furs and having him pray to water spirits doesn't change his personality, and he's still as arrogant, ambitious, and angry as he was in the series.
The complete comic is hosted on her livejournal [[http://pics.livejournal.com/rufftoon/ here.]] [[http://noselfcontrol.deviantart.com/art/Water-Tribe-001-69837313 Parts of it]] are also on [[http://rufftoon.deviantart.com/ rufftoon's DevArt account]], along with concept art and sketches. The entire comic, fanart, and other Water Tribe-related bits can also be found at [[http://noselfcontrol.deviantart.com No Self Control,]] the [[OverlyNarrowSuperlative biggest Zhao fanclub on dA.]]

!!This fancomic provides examples of:
* AlternateReality[=/=]{{Continuation}}: It's so close to canon you might as well consider it to be.
* AmbitionIsEvil: Kinda played with. Zhao is certainly ambitious, but he's not ''quite'' evil.
* AntiHero/ VillainProtagonist: Zhao is the "hero", but he's seldom heroic. And yet, he's also not wholly ''bad''...
* BerserkButton: Absolutely ''anything'' regarding Yue, for Chief Arnook.
* [[spoiler:BittersweetEnding]]: [[spoiler:The tribe and spirits are safe, everyone is alive, and the Fire Nation is that much closer to recapturing Azula, but the Water Tribe thinks Zhao is a traitor and the Fire Nation still considers him a disgrace, so while the world benefits in the end, Zhao has no friends or allies and nowhere to go.]]
* DarkerAndEdgier: Manages to balance this with OriginalFlavor in a very believable way (considering our viewpoint character isn't an eleven-year-old kid, but a middle-aged man). Impressive.
* EasyAmnesia: {{Justified}} in that it's not a casual conk on the head that erases his memories, it's the frigging ''Ocean and Moon Spirits''.
* TheFaceless: [[spoiler: Firelord Zuko,]] at least until the end.
* MeaningfulEcho: "One step out of line... and [[strike: I'll make sure your destiny ends right then and there]] I will not hesitate to sentence you to an appropriate punishment."
* OneSceneWonder: Count how many pages [[spoiler: Firelord Zuko]] appears in. Now count how many comments those pages have.
* OriginalFlavor: VERY original flavor.
* RoyalWe: "We know you well, Zhao. We do not wish to be... disappointed in you again."
* ScheduleSlip: It wasn't certain the story would be finished, because the writer/artist's real life had become too full of, well, real life stuff. She did eventually complete, although the last few pages are roughs instead of polished pages.
* ShirtlessScene: It's about [[DracoInLeatherPants Zhao.]] What did you expect?
* SmugSnake: Zhao, in keeping with his canon personality
