So Hufflepuff Zuko doesn’t really identify with Finn because of how different his upbringing is from canon, but Mai Nott on the other hand… Mai got dragged to see this weird muggle moving picture thing, and she was kind of meh on the original trilogy, but she watches The Force Awakens and sees Finn getting out of the First Order, and leaving behind everything he was raised with, and all that control, and trying to grab everybody he cares for and run and get them somewhere safe, so that the people who controlled him for so long can’t hurt them, and oh, wow, suddenly she’s here for this.
