The twelve-year-old (well, [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|technically a hundred-and-twelve-year old]]) plucky [[Blow You Away|Airbending]] boy destined to save the world. When he learned of his status as [[The Chosen One|the Avatar]], followed by the monks trying to take him from his teacher/father figure, he couldn't handle the pressure and ran away from home. When he was caught in a storm, he defensively used his powers to seal himself in an iceberg, which protected him for a century while the other Air Nomads were exterminated by the Fire Nation in an effort to kill him. After being freed from the iceberg by Katara and Sokka, he now must face his destiny by mastering all four elements and defeating [[Evil Overlord|Firelord Ozai]] to restore balance to the world.
Line 13:
----
 
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: While going into the [[Super Mode|Avatar State]] makes him the [[Physical God|most powerful character in the series,]] it also makes him very [[Glass Cannon|vulnerable]]. Because the Avatar State pulls all the spirits of the former Avatars - that is, the entire spirit that ''is'' the Avatar - into one body at the same time, dying while in the state means the Avatar spirit would die, the chain of reincarnation would break, and the Avatar would cease to exist.
* [[Attention Deficit Ooh Shiny]]: In the first episode, after Sokka tells him about the Hundred Year War and Aang claims he's never heard of it, these two lines come up.
{{quote| '''Sokka''': [[Flat What|You're kidding, right?]]<br />
'''Aang''': ...PENGUIN! }}
* {{spoiler|[[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: With a dose of [[Only Mostly Dead]] since Katara got to him in time.}}
* [[Badass]]: Practically guaranteed for any Avatar.
** [[Back-to-Back Badasses]]: With the Blue Spirit.
** [[Badass Adorable]]
** [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He's a 12 -year -old goofball with the ability to master all four {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower|plus one]]}} elements and restore balance to the world. Not to mention that if you piss him off enough, he'll enter his [[Unstoppable Rage]] superpowered [[Super Mode|Avatar State]].
** [[One-Man Army]]
** [[Tranquil Fury]]: When Aang enters the [[Super Mode|Avatar State]], he seems perfectly serene. [[Berserk Button|Unless he's in a raging fury instead.]]
Line 29:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: He is one of the most genuinely kind, empathic, and gentle individuals in all of fiction. He can also throw hurricanes, tidal waves, and mountain ranges around like softballs.
* [[Break the Cutie]]
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: With the exception of Earthbending, learning the elements came fairly easy to Aang. However, he suffered from a lack of focus and discipline, thanks to his easygoing and childlike nature.
* [[Broken Ace]]: The most talented bender of his age group, [[Cursed Withwith Awesome|but he never wanted to be the Avatar.]]
* [[Cheerful Child]]
* [[Child Mage]]: Mixed with [[Kung Fu Kid]] of course.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: Aang is the youngest person in Air Nomad history to have ever mastered airbending.
* [[The Chosen One]]
* [[Chronic Hero Syndrome]]: Much to his allies' consternation, he's always digressing to do [[Sidequest|Sidequests]]s rather than focusing on his training and fleeing from the Fire Nation.
* [[Comes Great Responsibility]]
* [[Coming of Age Story]]
* [[Cruel Mercy]]: {{spoiler|To Ozai.}}
* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Comes very near to it after Appa was kidnapped. [[Hope Springs Eternal|He eventually got better.]]
* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]: More than most, considering his ability to bend any element.
** [[Badass in Distress]]: [[Played for Laughs]] in "Avatar Day," where Aang is wearing a heavy wooden stock. Not only does it not fit him, but he's able to casually slip out of it while chatting with the other prisoners. Note that he also does this in The Earth King by dismantling the earth-handcuffs to wave at the king.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: All four elemental powers that exist in this universe. {{spoiler|In addition to energybending.}}
Line 46:
** [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Earthbending, though this is actually a skill he found difficult to learn. Being an Airbender, his style is all about misdirection and dodging, whereas Earthbending... isn't.
** [[Making a Splash]]/[[An Ice Person]]: Waterbending. He was able to pick up basic moves very quickly, making Katara quite jealous.
** [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Firebending. He was initially reluctant to learn this at first, thinking of fire as evil, but he was eventually able to learn that Firebending is really all about life.
** {{spoiler|[[Pure Energy]][/][[Soul Power]]: Energybending.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Eleventh-Hour Superpower]]: Energybending. Could also be argued as an [[Ass Pull]].}}
Line 63:
* [[The Hero]]
* {{spoiler|[[The Hero Dies]]: Only for a few minutes, but the consequences stick with him for the rest of the series.}}
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Was going to let himself be punished for a ''crime'' (that word being used loosely) Kyoshi committed two avatar cycles ago.
* [[Holy Child]]
* [[Hope Bringer]]
Line 81:
* [[Love At First Sight]]: With Katara.
* [[Magical Girlfriend|Magical]] ''[[Spear Counterpart|Boyfriend]]'': He's an energetic, kind, generous messiah-figure that helps Katara achieve everything she ever wanted to. ''Everything.'' Getting her Waterbending training, check. Reuniting her with her father, check. Finding closure with her mother's death, check. Saving the world, check.
* [[Martial Arts HeadbandHachimaki]]: He has one in the third season to cover his arrow.
* [[Martial Pacifist]]
* [[Masculine Girl, Feminine Boy]]: Feminine Boy to Toph's Masculine Girl.
* [[Master of None|Master Of One]]: He excels at airbending, having invented at least one new technique for it and risen to the rank of master at a very young age. While he does master the other three elements, {{spoiler|he never picks up the advanced techniques, such as healing, Bloodbending, Metalbending, or proper Lightningbending.}}
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Aang was written 安昂 , meaning "peaceful soaring" in Chinese and Vietnamese.
** The name Aang is similar to the Malaysian and Indonesian word angin and Filipino word hangin, meaning wind. Aang is also the Inuit word for hello, which could be a reference to his friendly nature.
* [[The Messiah]]: He has a love and respect for all life, including those of his enemies.
* [[Messianic Archetype]]: Being a [[God in Human Form]], a natural pacifist, and even {{spoiler|temporarily dying at the end of Book 2}} clearly paints him as one of these.
Line 103:
* [[Refusal of the Call]]
* [[Reincarnation]]: Of the spirit of the planet and Roku.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: {{spoiler|Suffers a permanent scar on his back from being shot with lightning by Azula. He also has one on the sole of his left foot, where the lightning left his body.}}
* [[Sealed Good in Aa Can]]: Unsealed in the series premiere.
* [[Shirtless Scene]]: Frequently in Season 3. Aang has a perfectly good shirt he could be wearing... he just chooses not to.
* [[Simple Staff]]: His [[Weapon of Choice]]. When he has to improvise with a spear he even breaks off the head.
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: Showed interest in Katara and ONLY Katara from the moment he met her.
* [[It Sucks to Be Thethe Chosen One]]
* [[Super Mode]]: The Avatar State.
** [[Heroic Safe Mode]]: The [[Super Mode|Avatar State]] isn't evil, but it's not necessarily good either. It's main concerns are Aang's survival, his rage and sorrow, and maintaining balance. Aang morals and innocent bystanders are secondary considerations, at best.
Line 125:
* [[Warrior Monk]]
* [[Weapon Twirling]]: A [[Justified]] version, since he uses his staff to create wind attacks (or defenses) this way.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]
* [[Wise Beyond Their Years]]: Balances this out by being a [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]] as well.
 
 
== Katara ==

{{quote| "''I will never, EVER turn my back on people who need me!''"}}
 
A compassionate girl who is the last Waterbender of the [[EskimoThe LandGreat White North|Southern Water Tribe]], Katara has accepted the responsibility of looking after her brother Sokka after their mother died and their father left to fight in the war. Despite her many hardships, she never lost faith that the Avatar would one day return to save the world. After finding Aang in the iceberg, Katara acts as the [[Team Mom]] while also being Aang's Waterbending teacher and love interest.
----
* [[Action Girl]]
Line 143:
* {{spoiler|[[Bad Powers, Good People]]: Bloodbending.}}
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Her Fire Nation attire.
* [[Battle Couple]]: With Aang.
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: She's very reasonable and mature, and willing to give just about anybody a chance, but she can be the most ruthless member of the Gaang when she's betrayed or her friends are put in danger.
* {{spoiler|[[Blood Magic]]}}
Line 149:
* [[Blue Eyes]]
* [[Bokukko]]: In the Japanese dub.
* [[Braids of Action]]
* [[Break the Cutie]]: {{spoiler|Both her childhood tragedy and the betrayals of Jet and Zuko... and when Hama forced her to learn the cruel art of bloodbending.}}
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Does this to {{spoiler|her own father, who asks for forgiveness and gets it.}}
Line 162:
* [[Fan Service Pack]]: Again, see the page picture on [[Adrenaline Makeover]].
* [[Flanderization]]: A little. Season three paints her as [[The Comically Serious]] despite the fact that she gets several of the wittiest remarks throughout seasons one and two. It could be that she's only capable of making fun of Sokka {{spoiler|and later Zuko}}.
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' ''How do we put a lid on hot air?''<br />
'''Katara:''' ''If only we knew...'' }}
* [[The Heart]]
* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...|If You Ever Do Anything To Hurt Him]]: {{spoiler|Says this to Zuko when he first joins the Gaang.}}
{{quote| "...then you won't have to worry about your 'destiny' anymore, because I'll make sure your destiny ends. Right then and there. ''Permanently.''" }}
* [[Instant Expert]]: Katara goes from being so poor at waterbending that she accidently freezes her brother to being one of the top notch waterbenders in the world (ahead of fellow [[Instant Expert]] Aang) in one season. She did this in under 4 months<ref>The episode before she finds The Waterbending scroll, which first lets her learn waterbending, is the winter solstice - December. By episode 8 of season 2, we learn it's spring, meaning anywhere between Mars and early June, though it seems closer to the early spring, and the summer solstice is not before season 3. Eitherway Katara is declared a master long before that season 2 episode.</ref>, while Waterbending is described as something that can take years to master.
** Can be justified in that, being the only waterbender left in the Southern Water Tribe, she was bending out of natural talent but with no formal training, so she had potential power but no technique to channel it with. Also, Katara's personality is ''exactly'' the kind of personality that waterbenders are supposed to possess: passionate yet motherly and nurturing. If there were avatars that represented the individual elements, Katara would most definitely be the one for hers.
* [[The Lancer]]: To some extent {{spoiler|until Zuko joins the group}}.
* [[Lunacy]]: Like all waterbenders, her powers are fueled by the moon.
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: She's the quadratic wizard, Sokka is the linear warrior.
* [[Making a Splash]]
Line 187:
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: As Aang is quick to notice when she's dressed up for a party in "City of Walls and Secrets."
* {{spoiler|[[He Who Fights Monsters|She Who Fights Monsters]]: She almost becomes this when she confronts the man who murdered her mother but restrains herself at the last minute, deciding to leave him to suffer in his own horrible life.}}
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Sokka.
* [[Single Woman Seeks Good Man]]
* [[Sour Supporter]]: Mid Book 3. {{spoiler|She's really not very happy with Zuko when he tries to join the Gaang. Justified by Zuko's past in the Avatar hunting business and his betrayal at the end of Book 2.}}
Line 195:
* [[Team Mom]]: It's even [[Lampshaded]] by Toph. It's also gotten to the point where Sokka has trouble remembering his actual mother, since Katara has replaced his mental picture of motherhood.
* [[To Be a Master]]: Her goal throughout the first book is to master Waterbending, in which she succeeds.
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Girly Girl to Toph's Tomboy.
* [[Tragic Keepsake]]: Her necklace is her only memento of her deceased mother.
* [[Tsundere]]: She acts as a Type B (deredere). Oddly enough she acts like a typical type A to Zuko (hatred followed by <s>love</s> friendship) but he's not her love interest. Its downplayed in the third season when her real love interest, Aang, wants to start a relationship.
* [[Violently Protective Girlfriend]]: If you try to hurt Aang, she'll do whatever it takes to stop you. If she even thinks you might hurt Aang, that's enough to get you a menacing death threat.
* [[Wide -Eyed Idealist]]: Particularly during the first season. She becomes more cynical over the course of the show.
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father|You Killed My Mother]]}}
* {{spoiler|[[Your Approval Fills Me Withwith Shame]]: "The Puppetmaster".}}
 
 
== Sokka ==
[[File:sokka_the_thinker2.png|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: Jack DeSena}}
 
{{quote| "''I'm just a guy with a [[Battle Boomerang|boomerang]]... I didn't ask for all this flying, and magic...''"}}
 
[[The Chick|Katara's]] older brother, Sokka took it upon himself to protect the [[EskimoThe LandGreat White North|Southern Water Tribe]]. As a fairly serious [[Badass Normal|non-bending warrior]], Sokka is often irritated by the more mystical and nonsensical aspects of the world of ''Avatar''. Nonetheless, Sokka makes up for it by being the team's "idea guy." And besides, where would the Gaang be without his comic relief and [[Battle Boomerang|BOOMERANG]]!?
----
* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]
Line 219:
* [[Badass Normal]]/[[Badass Bookworm]]: A talented and clever swordsman with an knack for ingenuity in both inventions and battle plans.
* [[Battle Boomerang]]
** [[Precision-Guided Boomerang]]: The guy could give ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Franchise)|Link]]'' lessons in this. The way he takes out {{spoiler|Combustion Man}} is probably the best example. {{spoiler|Unfortunately, it deserts him in the finale.}}
*** {{spoiler|It DOES always come back!!}}
* [[Berserk Button]]: Don't insult or hurt his girlfriends. The Suki one is particularly strong, as he ''knew'' {{spoiler|Azula}} was trying to provoke him, and fell for it anyway.
Line 229:
** That and the directors [[Real Life Writes the Plot|really loved Jack DeSena's voice acting.]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]: If something unpleasant happens to anyone, odds are it's happening to Sokka. Also, his first girlfriend {{spoiler|turned into the moon, but that particular instance makes him more of the Woobie.}}
{{quote| '''Zuko:''' That's rough, buddy.}}
* [[The Call Put Me Onon Hold]]: The primary reason why he [[Took a Level Inin Badass]].
* [[Carry a Big Stick]]: One of his main weapons is a club {{spoiler|until he replaces it with a sword}}.
* [[The Chew Toy]]
Line 244:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
** [[Sarcastic Devotee]]: Primarily in Season 1 and somewhat in Season 2.
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' "If I can just get out of this situation alive, I'll give up meat... and sarcasm. Okay? Ow! That's all I got. That's pretty much my whole identity: Sokka, the meat and sarcasm guy. But I'm willing to be Sokka, the veggies and straight-talk fellow. Deal?" }}
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen|Defrosting Ice King]]: Sokka is initially overly sarcastic and cynical, but eventually becomes a warmer character and more open-minded to the Super Natural.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: "That's called Sokka Style! Learn it!"
Line 257:
* [[Important Haircut]]: Grows his hair out in Season 3. Seems to be a trend with the Avatar boys, isn't it?
* [[Insufferable Genius]]
* [[In Touch Withwith His Feminine Side]]
* [[It's All My Fault]]: {{spoiler|His emotions caused the Gaang to miss their opportunity to confront [[Evil Overlord|Ozai]] during the Day of the Black Sun. It also results in most of the rebels being imprisoned by the Fire Nation.}}
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]: He's sarcastic, [[Heroic Neutral|pragmatic when it comes to helping strangers]], and can be an [[Insufferable Genius]]. He's also fiercely loyal and protective to his friends.
* [[Knight in Sour Armor]]: Sokka is typically the most resistant when it comes to helping every Character of the Week with their problems, as he views it as a distraction from their main mission. He's also the most cynical in a group of idealists.
* [[Large Ham]], [[Memetic Badass]], [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: WANG FIRE!
** A rare example of a character becoming a [[Memetic Badass]] both in ''and'' out of universe.
* [[The Leader]]: A mixture of type I and type II.
* [[Linear Warriors, Quadratic Wizards]]: He's the linear warrior, Katara is the quadratic wizard.
Line 270:
* [[Mr. Fanservice]]: Like Zuko, both in and out of universe, but on a smaller scale.
* [[Noodle People|Noodle Person]]: He's quite tall and not at all bulky.
* [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome]]: The realization that he is this leads to Sokka [[Took a Level Inin Badass|taking a level in badass]].
* [[Playing Pictionary]]: He does this several times.
* [[Plucky Comic Relief]]
Line 279:
* [[Shopping Montage]]: At a weapons store, but still has the demeanor of a teenaged girl with daddy's credit card.
* [[Show Runner]]: The rest of the gang can't even keep a schedule without him.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Katara.
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Beginning of Season 1 only. He's quickly humbled. [[It Got Better|And then he started to]] [[Took a Level Inin Badass|take badass levels.]]
* [[The Smart Guy]]
** [[The Strategist]]
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' Why are you all looking at me?<br />
'''Aang:''' [[Lampshade Hanging|You're the idea guy.]]<br />
'''Sokka:''' So I'm the ''only'' one who can [[Deadpan Snarker|ever come up with a plan]]? That's a lot of pressure. }}
* [[The Spock]]: To [[The Hero|Aang's]] [[The Kirk|Kirk]] and [[The Chick|Katara's]] [[The McCoy|McCoy]].
* [[Stay in Thethe Kitchen]]: Has this mindset until he [[One Sided Battle|challenges Suki to a fight]].
* [[Straw Vulcan]]: When they're trying to help people he's cast in this light, but subverted in "The Fortuneteller"
* [[Team Dad]]: Despite being the [[Plucky Comic Relief]], Sokka functions as this in Katara-centric episodes. Normally Aang is the one wanting to pursue a [[Sidequest]] and Katara is trying to keep them on track. When it's her turn, Sokka turns into the [[Straight Man]].
Line 297:
* {{spoiler|[[Throwing Your Sword Always Works]]: In the finale, he loses his sword for good when he throws it at a catwalk on a Fire Nation airship and manages to ''slice clean through it''. What kind of rock was that meteorite made of?}}
* [[Throw It In]]: He was supposed to be ''more'' deadpan and serious. But his VA is a comedian, so...
* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: The poster child.
* [[Vocal Evolution]]: In the ''opposite direction'' of Katara above. Even his voice acting starts out deeper and more mature, until roughly about "The Kyoshi Warriors".
* [[Weak but Skilled]]
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Fortunately, his father is already very proud of him and he just needed to hear it.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Occasionally sounds like he's trying to fast talk the DM.
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' Suki! You know about sea monsters you talk to it!<br />
'''Suki:''' Just because I live by the Unagi doesn't make me an expert!<br />
'''Sokka:''' (Picks up [[Team Pet|Momo]]) Oh great sea serpent, please accept this humble and tasty offering! }}
 
Line 309:
== Toph Beifong ==
[[File:toph032.jpg|frame]]
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Jessie Flower]]}}
 
{{quote| "''[[Blood Knight|I love fighting]]. I love being an Earthbender. And I'm really, '''really''' good at it.''"}}
 
As a child, Toph was thought of as frail due to her blindness and was kept from the outside world by her [[Overprotective Dad|overprotective rich father]]. Toph found an outlet by becoming an Earthbending master, even learning to "see" by sensing vibrations in the Earth. Because of this, she was selected to be Aang's Earthbending teacher. Though she has a bit of an attitude problem out of a desire to prove her independence, she makes up for it with her blunt insight and all-around [[Badass|Badassery]]. {{spoiler|Also the first Metalbender in history, which she's rightfully proud of.}} [[What Could Have Been|Was originally written as a boy in the early planning stages.]]
----
* [[Achilles' Heel]]: She's very reliant on her [[Disability Superpower|"tremor sense"]] to function. Unfortunately, it isn't foolproof, and has quite a few holes in it. First, she can't sense anything in water or the air. Second, standing on anything other then solid earth will affect her "vision," making her weaker or helpless depending on circumstances. Finally, taking out her footing or injuring her feet will leave her truly blind until she recovers.
* [[Action Girl]]
* [[Affirmative Action Girl]]: The second girl in the second season.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: [[Sliding Scale of Anti-Heroes|Type II]]
* [[Arrogant Kung Fu Guy|Arrogant Kung Fu Chick]]
* '''[[Badass]]''': Probably the biggest example in the series, tied with Azula.
** [[Badass Teacher]]: {{spoiler|[[Interquel]] [[Graphic Novel]] trilogy ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender The Promise (Comic Book)|Avatar: The Last Airbender- The Promise]]'' reveals she opens a metalbending school after the war.}}
** [[Badass Boast]]: After discovering {{spoiler|Metalbending}}:
{{quote| '''Toph''': I am the greatest earthbender '''IN THE WORLD!'''}}
** [[Little Miss Badass]]
* [[Beyond the Impossible]]: {{spoiler|Invents Metalbending on the fly to escape capture}}. Something which an entire episode was used to show that it was impossible.
Line 333:
* [[Blood Knight]]: She loves fighting.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]: "All right! Let's break some rules!" SMASH!
** [[Bruiser Withwith a Soft Center]]: Shows affection by punching people.
* [[Bokukko]]: Again, in the Japanese Dub.
* [[Child Prodigy]]: One of the youngest benders we see, yet she is already one of the most powerful non-Avatar Earthbenders. Also {{spoiler|invented Metalbending on the fly while captured, which was believed to be an impossible skill. And by the finale she was able to Sandbend, despite saying that she hated sand in season 2}}
* [[Cute Bruiser]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Did Mom Just Have Tea Withwith Cthulhu?|Did Toph Just Have Tea With Iroh?]]: Bonus points for literally having tea with him. The rest of the Gaang is quite shocked at this. Subverted in that Iroh is actually a pretty nice guy.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: Although blindness isn't a requisite for an Earthbender to use her method of "seeing," it did lead her to focus her earth senses to an unprecendented degree, allowing her to perceive things approaching or beneath her in great detail and leading in turn to her invention of Metalbending.
* [[Disabled Snarker]]
Line 349:
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Now and then, {{spoiler|especially as Melon Lord.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Extra Ore Dinary]]: Invented Metalbending.}}
* [[The Face]]: The youngest and yet the one with the most social savvy. Technically, being the Avatar, it should be Aang but Toph is usually the one doing the talking.
* [[Foot Focus]]
* [[Friendless Background]]: Due to being sheltered from the outside world by her parents, she'd never made a friend before meeting the Gaang.
* [[Green Eyes]]
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: May be just as heroic, brave and self-sacrificing as any other member of the Gaang, still is a bit of a jerk who rarely opens up to anybody.
* [[Inferiority Superiority Complex]]: A mild case, and it's kept in the background for the most part. It's most evident during "Tales Of Ba Sing Se" and whenever her [[Achilles' Heel]] is hit.
* [[Intergenerational Friendship]]: With Iroh, but hey, it's [[Cool Old Guy|Iroh]].
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[The Ladette]]: The musclebound, belching, spitting hulk that was in the play near the end of the story? That's Toph on the inside.
* [[Little Miss Con Artist]]: In "The Runaway".
Line 366:
** [[Glacier Waif]]
* [[Never Learned to Read]]: [[Justified Trope|Justified]] by the fact that she's blind in a world [[Schizo-Tech|without Braille]].
* [[The Nicknamer]]: Calls Aang "Twinkle Toes", Katara "Sugar Queen" and "Madame Fussy Britches", and Sokka "Snoozles" -- among others.
* [[N-Word Privileges]]: Toph is allowed to make blind jokes, and gets in some ''awesome'' ones.
{{quote| '''Toph''': ''[on Sokka's bad drawing of Appa]'' It [[Stealth Insult|looks]] just like him to me.<br />
'''Sokka''': Thank you. I worked really...''[[[Beat]]]''... Why do you feel the need to do that? }}
* [[One of the Boys]]
Line 376:
* [[Power Levels]]: Mentioned in an interview. According to [[Word of God]], she's the strongest bender in the Gaang (though this obviously doesn't count Aang in the Avatar State).
* [[Rebellious Princess|Rebellious Rich Guy's Daughter]]
* {{spoiler|[[Sadistic Choice]]: Was forced to choose between saving Appa from Sandbenders or saving the rest of the Gaang from a collapsing building. She tried to [[Take a Third Option]], but her [[Achilles' Heel]] was active at the time. [[Tear Jerker|"I'm sorry, Appa."]]}}
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]: As a member of a powerful merchant family, she flashes her gold-bordered passport and makes up something about "valets" and a "seeing-eye lemur" to get entry passes to Bao Sing Se for herself and the rest of the Gaang from a humorless border official. Unfortunately it doesn't work as well when she later tries to bluff her way into the Earth King's party without invitations.
* [[She Cleans Up Nicely]]: Almost immediately we see the rough wrestler became a well dressed lady in her intro.
* [[Sixth Ranger]]
* [[Sonar Sight]]: Toph uses earthbending to see, since she's born blind.
* [[Sour Supporter]]: Sometimes.
* [[Spoiled Sweet]]: Her family is stinkin' rich and spoiled her from birth, and yet she's still pretty nice. Something of a jerk but by no means a [[Rich Bitch]].
* [[Static Character]]: Compared to the other mains, Toph doesn't get a lot of [[Character Development]].
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] in the time Aang goes missing days before Sozin's Comet arrive. When Sokka proposes to split up into groups to find him, Toph offers to go with Zuko (Since Aang, Katara, and Sokka had some [[Character Development]] when they went off somewhere with him). She gets nothing out of it.
Line 387 ⟶ 388:
* [[The Runaway]]: She even has it as a [[Red Baron|nickname]].
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Tomboy to Katara's Girly Girl.
* [[Tsundere]]: She shows affection for someone by punching their arm. She's usually at her softest around Sokka but only at certain times, like she missed him but won't admit it.
* [[You Know I'm Black, Right?|You Know I'm Blind, Right?]]: The rest of the Gaang (especially Sokka) tends to forget about her disability, leading to [[Deadpan Snarker|many of Toph's great one-liners.]]
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' It's so dark in here, I can't see a thing!<br />
'''Toph:''' [[Sarcasm Mode|Oh no, what a nightmare!]] }}
** Subverted in the finale when Sokka, Toph and Suki take over a Fire Nation airship:
{{quote| '''Toph:''' Oh, sure, ask the blind girl to pilot the airship.<br />
'''Sokka:''' Actually, I was talking to Suki.<br />
'''Toph:''' Oh. That would make more sense. }}
** In Sokka's defense, Toph could "see" well enough with her [[Disability Superpower]] that it's pretty easy to see how he could forget she was impaired.
** In one episode it happens ''twice'':
{{quote| '''Sokka:''' Toph, when I was in town, I found something that you're not gonna like. [''Holds up wanted poster for Toph'']<br />
'''Toph:''' Well it ''sounds'' like a sheet of paper, but I'm guessing you're referring to what's ''on'' the sheet of paper.<br />
<br />
''Later''<br />
<br />
'''Katara''': What's this? [''Holds up the same poster'']<br />
'''Toph''': '''I ''don't'' know!''' I mean ''seriously'', what's with you people? I'm ''blind!'' }}
 
 
''Later''<br />

'''Suki'''
{{quote| Voiced by: Jennie Kwan}}
 
{{quote| "''I am a warrior, but I'm a girl, too.''"}}
 
Leader of [[Amazon Brigade|Kyoshi Warriors,]] Suki served as an early mentor and love interest for Sokka. Although she's dedicated to her job, she does have a soft side that comes out when Sokka's around. After the Yue incident, Sokka became a bit overprotective of her even though she's probably more capable than he is. {{spoiler|And for good reason -- after running afoul of Azula, she was presumed dead for quite some time. Fortunately, she was alive and became a permanent member of the group just in time for the final showdown.}}

Aang's pet flying bison as well as his lifelong friend and companion who was sealed in the iceberg with him when he ran away. Acts as the group's main form of transportation.
Line 470 ⟶ 471:
* [[He's Back]]
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]
* [[Last of His Kind]]: He's the only sky bison seen throughout the entire series and is assumed to be such. Ultimately subverted in ''[[The Legend of Korra (Animation)|The Legend of Korra]]'', as other sky bison herds were discovered.
* [[Mix-and-Match Critters]]: Originally a bison mixed with a manatee, although the bison part mostly took over in development.
** Possibly unintended, but its hard to ignore beaver parallels with the way he uses his tail.

A flying lemur found in the ruins of the Southern Air Temple, Momo is Aang's other pet he picked up after being released from the iceberg. A close friend of Appa, he's just around for the comic relief.
