* ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender]]'' could practically have its own entry!
** Aang had Monk Gyatso as father figure (and has the spirit of Roku, plus King Bumi as current day father figures), but there was no indication of a mother in his [[Backstory]] to date.
*** During the opening of his fourth chakra in "The Guru", Aang confronts his guilt about abandoning his people a century before and there is [http://piandao.org/screencaps/ep39/ep39-500.png a woman]{{Dead link}} shown sitting to the right of Monk Gyatso. She doesn't look like [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/avatar/images/c/c8/Yangchen001.png Avatar Yengchen]{{Dead link}}, so most fans who noticed it assume she is in fact Aang's mother.
** Katara and Sokka begin with a Missing Mom, but end up as a [[Parental Abandonment]] case as their father leaves to fight the Fire Nation, leaving Gran-Gran Kanna to raise them instead.
** Toph is a forced inversion. Her parents were both present, but emotionally and supportively absent. They were overprotective to the point of the outside world not knowing that Toph existed. And they left her caretaking to servants, so they never realized until the Avatar showed up that she was a master earthbender. Upon finding this out, seeing that their child was not only ''[[Cute Bruiser|not]]'' [[Cute Bruiser|helpless]] but able to hold her own against much bigger, older and seemingly stronger opponents, Mr. Bei Fong reacted by tightening the yoke of overprotectiveness. His wife did nothing but go along with it, which resulted in Toph abandoning them and running away.
