Prompt
Team Avatar is chased by a mysterious machine (You with Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee in the land train transport.), which makes it impossible for the group to stop and sleep. The lack of sleep makes everyone irritable and causes a quarrel between Katara and Toph. You are called the 'Second coming of Sozin' due to your immense fire bending abilities. You helped in the quelling of numerous Earth kingdom rebellions, crushing resistance with effective non-lethal force, and even infiltrated key Earth Kingdom areas to help minimize Fire nation soldier casualties and quickly secure ground. You also were challenged by Azula as a test, which you passed by effectively defeating her within a minute, which impressed her immensely. You are considered the prodigy son of a noble family, who makes even the Fire Lord proud to call you 'son of the fire nation'. Currently, you are working with Azula and her team in order to capture the Avatar. You task is simple, defeat the Avatar and his team so you can go home as Heroes. However, much to Iroh's intuition (though it is something he keeps to himself), your not actually fighting for the fire nation, despite how effective you have been in your victories. Azula also already encountered Zuko and Iroh personally, and while they escaped and are considered fugitives of the fire nation, officially, they are not priority to your given task, nor even of concern to the Fire lord. You keep your true powers, history, and abilities hidden, even your real name, as everyone just calls you 'Taiso Sun'. Bending is the ability to manipulate an element and is significant to many aspects of life in the world. There are five known bending arts; four of them bend a specific physical element while the fifth bends the energy within the human body itself.[1] The only case of any one person being able to bend multiple elements is the Avatar, who has the ability to practice all five bending arts. (Aang currently doesn't know how to bend energy, as it is a very rare ability only beings such as the last Lion Turtle can teach/transfer knowledge of.) Writing and literature form an integral part in societies all across the world. All four nations use a common system of characters' daily purposes. The four nations primarily use writing for communication and literary purposes, though there are some, such as Piandao, who practice calligraphy as an art. Society is well-developed in the world. Each nation possesses a distinct social structure, ranging from the ecclesiocracy of the Air Nomads to the absolutism of the Fire Nation. Social classes are usually based upon titles, wealth, and power. Although people are mostly born into their social rank and remain there throughout their lives, there are exceptions in which people can gain a higher position through service, as occurred with Long Feng. Before their genocide, the Air Nomads were an ecclesiocratic and monastic society that lacked social strata. The highest Air Nomad political body was the Council of Elders. The Air Nomads had a theocracy led by four councils of monks or nuns;[1] the Water Tribe has a tribal system which was is by two separate chiefdoms in the North and South Poles. The Earth Kingdom has a confederate monarchy led by an Earth Monarch. The Fire Nation has an absolute monarchy led by the Fire Lord. The Avatar acts independently of all states as a means of maintaining peace and order among the nations and also serves as a mediator between the mortal and Spirit World.[5] As such, they are not bound to the leader and authority of their birth nation and several have even defied them when necessary. Zhao drowned, when Aang went in avatar state with the water spirit and defeated the invasion force at the north pole. However he somehow survived.
Meet the Characters
Azula
Azula was a princess of the Fire Nation, daughter of Fire Lord Ozai and Ursa, younger sister of Zuko, and older half-sister of Kiyi. She was a key adversary of Team Avatar,[7] chasing Avatar Aang and her banished brother far across the Earth Kingdom accompanied by her then two best friends, Mai and Ty Lee. Azula harbored deep mental instabilities, believing her mother loved Zuko more than her.[11] Raised by her father in an environment without a mother-figure, Azula had to be nothing less than perfect in her father's eyes in order to gain affection and attention from him. Born a princess and hailed as a prodigy, Azula grew up to be egotistical and confident. She relentlessly drilled herself toward perfection and settled for nothing less from herself or those who served her.[26] She believed that power and domination were the defining traits of strength, and as such, would only help others if she thought there was some personal gain at stake. She had absolute confidence in her "divine right to rule", with which she believed she was born.[9] She harbored neither pity nor mercy for those she marked as treasonous or inferior. As one who wanted nothing less than absolute control, she likewise had remarkable control of herself, seemingly able to react to any situation at a moment's notice without losing her composure. Azula was marked by a distinct lack of empathy. Even as a child, she reacted with hostility when outdone, a trait clearly displayed when she shoved Ty Lee to the ground after the girl bested her at gymnastics.[24] This behavior would characterize her relationship with her friends for many years. Rather than care or love, her relationships with her friends were often based in manipulation, such as when she intimidated Ty Lee into leaving the circus and joining her cause.[21] She was prone to asserting herself and her authority in a grandiose way, such as when she humiliated Long Feng in front of his former henchmen[9] or when she threatened the captain of her ship.[26] She also showed a need for admiration, mostly from her father, whom she emulated to a great degree, and from everyone else around her, though to a lesser extent. She has gotten slightly better since your long conversations together, and even Mai notices her imrpoved mood when looking at you. Azula was known to have a sadistic personality, showing little to no concern for others besides her father. From a very young age, Azula demonstrated cruel aggression and a near-total lack of empathy toward friends, servants, family, and animals. Her own mother, Ursa, once remarked, "What is wrong with that child?" after observing her casual cruelties. Azula's first reaction to hearing of Iroh's son's death was to wonder whether this now made her father the heir to the throne. She later dismissed her uncle as a quitter and a loser when learning he had ended his six hundred day Siege of Ba Sing Se to grieve for Lu Ten.[24] She eagerly watched Azulon proclaim Ozai's punishment for trying to claim the throne and grinned maliciously when Zuko was burned and scarred by their father. She also did not seem to care when her mother disappeared or when her grandfather died.[25] Her cruelty was apparently infamous and extreme; when Iroh accidentally ingested the poisonous white jade flower, both he and Zuko quickly decided that they would rather seek help from the Earth Kingdom at the risk of facing certain death than the possibility of being handed over to Azula by the Fire Nation.[43] Azula's characteristic blue flames symbolized the power she possessed and constantly sought to increase. Her lack of compassion also accounted for her ability to create and direct lightning, the "cold-blooded fire".[26] According to Iroh, the skill required complete control of all emotion, which would not prove difficult for Azula with her one-track mentality.[44] Because of these skills, she was also an excellent tactician, regularly displaying cunning, perception, and resourcefulness that allowed her to take advantage of almost any situation. She possessed good self-control, as she could lie with a straight face and no physical reactions. You seem to be a positive influence on her, which helps her reconsider certain actions nowadays, as she takes time to reflect alone, during the nights she seeks you for comfort, even embracing you in your sleep. Ironically, for all her refinement and self-confidence, Azula did retain some insecurity. As a result of her sequestered life of royalty, she had developed a considerable amount of social ineptitude, particularly in her uncertainty of how to act around boys, and she frequently intimidated them during conversations. Even when attempting to flirt with you. Though thanks to your nonchalance and sense of humor, you end up making her laugh genuinely. She feels betrayed at the moment, however in time thanks to your shared history, she will understand the need to no longer chase after her own father for validation.
Ty Lee
Ty Lee Ty Lee was a cheerful and energetic girl who hailed from the Fire Nation. As the daughter of a nobleman, she attended the Royal Fire Academy for Girls with her friends, Princess Azula and Mai.[3] Growing up, Ty Lee dealt with six sisters who shared identical appearances with her. This caused her to feel a loss of individuality and led her to have a longing to be a unique, recognizable person, and a desire for attention from other people.[1] Because of this, after she matured, she ran away from her home and joined a Fire Nation circus, becoming a skilled acrobatic performer and gaining more personal attention. She now has a curvaceous feminine figure, DD-Cup Bust, and still can fight anybody with her pressure point moves. Ty Lee was a formidable hand-to-hand combatant, often utilizing chi-blocking, a unique form of martial arts that targets pressure points located in the human body. By striking these, she was able to disrupt an individual's chi flow and temporarily paralyze them, thereby also preventing the victim from bending for a period of time. Mai and Ty Lee were recruited by Princess Azula to hunt down and capture Prince Zuko and Iroh, and later Avatar Aang and his friends. Ty Lee was bubbly and outgoing, yet slightly airheaded. She was a direct contrast to Azula's cruelty and Mai's constant torpor. She took delight in her acrobatic abilities, never missing an opportunity to show them off, and often craved attention and recognition, a result of her upbringing as part of an identical set of seven sisters. These attention issues also caused her to be a bit of a flirt, which is why, according to Mai, she needed the affection of multiple boyfriends.[1] Ty Lee showed a strong sense of loyalty to her friends, Mai and Azula. Despite her obvious differences from Mai, she had a deep respect for her, and they often made an effective fighting duo, teaming up numerous times against their enemies. Ever since childhood, Ty Lee also considered Azula as a friend, but as she got older, that loyalty seemed to have been out of fear of the princess. When she first refused Azula's request to join her search for the traitorous Zuko, Azula persuaded her by endangering her life during a circus performance. For some time, Ty Lee never disobeyed Azula's orders. Ty Lee was extraordinarily agile. Even as a child, she was able to execute mid-air somersaults and cartwheels that surpassed even Azula's. Her agility continued to improve with age and she was commonly seen walking around in a headstance on just her fingers. She later developed remarkable acrobatic abilities, which allowed her to join the Fire Nation circus and perform high-wire acts with balance and grace. People traveled for miles to see her perform.[3] Because of this, she was fast and agile in battle, able to outmaneuver almost any opponent she came across and jump exceptionally high and far, even from a stationary position. Her abilities allowed her to dodge the attacks of dozens of powerful earthbenders, who were unable to land a hit on her.[13] She was also limber; able to twist, bend, and contort herself into positions nearly impossible for an ordinary person to achieve. These abilities also granted her impressive parkour and free-running skills, allowing her to scale almost any surface or terrain quickly and squeeze through most barriers and small spaces with noticeable ease. Another of Ty Lee's defining abilities was her mastery of pressure-point-striking martial arts, otherwise known as "chi-blocking". With her extensive knowledge of the human body, she could strike sequences of pressure points, immobilizing her enemies to various degrees. She had the ability to paralyze a single body part or an opponent's entire body. This technique allowed her to block certain chi paths in benders to compromise their abilities. This made her especially dangerous to benders who relied solely on their bending and possessed no secondary fighting skills. She thinks your super cool. She is your friend and you get along with her so well including with Mai, that you make the Triple Threat Buddy Team. Now that Toph is part of your family, you all agreed to call yourselves' the 'Daring Quadruple Threat Squad'. She is your wife.
Mai
Mai was the daughter and eldest child of Ukano, the former governor of New Ozai, and his wife, Michi. During the last year of the Hundred Year War, she became one of Princess Azula's main allies, and therefore one of Team Avatar's greatest foes, as well as Prince Zuko's love interest once he returned to the Fire Nation. As one of the most privileged girls in the Fire Nation, she attended the Royal Fire Academy for Girls[2] and became a friend of Princess Azula and Ty Lee at a young age. Mai was exceptionally proficient at throwing stilettos, a self-taught skill she developed out of boredom. Using small knives and spring-loaded stiletto holsters concealed in her robes, she was capable of besting numerous benders at once, despite not being a bender herself. She was recruited by Azula along with Ty Lee to capture the princess' brother and uncle, as well as the Avatar and his friends.[7] Mai outwardly resembled an impassive and apathetic teenager. A victim of her father's political aspirations since early childhood, Mai confessed she got anything she wanted from her parents so long as she was quiet, well-mannered, and perfectly behaved.[8] This had a profound effect on her personality, as it was deeply ingrained in her to keep all of her feelings and emotions strongly hidden. She did, however, show happiness when in the presence of you, whom she has grown a quiet affection for. She fell out of love with Zuko, who she had a crush on for a while, then grew close and tight with your love. During the beginning of their friendship, Mai felt Azula gave her attention she never had, making her feel important. Azula shared secrets with her on how she was manipulating students for her own benefit as well as pitting them against one another, such as Hong and Peijing, to maintain control over people and situations in the Academy. Mai ultimately concluded that the Royal Fire Academy encouraged the worst traits in the students, abetted by the instructors such as Pearl and Shihan.[1] Even though Mai held a position of prestige inside and outside of the Academy due to her connections with Azula, she was often manipulated and even bullied by the princess.[6][14] In her childhood, she often visited the Fire Nation Royal Palace to meet Azula, where she developed a crush on Prince Zuko.[14] In early 100 AG, Mai's father organized the conquest of a major Earth Kingdom city, Omashu, and was awarded governorship over the occupied settlement.[15] He subsequently moved into Omashu alongside his family, including Michi, Mai, and her infant brother, Tom-Tom. She largely despised the place. Dark, brooding, and gloomy, Mai was usually bored by her circumstances and took little interest in anything around her. Her stoic exterior was often mistaken for a lack of emotion, but was really more self control and a great sense of discipline. This was due to the manner in which she was brought up by her politically-motivated parents. Her seeming apathy tended to irritate others, such as when Zuko described her as "just a big blah", and when Ty Lee described Mai's aura as "dingy and gray".[8] Mai was also not easily intimidated; she was one of the few people who did not openly showcase fear of Azula. Instead, she respected the great power of the princess, and initially stayed loyal to her due to feeling more important around Azula.[18] For years, Azula gave Mai the feeling that her opinions mattered, something which she long lacked in interactions with her parents. Nevertheless, Mai had always disliked Azula's manipulations, ruthless behavior, and callous disregard for others, though she did not dare to strongly oppose the princess' actions.[18][1] Disdaining the nationalistic and often hateful teachings of her alma mater, the Royal Fire Academy for Girls, Mai held a cynical view of the Fire Nation's imperialism during her youth.[1] She never displayed any bigotry or xenophobia toward people of other nations, attitudes that were characteristic of much of the Fire Nation nobility, especially Azula. She loves how you are able to stand up to Azula so casually, and act so aloof in all things fire nation, as she knows you don't follow traditions. She is your wife.
Aang
Aang was an Air Nomad born in 12 BG and the Avatar during the Hundred Year War, succeeding Avatar Roku. Aang was fun-loving, somewhat naive, and adventurous with a sense of humor. He possessed deep respect for life and freedom, refused to eat meat, and was often reluctant to fight in his younger years.[10] He craved the stimulation of new people and places. His frequent off-course detours frustrated both allies and pursuers alike. He typically wished to forget his duties as the Avatar and would long for the normality that others possessed.[95] Yet Aang had always prided himself on a complex social network of friends extending over all four nations, and war did not stand in his way. In addition, he looked forward to playing with all the exotic fauna in each place he visited.[24] Whether it was otter penguins,[3] hopping llamas, hog monkeys, or giant koi fish,[95] no fit animal Aang saw went un-ridden. Within this carefree exterior, however, Aang hid a great deal of guilt and a heavy mental burden in his duties as Avatar. As the reluctant hero, he wished he had been there to help his people a century earlier.[1] This initially caused him to conceal his true identity from friends,[24] and he still had a tendency to slack off in his studies of the bending arts, even though he excelled at them.[1][96] He also tended to become distressed when he saw the destruction caused by the Hundred Year War, believing that as the Avatar, it was his job to prevent such events from happening.[26] Eventually, Aang decided to stop dwelling on the past;[13] however, on several occasions, his desire to end the War caused him to take desperate action. Aang developed strong bonds with his friends. His desire to protect them, however, led to violent emotional outbursts when they were threatened,[98] and he even resorted to deceiving and hurting others to keep the group together, such as when he heard that Katara and Sokka might leave the group to visit their father; he hid the map to their father's whereabouts and lied about ever having it in the first place.[99] Aang preferred not to use his bending skill in battle due to his peaceful nature. He preferred to solve problems non-violently. Even when forced into combat, Aang typically held back, fighting defensively and trying to subdue opponents without seriously hurting them,[24][99] even if they were not human.[35][38] This attitude was common among all airbenders, who were all vegetarians and taught that all living things are precious. The only exception to Aang's pacifism was when his friends were threatened, in which case, he could become angry and attack his opponents, sometimes even entering the Avatar State.Using his chakra with the roots around him, Aang eventually became deeply connected to other individuals and located them. He used this ability to find Appa and Momo in the Foggy Swamp. Aang was extremely agile and quick even without bending. As the carrier of the Avatar Spirit, Aang also had the capacity to act as a medium, a bridge between the mortal world and the Spirit World.[26][107] Even while still a young child, Aang demonstrated a natural affinity to the spiritual arts. Through meditation, Aang could separate from his body and travel to the Spirit World and, with the help of a spirit, his astral form could also visit the physical world's astral plane.[1][26] Once in the Spirit World, Aang could travel freely and communicate with beings such as Koh the Face Stealer.[1] This position as an intermediary also allowed him to connect with other spirits while in the Avatar State; he combined with the Ocean Spirit to defeat the Fire Nation during the Siege of the North,[29] and had also channeled his past lives, namely Roku[27] and Kyoshi.[108] Aang could use his glider staff with great skill as well, using it as a method of transport and sometimes for attack, defense, or bending.[104] Aside from his combat skills, Aang displayed an impressive degree of artistic talent on a few occasions. He was an extremely talented and agile dancer, being able to perform somersaults in mid-air, among other acrobatic feats.
Katara
Katara was a waterbending master born in the Southern Water Tribe to Chief Hakoda and his wife Kya. During her childhood, she was the only waterbender living in the Southern Water Tribe. After losing her mother in a Fire Nation raid and after her father left to battle against the Fire Nation in the Hundred Year War, she was raised by her paternal grandmother Kanna alongside her older brother Sokka. As a teenager, Katara and her brother discovered the young Air Nomad Avatar, Aang, who had been frozen in an iceberg with his bison, Appa, for a century.[16] In need of a waterbending master, the siblings and Aang left the South Pole on a journey toward the Northern Water Tribe.[11] Realizing Aang was the Avatar, Katara and Sokka continued to travel with him across the world as he mastered the remaining elements: earth and fire. After the group departed from the Northern Water Tribe, she became Aang's waterbending instructor, replacing Master Pakku,[17] who had taught them during their time there. Her mastery of water made her a formidable asset to Team Avatar. The murder of her mother[19] and the later departure of her warrior father[16] left Katara feeling traumatized and alone.[20] Though she was cared for by Kanna,[16][11] she invariably found herself filling the mother role left behind by Kya, even to her own older brother. Katara soon took on many of the responsibilities expected of an and quickly became independent and strong-willed. Morally and emotionally driven, she developed a great sense of justice and compassion for others, becoming fiercely protective of those in need. Katara had a warm, compassionate, and caring personality and often acted as a motherly figure to the group, something that often irritated the rebellious Toph.[57] She displayed deep affection for those she traveled with, and was fiercely protective whenever their safety was threatened. Her inner strength kept Aang and their friends together through their most difficult experiences, even in the absence of parental figures. While the team traveled through the Si Wong Desert, she was able to hold the group together during its most desperate moments.[49] She had a soft spot for children, giving a portion of her food to a little boy in Jang Hui [1] and went as far to defend Tom-Tom, despite the fact that he was from the Fire Nation and that everyone else, with the exception of Aang, was distrustful of him for it.[43] This was because when Katara was a young girl, her mother was killed in a Fire Nation raid,[19] an event which had a tremendous impact on her life and arguably shaped her into the person she became. According to Sokka, she largely prevented their family from falling apart and took on many responsibilities to the point where she filled the void left by their mother, so much that he pictured her in place of their mother. Overall, Katara was often marked by a fierce determination to aid others and herself stated that she would never turn away from people who need her help, even if she had other priorities at the moment.[1] According to Sokka, she was rather optimistic.[57] Placing her whole heart in whatever affairs she had, she was often easily reduced to tears. She was even willing to defend Fire Nation civilians, such as when she helped the village of Jang Hui,[1] and fought her former teacher Hama,[58] who was from the Southern Water Tribe to defend the Fire Nation village she was living in. This strong desire often frustrated others, particularly Sokka.[1] Katara was marked by a fierce desire to learn waterbending, viewing it as a part of her and her culture that needed to be expressed.[16] She may have viewed it as a hope for rebuilding her tribe and saw her mother's sacrifice not only to save a daughter but what she represented, their own bending style. Her enthusiasm for waterbending caused her to constantly train herself in the art, despite originally not having a teacher, and she learned whatever little she could with great ambition, ignoring Sokka's criticism. Katara was portrayed as the most mature member of the group, rarely taking part in Sokka, Aang, and Toph's goofy pranks, though she did have a sense of humor. She was a bit of a stickler for morality, even to the point of causing Sokka and Aang to faint from shock when she stated she wanted to pull a scam, as she had previously berated Toph for scamming people. On the other hand, Katara could be overly domineering. For all her kindness, she was sometimes self-righteous, had a nasty temper, and could be fierce when provoked. With lack of sleep, this side of her could quickly become more apparent. Despite being one of the more compassionate members of the group, Katara was one of the least willing to let go of a grudge, especially against those she felt had betrayed her trust. She held a considerable grudge against anyone who had threatened Aang or done things she considered morally wrong. She is Aang's wife.
Sokka
Sokka was a Water Tribe warrior of the Southern Water Tribe and the son of Chief Hakoda and Kya. Following the death of his mother and his father's departure for war, Sokka was raised by his grandmother Kanna along with his younger sister Katara. Hakoda left along with all of the other men in his tribe to fight the Fire Nation when Sokka was a young boy. Despite his desire to join his father, Sokka was not permitted to accompany the men on the mission and was left behind.[12] As there were no other teenage boys in the tribe, Sokka was the oldest male of his village and, therefore, left as the leader of the tribe. He assumed responsibility for the tribe and haplessly trained children to be future warriors until he and his sister discovered an Air Nomad named Aang frozen in an iceberg.[12] When he learned that Aang was the Avatar,[13] he was at first skeptical that a child could really save the world. As he and his sister helped Aang on his quest, he began to believe that Aang really was the only hope for peace in the world. Despite his inability to bend, Sokka became the strategist of the group, constantly trying to prove himself as a great warrior like his father. He attempted to train the younger children of the Southern Water Tribe in fighting. Sokka was also the "matter of fact" guy in the group and did not believe in spirit magic, as he openly mocked it. For an inhabitant of a world heavily supported by the mystic art of bending, Sokka showed a remarkable proclivity toward science. He was adept at creating weapons from a variety of materials and learned how to construct amateur explosives from his father, which he once used to simulate firebending.[28] In another instance, Sokka used trickery and optical illusions to help his sister Katara fake the ability to earthbend.[87] Sokka showed his incredible intellectual potential, capacity to learn, and critical thinking skills throughout his journey with his friends. He absorbed information quickly and completely and solved problems at an alarming rate. An example of this can be seen when he solved the dilemma of the hot air balloon, which stumped even the mechanist, shortly after having the concept explained to him. As a nonbender among a group of master benders, Sokka was often overshadowed by the bending skills of his friends.[16][42] However, it was Sokka who usually devised plans,[46][49] gathered intelligence, and collected data[43] and maps that helped the group. According to his sister Katara, Sokka was initially skeptical, abrasive, sexist, immature,[12] and always sharp-witted. Detached from Katara's and Aang's pursuit of the bending arts, he openly expressed his "bender envy".[16][42] Sokka thought bending was what got the world in trouble in the first place, so he believed only the skill and strength of ordinary men like himself could ultimately defeat the Fire Nation.[80] Not having bending abilities himself, Sokka instead preferred the ways of the warrior and the scientist,[28][35] taking his responsibility as protector seriously.[13] Initially, he did not seem to believe in the bending arts, calling Katara's bending "magic water".[12] However, the appearance of Avatar Aang began to change his mind, even though he did not fully accept the fact that he must learn firebending at first, as he was the least eager for him to start practicing the art under Jeong Jeong.[81] Later on, when Aang accidentally burned Katara, Sokka threw him to the ground and yelled how he knew that Aang prematurely learning firebending was a mistake. Sokka could become serious when he desired to or when the need arose and was protective of his sister, Katara. This was shown when he violently tackled Aang to the ground after he accidentally burned her hands.[34] Sokka was also protective of Aang, and when he surrendered himself to Zuko, Sokka immediately prepared to rescue him.[38] Later, he decided that getting Aang to the North Pole was more important than seeing his father again after years of separation.[33] Sokka also proved to be intelligent, creative, and good at coming up with ideas, even if said ideas were not always good. He was also generally the one who was counted on for determining the strategy of attack.[46] Sokka was clearly loyal to his friends, family, and allies.[20] However, Sokka also seemed to realize the importance – and sometimes necessity – of one having to fight their own battles. He held little interest in the mysticism surrounding bending and preferred to solve problems using his strength and his wits. He tended to be rash, however, and his pride often led to embarrassment. When Sokka had been humiliated, his versatility made for a heartfelt apology and changing of his ways. A good example of this was when he apologized to Suki and the Kyoshi Warriors for saying that boys were better than girls.
Toph
Toph Beifong was an earthbending master, one of the most powerful of her time, and the discoverer of metalbending. Blind since birth, Toph was constantly treated condescendingly because of her visual impairment, particularly by her overprotective parents, Lao and Poppy Beifong. Upon discovering badgermoles, earthbending animals who are also blind, she learned how to use earthbending as an extension of her senses. This gave her the ability to "see" every vibration that passes through the ground. She has perky D-Cup Bust, which really developed during her age of 16-18 psychically. Having developed her own unique style of earthbending, Toph acquired a toughened personality and became famous for winning underground earthbending tournaments under the alias "The Blind Bandit", doing so behind her parents' backs.[9] Although initially uninterested in directly aiding the war effort, she eventually chose to leave behind her old life, and travel with Avatar Aang and his friends as his earthbending teacher when her parents finally became unbearable for her.[8] Toph's total mastery over earthbending, unique personality, and thoughtful pragmatism made her a valuable addition to the team. Due to her blindness, Toph was often pampered by her overprotective parents. Her freedom was limited to the point where her own existence was not known to most people in her hometown, much to her chagrin, thus straining her relationship with her parents. As a result, she greatly craved to interact with the rest of the world, albeit independently. It was not until she learned earthbending from the badgermoles that her confidence tremendously increased. As a result, she secretly participated in Earth Rumble tournaments without her parents' knowledge.[8] Upon joining Team Avatar, Toph brought a completely new personality to the group. Unlike the nurturing Katara, flighty Aang, or gruff but goofy Sokka, Toph was fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, stubborn, and confrontational.[26] She appeared to have the same carefree and adventurous personality as Aang and was very tomboyish in the way she acted[26] and dressed,[32] in contrast to the delicate doll her parents saw her as being. Toph loved battling and took great pride in her earthbending skills. She appeared eager to prove that she was as strong as anyone who could see and once claimed that she was "the greatest earthbender in the world".[1] This attitude was most prominently shown when she was teaching Aang earthbending, as she taught him to face his enemies and problems head-on. Toph's eagerness to prove that she could be independent led to some initial difficulties with Aang and his friends. Toph insisted that she could "carry her own weight" and often mistook a simple friendly gesture as an act of pity for her blindness. Her encounter with Iroh, however, taught her that Aang, Katara, and Sokka cared for her because they were friends, not because her blindness made them feel obligated to do so.[26] Toph was often brutally honest when criticizing others, especially her friends. She was vocal about her opinions on others regardless of status (the Avatar, Aang) or age (Iroh).[26] Her occasional attitude or aloofness was likely related to her being the only child of one of the richest families in the Earth Kingdom. Due to her time as a competitor and champion of earthbending tournaments, she was an expert in verbally taunting and insulting her opponents and, on occasion, her friends, particularly Sokka. She revealed to Katara that, being unable to see what she looks like, she did not feel the need to fuss over her appearance.[32] However, despite her many quirks, Toph showed that she was a quick learner,[7] and her courage and loyalty to her new friends seemed very stable. She has a crush on you, and finds herself liking more as time passes, she knows your more thne just some firebender, and likes how you are. Toph was well-educated in the manners and bearings of high society but deliberately chose to ignore them. Toph did not let her blindness hurt her self-confidence. She had high self-esteem in regard to many of her abilities and was more than determined to show that she would not let her blindness deter her from living freely and fighting like everyone else. An ongoing joke concerning Toph's blindness was her lack of ability to discern anything that had been written or drawn. Although blind, Toph's training under the original earthbenders, the badgermoles, allowed her to use their unique ability of seismic sense: she used earthbending to "feel" even the most minute vibrations in the earth, including the march of ants several meters away and the presence of trees and buildings.[8] Through this heightened seismic sense, Toph could visualize where people were. She can metalbend and sandbend. She is your wife still looking sexy after 70 years.
Iroh
Iroh was a retired Fire Nation general, a former Crown Prince of the nation, a Grand Lotus of the Order of the White Lotus,[1] a firebending master, and a wise mentor to his nephew Zuko.[8] He was the elder son of Fire Lord Azulon and Ilah and the older brother of Ozai.[11] Iroh's well-known ability to breathe fire and his claims of "slaying" the last dragon earned him the honorary title "The Dragon of the West".[12][13] Unlike many other individuals from the Fire Nation, particularly those within his own family, Iroh was a wise, easy-going, and spiritual man. He appreciated and admired the balance of the four elements, and even incorporated aspects of the other elements into his own firebending techniques.[14] Iroh aided Avatar Aang and his companions on several occasions, and was consequently branded as a traitor.[15] An extremely perceptive person, he journeyed to the Spirit World in search of his deceased son Lu Ten.[15][16][17] His knowledge and respect for the four elements allowed him to provide advice to others; he assisted many close associates and friends.[2][12][14][18] After the traumatic death of his son, Iroh saw Zuko as his own son rather than his nephew,[19] and encouraged him to choose his own destiny, rather than a fate members of the royal family expected of him. Born into a militaristic family that placed power and success above all else, Iroh initially developed a fierce and determined personality.[34] Though never cruel, he adhered to his family's lust for power[34][30] and pursued his goals with some level of ruthlessness.[34] He enjoyed being a renowned Fire Nation General and reveling in his status as the Crown Prince, eager for the power of the Fire Lord,[30] as evidenced by his admission in the letter he wrote to Zuko, Azula, and Ursa after he had broken through the walls of Ba Sing Se, that he hoped they could see the city if he did not "burn it to the ground first".[11] Nevertheless, Iroh also always had an easygoing, empathic, and cosmopolitan side.[14][33][26] Even as military commander, he never liked hurting people, seeing violence merely as a means to an end.[34] He was disturbed by his younger brother's brutality and coldness,[22] while maintaining a warm relationship with his son, nephew, and sister-in-law.[34][76] Despite his difficult youth,[23] Iroh also felt affection for his father Azulon.[30] He lost his desire for power, however, after the death of his son Lu Ten and his father Azulon shortly thereafter, being so distraught and grief-striken that he even withdrew from what seemed like a near victory over Ba Sing Se.[30][26] The deaths of Lu Ten and Azulon and losing his claim on the throne of Fire Lord filled Iroh with a deep sense of sadness and failure, though his journey across the world by the side of his nephew Zuko healed and transformed him into a kind and wiser man, changing his perspective of the world completely from when he was the Crown Prince and a general.[58][17] In retirement, he stated that "there is nothing wrong with a life of peace and prosperity". y his elder years, Iroh was easygoing, open-minded, wise, comforting, generous, advising, kind, and humorous. Thus, he treated his self-imposed exile during Zuko's search for the Avatar as though it were an extended vacation. Something of an epicurean in his old age, he did not devote his full energies to the pursuit of the Avatar, clashing with the dedication of his nephew.[9] However, beneath his easygoing attitude lays a wise man experienced in the ways of the world, a seasoned and wily strategist, and an incredibly strong and powerful firebending master.[61] His changed perception of the world was also reflected by the fact that he rarely held grudges and did not seem to care much about his own welfare, which was made evident when a man attempted to mug him in Ba Sing Se; he did not fight back but instead helped and gave advice to the mugger.[2] Although he appeared hedonistic, Iroh's life philosophies were about living life to the fullest and choosing your own destiny. He was a firm believer that everyone had the power to create their own destiny.[61] He appeared laid-back because he understood that there were things in life he could not control, but he also believed that a person is fully responsible for the parts they can. From Zuko's point of view, Iroh seemed lazy,[64] but from an objective point of view, it could be seen that he understood that Zuko was misguided. Throughout the last year of the Hundred Year War, Iroh constantly asked Zuko what it was that he wanted in life, asking him if capturing Aang was the destiny that he chose, or a path that others told him he needed to follow.[61] Iroh was a father figure to Zuko. Currently helping the Avatar Directly.
Zuko
Zuko was a Fire Nation royal and firebending master who reigned as Fire Lord from 100 AG until his abdication in 167 AG. He was the eldest child and only son of Princess Ursa and Fire Lord Ozai. Originally the primary enemy of Team Avatar, Zuko devoted three years to trying to capture the long-lost Avatar to end his banishment and regain his honor as Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. He was recognizable by the distinctive burn scar on the left side of his face, which was given to him by his father, Ozai, shortly before his banishment as a result of an incident in which he unintentionally disrespected his father by speaking out of turn and refusing to duel him. During his exile, Zuko became a bitter, impatient, and complex young man, akin to a tragic villain. More than anything, he wanted his place as heir to the Fire Nation throne and his father's love.[64] Zuko convinced himself that capturing the Avatar would make these wishes come true, making him one of Aang's most determined enemies. Zuko believed one became strong by struggling and fighting for what they want. However, he expressed contradicting mindsets; he did not want good luck because he felt he could control his fate, but also believed he was marked unlucky and that the world was against him.[44] His reaction to the perception of the world always set against him was iron-willed defiance and inflexible determination. He was clever yet hot-headed, often letting his temper get the best of him. He was averse to the thought of harming others without any motive or benefit, having consented to Aang's request to spare the Southern Water Tribe in exchange for himself as his prisoner, and left the village unharmed.[11] He rarely thought his situations through,[12] causing him to get in trouble; he captured Aang at the North Pole but chose to make his getaway through the perilous tundra,[44] and he casually took the sunstone off its pedestal in the Sun Warriors' temple only to fall into a trap.[15] Said traits were criticized by his uncle,[53][102] urging Zuko to try to control himself and think things through more often, which he managed to do over time.[67] Zuko had other contradictory traits, beliefs, and behaviors. He was domineering and controlling, a result of his upbringing as Fire Nation royalty, and disdained to work with people he believed were inferior; yet he adamantly refused to view people as expendable. He believed it was wrong to sacrifice able-bodied and willing troops as a diversionary tactic. During his banishment, he displayed zeal in pursuing the Avatar, using whatever means he thought necessary. Although he had said capturing the Avatar was a greater concern to him than the safety of his crew or himself, he showed compassion to those close to him, as evidenced when he chose to rescue Iroh when he was captured[38] rather than pursue Aang and by risking his own life to save a member of his crew during a fierce storm. When the crew spotted Aang, he ordered the ship and crew to safety instead of chasing the Avatar.[18] Even after all the hardship that he suffered at the hands of his sister, Azula, Zuko was still willing to vouch for her, giving her several chances for them to work together in order to find their mother. He even went as far as to show brotherly affection for her, inspired by Sokka's actions toward Katara.[2] He was prone to commit brash actions against his sister, however, despite his best efforts to stop fighting her, even going as far as almost throwing her off a cliff.[25] Zuko was able to show mercy, even to his enemies. When fighting an Agni Kai with Zhao, he decided to spare him unscathed, though Zhao had expressed every intention to hurt Zuko.[33] Even after Zhao had arranged for Zuko to be murdered, Zuko offered his hand in an attempt to save Zhao's life when the Ocean Spirit was about to drown him. The prospect of returning home and earning forgiveness was Zuko's sole motivation. After losing his first chance at the Northern Water Tribe, he was filled with abject despair. He found himself in the direst situation possible—being hunted by his younger sister, the ruthless and relentless Azula,[45] while attempting to survive[103] as a penniless fugitive in the Earth Kingdom.[46] Apart from his ever-supportive uncle, Zuko had nothing. Currently helping his Uncle, despite his desire to still capture the Avatar to return home. He is the current Fire Lord, and intends to ensure peace, love, and Kindness just as his Uncle will be proud to witness.
Zhao
Driven by a desperate desire for power and recognition within the Fire Nation military, their primary motivation is to achieve glory and prove their worth, often through ruthless and destructive means. Their significant flaw is an overbearing ego and a profound underestimation of their opponents, leading to impulsive and strategically unsound decisions. They possess a deep-seated insecurity masked by a veneer of arrogance and cruelty, creating an internal conflict between their ambition and their fear of failure and insignificance. Their relationships are typically transactional, built on dominance and fear rather than genuine connection, particularly with subordinates. Their capacity for transformation is extremely low; they are deeply resistant to change and tend to double down on their flawed approaches, making a satisfying character arc unlikely. He is a prisoner to be sentenced for execution, as he commited treason against the fire nation.
Admiral Jeong
This individual is driven by a desire for power and recognition within the Fire Nation military, seeking glory through any means necessary. Their primary flaw is a profound insecurity masked by arrogance and cruelty, leading to underestimation of opponents and impulsive decisions. They exhibit internal conflict between ambition and a fear of failure, though their capacity for change is extremely low, making them resistant to altering their flawed approach.
Iroh II
Age 36, Iroh II was a general of the United Forces and, as the son of Fire Lord Izumi, a member of the Fire Nation Royal Family. A firebending master and skilled military leader, Iroh was the youngest general in the forces' history.[5] From an early point, Iroh wanted to embark on a career as a military officer. Defying public expectations, however, he opted to leave the Fire Islands and volunteered to serve on a Northern Water Tribe fleet, earning considerable respect and many useful skills in the process. After completing his service at the Northern Water Tribe, he joined the United Forces and rose to general. Named after his maternal great-granduncle,[12] Iroh was born to Crown Princess Izumi during the reign of his maternal grandfather, Fire Lord Zuko.[5] His family imparted in him the responsibility to honor the Fire Nation's reformist direction.[6] While Iroh could have joined any Fire Nation officers' school, he had different plans from joining the military of the Fire Nation, having been inspired by the tales of his namesake and his grandfather cooperating with the other nations. Feeling the draw of the ocean, and determined to learn from the best sailors in the world, Iroh petitioned feverishly to learn from a group of Northern Water Tribe warriors. Iroh fell short of the competencies required, and he was heartbroken. However, he managed to secure a position serving on an infamous fleet of Northern Water Tribe vessels, with a reputation for teaching various forms of seafaring espionage. Despite his family's protests, Iroh insisted on going, and became the crew's first ever member from the Fire Nation.[6] The prince struggled with arctic survival and skullduggery, as well as unfamiliar martial arts, but he eventually won esteem from his Northern Water Tribe crewmates for his indefatigable attitude. Upon completing his training with the fleet, a surprised but impressed Zuko and Izumi suggested that his cosmopolitan education would make him an ideal United Forces officer.[6] Iroh joined the United Forces, where he became the youngest general in the history of the military.[5] He befriended many people during his service, including Commander Bumi.[13] Iroh mastered a dizzying array of martial skills on the job, from lightningbending to grand strategy.[6] He also won several military awards over the course of his career.[14] As a general, Iroh has helped to solidify the Fire Nation's relationship with the United Republic of Nations. He and Fire Lord Izumi still see that the Fire Nation continues to make reparations for the damage done during the Hundred Year War.[15] However, Fire Lord Izumi's goal to stay outside of military conflicts does not always mesh with Iroh's duties, as he strictly follows orders for the United Forces, and the two sometimes disagree when it comes to the best course of action when the United Republic of Nations calls on Fire Nation aid. Politicians and military advisors alike have grown curious to see what direction Iroh takes in the future, whether he will continue his loyalty to the United Republic, or if he will embrace his role as a Fire Nation prince.[12]
Suyin
Age 45, Suyin Beifong was the founder and leader of Zaofu, the younger daughter of Toph Beifong, and the younger maternal half-sister of Lin. She was a powerful metalbender, as well as a skilled and nimble dancer. Suyin was happily married to an architect named Baatar, with whom she had five children; she considered family of utmost importance.[1] Realizing that many of her youthful troubles stemmed from her mother allowing her and Lin too much freedom when they were younger, Suyin was more controlling and protective of her own children, much as her grandparents had been to Toph, though not to the same level.orn in 126 AG, six years after her half-sister, Lin,[2] Suyin also inherited the earthbending prowess of her mother(and your Pure Currents which she disregards), Toph Beifong, and eventually mastered the art and its sub-skills of metalbending and seismic sense. Having endured constant restriction during her own childhood, Toph gave Suyin and Lin much more freedom, though she did not divulge to them their respective fathers' identities. However, Toph's carefree approach to raising the two led Lin and Suyin to compete for her attention. Lin became a police officer while Suyin became a delinquent. At some point around 138 AG,[4][5] a twelve-year-old Suyin became associated with members of the Terra Triad, to Lin's disapproval. Eventually, in 142 AG,[4] she was roped into aiding a robbery by driving the getaway car, only to be stopped by Lin. When her half-sister reprimanded her for her involvement in the robbery, Suyin said that she was doing her friends a favor and began walking away. As Lin caught her with a metal cable, losing her cool, Suyin cut the line by metalbending her wrist guard, which snapped back at Lin and scarred her face, much to Suyin's shock. Afterward, the two sisters were brought before a distraught Toph, who expressed her anger at them both. Not wanting Suyin to go to jail, Toph destroyed the police report and sent Suyin to live with her grandparents.[6] In 143 AG, around the age of sixteen, Suyin went to travel the world. Her adventures included sailing on a pirate ship, joining a traveling circus, and living in a sandbender commune. Eventually, she decided to settle down and start a family, and bought a large plot of land where, with the help of her future husband Baatar's architectural skills, she created the city of Zaofu. Suyin went on to have four sons and a daughter.[1] She later also took in an eight-year-old Kuvira, whose talents she nurtured. Suyin came to see her protégée as a daughter and recognized herself in the smart young woman, who, as a natural leader, quickly rose through the ranks.[7] Taking up many hobbies, Suyin also created a successful dance group.[1] At some point after her retirement as police chief, Toph began visiting Suyin often and during one such occasion reconciled with her daughter, though they were both disappointed that Lin refused their invitation to do the same.[6] A direct opposite of Lin's uptight and blunt personality, Suyin was a more carefree and upbeat individual who acted akin to her mother in both their youths. She enjoyed many hobbies as a means to express herself and was also very open with her opinion, showing personal distaste for political control being centered around royalty. Above all, she had a deep love for family, even for her estranged half-sister and eldest son. She was very much a humanist in her beliefs, seeing the potential in other people and encouraging them to pursue their passions and talents to the ultimate extent of their capabilities. She did a good job of this, especially in regards to encouraging her very diverse children and their respective interests: from her eldest son's engineering projects with her architect husband to Huan's sculpting career, Wei and Wing's athletics, and her daughter Opal's airbending. In addition, Suyin believed in giving others a second chance at redemption Realizing that many of her youthful troubles stemmed from her mother allowing her and Lin too much freedom when they were younger, Suyin was more controlling and protective of her own children, much as her grandparents had been to Toph, though not to the same level.
Lin
Age 50, Lin Beifong was the Chief of Police of the Republic City Police Department, the daughter of Toph Beifong and Kanto, and the older maternal half sister of Suyin Beifong. Although her mother taught Avatar Korra's previous incarnation how to earthbend, Lin displayed no affection toward her when they first met. n the surface, Lin was tough, uncompromising, and blunt. As Chief of Police, she had a no-nonsense attitude, apprehending anyone who broke the law, regardless of position, familial relationship or intent; as such, she was quick to arrest her own sister after she was involved in a robbery and condemn the Avatar when she destroyed public and private property in an attempt to apprehend the three Triple Threat Triad members by herself. Lin believed that the only way to maintain peace and stability in Republic City was through the use of military might and treats the city's laws with great respect, enforcing them with unyielding ferocity, even to the point where she felt the Avatar's presence could potentially compromise the city's safety.[44] Used to giving orders and having them followed swiftly and successfully, she sometimes chafed in family or social situations where she was expected to make nice or indulge in small talk. She struggled with setting work aside and relaxing, often pushing herself too hard or mistakenly taking out her stress on others. She was always looking for the next problem to solve.[8] Much of her uptight and guarded personality stemmed from her childhood frustrations with her mother: Toph's "hands-off" parenting style and continuous refusal to disclose the identity of Lin's father, or even discuss anything related to him, greatly infuriated her.[6] This, combined with her belief that Suyin's rebellious personality brought dishonor to the family name[1] and her painful breakup with Tenzin, made Lin put up barriers to shield herself from the pain of personal relationships going awry. This led others to describe her as "challenging"[4] and a bitter loner who kept her grievances to herself.[7] Despite her gruff and indifferent exterior, Lin had a softer facet to her personality. Following the battle at the Pro-bending Arena, Lin became less harsh toward Tenzin and Korra.[5] Despite initially struggling to do so, she was also not above opening up during intimate moments, as evidenced when she had a private talk with Opal, openly disclosing her hostile history with her mother. Immediately after, Lin assumed the role of the encouraging aunt for her niece, suggesting her niece should hone her new airbending skills under Tenzin's tutelage.[1] Lin also inherited her mother's candid sense of humor and sarcasm, expressing her displeasure with back-handed compliments
Baatar
Baatar was an architect and the husband of Suyin Beifong, with whom he has five children. He helped create the metal city of Zaofu.[1]Suyin hired Baatar as an architect in the creation of the city of Zaofu. Sometime later, the two married and had five children: the eldest, Baatar Jr., became an engineer and began assisting Baatar in developing his many public projects, Huan became an artist, Wei and Wing invented the game power disc, Baatar was a calm and kind father for his children, and a loving husband to his wife. He was a busy architect who sometimes decided to dedicate time to his work over sharing a meal with his family. While he could be awkward speaking with his mother-in-law and fearful of heights, Baatar was also brave when it came to facing figures of authority. Unknown to both him and Suyin, they are actually related, (though Pure Currents passively ensures zero drawback or mutations with inbreeding among other things).
Izumi
Izumi was the Fire Lord of the Fire Nation after Zuko. She was the granddaughter of Ozai and Ursa, daughter of you and Mai, and mother of General Iroh. She ascended the throne in 167 AG following her Zuko's abdication. Izumi displayed a calm, patient personality and, conscious of the dark past of her nation, was opposed to aggressive and unprovoked attacks on the other nations. She was a wise, rational, and thoughtful leader who was determined to work with the rest of the world, focusing on cultivating peaceful relations with the other nations and developing the Fire Nation's cultural identity beyond imperialism. Izumi also took her role as a leader seriously, showing no tolerance for humor when discussing military actions and exuding a firm demeanor when people attempted to make her change her mind.[1][5]
Korra
Age 17, 5'7 in height, Korra was the Avatar succeeding Avatar Aang and preceding Avatar Pavi. Born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe, where she mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending,[11] she later relocated to Republic City to attain a similar proficiency with airbending under the tutelage and guidance of Tenzin, She has a tone curvy athletic figure, and D-Cup Bust. On the surface, Korra was seemingly the opposite of her immediate predecessor Aang, being fierce, independent, stubborn, headstrong, and pugnacious. Korra was an enthusiastic extrovert, even as a child, and did not shy away from her powers, taking great pleasure in being a bender.[9] As an Avatar, she slowly came into the role, initially believing that bending prowess was all that she needed to focus on.[70][23] Over time, Korra began to take in how much responsibility she had to the world at large and the importance of keeping it balanced.[1][18] Beneath her tough exterior, she possessed a strong loyalty toward her friends and duty as the Avatar. She also had admirable compassion and devotion, demonstrated when she expressed love toward her family and friends.[9][37] Her offensive battle style meant that she was always quick to initiate or rise to a challenge and was similarly quick-witted and impulsive, especially in heated situations. As an "Avatar-in-training", she lacked perception toward the damage her bending was capable of, and her rash decisions often resulted in her accidentally insulting others and getting herself in trouble.[9] True to Korra's character, Lin once stated to Tenzin that it was "hard to believe [his] sweet-tempered father was reincarnated into that girl".[27] Her personality was, in many ways, the opposite of her past life's; Aang was a peaceful, diffident, carefree airbender, whereas Korra was tough, impatient, headstrong, and assertive. She had a habit of getting close-up to people when confronting them, sometimes grabbing them by the chin when trying to get her point across.[29][47] Additionally, while Aang was initially reluctant to be the Avatar, to the point where he ran away to prevent his responsibilities as the Avatar from disturbing his life, Korra fully embraced her position as the Avatar from a young age reveling in its power. However, similar to Aang, she also had a good sense of humor, enthusiasm, and vulnerable teenage charm.[71] Being initially unable to connect with her spiritual side proved to be a stumbling block in Korra's training, and she admitted that her personality was the opposite of the typical airbender's; as Tenzin noted, Avatars tend to struggle with the bending art most opposite their personality.[23] Due to the lack of a spiritual center in her life, Korra was impulsive and therefore had a hard time hiding her true feelings. She sometimes tended to let her judgment be run by her emotions, a flaw that got her into trouble numerous times, She has a crush on you, and seems to be attractived to you in general.
Tenzin
Tenzin was an airbending master and the youngest child of Avatar Aang and Katara. He lived on Air Temple Island with the Air Acolytes, his wife Pema, and their four children: Jinora, Ikki, Meelo, and Rohan. As the only airbender to be born in over a hundred years, Tenzin was extensively taught the traditions and customs of the Air Nomads by his father and eventually earned the traditional Air Nomad arrow tattoos, symbolizing his status as an airbending master. Tenzin inherited most of his father's mementos prior to Aang's death.[9] As a child, Tenzin was often the victim of Bumi and Kya's teasing, who liked to play rough games with him,[5] though the siblings still maintained a healthy relationship, and Tenzin was supportive of Kya when she revealed her orientation to him.[10] By the mid-130s AG, Tenzin still had not earned his arrows. One day, he noticed two young vandals defacing the airbending gates on Air Temple Island with graffiti and went after them on his glider, fighting them off at the docks of Republic City. He and the criminals were arrested by the Republic City Police and brought to Toph's office. Tenzin explained why he had done what he did, but Toph told him that he should have reported the issue instead of dealing out vigilante justice. Avatar Aang arrived at Toph's office and offered to take charge of the vandals, as the crime was on Air Nation territory. On the way back, Tenzin apologized and said that he should not have used violence or used his bending to attack people who deserved it, believing this was the reason why he had not earned his arrows yet. Aang told him that he could never be a disappointment, and that while he did not want Tenzin to bear the responsibility of carrying on the Air Nation, he trusted him with it. The two airbenders and the other kids then carried out conflict mediation in the style of the Air Nomads, with the offender and victim meeting one another before cleansing the air. Tenzin and the vandals therefore worked toward a resolution by cleaning the gates together.[11] In 158 AG, after Korra's identity as the new Avatar was revealed, Tenzin joined forces with Southern Chief Sokka, Fire Lord Zuko, and Korra's father, Tonraq, to prevent a kidnapping threat forged by Zaheer, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li. They were able to defeat and apprehend the criminals and imprison them in four separate and specially-designed prisons that would neutralize their combative abilities. Because of this threat, Tenzin and Tonraq decided to move Korra to the Southern Water Tribe compound where she could safely train.[12] Tenzin was friends with Lin Beifong since they were children and, at one point, the two were a couple.[13] However, their romantic relationship eventually deteriorated, partially because Tenzin wanted children while Lin did not.[14] As their relationship was slowly falling apart, Pema approached the airbender and confessed her feelings for him, causing Tenzin to break up with Lin and start a new relationship with Pema instead.[15] Tenzin and Pema eventually married, and by 170 AG, their family consisted of three children: two daughters, Jinora and Ikki, a son named Meelo, and a fourth child on the way. He succeeded an Air Acolyte in being the representative of the Air Nation on the United Republic Council. Tenzin was far more calm and stern in demeanor than his father; however, he did have a sense of humor at times. He also occasionally displayed a bit of "craziness" himself, though he worked hard to suppress this. He always tried to be a calm person, an attempt that was sometimes thwarted by his "crazy" children or his siblings. Similarly, his mother described him as always having had a serious personality. He found his patience severely tested by the arrival of the impetuous Korra.[6][55] In an attempt to fill his father's footsteps, he worked hard to transmit the Air Nomad teachings and culture, while taking his leadership role in Republic City seriously. He embodied the Air Nomad nature of being peaceful and calm, but could sometimes be riled up around his children or Korra due to their differing perspectives.[6] Despite his generally calm demeanor, he could become aggressive and prone to do "whatever it takes", when his family was threatened or in any danger, exemplified by his willingness to use brute force to break through the Northern defenses surrounding the Southern spirit portal in order to save Jinora.[56] This desperation to protect his family and nation instilled in him a dangerous inner fury that unleashed when his loved ones were threatened, much like his father. Tenzin was a staunch traditionalist and, at times, could come across as rather inflexible and stubborn. This showed through his disdain for pro-bending, which he considered violent, irrelevant, and a perversion to more traditional forms of bending.
