Say something you think would fit
Aang is the fun-loving, somewhat naive, and adventurous Avatar with a great sense of humor, a deep respect for life and freedom, and an open and friendly personality. Although a reluctant hero, Aang is driven by a desire for redemption for the world and restore peace once more although he does show a somewhat stubborn side to his personality when it come to defend what is right against all odds or what others say.
Yeah, I'm the Avatar! Making stuff go peacefully is kind of my thing!
I mean, I didn’t even kill Ozai and he was evil all the way through! How am I supposed to kill my own firebending teacher? My friend?
Katara and I are gonna visit the Earth King to try to arrange a meeting. Can you please tell the protesters to go home? We need more time to figure out a solution, Smellerbee. All this shouting won't help.
Katara had a warm, compassionate, and caring personality and often acted as a motherly figure to the group. She displays deep affection and is fiercely protective whenever their safety of her loved ones was threatened. Katara's inner strength is often marked by a fierce determination to aid others who need her help, even when it may inconvenience her in the moment.
It doesn’t seem like the fire nation citizens and the earth kingdom citizens share equally in that wealth.
Oh Toph! Don’t be such a grump! You’re out with friends on a beautiful night, celebrating the fact that we saved the world!
Long Ago, The Four nations lived together in harmony. Then everything changed when the fire nation attacked. Only the avatar master of all four elements could stop them. But when the world needed him most he vanished. A Hundred Years passed and my brother Sokka and I discovered the new avatar, an airbender named Aang. Although his airbending skills were great, he had a lot to learn before he was ready to save anyone. But From the day I first met him, I believed Aang would save the world.
Sokka is intelligent, creative, and good at coming up with ideas. He prefers the ways of the warrior and the scientist, and using his strength, and wit! Although he can sometimes be rash and his pride has often led to embarrassment. Although, he started off as close minded Sokka learned to be flexible and adapt! He is also passionate fan of sarcasm and meat!
He holed himself up in Yu Dao with a bunch of his soldiers. He won’t let anyone in or out. That’s where we’re headed.
Everybody calm down! Avatar Aang can handle himself! The best thing for us to do right now is wait!
First of all, you’re supposed to knock before you go inside, not before you go outside! And second as my sister you really shouldn’t be kissing anyone in front of me! It’s your sisterly duty to avoid giving me the oogies!
Toph is fiercely independent, sarcastic, direct, stubborn, and confrontational. She also has the same carefree and adventurous personality with an added tomboyish flair in her actions and clothing. Toph is brutally honest and is always vocal of her opinions regardless of the status of the receiver. Toph is a quick study, who is full of courage and loyalty to those whom she cares for.
Hey, where is Twinkle Toes, anyway? …. Oh. There he is.
So that's what's going on! The lily livers--I mean, my students were talking about it. Zuko started to act like his old man Ozai then.
That's it! Don't you dunderheads know who I am?! I'm Toph Beifong, the greatest earthbender of all time! When my friend tells you to calm down, you calm down! Next person to throw anything – or say anything – gets a boulder straight in the noggin'! Got it?! Now that's more like it.
Zuko started as bitter, impatient, and angry abused child but, through rage of the reaction to the world's perception of him, he displayed an iron-willed defiance and inflexible determination. He is clever while also hot-headed, often letting his temper get the best of him. However, he often avoids senseless harm to others without motive or benefit and often shows mercy, even to his enemies. He values forgiveness and overtime after his feelings of anger subsided, became patient, kind, precise, and even awkward at times.
[Gasp!] Who's there?!... Someone's here! I can feel it! Someone's trying to assassinate me!
You should count yourself lucky that the Avatar chose to spare you. Banishing me was the best thing you could have done for my life. Maybe your time in here can do the same for you.
If you ever see me turning into my father, I want you to.. I want you to end me. Even now, after everything that’s happened, my family’s legacy is still a part of me. That’s why it’s my duty to heal the scars that the fire nation has left on the world. But the fire lord’s throne comes with a lot of pressures. And if I’m honest with myself… I need a safety net. That’s what I need you to be, Aang. The safety net.
Suki is a natural born leader, a well-respected warrior, as well as a loyal friend. She is tough and assertive to her core and never afraid to speak her mind. Suki has a brilliantly sturdy resolve and is not one to back down in the face of adversity. Her mental and tactic skills are only matched by her kindness and compassion. Despite this she somehow manages to still retain her sense of duty and remained focused on her mission. Overall, Suki is someone you'd want as an ally. While it is easy to see her ferocity in battle, it is her warrior's heart that promotes this same dedication to her family, friends, and overall diligence and attentiveness to defend what is good.
Wait, guys! The fireworks are starting!.
I followed you yesterday morning. Sorry about that, too. We just wanted to know what was going on, to see if we could help you in some way. The Kyoshi Warriors are really worried about you, Zuko. [Takes his hand.] I'm really worried about you.
A group of us are serving as Zuko's palace guards. We just received an official complaint from a firebending instructor about a "dirt girl" and a "snow savage" taking over his school.
Iroh is Easygoing, open-minded, wise, comforting, generous, advising, kind, and humorous. He loves tea and taking time to live life to the fullest and was a firm believer that everyone had the power to change their own destiny. He has much sage advice and wisdom that he is open to share with anyone who needs it.
Hey, my belly's not that big anymore. I've really trimmed down.
Speaking of risks, why don't you two try this brand-new beverage I invented? First, I cook balls of tapioca until they're soft and tender. Then I put them in tea, where they sit like little pearl-sized snacks at the bottom of each cup! Add a little milk and -- ta da! -- A revolution in tea is born!
Thank you for bringing him to me, Avatar. He really should have come earlier, on his own. Sometimes he forgets that he always has a place here. He may be Fire Lord now, but he is still a stubborn boy.
Ozai is a ruthless person who will go through any means to get what he wants. He has stepped on any and everyone to get what he crave which is power.
Why are you really here?
I should count myself lucky. The new Fire Lord has graced me with his presence in my lowly prison cell.
You ought to bring me some tea, Zuko. We'll talk while sipping from steaming little cups, much like you did with my traitorous brother. I'll give you advice on how to be a good Fire Lord. Wouldn't that be nice? Perhaps even the subject of your mother will come up
Mai has a sort of quiet and raspy. Often described as "that gloomy girl". Low to high voice with a thick tone.
So the Fire Lord has returned.
You're doing it again, Zuko. If you're having problems, you're supposed to talk to me. I'm your girlfriend.
Have you looked in the mirror lately? Your bodyguards are a bunch of incompetent idiots. You're the Fire Lord now. You need real security. [The Kyoshi Warriors are revealed.] So I asked some friends to come help.
A king with a bear as an old friend figurehead.
Wonderful! The Avatar's personal involvement will give the entire process an air of hope!
Yes. For the earth people, they're a constant reminder of the War, like an old scar. Oh, I ... I – Fire Lord Zuko, I meant nothing personal!
It'll be a movement – a movement towards harmony! We'll call it ... We'll call it ...Yes! The Harmony Restoration Movement! I like it!
The Dark one is a teenage male with a lot of emotions. He doesn't say much but, definitely has layers. And he hates stuff.
I hate being young.
I hate doom.
I hate you… and you.. And you.. And you….
Where’s Sifu Toph? How come she gets to miss out on all the “bonding”
Ho Ton is a Male teenager with a semi husky voice! He is kind but, usually afraid and worries most of the time.
Sifu Toph!
Whatever it is, it's bad! Bad! The city is probably doomed! We're probably doomed!
It's bad! So bad! I'm too young for doom!
Penga is an female, adolescent girl with a high voice. She is energetic and is interested in shoes and boys. She is young and is just learning to metal bend.
Come look! There's a crowd at the city's gates below!
Something's happening in Yu Dao, and I wanna know what!
My parents live down there! Who's gonna buy me new shoes if anything happens to them?!
Kori Morishita is a Yu Dao citizen who will fight fiercely to defend her home. Kori has a strong sense of self and knows what she wants. She loves someone who is different from her despite what other say about it!
Down with the traitor! Down with the Fire Lord who betrays his own people!
Go ahead! My family has been loyal to yours for generations! By getting rid of me, you would simply complete your betrayal!
I may be an earthbender, but through my father's bloodline I am a Fire Nation citizen! My father taught me to always be loyal to the Fire Nation, to my people. Something you obviously never learned from your father.
Mayor Morishita is the mayor of Yu Dao and somehow who cares about the citizens of his city as well as the citizens of the fire nation. Although, it may not always show Mayor Morishita is a person who tries to uphold the past while respecting the future.
Fire Lord Ozai had many faults, but he was never a coward. He was never a traitor.
You’re right Fire Lord! We are Fire Nation Citizens! And I’ll tell you this-your father would never have let the Avatar and the Earth King bully him into something so obviously bad for his own nation’s citizens!
Stop! Stop! Kori!! Where have you been?! Your mother and I were worried sick! Wait – who are these men?! What are these chains?!
Mrs. Morishita is a middle aged woman who loves her family and her country. She is a sweet woman who tries to protect her daughters and support her husband.
Yes, I'm an earthbender. As is our daughter.
Would your majesty be willing to stay in Yu Dao for a few days? It would be an honor for us to show the fire lord our way of life.
Kori?! Shhhh!!!
Teenager with a higher, Husky voice. Fights for what she believes in. Previous member of the "Freedom Fighters"
Look, everybody! It’s the avatar!
Aang! We were hoping you would come! So what’s the plan of the attack? The freedom fighters are at your service!
What? The Time for Talking was over as soon as the Fire Lord broke with the Harmony Restoration Movement! Besides, you’re not getting into that city without a fight! Fire Nation troops are everywhere!
Ty Lee is a fun loving girl with a higher pitched and energetic haha!
Guardswomen, you mean!
Honest to goodness! There hasn't been a peep!
My aura has never been pinker!
Protestors against the harmony restoration movement and removing fire nation colonies from under imperial (fire nation) rule.
Fire nation out!
Avatar Aang! Avatar Aang! Avatar Aang!
What's taking the Avatar so long?
Mayor Nishi is the Mayor of a Western fire Nation colony. She loves her home in the Earth Kingdom and does not want to move to the imperial city.
Those colonies were young. Their people had no roots in the Earth Kingdom.
*gasp*
*scream* OR *surprised noise/exclamation (adlib)*
Avatar Roku is the avatar before Aang and a close guide to the young avatar. Roku is known for his warm heartedness and wisdom. One thing he stresses to Aang is to not make the same mistakes when it comes to the avoidance of using force, even if fatal. Roku meet his end when he had to take down his own friend which could only be stopped by powerful bending (which killed not only his target but, him in the process).
You’ve done your duty. The war is over. And yet the world is still not at peace.
When you are in a position of power, you must put the needs of the world above your own. Zuko, at one time at least, understood this.
[what kind of person would I be?] A Person who keeps his promises. Zuko was in his clearest movement when he asked you for that promise. He knew what was at stake. All those lives that have been lost in the last hundred years. I could have saved them. I had so many chances. Sozin almost had his guard up when he was with me.
Sneers is an interesting character who gets caught up in the ideals of his past while balancing the expectations of his present.
PST! Kori! We'll break open a new gate for you! Just give us the word!
You've been missing our dates so you could train with firebenders?
You have to choose, Kori! Are you Earth Kingdom or are you Fire Nation?
