Avatar: The Last Airbender still stands as one of Nickelodeon's best animated TV shows of all time for many reasons. Avatar features some rich worldbuilding, excellent themes of forgiveness and redemption, slick action scenes, and most of all, delightful characters for cartoon fans to meet. For all its fantasy action sequences and mystical lore, Avatar: The Last Airbender mainly shines with its excellent cast of characters.
Avatar's characters are all richly fleshed out with their own strengths, flaws, insecurities, hopes, emotional depth, and much more, and some have gone on to become pop culture icons. A handful of them left a lasting impression on Avatar fans thanks to their meaningful dialogue, great comedy, dramatic moments, and their heroisim or chilling villainy.
10 Weirdest Avatar & Korra Characters
Characters like Uncle Iroh, Guru Patik, and Chong have weird quirks that make them stand out.10 Avatar Aang Is the Goofy Kid Who Saved the World Without Killing Anyone
More About Avatar Aang:
- He was going to start Avatar training early
- Aang has met all of the original bender masters: the Moon Spirit, badger moles, dragons, and sky bison
Avatar Aang, as the protagonist, made a strong impression and kept impressing fans again and again after that. Aang's character was a curious blend of monk wisdom, Air Nomad detachment, kindness, anger, and goofing off. That made Aang feel well-rounded as he fought to save the day without compromising his Air Nomad principles.
Aang felt like many different protagonists in one, and that, more than his impressive Avatar State, made him memorable and give Avatar: The Last Airbender fans a lasting impression. Even if Aang was a goofy kid who sometimes made mistakes, he was also an inspirational boy who was wise and powerful beyond his years.
More About Toph Beifong:
- Toph has trained two Avatars, those being Aang and Korra
- Toph is the only Team Avatar member with a surname
Avatar: Toph Beifong Related to Zuko Better Than Aang Ever Did
Toph and Zuko didn't share much screen time in Avatar: The Last Airbender, but even so, it's clear they have a lot in common as wayward heroes.Toph Beifong the earthbender made an unforgettable first impression when she first appeared in Book Two: Earth. Toph was far tougher and more powerful than her appearance would suggest, creating a disconnect that made her cool rather than confusing. She also had a slick personality, complete with witty barbs and a tough-girl persona with a hidden vulnerable side.
Toph's character could have been a burly man like The Boulder, and she almost was, but then the creators of Avatar opted to give that role to a small girl Aang's age, and that made for a highly unique character indeed. Toph also stood out by pioneering an all-new bender style, something no one on either side of the war was ready for.
8 Ty Lee Was Determined to Stand Out With Her Acrobatics
More About Ty Lee:
- Ty Lee is one of seven sisters
- Ty Lee is the first known Fire Nation native to join the Kyoshi Warriors
Plenty of villains in Avatar received meaningful development, and that included the cheerful, athletic Ty Lee, a skilled acrobat. She could not bend, but she was a well-trained martial artist who could use chi blocking to shut down a target's bending. That helped Ty Lee stand out in a series where elemental bending dominated the combat system, and it took Katara by total surprise.
Aside from that, Ty Lee was memorable because she was allied with a supervillain like Azula but didn't have a villainous personality at all. Instead, Ty Lee longed to set herself apart and get people's attention to compensate for her home life, where she had six identical sisters. Ty Lee also amused fans with her one-sided crush on Sokka, a rare example of enemies having affection for one another.
7 King Bumi Was a Silly Old Man But Also an Earthbending Master
More About King Bumi:
- Bumi inspired the name for Aang and Katara's firstborn son
- Bumi is the only character who taught Aang how to use jing in battle
King Bumi, the benevolent ruler of Omashu, immediately stood out thanks to his quirky appearance and wacky personality. He was over a century old, but he was still a strong and capable earthbender who liked to think outside the box. That was a trait he kept from his childhood, during the days he and Aang were friends.
Bumi had more than his snorting chuckle and earthbending skills to make him stand out. He also intrigued Avatar fans when he told Aang to focus on the true foundation of earthbending: wait and see. That provided insight into earthbending, proving it was about far more than throwing rocks. Bumi embodied that strategy when he waited until his time finally came to retake Omashu by force.
6 Azula Showed What Happens to Prodigies Who Are Pushed Too Hard
More About Azula:
- Azula's name may refer to her blue fire
- Azula is the only named firebending woman in the series
Avatar: The Last Airbender: Azula's Major Battles, Ranked
Azula is one of Avatar: The Last Airbender's most ruthless villains. She showcased immense strength and power which led to the series' best battles.Princess Azula made a terrifying impression during her debut in Book Two: Earth, and she kept it up right until the end. Azula was clearly a spoiled prodigy who was too used to being the best, which reflected in her arrogant, demanding personality as Fire Nation royalty. And while her brother Zuko had some good in him, Azula only cared about power, respect, and domination, and little else.
Azula was on top of her game for some time, including when she betrayed Long Feng to capture Ba Sing Se, but it all came crashing down in Book Three: Fire. Azula was strained to the breaking point, and she didn't know how to handle the pressure of her father's expectations any longer. That led to her unraveling and finally losing to Zuko and Katara.
5 Mai Was Grouchy But Still Believed in the Power of Love
More About Mai:
- Mai has never been seen hitting someone's body with her daggers
- Mai's name refers to her sleeves in Cantonese
For a time, it seemed Mai made a serious effort to not stand out or make a lasting impression, but paradoxically, that made her stand out all the more to Avatar fans. Unlike the intense Azula and the cheerful Ty Lee, Mai was a real downer, a grouchy and pessimistic girl who seemed annoyed by everything around her. Still, she was a brave fighter who was loyal to Azula for a time -- she was no slacker.
Mai amused fans when she rekindled her romance with Zuko, with them paying weird compliments to each other such as "You're so beautiful when you hate the world." Mai made an even stronger and more lasting impression when she showed her true colors during the Boiling Rock battle, and turned on Azula for the sake of her love.
4 Hama Invented Bloodbending to Escape, Then Get Revenge
More About Hama:
- Hama is the first known bloodbender
- Hama's name resembles the Greek word for "blood"
Even if Hama was a "monster of the week" villain in Avatar, she stood out from all the rest thanks to her sinister bending art and her episodes' horror vibes. Decades ago, Hama was captured in her native Southern Water Tribe, then invented bloodbending over the years in captivity to engineer her escape. Then she settled down in the Fire Nation.
In the present day, Hama presented herself as an ally to Team Avatar, bonding with Katara over their shared heritage and bending style. Then Hama revealed herself to be a twisted, vengeful monster who used bloodbending to capture innocent Fire Nation citizens and trap them in a mountain. Hama then turned on Team Avatar until Katara defeated her with bloodbending. Hama was captured and taken away, but not before she made a taunting laugh, applauding Katara for embracing bloodbending.
3 Sokka Was the Idea Man For Team Avatar
More About Sokka:
- Sokka was mistaken for the Avatar twice, between the show and comics
- Sokka's two lovers both have names referring to the moon
Avatar: How Sokka's Unique 'Rizz' Makes Him Different From Other Ladies' Men
What about Sokka consistently earned him interest and affection from some of the most powerful women in Avatar: The Last Airbender?Sokka stood out because he could do almost everything except bend. He pressured himself to be his tribe's #1 warrior and leader while his father Hakoda was away, and even if Sokka often fell short and made mistakes, he heroically soldiered on as a fighter in the Hundred-Year War. He also stood out because he had a minor redemption arc, shedding his backward-minded attitude about female warriors in light of the Kyoshi Warriors' abilities.
Sokka made Avatar fans laugh as the top comedic relief character thanks to his pratfalls, biting sarcasm, and love of meat. He wasn't just a joke, though. Sokka was a smart, resourceful person who helped his many allies design and use all kinds of vehicles and weapons, and it was he who helped plan the eclipse invasion.
2 Iroh Dispensed Essential Wisdom For Zuko, Aang, and Toph
More About Iroh:
- Iroh invented the technique to redirect lightning
- Iroh could bend lightning but never shot it at a person
- Iroh was the namesake for his great-grandnephew
Iroh the retired general always served as Prince Zuko's voice of reason and conscience, and his gentle, wise ways made him a lovable character from the very beginning. Even if Iroh was supportign the villainous Zuko, Iroh was clearly a good person with many inspirational ideas and quotes to share.
Iroh pushed Zuko to redeem himself and find a new destiny independent of the Fire Lord's idea of honor, and eventually, it worked. No matter Zuko's temper, mistakes, or betrayals, Iroh never gave up hope on his beloved nephew, and it paid off in the end. Iroh was also a capable warrior and leader, but he greatly preferred peaceful things, such as tea, friends, and games of Pai-Sho. All that made him an inspriational, heartwarming standout.
1 Zuko Found His True Destiny and Became a Benevolent Fire Lord
More About Zuko:
- Zuko fought in every Agni Kai seen in the series
- Zuko was the only character to get a solo episode in Avatar: TLA
Prince Zuko stood out for many reasons, and not just his antagonistic role in Book One: Water. He may have been an angry villain, but it was evident Zuko was conflicted, and he definitely had a good side that showed itself more and more as the series went on. By Book Two, Zuko was undergoing some much-needed changes as an antihero, making him even more compelling.
It wasn't clear until near the series' end which side Zuko would take, but it was worth the wait. Despite his bumbling and awkward efforts, Zuko clawed his way to redemption and let go of his quest to regain his honor from Ozai. Zuko earned Team Avatar's trust and respect, which said a lot, and he became the new Fire Lord, promising a new era of peace and healing. Zuko's incredible arc made him a standout star, one whom Avatar fans will never forget.
