THE AVATAR
AANG
Aang is a hero—a 12-year-old hero who likes to stir up trouble. Raised by Airbender monks in a temple hidden in
the mountains, Aang is the last Airbender and the only known survivor of the Air Nomads. It's Aang's destiny as the Avatar
to master all four elements—Air, Water, Earth and Fire. But he'd rather search for adventure than save the world. Though
he's very spiritual, Aang doesn't like being known as the mythical Avatar or being the center of attention, he just wants
to be a normal kid. Aang loves animals, especially his giant flying bison, Appa, and his pet winged-lemur, Momo. He's quick
to take detours along his journey, much to the dismay of Katara and Sokka, and he's a master of getting himself into sticky
situations. Luckily for all three of them—and the rest of the world—he's pretty good at getting out of them too.

Momo is Aang's pet winged-lemur. He's super smart and totally trainable, and is able to perform many human tasks. Momo
has a very enhanced ability to hear and smell, allowing him to sense danger from miles away. But he's also a bit of a troublemaker.
To Aang, Momo is a symbol that his people are still alive, as winged-lemurs were once a favorite pet of Air Nomad kids. Aang
devotes much of his time and energy training and playing with Momo, and Katara often joins in. Sokka, on the other hand, thinks
the flying creature is kind of creepy.

S OKKA
Katara's brother Sokka is a typical teenager who believes his way is the only way. While he shows the strength and determination
of a warrior, Sokka lacks the experience to use them effectively. Sokka doesn't let his lack of bending abilities bother him,
though. He thinks Benders are what got the world in trouble in the first place. Unlike Aang, Sokka doesn't go for the spiritual
stuff and doesn't trust anything he can't see or touch. He prefers tools and weapons to bending and his most prized possession
is a boomerang given to him by his father. Sokka is loyal, courageous and protective of his sister (ok, maybe overprotective
sometimes). Sokka always feels like he gets the short end of the stick, and because of this he carries a huge chip on his
shoulder. But when push comes to shove Sokka always comes up with an ingenious way out of trouble.
KA TARA
Katara is a 14-year-old girl with a big heart who's determined to save the world—or at least
never stop trying. Katara wants to live up to her potential and become a Waterbender in order to save her tribe, but she's
still learning to control her powers. Focused and determined, Katara practices the art of waterbending every day in order
to be prepared the moment she meets a master Waterbender. Katara wears her mother's necklace which gives her strength and
courage when she needs it the most. Mature beyond her years, Katara is the glue that holds the group together. And she does
her best to keep Aang out of harm's way...which makes waterbending look like a piece of cake.
