Avatar: The Last Airbender is a cartoon television series made by Nickelodeon. It has been on air since 2005 and has received the highest ratings as a cartoon in Nickelodeon.

The series takes place in a fantasy world. Humans in this world are divided into four nations, the Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Air Nomads, and the Fire Nation. In each nation there are groups of people called "Benders" who can control the element their nation is named for. The Bending types are Waterbending, Earthbending, Firebending, and Airbending.

[change] Plot

Airbender and avatar Aang is the last of his kind. It is up to him to save a nation from an attack by Firebenders. On his journey with waterbender Katara (who he likes romantically), her older brother Sokka, who cannot bend anything, but is smart, and Toph, a blind Earthbender who sees with Earthbending. Katara teaches Aang "Waterbending" and Toph teaches "Earthbending". An Avatar can master all four elements in this series. Also, the former bad guy, Zuko, joins Aang and teaches him Firebending. In the ending movie (Sozin's Comet), they succesfully stopped the war without killing the fire lord, Ozai. In the end, Katara and Aang kissed each other.

[change] Main characters

Aang (Zach Tyler Eisen) is the 12-year-old hero of the series. He is the current Avatar, the spirit of the planet in human form. As the Avatar, Aang must bring peace to the world.[1] As many episodes were seen, Aang is slowly maturing into liking his role as the Avatar. The blue arrow on his head, hands and feet are to show he is an Airbender.

Katara (Mae Whitman) is a 14-year-old Waterbender of the Southern Water Tribe. Due to Fire Nation raids, she is the only Waterbender left in the South Pole. In the first episode, Katara found Aang from the iceberg he was trapped in one hundred years ago. With her older brother Sokka, she travels with Aang with his goal to bring peace to the world. Katara is kind, responsible, and particularly like a mom.

Sokka (Jack DeSena) is a smart warrior of the Southern Water Tribe. With his sister Katara, he travels with Aang to defeat the Fire Lord. He is "meat-loving" and "sarcastic". His immature acts makes others underestimate his smartness.

Toph Bei Fong (Jessie Flower) is a 12-year-old,[2] Earthbender that cannot see. In the second season of the show, she leaves her rich family and home to join Aang on his goal, and to teach him earthbending. Though blind (she can't see), Toph "sees" with Earthbending; she feels the movements in the ground through her feet. Using this method, she eventually learns how to bend metal, a skill which may be unique to her.

Zuko (Dante Basco), 16 years old, was the former prince of the Fire Nation, and original bad guy of the show. In the first season, Zuko is obsessed with capturing the Avatar. He reveals that the quest is to restore his honor, and make him useful in his father's opinion. His father, Fire lord Ozai, thinks that Zuko is useless. The most obvious thing he has in his face is a scar over his left eye, which he received during a Agni Kai with his father. After that battle, he was forced to leave the Fire Nation.[3] Over time, Zuko tries to stop being angry; meanwhile, he joins the Avatar in his goal to defeat the Fire lord.

Azula (Grey DeLisle) is the 14 year-old[2] princess of the Fire Nation. She is Zuko's younger sister and one of the bad girl of the series. She can make lightning.

Iroh (Mako in seasons 1 and 2, Greg Baldwin onwards) was a Fire Nation general and Prince Zuko's uncle. Being the older brother of Fire Lord Ozai (who is the last fire lord that was with the war), Iroh was supposed to be the Fire lord.[4] A great Firebender, he acts to Zuko as a son more than as a nephew, especially after the death of his own son, Lu Ten.
