Aang is a fictional character voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen in the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. As the series central protagonist, Aang first appears in the February 21, 2005 series premiere "The Boy in the Iceberg."
The twelve-year-old Aang is the last surviving Airbender, a monk of the Air Nomads' Southern Air Temple. He is also the current incarnation of the Avatar, the spirit of the planet manifested in human form. As Avatar, Aang can control all four elements and is tasked with keeping the Four Nations at peace.
Both a comic free spirit and the series' reluctant hero, Aang spends a century in a state of suspended animation before joining new friends Katara and Sokka on a quest to master the elements and save their world from the war waged by the imperialist Fire Nation.
Fictional Character Biography
Background
Aang, the current incarnation of the Avatar, was born upon the death of Avatar Roku, the previous Avatar incarnate. During his childhood, Aang was housed, raised and educated at the Southern Air Temple hidden in the Patola Mountain range--one of the four Air Nomad temples. In early childhood, the temple elders discovered Aang was the next Avatar when in a ritual test, he chose four specific toys out of thousands. These four toys were those chosen by past incarnations when they were children, each symbolic of a given element. [1] As Aang grew older, the temple elders kept him ignorant of his status, and fostered his natural Airbending talent through vigorous training. As a result, Aang achieved mastery of Airbending at the young age of twelve, illustrated by his invention of a new Bending technique: the Air Scooter, a large, moving ball of air ridden by balancing on its top.
On a trip to the Eastern Air Temple, Aang was given his flying bison Appa, who became a close friend and the primary mode of transportation for himself and his party. In keeping with his people's nomadism, Aang travelled the world on Appa's back, making new friends from different nations, and becoming well-versed in their cultures and customs.
Shortly after Aang achieved mastery, the temple elders revealed to Aang his status as the Avatar. Usually, the Avatar is told of his/her true identity only after turning sixteen. However, the monks, fearing imminent war with the Fire Nation, knew the Avatar would soon be needed to help maintain balance. After the revelation, Aang soon began to feel overwhelmed with the burden of his position. His peers ostracized him for his unfair advantage in airbending skill, while his caretakers pressured him to mature into his responsibilities too quickly for Aang's liking.
The only monk sympathetic to Aang's feelings was the elder Monk Gyatso, Aang's airbending mentor, guardian and father-figure. When the burden weighed heavily on his favorite student, Gyatso offered respite through jokes and games. Though Gyatso believed that Aang should be allowed a comparatively normal childhood, the other elders disagreed. Citing Gyatso's attachment to the boy as an interference in Aang's training, they overruled Gyatso, and decided to send Aang away to the Eastern Air Temple, oblivious to the fact that Aang had eavesdropped on their caucus.
Confused and frightened by what he'd learned, Aang fled from his home with Appa. While flying over the ocean, turbulence from a sudden storm caused Appa to crash into the sea. Reflexively entering the Avatar state, Aang used waterbending to freeze Appa and himself in an ice sphere, putting them in a state of suspended animation in the icy waters surrounding the South Pole.
Soon after Aang's disappearance, the Fire Nation staged a genocidal assault on the Air Nomads. The Air Temples were stormed and the monks and Air Nomads slaughtered in an effort to break the Avatar Cycle and kill Aang before he reached maturity. Ironically, Aang's entrapment in stasis spared him from the massacre, leaving him as the last known Airbender in existence.
Book One: Water
After one hundred years, Aang and Appa are freed by Katara and her brother Sokka. Aang and Katara board an abandoned Fire Navy ship but accidentally set off a booby trap, signaling to Prince Zuko the location of Aang and the nearby Southern Water Tribe village.[2] Upon returning to the village, Aang is banished by the suspicious Sokka, but returns to save the village from Zuko and his men. Afterward Aang, Katara, Sokka, and Appa set off for the Northern Water Tribe to find a waterbending master to instruct Katara and Aang. [3]
The group first travels to Aang's former home, the ruined Southern Air Temple. On learning of his people's genocide, a grief-stricken Aang activates a shrine, alerting the Fire Sages to his existence. He also finds Momo, the last remaining winged lemur, who joins them on their journey.[4] In "The Winter Solstice", Aang meets his previous incarnation, Avatar Roku, and learns that he must master all four bending arts (waterbending, earthbending, firebending, and airbending) and defeat Fire Lord Ozai before summer's end, when the return of Sozen's comet will empower the Firebenders to finally win the war.[5]
In "The Deserter" Aang recieves rudimentary Firebending instruction from rogue master Jeong Jeong. Initially reluctant to train the unready Aang, Jeong Jeong relents after being goaded by a vision of Avatar Roku. Aang begins basic training, but soon becomes impatient, demanding to learn advanced techniques. His lack of control causes him to accidentally burn Katara's hands. As a result, Aang resolves never to firebend again.[6]
Reaching the Northern Water Tribe in "The Waterbending Master", Aang finds a Waterbending master, Master Pakku, who takes Aang on as a student, but refuses to teach Katara because tribal custom prohibits women from Waterbending. Aang decides to secretly teach Katara what he's learned, but is quickly discovered by Master Pakku, who bars Aang from furthur lessons. The next day, it is publicly revealed that Katara's grandmother fled to the Southern Tribe to escape an arranged marriage to Pakku. Realizing that his strict adherance to custom is foolish, Master Pakku agrees to teach both Katara and Aang.[7]
In "The Siege of the North", when the Fire Nation attacks the Northern Tribe, Aang journeys to the Spirit World to seek the help of the Ocean and Moon spirits. There he learns of Admiral Zhao's plan to kill the Moon Spirit, but returns to the material world too late to stop its murder.[8] Aang then channels an enraged and vengeful Ocean Spirit in the Avatar State, using their combined might to drive off the invading forces. Balance is restored when Princess Yue gives up her life to restore the Moon Spirit.[9]
Book Two: Earth
In The Avatar State, Aang and his friends arrive at an Earth Kingdom base, whose General Fong tries to willfully induce Aang's volatile Avatar State for offensive use in the war. He succeeds, but Aang learns that, were he to die in that state, the Avatar cycle would be broken, and the Avatar would cease to exist.[10] Aang later meets Toph Bei Fong, a blind Earthbender master. who joins the group as Aang's Earthbending teacher in "The Blind Bandit".[11]
While traveling, Aang and his friends discover a hidden library guarded by a spirit in "The Library". Inside, they find out that a solar eclipse will occur in the summer before the arrival of Sozin's comet, rendering the firebenders powerless. Leaving the library, Aang discovers that Appa was stolen by sandbenders. Filled with anger and grief, Aang becomes uncharacteristically bitter.[12] He enters the Avatar State once again in "The Desert" when confronting the sandbender responsible for the theft. The group finds out that Appa was sold and may be in Ba Sing Se. Eventually overcoming his grief, Aang and his friends journey towards Ba Sing Se to inform the Earth King about the solar eclipse that could be central to ending the war.[13]
In "City of Walls and Secrets", the group encounters Long Feng, Grand Secretariat of Ba Sing Se, who hints vaguely that he has information on Appa's location, and warns them not to step out of line.[14] In "Lake Laogai", they learn that Long Feng has kept the war secret from the Earth King, and is planning to overthrow him. They eventually infiltrate Dai Li headquaters, where Appa is imprisoned. A fight ensues, but Appa, freed by Zuko, arrives and provides means of escape.[15]
The team returns to the palace and successfully informs the Earth King of Long Feng's treachery and the reality of the war. Comforted by the knowledge that the Earth King is preparing for war, the group separates temporarily and Aang travels to the Eastern Air Temple to find Guru Pathik. In "The Guru", Pathik tells Aang that to achieve complete control over the Avatar State, all seven chakras within his body must be opened. He is able to unblock six of them, but has trouble with the seventh, the chakra associated with earthly attachments, as he is unwilling to let go of his love for Katara. When he has a vision of Katara in danger, Aang abandons the ritual and rushes back to Ba Sing Se, with Sokka and Toph in tow.[16]
In "The Crossroads of Destiny", Aang manages to find Katara and they try to escape, but are confronted and eventually overwhelmed by Azula, Zuko and Dai Li agents. Aang succeeds in entering the Avatar State, but is killed when Azula strikes him down with lightning. Katara manages to escape with Aang and revives him with water from the spirit oasis.[17]
Book Three: Fire
After weeks in a coma, Aang wakes up heavily bandaged and finds out that the world believes him dead.[18] After stealing Fire Nation clothes, the group continues their journey. While travelling, the group gains a new enemy, an assassin hired by Prince Zuko, who firebends with his third eye.[19] Aang also learns that Avatar Roku and Fire Lord Sozin were best friends in youth, but became ideological enemies as they grew older.[20]
Eventually, the group reaches the rendezvous point for the invasion on the day of the solar eclipse.[21] On their way to the Fire Nation, Aang confides in Katara about his worry that he might not come back. He then kisses Katara and takes off on his glider. Aang arrives at the palace to find it deserted, and realizes that Ozai knew of the invasion plan. With Sokka and Toph, he discovers the Fire Lord's secret underground bunker but is stalled by Azula until the eclipse ends, dooming the invasion to failure. With no other choice, Aang, his friends and the younger members of the invasion force flee on Appa to seek refuge in the nearby Western Air Temple, while their elders stay and surrender.
Characteristics
Aang is fun-loving, naive, and adventurous. Michael Dante DiMartino, the show's co-creator, said "We wanted Aang to solve problems and defeat enemies with his wits as well as his powerful abilities."[22] He possesses a deep respect for life and freedom; he does not eat meat[23] and is often reluctant to fight.[24] He craves the stimulation of new people and places; in short, he is the consummate tourist. His frequent off-course detours frustrate both allies and pursuers alike,[25] especially the schedule-oriented Sokka. Yet Aang has always prided himself on a complex social network of friends extending over all four nations, and war will not stand in his way.[2] In addition, he looks forward to playing with all the exotic fauna in each place he visits.[3] Whether it's penguins,[2] hog-monkeys or gigantic eels,[25] no fit animal Aang sees goes un-ridden. Even the largest of predicaments do little to dampen his gregarious personality.
Aang feels a terrible guilt and burden in his duties as Avatar. Very much the reluctant hero, he wishes he had been there to help his people a century ago, but would still rather live a child's carefree life.[1] This initially caused him to conceal his true identity from friends,[3] and he still has a tendency to slack off in his studies of the Bending Arts,[8] even though he naturally excels.[26]
With his people extinct and few living peers (excepting the aged King Bumi and Guru Pathik), Aang cares deeply for those close to him, even to the point of deceiving others to keep the group together. In "Bato of the Water Tribe," Aang heard that Katara and Sokka might leave the group to visit their father, so Aang hid the map showing his whereabouts and lied about having it in the first place.[27] As well, Aang has developed a love for Katara, which he was unwilling to sacrifice to achieve the control of the Avatar State.
However, events in the Earth Kingdom, have taken a toll on his care-free personality. Aang's attitude changed dramatically after Appa's abduction. He became enraged and hostile, particularly toward Toph, who had been unable to stop the abduction in absence of the others.[12] Despite Katara's attempts to him, Aang's anger grew until he flew off to search for Appa alone. On his return, Aang remained visibly upset, even violently lashing out at a Buzzard-Wasp that attacked Momo. When Toph tells Aang that Sandbenders stole Appa, he enters the Avatar State and destroys their sand gliders, only to be calmed down by Katara.
As he infiltrates the Fire Nation, Aang takes delight in a brief stint as a schoolboy "The Headband", and pulling numerous scams in "The Runaway". However, by "Nightmares and Daydreams", Aang suffers acute insomnia, worried that he is unprepared to fight Ozai, and still knows little Firebending.
Avatar
Bending
As the incarnation of the Avatar, Aang possesses the ability to bend all four elements. Already an Airbending master, he has made impressive progress in other elements, except Firebending, as he has not found a master to instruct him. Though naturally gifted in the Bending Arts,[26] Aang's lack of focus has allowed his Waterbender friend Katara to surpass him in skill.[8]Now he must learn from her, as his former Waterbending teacher, Master Pakku deemed her a master.[9] He is an extremely skilled Waterbender, and in the episode "Bitter Work," Katara tells Aang he has the reflexes of a Waterbending Master.[28] That being said, the gap between Katara and Aang in waterbending ability appears to be narrowing.
Since Earth is the opposing element of Air, Aang finds Earthbending especially challenging. He had difficulty learning Earthbending's simple offensive techniques from Toph in Bitter Work, preferring his habitual evasive maneuvers. However, when he confronted with a need for direct opposition, rather than avoidance, he successfully stood his ground to defend Sokka, using Earthbending in earnest.[28] By the time of "The Drill," his skills have improved dramatically, when he comfortably uses Earthbending in combat against Azula.[29] He appears to have achieved mastery in Earthbending by the time of "The Tales of Ba Sing Se," creating a giant zoo with his bending,[30] and by fending off hundreds of Earthbenders in "The Earth King".[31] By the time of The Runaway he has at least begun learning how to see with earthbending like Toph does. Later, he incorporates his Airbender's staff into his Earthbending, much like Avatar Kyoshi incorporates her fans into her bending.[10] It is possible for Aang to bend two elements at the same time, as demonstrated in "The Tales of Ba Sing Se."[30] He has little skill with fire, but has received a rudimentary object lesson in breath control and Firebending. When he was briefly instructed by the fugitive Firebending master Jeong Jeong, he ignored warnings to restrain himself and accidentally burned Katara.[6] Newly respectful of fire's destructive power, he has not used Firebending since, and has vowed never to firebend again, although, as Guru Pathik said in "The Guru," he will eventually have to in his capacity as Avatar.[16]
As the Avatar, Aang is quite possibly the most powerful Bender in the world; he once used his Airbending skills to halt a massive lava flow without entering the Avatar State.[32] His predecessor, Avatar Roku died attempting a similar feat. Additionally, Aang has exceptional natural talent towards all bending, performing Waterbending on his first try when Katara took several months to learn the same form,[26] and assuming a perfect Earthbending stance on his first try.[28] However, Aang is loathe to use his skills in battle, preferring to solve problems non-violently. Even when forced into combat, Aang typically holds back, fighting defensively and trying to subdue opponents without serious injury, even if they are not human.[24] This attitude is reflective of Air Nomad philosophy, which promoted vegetarianism and nonviolence, and taught that all living things are precious.
The only exception to Aang's pacifism is when his friends are threatened; in which case, he gets very angry and relentlessly attacks his opponents, sometimes even entering the Avatar State.[10]
In The Deserter, Jeong Jeong says that to master Firebending, Aang, as the Avatar, will need to first master the other Bending Arts in their natural order--Air, Water, Earth and Fire--implying that the disciplines of one Bending Art will support the disciplines of the next Bending Art in order--'evade and avoid' - 'redirect and turn against the opponent' - 'standing one's ground and enduring' and 'pre-emptive first strike'. In Bitter Work, Iroh comments "It is important to draw wisdom from many different places. If we take it from only one place, it becomes rigid and stale. Understanding others, the other elements, and the other nations will help you become whole...It is the combination of the four elements in one person that makes the Avatar so powerful," as he reveals how a Waterbender's technique of redirecting energy enabled him to develop his own technique to redirect a bolt of lightning--proving that the disciplines and Principles of one Bending Art support the disciplines and principles of another Bending Art. Other than his brief training with Jeong Jeong, Aang is yet to begin Firebending. During the same episode, Jeong Jeong said in a brief exchanging of words with Admiral Zhao that "I have never seen such raw power", a reference to Aang's bending prowess.
By Book Three, Aang can easily fight and bend blindfolded, similar to Toph's style, in "The Runaway", practicing a three way fight with Toph and Katara. In "The Day of Black Sun", Aang easily dispatches a Dai Li agent protecting Azula using his earthbending, though he had difficulties wearing her down.
Spirit
Aang is the newest incarnation of the spirit of the planet, which has been continually reincarnated since time immemorial. The passage of reincarnation moves from the population of the Air nation to the Water, Earth and Fire nations in order. The most recent incarnations were Avatar Roku (fire), Avatar Kyoshi (earth), Avatar Kuruk (water) and Avatar Yangchen (air). Aang often receives advice and guidance from Avatar Roku, the previous Avatar incarnation. Born into the Fire Nation in life, Roku is a benign force in spirit, serving as Aang's advisor and protector. On the Winter Solstice, after informing Aang of the impending return of Sozin's Comet, he manifested himself to defeat a group of Firebenders holding Aang's friends hostage. (When Roku manifests, his voice can be heard behind Aang's when he speaks.)[33] He has guided Aang several times since, appearing to Jeong Jeong to persuade him to teach Aang,[6] offering critical wisdom in the ways of the Spirit World during "The Siege of the North",[9] and most importantly, revealing to Aang the nature of the Avatar State.[10] Roku recently revealed to Aang his past relationship with Fire lord Sozin as was explained in The Avatar and the Fire Lord. This was so that Aang could have an understanding of how the war began so that he could decide how to end it.
After receiving a letter from Guru Pathik in "The Earth King",[31] Aang journeys to the Eastern Air Temple to learn to control the Avatar State. Guru Pathik reveals that the secret of entering, controlling, and leaving the Avatar State by free will lay in the 'releasing' of seven chakras. Aang has little trouble with the first six, but struggles with the seventh - earthly attachments, namely, love. Aang's love for Katara, accompanied by a vision of her in dire need of help, captured in Ba Sing Se, causes him to leave the Guru and return to Ba Sing Se. Guru Pathik states that Aang's refusal to let Katara go has 'locked the final chakra' and disallowed him to enter the Avatar State at all. .[16] Later, in "The Crossroads of Destiny", however, Aang begins to open the Seventh Chakra and enter the Avatar State by doing just as he had been told - letting go of his attachment to Katara. However, moments after entering the Avatar State, the process is interrupted as he is struck with lightning from behind by Azula, killing him and removing him from the State. Fortunately, after their escape, Katara is able to use the water from the spirit oasis to resurrect him.[17]
However, Azula's lightning locked his seventh chakra, cutting off his cosmic energy from the universe.
Medium
The Avatar also has the capacity to act as a medium, a bridge between mortal world and the Spirit World, the plane of existence where the universe's disembodied spirits dwell. Through inducing a deep meditative state, Aang can separate from his body and travel the physical world's astral plane in astral form,[24] or, with the help of a gateway, travel completely to the Spirit World. Once in the Spirit World, Aang can travel freely and communicate with beings such as Avatar Roku or Koh the Face Stealer. This position as intermediary also allows him to channel other spirits while in the Avatar State. He once acted as the Avatar of the Ocean Spirit to defeat the Fire Nation during the siege of the North Pole.[9] He has also channeled the spirits of previous Avatars, namely Roku,[33] and Kyoshi.[34]
