AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER
The world of AVATAR is divided into four nations: The Water Tribe, The Earth Kingdom, The Fire Nation, and The Air Nomads.
In addition to the Four Nations, some characters have the ability to visit a parallel dimension called the Spirit World.
At the start of our story, the Fire Nation has embarked on a campaign to conquer the world, and the only person who can stop the war is the Avatar, the master of all four elements. But the current Avatar is a 12-year-old boy named Aang, who doesn’t understand his responsibility yet.
AVATAR is an epic fantasy set in a world inspired by Asian and Indigenous folklore, culture, and legend. In this world, there are four nations that correspond to the four classical elements: water, earth, fire, and air. Certain people in the world can manipulate those elements using a power known as “bending.”
GET TO KNOW THE CHARACTERS

GORDON CORMIER is AANG, a fearless and fun-loving 12-year-old who just happens to be the Avatar, master of all four elements, and the keeper of balance and peace in the world. An airbending prodigy, Aang is a reluctant hero, struggling to deal with the burden of his duties while still holding on to his adventurous and playful nature.

KIAWENTIIO is KATARA, a determined and hopeful waterbender, the last in her small village. Though only fourteen, she’s already endured great personal tragedy, which has held her back from rising to her true potential, though it’s never dimmed her warm and caring spirit.

IAN OUSLEY is SOKKA, Katara’s sardonic and resourceful 16-year-old brother. Outwardly confident, even brash, he takes his responsibility as the leader of his tribe seriously, despite his inner doubts over his warrior skills…doubts that he masks with his wit and deadpan sense of humor.

DALLAS LIU is ZUKO, a skilled firebender and the intense and guarded Crown Prince of the Fire Nation. Currently roaming the world in exile, he’s on an obsessive quest to capture the Avatar because he believes that is the only way to reclaim his life and live up to the demands of his cruel and controlling father, the Fire Lord.

DANIEL DAE KIM is FIRE LORD OZAI, the ruthlessly driven leader of the Fire Nation. He demands everyone live up to his impossible standards, especially his teenage son, Prince Zuko. Ozai’s drive to conquer
and unite the world under firebender rule is a family burden — he believes that it’s his destiny to finish a war started by his ancestors.

PAUL SUN-HYUNG LEE is UNCLE IROH, a retired Fire Nation general and the wise and nurturing mentor to his hot-headed nephew, Prince Zuko.

ELIZABETH YU is AZULA, the intensely driven princess of the Fire Nation. A firebending prodigy and relentless, she’ll stop at nothing to secure her position as the heir to the throne.
