History Characters / AvatarSullyFamilyAndAvatarProgram

* FantasticRacism: She hates humans for what the RDA did to her family and her home. This results in her being cold and resentful towards Spider, both for his species and [[SinsOfTheFather who his biological father is]]. In a prequel comic she becomes impatient with a group of human scientists trying to save Kiri and drives them away saying "you've done enough". When Spider tries calling her out on her letting the actions of the RDA affect her perception on him and other humans she ignores him.
* FreudianExcuse: She hates humans (except for Grace and Jake who permanently became an avatar) for destroying her home and killing her people. In the extended edition it's also revealed that RDA soldiers [[spoiler: murdered her sister]]. She [[CharacterDevelopment becomes friendlier and warms up to humans (or some of them, at least)]] after getting to know Jake.

* InterspeciesFriendship: Develops one with the tulkan, Payakan.

* AntiAntiChrist: He's one from the Na'vi's perspective, he was a human in a Na'vi body who was supposed to get the tribe to leave Hometree so that it could be destroyed by the humans to harvest the mineral mine beneath, similar to how TheAntiChrist is supposed to be a SemiDivine demon in human form who will lead humanity astray. Instead he ends the movie by becoming their MessianicArchetype and saving them from the human's AlienInvasion.

* BecomingTheMask: The last line you hear is his narration "I can't be late to my own party. After all, it's my birthday." He means he will be joined to his Avatar permanently. This a CallBack to the Navi belief that every member of their clan is born twice. The second time is when they join the clan. Jake's second birth was permanently swapping bodies, as well as becoming a full member of the clan.

* GeniusBruiser: While he makes a few self deprecating remarks about his own intelligence, Jake really doesn't give himself enough credit. He has a keen mind for tactics, has talked his way into acceptance by two separate Na'vi clans, and learned a new language to a native level in less than ten years after starting as an adult.
* GoingNative: After falling for Neytiri and spending time with the Omatikaya, he comes to identify more with the Na'vi than the human soldiers. He even makes a full switch to his avatar, discarding his crippled human form.

* AngerBornOfWorry: When his sons Neyetum and Lo’ak leave their posts to grab a few weapons from the derailed train that was targeted by Jake and a raiding party, and find themselves shot at by an unexpected gunship, Jake fears they were both hit, and lays into both of them when they return home relatively unscathed.

** [[spoiler: After one of Quaritch’s men kills Neyetum, he goes out of his way to kill as many of them as he can before getting to Quaritch.]]

* PapaWolf: He’s fiercely protective of his children, which [[spoiler: Quaritch tries to exploit to goad him into a dual alone.]]

* ActionGirl: She's a highly skilled hunter and warrior, capable of fighting off several viperwolves at once singlehandedly, outflying a [[TheDreaded Toruk]] and holding her own against soldiers with far superior weapons and armour. She’s even more amazing in the second movie, mopping the floor with enemies left and right and not even slowing down [[spoiler: when her bow is broken]]. She doesn’t even lose a single fight in either film.

** Her reaction to [[spoiler: her son’s death is a gut-wrenching scream after shouting her son’s name and pleading with Eywa for it to not be true.]]

* DoubleStandard: While it’s reasonable for her to hold a degree of resentment towards humans for what the RDA, she is also resentful towards her own human allies yet her husband and descended friend were human. The main difference between Jake, Grace and Spider is that Neytiri got to know them through their avatars while all she sees when she looks at Spider is another human face.

** Subverted in the sequel where her prejudice towards humans causes her to see Spider as “trouble” despite his clear aversion to his peoples actions and loyalty to her family.

* MamaBear: She is quick to resort to threats to getting anything threatening anyone she cares about to back down, but anyone who harms or threatens to harm her children and she’ll turn the offender into pin-cushions without a second thought. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown If she has any arrows left, though]].

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Neteyam’s death sends her into a vengeance fueled rage and she viciously cuts down every single one of Quaritch’s men before threatening to kill Spider to get Quaritch to release Kiri.]]

!!Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk’itan

* BigBrotherInstinct: Is the eldest son and is very protective of all his siblings. He stands up for Kiri when the others make fun of her and tries to keep Lo’ak out of trouble. [[spoiler: He ultimately dies protecting his siblings attempting to rescue them from Quaritch.]]

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Due to her strange connection to Eywa, Avatar heritage, curious nature, and status as somewhat of a {{Cloudcuckoolander}} she is made fun of for being a “freak” by the Metkayina children. Norm and Max also dismiss her connection to Eywa as part of epileptic brain activity[[note]]to be fair, they do so while she is unconscious from having had a ''seizure'' while communing with Eywa underwater, with the symptoms very closely mirroring classic epilepsy[[/note]]. This causes some insecurity as she asks her father if she is crazy.

* FriendToAllLivingThings: Kiri’s kindhearted nature as well as her connection to Pandora makes her this.

!!Lo'ak te Suli Tsyeyk’itan

* NightmareFetishist: When exploring in the jungle with Spider, Kiri, and Lo’ak, she is curious to see if there are any dead bodies inside the crashed RDA vehicles.

* ThickerThanWater: The main reason [[spoiler: why he saves his father’s life in the climax, despite all the evil things Quaritch has done. Ultimately {{Downplayed}} though, as even though he rescues his father, he refuses to join him and returns back to Jake and his family.]]

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: Her avatar body has a very human-looking facial structure compared to Norm and Jake’s avatars, which pull off the Na’vi look a little better. This might be because hers was made using older technology.

* AcePilot: She’s one of the best pilots in the film, capable of navigating the Flux Vortex that surrounds the Hallelujah Mountains which interferes with the flying equipment.
* ActionGirl: She’s a combat pilot, though she doesn’t really start kicking ass until the latter half of the movie.

* CoolShades: Occasionally sports a pair when she’s out flying.

* SacrificalLion: [[spoiler:Gets killed to showcase how lethally dangerous the Recoms are.]]

* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Quaritch is significantly less trigger-happy when he's doing Take Your Kid to Work Day.]]

* YouAreGrounded: Jake grounds him near the beginning of ''The Way of Water'' for joining the train raid and convincing Neteyam to come along against Jake's orders, getting the latter injured and nearly killed. A rare case where "grounded" refers to both the more common "parent punishing a child" meaning and the original, literal sense of not being allowed to fly, as Jake specifically forbids him from flying for a month -- though Spider's capture and the Sullys' subsequent journey by ikran to the home of the Metkayina means that it doesn't actually last that long.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She takes her job very seriously and enforces a tight schedule, but deep down, she means well, she's just doing her job, that and she does care for the well-being and safety of her clients and partners.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She takes her job very seriously and enforces a tight schedule, but deep down, she means well, she is just only doing her job wisely with respect, that and she does care for the well-being and safety of her clients and partners.
