Nice Hat is no longer a trope

* ChildrenAsPawns: When Sokka and Katara were children, he conspired with Bato's clan to have them kidnapped, gravely insulting Emperor Kvichak (Hakoda's father) so he could manipulate Kvichak and Kuskok (Bato's father) to battle each other. Hakoda knew Kvichak would lose, so his intention was to become emperor that way.

* WellDoneSonGuy: Downplayed compared to canon, but still here. Ozai gave far more attention to Azula in their childhood because of her firebending, and went all up and down the archipelago to find her a master. Zuko never felt like his father had any expectations for him compared to her.



* MyGreatestFailure: In a life that she perceives to be full of failures, her inability to help Kya or Katara is her greatest one.



* OpposedMentors: She opposes Hama; both are (or have been) mentors to Katara in her waterbending.



* PeoplePuppets: Years ago, she learned bloodbending along with Hama. After Hama teaches it to Katara, [[spoiler:Kanna teaches it to Sokka]].

* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Normally can't use bending, but she has a (yet undisclosed) ability due to her connection with the Nightseer, a spirit that represents the night. This ability supposedly shows itself on a new moon.



* SealedEvilInACan: [[spoiler: She's the can for the Nightseer]].
** LeakingCanOfEvil: [[spoiler: On new moons, the Nightseer's power results in any spirits around Yue going dark. After the worlds begin merging and the Nightseer enacts her plan to walk free in the mortal world, it results in Yue corrupting living people with darkness as well]].



* OpposedMentors: With Kanna. Katara is Hama's current student, but she used to be Kanna's.



* TheSvengali: [[spoiler: She is revealed to be Katara's mentor because she seeks to use Katara's status to attain power for her clan and for herself. Katara doesn't take it well]].

* {{Foil}}: To Aang, especially [[spoiler: when it is revealed he's from another world ravaged by war, just like Aang. His world was almost completely destroyed by various wars and natural disasters, however, and he found his way to another world almost by accident. He signifies what Aang might have become if the loss of his world drove him to extremes]].
* MergerOfSouls: [[spoiler: Like Iroh, he merged with himself from another world. Unlike Iroh, he did it for more power and he also merged with his selves from ''all'' the worlds]].



!!Raava and Vaatu

* DarkIsEvil: Unlike her "father," Vaatu, she is pretty evil through and through, and does not really have any redeeming qualities.

* DemonicPossession: She intends to do this to Yue in order to physically manifest in the world.
* OxymoronicBeing: Only Raava created other spirits in her attempts to preserve herself and her light. Vaatu, the Destroyer, does not create things. But he did try once, and the Nightseer was the result.

* MilesGloriosus: In "Zhao of the Fire Nation" when he is introduced, he spends a lot of time regaling the kids with tales of his exploits serving under Ozai. Aang doesn't buy them for a second.

* TookALevelInBadass: Since she's a stand-in for the canon Katara, she too goes through the journey of mastering her firebending.


Added DiffLines:

* DaddyIssues: Unlike Azula, Katara hates her father for his abusive tendencies and works on her own agenda.
* DarkActionGirl: She proves herself to be just as powerful of a waterbender as the canon Katara. Only this time, she's on the bad guys' side.


Added DiffLines:

* EvenBadWomenLoveTheirMamas: Katara's love for her mother remains even as a villain.


Added DiffLines:

* EvilWearsBlack: She's mostly dressed in black when not in her Water Tribe dress.

Added DiffLines:

* {{Ninja}}: [[spoiler:As the Blue Spirit]].
* PerpetualFrowner: Unlike her counterpart, this Katara constantly has a deadpan, eerie frown on her face. When she's not doing this, she sports a PsychoticSmirk.
* PsychoticSmirk: She loves doing these, especially in the heat of battles.


Added DiffLines:

* WarriorPrincess: She's the Princess of the Water Tribes, but she specifically trained by herself in spite of her kingdom's sexism and is highly respected as a bender among her father's militia. Sure enough, she's fierce in battle.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalJerkass: He was a good father to his kids in the canon verse. Since this Hakoda is a stand-in for Fire Lord Ozai, he also gained the AbusiveFather title and ''gouged out Sokka's eye''.


Added DiffLines:

* ActionGirl: Comes with being part of Katara's AmazongBrigade.


Added DiffLines:

* WeaponOfChoice: Fights with a sword.


Added DiffLines:

* AdaptationalVillainy: Like the rest of the Water Tribe, while he was an ally of Team Avatar in canon, this Bato is malevolent, due to being Zhao's counterpart.

* HealTheCutie: Over time, the story of ''Distorted Reality'' seems to be building toward this, as Aang slowly comes to term with his past traumas and gradually rebuilds the person he used to be.



* LoveRevelationEpiphany: Averted. [[spoiler: He reveals that his feelings for Azula grew naturally, and over time, and so gradually that he didn't realize it himself at first until she left the rest of Team Avatar with Katara. It's a direct contrast to the LoveAtFirstSight he initially had with Katara]].



* LovelyAngels: With Katara in Book 3, most prominently in the "Stormblood, Part 1" and "Stormblood, Part 2" chapters.



* ShockAndAwe: She eventually learns how to do it after being taught by Lo, Li, and [[spoiler: her other self]].



* CripplingOverspecialization: Early on, Azula accuses him of this when it comes to his fighting with broadswords. He even tries to ''hunt'' with them. For Zuko, fighting with broadswords was something Azula didn't have, and it was the only type of training he ever received while everyone else in the village focused on trying to find a firebending master for Azula, so he wanted to do it well to the point of stubbornly avoiding other weapons. It isn't until his initial training with Mai where he relents and becomes more of a CombatPragmatist.



* OvershadowedByAwesome: Not to the same extent as Sokka in canon, but he occasionally felt left out in the original trio when it came to the bending abilities Aang and Azula shared. He had no problem being the only nonbender in the group until [[BadassNormal Ty Lee]] came along, exacerbating his buried insecurities. Thankfully, since Book 1 starts in the Fire Nation, he meets Piandao a lot earlier than Canon Sokka did, and gets training. [[spoiler: And even later, he becomes a firebender]].



* TheConfidante: For Aang. She is the first person he openly reveals [[spoiler: his feelings for Azula]] to, and he's generally very open and vulnerable with her due to being the one most similar to the other Toph back home.



* BigBrotherInstinct: He gains it for [[spoiler: Sangmu]].



* LovelyAngels: With Azula in Book 3, particularly during the "Stormblood" chapters.



* UtopiaJustifiesTheMeans: She confesses to Azula that she thinks a world unified by the Water Nation would be a peaceful one, and that only her father is strong enough to rule it. [[spoiler: She eventually changes her mind on that last bit, though]].



* GodhoodSeeker: A variant; along with turning all of his people into waterbenders, Suki suspects that Arnook might even want to become a spirit.



* SuperEmpowering: Suki reveals that she thinks this is Arnook's goal - by making his society as spiritual as the airbenders used to be, then perhaps the Nightseer will give everyone the ability to waterbend and gain the upper hand in the war.



* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: He reveals his status as TheCynic to Haru when Haru asks why Ghashiun won't help them. Ghashiun thinks that there's no use fighting against the Water Tribes anymore, as their victory in the war nears closer and closer.



* TheMedic: She [[spoiler: devises a spiritbending technique compatible with earthbending, which enables her to purify spiritual corruption within peoples' bodies]]. She uses it to heal [[spoiler: Rafa and Misu]] after Koh the Face Stealer corrupted their spirits.

Added DiffLines:

* [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan Single Woman Seeks Good Woman]]: Despite being on opposite sides of the war, it was always Yue's good heart that attracted Nagi to her, even through her own confusing feelings, and she frequently assures Yue that the latter is a truly good person.

* UnreliableNarrator: Nini was forced to leave the igloo when Hakoda arrived during Kanna's flashback, so she is not privy to the true events of what happened that night. As such, when Katara finds her in the modern day, she can only reveal what she knew or suspected - that Hakoda killed Emperor Kvichak and framed Kya for it, and she believed Kanna was in on the ploy. But she's wrong - [[spoiler: Kanna killed Kvichak completely independently of Hakoda, but Hakoda did not want it getting out that his mother had to kill her husband. But Hakoda couldn't take the blame either, or risk being labeled as a kin traitor. As such, he turned it around and pinned the blame on Kya, which Kanna has kept silent all these years, to her regret]].

* BadassLongrobe: As standard for a member of the Dai Li.



* InTheHood: She's described as wearing a head covering. Combined with a NiceHat, since she has the conical hat that is typical of Dai Li uniforms.



* TheMedic: She [[spoiler: devises a spiritbending technique compatible with earthbending, which enables her to purify spiritual corruption within peoples' bodies]]. She uses it to heal [[spoiler: Rafa and Misu]] after Koh the Face Stealer corrupted their spirits.

Added DiffLines:

* DemonicPossession: All of their spirits are "clinging" to their Distorted world counterparts due to the merging worlds. For most, this isn't a big issue, as they're the heroes and they're not trying to force their counterparts to do anything they wouldn't already do. But it causes a ''lot'' of problems for Azula, and later [[spoiler: Ozai]].


Added DiffLines:

* LivingEmotionalCrutch: Toph is this to her Distorted world self while [[spoiler: she's stuck in the Spirit World and [[TheBlank faceless]]]], more or less keeping her anchored to prevent LossOfIdentity.
