History Characters / AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheAvatar

[[folder:In general]]

* KilledOffForReal: Well, they're all dead by the events of the series, but when [[spoiler: Unalaq merges with Vaatu and destroys Raava, all the spirits of the past Avatar's were destroyed and did not return when she did. Meaning that Korra and no future Avatar may ever consult or see Aang or any of the previous Avatars ever again.]]

* DeaderThanDead: [[spoiler:His soul was erased from Raava along with the other previous Avatars by Vaatu]].

* WomenAreWiser: Yangchen has the most successful tenure of the four and Kyoshi ended hers without regrets because the Da Li weren't corrupt under her watch. [[note]] As a spirit, she regretted their creation because they ultimately became corrupt. [[/note]] On the other hand, Kuruk is ''still'' making up for his mistakes three generations later and Roku is riddled with guilt.

* CatSmile: She has these moments with her friends.
** She sports one, at the begining of Book 2, when she's sharing a cotton candy with her boyfriend.
** During the series finale, she sports one [[spoiler: after Asami tricks Tenzin into leaving them alone.]]

* GutturalGrowler: A minor example. When he appears to Tenzin in the Fog of Lost Souls, he has a more gravelly voice than he did in previous flashbacks. Justified since he's clearly older than he was when he defeated Yakone, and we are likely seeing Aang at the age he died, and how Tenzin last saw him.

* TeensAreShort: Averted, WordOfGod has stated she's above-average for a woman at 5'7". But people often get this impression of her because her father towers over her ([[GentleGiant because he towers over everybody]]), and both of her love interests are taller than her: [[TallDarkAndSnarky Mako]] is 6'2", and [[spoiler:[[StatuesqueStunner Asami]] is estimated at around 5'10", not counting the heels she often wears.]]

* TeensAreShort: According to the art book, he's about 4 1/2 feet. For comparison, Katara is not even 5' and she's still about a head taller than Aang.

* BoobsOfSteel: Korra is one of, if not ''the'' most physically capable character on the show. She is also very well endowed. Someone did the math ([[BlatantLies For Science, of course]]) that based on her height and measurements, she'd had to be sporting a 36D in her teens and that's ''without'' factoring in whatever support she's wearing (see HiddenBuxom below.) below). This gets downplayed in Book 4 as she's lost body mass from her years of relatively inactive recovery.

* HiddenBuxom: To an extent. She already has BoobsOfSteel, but on the one occasion she is seen out of her athletic martial arts outfit, and in a formal evening gown, her bust is shown as much larger than normal, suggesting her normal outfit is designed to compress her chest for practical reasons. So she stands as a already busty character who is actually hiding a much larger bust.

* HurtingHero: Aang is the last of his people alive and under tremendous pressure to save the world.

%% TheHero

* TheHeroine: She is the Avatar and main character.
