| 20 | '''The Cast''' |
| 21 | * Mr. Edwin Rupert Udite: The Benders' mentor, a retired English scientist with a long white beard who mysteriously disappeared, wheelchair and all, several years ago. Every week he sends them self-destructing cryptic messages which inevitably lead to the gang getting tangled up in the Dark Council's latest plot. |
| 22 | * [[{{AATAFOVS/Avatar}} Avatar]] |
| 23 | * [[{{AATAFOVS/Solo}} Solo]] |
| 24 | |
| 25 | [[folder:Sue]] |
| 26 | One of the lead characters from the hit TV show ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers'', Sue plays the standard role of TheBigGuy in the heroes' FiveManBand. As such, [[CuteBruiser she occasionally makes use of a 45-pound dumbbell]] while fighting the forces of darkness. |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Over time, Sue's bodybuilding has paid off in SuperStrength, evidenced as early as the [[{{AATAFOVS/EpisodeGuide}} Season 2]] pilot ''AATAFOVS/LondonFalling''. This skill has since proven especially helpful in close combat in episodes such as ''AATAFOVS/ThroughAGlassNerdly'', ''AATAFOVS/FridayLiteBrites'', and ''AATAFOVS/TheHomeland''. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Still, do not confuse her with the SilentPartner, since she makes her point of view known every-so-often, if for purely practical reasons. While it has been hinted that Sue has a secret crush for [[{{AATAFOVS/Nerdly}} her fellow Bender Nerdly]], this has almost never been substantiated with the exception of the Season 2 episode ''AATAFOVS/ThroughAGlassNerdly'' and the Season 3 episode ''AATAFOVS/{{Revelations}}''. |
| 31 | |
| 32 | Overall, Sue has appeared in every episode involving the Benders as a team. While generally unused in {{Fanservice}}, she enjoys a significant level of visibility and maintains minor popularity. |
| 33 | [[/folder]] |
| 34 | |
| 35 | [[folder:Nerdly]] |
| 36 | Nerdly is a leading character in the popular TV series ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers''. He is generally TheSmartGuy on the team, and has in later seasons taken to providing exposition for complex plot details. While the [[{{AATAFOVS/EpisodeGuide}} Season 1]] pilot ''AATAFOVS/AThreeHourTour'' and official series descriptions hinted at a crush on fellow team member {{AATAFOVS/Cleo}}, this was never followed up on, perhaps due to the fact that Cleo was preoccupied with yet another member, [[{{AATAFOVS/Solo}} Solo [=McPotter=]]]. The issue has likely been buried, [[spoiler:since Cleo left the team early in Season 3, becoming part of the [[{{AATAFOVS/EvilDramatisPersonae}} Dark Council]].]] |
| 37 | |
| 38 | Sadly, Nerdly's utility is diminished by the fact that he is only ''smart'', not actually a GadgeteerGenius. That's {{AATAFOVS/Avatar}}'s job. As a result, there is a degree of role overlap between the two. Nerdly received a degree of character development in the Season 2 episodes ''AATAFOVS/ANerdInTheBand'' and ''AATAFOVS/ThroughAGlassNerdly''. We met his potential future self in ''AATAFOVS/TheFutureIsNow''. |
| 39 | |
| 40 | Beginning with the comic arc ''[[{{AATAFOVS/OmenFromTheFutureArc}} Omen from the Future]]'', viewers were introduced to the Nucleus persona, a virus which corrupted Nerdly several times through a complicated sequence of time travel, nanotechnology, and organ transplants. See ''AATAFOVS/BackInBlack'' and the three-part-sequence beginning with ''{{AATAFOVS/Seduction}}''. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Still, Nerdly is the veteran of several fights, including ''AATAFOVS/TheHomeland'' and ''AATAFOVS/BlowsThatHurtMost''. |
| 43 | [[/folder]] |
| 44 | |
| 45 | [[folder:Cleo]] |
| 46 | Cleo has [[spoiler:in the past]] been a main character on the show ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers'' for several seasons. Considered by most fans to be stunningly attractive, she generally fills the position of TheHeart in the Benders' FiveManBand. Official character descriptions first mentioned her having a "thing" for fellow Bender [[{{AATAFOVS/Solo}} Solo [=McPotter=]]]. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | Unfortunately, Cleo received very little character development. In the end, her prime contribution to the group was the fact that nearly every episode involved some form of {{Fanservice}} on her part. These included frequent ClothingDamage and ...er... various ''accidents''. It is actually easier to list episodes that did ''not'' in ''some'' way make use of Cleo's role as MsFanservice: |
| 49 | * AATAFOVS/BadDayAtRamboRock |
| 50 | * AATAFOVS/AvatarGetsSuedByGeorgeLucas |
| 51 | * AATAFOVS/AMagmanicConfrontation |
| 52 | * AATAFOVS/APiratesLifeForMe |
| 53 | * AATAFOVS/TheFutureIsNow [[spoiler: (assuming getting AIDS does not qualify as fanservice)]] |
| 54 | * AATAFOVS/CanOfDoomyDoomness |
| 55 | * {{AATAFOVS/Schooled}} |
| 56 | * AATAFOVS/DownTheSeriesOfTubes |
| 57 | * AATAFOVS/IdolHands |
| 58 | * AATAFOVS/OmenFromTheFuture [[spoiler:possibly; details about this episode are largely unknown]] |
| 59 | * AATAFOVS/TheDaysOfKnight |
| 60 | |
| 61 | And to be clear, this was over the course of some 30 episodes. A number of the above have very brief descriptions, indicating that at least two could contain Cleo fanservice we are not aware of. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | [[center:SPOILER WARNING]] |
| 64 | |
| 65 | [[spoiler:Unfortunately, Cleo was aware of her frequent wardrobe malfunctions, and hated her role with a passion. This was revealed in the episode ''AATAFOVS/BattlesOfTheMind''. In the following episode, ''AATAFOVS/BlowsThatHurtMost'', she mercilessly killed the BigBad (this was the conclusion of the the three-part Season 3 premiere). She promptly gained psychic powers and left, quickly joining the Dark Council.]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | [[spoiler:As a result, Cleo was replaced by {{AATAFOVS/Krystal}}.]] She is expected to appear in numerous future episodes. |
| 68 | [[/folder]] |
| 69 | |
| 70 | [[folder:Fluffykins]] |
| 71 | The heroes of ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers'' are a FiveManBand. But every band needs a TeamPet, and that's where "Fluffykins" comes in. '''[[{{ViewerGenderConfusion}} She]]''' started out as {{AATAFOVS/Sue}}'s pet kitten, but has [[{{CharacterDerailment}} evolved in leaps and bounds]] to fill a larger role. Literally. Here we have a timeline of her progression from kitten to occasional DeusExMachina. |
| 72 | * In the episode ''AATAFOVS/FortyTowels'', Fluffy swallowed a [[{{GreenRock}} crystal fragment of unknown origin]] and gained the ability to turn into a giant snake. |
| 73 | * ''AATAFOVS/AvatarGetsSuedByGeorgeLucas'', "Fluffykins manages to use the Force." |
| 74 | * ''AATAFOVS/APiratesLifeForMe'' through the Season 1 finale, ''AATAFOVS/CitadelOfEvil'', Fluffy was the pet of [[{{AATAFOVS/EvilDramatisPersonae}} pirate Admiral Black]]. This was explained in the ensuing [[{{AATAFOVS/AVeryBendyChristmas}} Christmas Special]]. |
| 75 | * In the mid-Season 2 episode ''AATAFOVS/ANerdInTheBand'', Fluffy speaks, if only to take part in a NoOneCouldSurviveThat. |
| 76 | * ''AATAFOVS/FridayLiteBrites'', she demonstrates her athletic ability in more than one SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome. |
| 77 | * ''AATAFOVS/MojaveBlues'', the snake-form now has wings. No one noticed. |
| 78 | * In the first three (pilot three-part) episodes of Season 3, Fluffy gains a near-ridiculous amount of importance. |
| 79 | ** By the end of ''AATAFOVS/FarFromTheNest'', she begins talking ''and someone notices''. |
| 80 | ** ''AATAFOVS/BlowsThatHurtMost'', viewers learn that she has extensive psychic powers. This is {{Handwave}}d by discussing the effects of Story Gate radiation. |
| 81 | |
| 82 | And by that point, she can transform into a small dragon. There is assumed to be some reason that she is not frequently a part of combat, but no one has figured it out yet. |
| 83 | [[/folder]] |
| 84 | |
| 85 | [[folder:Krystal]] |
| 86 | Krystal is the newest member of the FiveManBand on ''JustForFun/AvatarAndTheAirbendingFellowshipOfVampireSlayers''. Yes, she is a CatGirl. [[{{OurVampiresAreDifferent}} However, she does not follow the classic model]]. While there are the standard ears and sharp claws, there are no CuteLittleFangs, or a tail for that matter. When questioned, one of the writers gave the following answer: |
| 87 | |
| 88 | -->Writer: A tail? You people wanted a tail!?! You sick, sick people! Go get help! Who knows what [[{{AllMenArePerverts}} warped, male fantasies]] you had involving a tail. You think just because [[{{MostWritersAreMale}} the show is made by a bunch of guys]], it would have girls with tails? Wasn't the SpyCatsuit enough for you? Be satisfied, or else we'll [[{{RocksFallEveryoneDies}} kill off all the characters]] just to put an end to this #&^@ ... ''The remainder of the quote is composed of several lines of cursing on the part of the writer, and has been censored by [[{{MoralGuardians}} concerned individuals]].'' |
| 89 | |
| 90 | Act normally or you will have your eyes removed. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | Hints of a possible romantic relationship between Avatar and Krystal were dropped in the Season 3 episode ''[[AATAFOVS/NoisyValley Noisy Valley]]''. Some also believe that a hint was dropped in ''{{AATAFOVS/Revelations}}'', but when confronted with the three conflicting viewpoints about the supposed evidence, the writers [[RedHerring simply offered]] [[TakeAThirdOption a fourth option]]. For the most part, though, [[SugarAndIcePersonality she keeps her cool around him fairly well]], except when [[TheRival Persona]] is around. |
| 93 | [[/folder]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | * [[{{AATAFOVS/EvilDramatisPersonae}} Evil Dramatis Personae]] |
| 96 | * Miss X: An anonymous figure who made her (the writers confirmed she was female) first appearance by message. From what little we know of Broken Time, rather than the usual cryptic message from Udite, Miss X sends the Benders her own cryptic message that's so confusing, not even Nerdly can decipher it. Her true identity remains unknown, though fan theories abound (especially ever since the reveal of her sihouette). |
