9
10	[[folder:The Enemy]]
11	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterenemy.png]]
12	* AllYourPowersCombined: Steals away the bending of others in order to further empower itself and create a new Dark (or more accurately, Anti) Avatar. Also present in Korra's Nightmare, whereupon the enemy is the merged form of all of Korra's old foes.
13	* BigBad: Of Book Five. Later revealed to be a [[spoiler:BigBadDuumvirate]].
14	* BlackCloak: Goes with the CoolMask, and helps to hide their form and figure, making them harder to identify.
15	* CoolMask: The look of a PlagueDoctor, which inspires terror and helps mask their true identity.
16	* TheDreaded: Once they see what the enemy can do, Team Avatar quickly become very afraid of the idea of them and what they're attempting to do.
17	* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Appears seemingly out of nowhere in the midst of a graveyard, terrifying its already frightened keeper, and then proceeds to ''raise the dead'' as if it was as easy as casting stones.
18	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Some of its more impressive feats occur off-screen, and are only described by Temuji and Fumiko. This sets up TheReveal that [[spoiler:Temuji and Fumiko are the ones behind the mask, at different times]].
19	* HeroKiller: While not exactly killing those whose bending it steals, it brings them close to death by sucking out their life force as well, leaving [[spoiler:Wing, Tahno, and Daw]] incapacitated until the enemy is defeated.
20	* OurZombiesAreDifferent: Raises dead men to fight on its behalf, though they are more typically ghouls given the nature of their animation, which is rooted in actual bending techniques (albeit powerful ones). They have no free will but they continue to fight even in pieces until reduced to dust.
21	* PlagueDoctor: The look of the beaked mask, purposefully chosen for the terror the [[InvokedTrope trope invokes]].
22	* RuleOfSymbolism: Someone makes a remark on how the enemy is stealing benders abilities in the ''reverse'' order of the Avatar Cycle.
23	* TheReveal: It wasn't just ''one'' person behind the mask, see below.
24	[[/folder]]
25
26	[[folder:Temuji]]
27	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterpictemuji.png]]
28	* {{Angrish}}: [[spoiler:After his ''epic'' breakdown, he spits fire both figuratively and literally]].
29	* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Was shunned by all but his mother because of his appearance and mannerisms. At least, that’s how he sees it, the truth of the matter is a little more vague.
30	* BreathWeapon: [[spoiler:Whenever his control slips away, Temuji has a nasty habit of doing this. Fitting since his original element was fire]].
31	* {{Determinator}}: Does not know when to stop, consequences be damned. It ultimately leads to [[spoiler:his own defeat]].
32	* ElementalEyeColors: As a red-eyed albino, plays this straighter than any firebender before in either setting of the franchise.
33	* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: [[spoiler:Getting her back is the source of his turmoil]].
34	* {{Expy}}: Of Kaworu Nagisa ([[spoiler:aka Tabris]]) from [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Neon Genesis Evangelion]].
35	* {{Foil}}: To Korra, Mako, and Asami. Korra in that they are both greatly powerful and have a desire to change the world for the better. Mako for being the elder sibling of a fire-earth duo. And Asami for having lost a parent they were very close to.
36	* HealItWithFire: Temuji introduces a new, advanced technique that ‘burns out infection’ and cauterizes wounds.
37	* HealingMagicIsTheHardest: Hinting at his status as a firebending prodigy, Temuji remarks firebending healing is not easy to master, though that is also partially because no one has an interest in learning it. It is also subtly implied that using it can be dangerous, as a slip in concentration or a misstep can do more harm than good.
38	* IncorruptiblePurePureness: Seems to be this at first, but it’s later revealed [[spoiler:to be an act. Though Temuji still seems to hold some semblance of this, viewing his actions as NecessarilyEvil and being genuinely shocked when he actually kills someone]].
39	* LightIsGood: [[spoiler:Seemingly at first. Later LightIsNotGood. Not good at all]].
40	* MysticalWhiteHair: Temuji is white-haired albino, and has great powers both naturally and as a result of his actions.
41	* MeaningfulName: As in Temuji''n'', the birth name of ''[[UsefulNotes/GenghisKhan Genghis Kahn]]''. [[spoiler:Also, [[NumberOfTheBeast six]] letters, just like all previous BigBad villains of [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendofKorra the Legend of Korra]]]].
42	* PlayingWithFire: At first, then [[spoiler:upgrades to all four later on]].
43	* RedEyesTakeWarning: As an albino, his eyes are naturally red, and seem to avert this as first because he’s a gentle soul. [[spoiler:When he becomes an Anti-Avatar, they glow briefly like hot coals in a vein similar to the Unavaatu]].
44	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy to Fumiko’s Energetic Girl.
45	%%* SixthRangerTraitor
46	* SmartPeoplePlayChess: She plays Pai Sho with Korra from time to time before TheReveal.
47	* UnskilledButStrong: Possesses phenomenal power [[spoiler:as the Anti-Avatar, but lacks restraint to use it properly]], furthering the parallels between him and Korra.
48	* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:Slowly slips into a rage over the course of the final battle as all his efforts to save his mother seem futile]].
49	* WalkingSpoiler: There’s a reason most of his entries are blanked out.
50	* WrongGenreSavvy: [[spoiler:Thinks he can resurrect the dead like he’s in a Mary Shelley novel]].
51	[[/folder]]
52
53	[[folder:Fumiko]]
54	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterpicfumiko23.png]]
55	%%* ActionGirl
56	* AffectionateNickname: Miko, to her friends.
57	* BadassNormal: A modest chi-blocker and acrobat in the same vein as Ty Lee. [[spoiler:Later revealed to be untrue]].
58	%%* BewareTheSillyOnes
59	* BigEater: Threatened to eat an [[MixAndMatchCritters Elephant-Koi]] whole, and seems to frequently be raiding the pantry or asking for some fire flakes. Mostly takes place off-screen though.
60	* CuteBruiser: 14 years old, precocious, and can still take on anything you throw at her with a smile on her face.
61	* CloudCuckoolander: Is a bit odd, to say the least. Slightly less so after [[spoiler:TheReveal, though WordOfGod it was at least fifty percent accurate, and she plays it up to throw her enemies off]].
62	* DishingOutDirt: [[spoiler:After TheReveal. Sandbending, specifically, though she has no skill with metal (or glass) because it's too pure]].
63	* ElementalEyeColors: Seemingly subverted at first, [[spoiler:then played straight after TheReveal]].
64	%%* EvilAllAlong
65	* {{Expy}}: Of Miko from [[WesternAnimation/TransformersPrime Transformers Prime]].
66	* {{Foil}}: To Bolin primarily, as the younger sibling of a fire-earth duo.
67	* GenkiGirl.
68	* GirlishPigtails: With pink highlights, no less.
69	* PerkyFemaleMinion: [[spoiler:To Temuji after his FaceheelTurn]].
70	* PinkMeansFeminine: Can be rather girly and attention is often drawn to the highlights in her hair.
71	* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl to Temuji’s Savvy Guy.
72	* UndyingLoyalty: To Temuji.
73	* WaifFu: Routinely adds flips and the like to her fighting. And her daily walking, for that matter.
74	* WrestlerInAllOfUs: Displays some moves, notably an elbow drop she uses on [[spoiler:Bolin]] at one point.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Jasmine]]
78	* ActionGirl: Wields fans with deadly skill, as befitting an old school Kyoshi Warrior.
79	* AmazonBrigade: Her and the other Kyoshi Warriors, as they still keep the old traditions.
80	* BadassNormal: Has no bending ability. Doesn’t let it stop her.
81	* CombatHandFan: Standard Kyoshi Weaponry.
82	* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: Technically it’s face-paint, and she’s more domineering than eerie, but she otherwise gives off this vibe.
83	%%* GoodIsOldFashioned
84	* HeroOfAnotherStory: It’s said even [[TyrantTakesTheHelm Kuvira’s]] Earth Empire was never able to fully subjugate Kyoshi Island, and Jasmine ''was'' head of the Kyoshi Warriors at the time...
85	%%* LadyOfWar
86	* SpikyHair: Compared to a [[MixAndMatchCritters borcupine]].
87	* TheStoic: Seems to have zero sense of humor. Especially in regards to her name and how it sounds similar to the tea brand.
88	* ThisMeansWarpaint: Standard cosmetics for Kyoshi Warriors.
89	[[/folder]]
90
91	[[folder:Princess Koko]]
92	* BadassBookworm: [[spoiler:PlayedForLaughs]]. During the Republic Rim battle she’s seen fighting off the dead... [[spoiler:by ''throwing'' her precious books at them]].
93	* TheCaligula: Could be seen as a benevolent version of this. Her subjects treat her CloudCuckoolander tendancies with some disgust and regret, but she is honestly trying to help them out.
94	* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Very... odd, to say the least. Must be hereditary, as she's implied to be a descendant of the original King Bumi, who practically defined the trope.
95	* {{Expy}}: Of Twilight Sparkle from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.
96	* HiddenDepths: Her reforms do actually help the overall education level of Omashu, and when danger threatens she’s quick to rally the guards and take command of the situation.
97	* HimeCut: She has this hair style for emphasizing her regal nature.
98	* InsistentTerminology: Almost always refers to Korra as ''Princess'', and uses the same title. Technically, she’s not wrong in the case of Korra. Her own case is... odd.
99	[[/folder]]
100
101	[[folder:Bao]]
102	* BadassPacifist: Maybe, per ShrugOfGod. He’s only ever seen fighting dead men, and then only non-lethally ties them up in vines and promises to have them properly buried when the fighting is over.
103	* ColorCodedEyes: His gray eyes emphasize the wisdom and knowledge of an OldMaster.
104	* CoolOldGuy: White Lotus Grand Master, described as in his later years, and a plantbender on par with Hu from the old series, he’s definitely got all three qualifications down.
105	%%%* DreadlockRasta: Difficult to say if it qualifies as DreadlockWarrior as well.
106	%%%* MysticalWhiteHair:
107	* OldMaster: Not quite geriatric, but definitely past his prime, and as a Grand Master of the White Lotus, this is practically a requirement.
108	[[/folder]]
109
110	[[folder:Tso Lan]]
111	%%* CrustyCaretaker
112	* PunnyName: Seems somewhat skittish, and his name sounds like ‘so long’ to make it extra funny.
113	[[/folder]]
114
115	[[folder:Aki]]
116	* CharacterDevelopment: Seems to accept Tenzin's offer to join the Air Nation and make something of himself following his brief appearance.
117	* {{Foil}}: To Tenzin, a young upstart against an old master. Double bonus points for being voiced by the same actor who voiced Aang from the original series, which means Tenzin is essentially schooling a darker version of his own father.
118	* GravityIsAHarshMistress: How he is defeated, failing to realize his perch on a weak tree branch until Tenzin showed him.
119	%%* UnskilledButStrong
120	[[/folder]]
121
122	[[folder:Spoiler Character]]
123	!!Azula
124	%%* AscendedMeme: She drinks coffee.
125	* CharacterDevelopment: Seems to have undergone quite a lot off-screen, showing a markedly different persona then she had during the era of Aang.
126	* DysfunctionalFamily: She aintains communications with her older brother, Zuko, but rarely interacts with the rest of her family, and does not seem to care for them. Also, being the great-aunt of the story's villain doesn't exactly do wonders for her record either.
127	* HiddenDepths: She seems to have gained some in the ensuing years, teaching students in secret how to firebend, as well as somewhat raising Temuji after his mother passed away.
128	* LoveMakesYouEvil: Inverted; she took in Temuji as family and seems to have mellowed as a result of it.
129	* MoralityChain: Zuko has intended to be this for her, which is why they still correspond in secret. It's unknown how well it's working for his sister though, but the fact that she still answers his letters speaks volumes.
130	* MustHaveCaffeine: Drinks coffee in flashbacks.
131	%%* NotAMorningPerson
132	* OlderThanSheLooks: In an inverse of her portrayal during Aang’s day, Azula still has quite a few black hairs left and overall less wrinkles than her brother, despite only a two year age gap. It’s implied the less stressful life of an [[StrawNihilist nihilistic]] exile as opposed to a Fire Lord and ambassador allowed her to maintain more of her looks.
133	* PersonaNonGrata: In the Fire Nation. Justified, in that she’s an criminally insane lunatic and easily one of the most dangerous firebenders still alive.
134	* ReformedButNotTamed: And the reformed part is more neutral than good.
135	* {{Sociopath}}: Azula remains in fine form, not having mellowed too much in the past decades.
136	[[/folder]]
137
138	!Legend of Ban Characters
139	[[folder:Team Avatar]]
140	[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nta_4.png]]
141	* {{Foil}}: The core four bear some strong differences to their predecessors.
142	** Ban, unlike Aang or Korra, starts the series much older, at age sixteen, with almost ''no'' bending ability, unaware he was even an Earthbender, let alone the Avatar. Thus far he's also proven calm and collected during most crisis, unlike hyperactive Aang and hotheaded Korra during their early years.
143	** Unlike Zuko or Mako, both very serious, Meiling is chatty, active, and bubbly. She names her attacks when she makes them and likes to pick fights. Also, obviously, she's a girl and rather on the short side, as opposed to the two taller men they were.
144	** Most waterbenders associated with Team Avatar tend to be women (Katara, Korra, Kya), and mothering and nurturing, who often pick up the healing subset of the skill to aid their teammates and can be very creative in the versatility of their element. In contrast, Ryuku is a close-quarters brawler who hits hard and fast and is deeply jaded about the world, lets his fists and waterskins do the talking whenever possible and thus far has displayed no healing talent of any kind.
145	** Whereas Aang was the ''only'' airbender of his era, and the subsequent generation saw either a matured adult (Tenzin) or children (the kids) working alongside them infrequently, Willow is a full-time member of Team Avatar, and unlike the majority of previous airbenders tends to be remarkably relaxed, even a bit spacey, like a NewAgeRetroHippy.
146	* FourTemperamentEnsemble:
147	** Ban is Melancholic. Introverted, task-oriented, analytical, organized, and tends to be polite whenever possible. Can get in a few good snarks, however.
148	** Meiling is Sanguine. Talks a lot, cheerful, energetic, and very passionate about what she feels is right and good. Can be a bit wild and unpredictable.
149	** Willow is Phlegmatic. Sweet, quiet, kind, sensitive, and empathic. Easily the groups heart and soul.
150	** Ryuku is Chloeric. Rude, short-tempered, but is a hard worker, stronger willed, and very practical when it comes to solutions. Zero qualms about solving a problem with his fists or his water.
151	* HeroicLineage: Ban is from the line of Opal and Bolin Beifong, which also makes him a descendent of Toph. Willow comes from from Avatar Aang's line.
152	* InSeriesNickname: More like review nickname, but some reviewers of the story have taken to calling them The ''Ban''d, after Aang's G''aang'' and Korra's ''Kr''ew. Thus far, it hasn't been used in-story, but then again neither has Team Avatar, officially.
153	[[/folder]]
154
155	[[folder:Ban Beifong]]
156	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterban.png]]
157	* TheAce: Inverted. Unlike the previous Avatars, Ban has almost zero talent at earthbending (that he knows of) and mediocre ability in almost anything else he tries, making him more of TheEveryman.
158	* AllLovingHero: Implied. He brought home an eel-hound pup for no other reason than he wanted to help it.
159	* AllYourPowersCombined: Implied, by virtue of being the Avatar, but never seen on-screen. Then again, he only ''just'' realized he can earthbend.
160	* BadassBookworm: Is said to read frequently, and he's the Avatar (though he isn't aware of that fact at first).
161	* BlueBlood: Part of the prestigious Beifong family, though he's considered a black sheep due to his lack of bending ability (at first).
162	* ABoyAndHisX: Implied to have been drawn to his Eel-Hound Pup in the same vein of Naga, Appa, Fang, and other Avatar companions. He’s not quite big enough to ride yet, but he’ll grow.
163	* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Whereas Korra was brash, somewhat arrogant, and learned three of the four elements when she was four (in addition to learning she was the Avatar) Ban is laid-back, relaxed, calm and composed. He takes no offense to being bullied, and doesn't even realize he's an earthbender until his Avatar State awakens at age sixteen. Invoked by WordOfGod as a deliberate means to make a very Anti-Korra ''AND'' Anti-Aang sort of Avatar.
164	* DieOrFly: Awakens his Avatar spirit and natural earthbending seconds before being crushed.
165	* DishingOutDirt: A native earthbender, though it takes him a while to realize his potential.
166	* GlowingEyesOfDoom: Once the Avatar awakens, casting aside any possible doubt.
167	* TheLeader: Apart from being the Avatar, is a natural mediator and peacekeeper, and thus can keep Meiling and Ryuku from being at each other’s throats, and keep Willow on task when her mind wanders.
168	* LegacyCharacter: He is the latest person to become the Avatar. Korra and Aang are just a few of his named predecessors.
169	* MeaningfulName: To Ban is to prohibit, forbid, or stop certain activities. Suitable for one who stands up against immoral acts that threaten the balance and harmony of the world, if not necessarily illegal activities as a whole. It can also mean a curse, which fits with how Ban initially views being born the Avatar, as a burden rather than a blessing.
170	* PersonalityPowers: Ban was envisioned as the embodiment of the spiritual side of earthbending, that being neutral Jing. Subverted at first when he displays zero earthbending talent, but later played straight.
171	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Sensitive Guy to Ryuku’s Manly Man.
172	* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Made to help him stand out, since his other features are relatively plain and unremarkable.
173	* TheSmartGuy: Well-read and learned, at least. He tends to rely more on Ryuku for street smarts, however.
174	* TranquilFury: Once the Avatar State activates, he shatters stone walls like they're nothing and terrifies both the thieves and Meiling, but is utterly silent the entire time.
175	* {{Reincarnation}}: Of Korra. And Aang, and Roku, and Kyoshi, and all the others going back as far as Wan and perhaps further still.
176	[[/folder]]
177
178	[[folder:Meiling Zheng]]
179	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/charactermeiling.png]]
180	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Not by blood, but Ban considers her like the little sister he never had, or wanted, frequently.
181	* BlessedWithSuck: She was Ban's best friend, and a self taught fire bender, but that came with its own inherent issues. And then, her body develops to then do [[spoiler: combustion bending]], which really stresses her out and forces her to act in ways contrary to her nature.
182	* BreakTheCutie: Starting from a bright place, the story isn't kind to Meiling. She sees death up close for the first time, has the hardest time adjusting to being a nomad and cooped up. And then she finds out she's [[spoiler:a combustion bender]], which really messes her up.
183	* CallingYourAttacks: Meiling does this with her firebending, in order to give it more "oomph". It helps emphasize how very new at it she is.
184	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Sanguine.
185	* GenkiGirl: Is said to talk fast and often about a variety of topics.
186	* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: Appears that way, but its dyed. Either way, her kind heart is evident from the get-go.
187	* TheLancer: Ban’s number two, his voice of reason, conscience, and general sounding board.
188	* LikeBrotherAndSister: With Ban, though it's implied it could grow into more.
189	* MeaningfulName: A perfect fit for someone frequently described as very pretty. And useful when its shortened to Mei by Ban, since they often act LikeBrotherAndSister. Mei-Mei is sister in Mandarin Chinese.
190	%%* PlayingWithFire
191	* PopCultureOsmosisFailure: Appears to be a victim of this, as the Avatars exact origins and history have become more obscure in recent years, though she comes close to the general idea. Ban usually corrects her misconceptions.
192	* PowerTattoo: Acquires one of these when she's spent some time with the Sun Warriors, [[spoiler: the familiar "third eye" that all Combustion Benders have to focus their powers.]]
193	* VillainousLineage: Admiral Zhao actually was family member back during the Hundred Years War. And that's not even mentioning her [[spoiler: Uncle Drago]].
194	[[/folder]]
195
196	[[folder:Willow]]
197	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterwilllow_2.png]]
198	* AuraVision: Something unique she's developed over the years, Willow can see people's auras and read their moods and personalities. It's hinted to be one of the new quirks she has as an airbending descendent of an Avatar.
199	%%* BlowYouAway
200	* CuddleBug: Coupled with her NoSenseOfPersonalSpace and general love of almost everyone she meets, love to give out hugs like they’re going out of style.
201	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic.
202	* InnocentGrayEyes: Like her great-great grandfather, Willow has these. Fitting for someone equally innocent and kind-hearted, to say nothing of an Air Nomad by birth.
203	* MeaningfulName: Slender and graceful fits Willow to a T.
204	* NewAgeRetroHippie: Acts a little loopy and speaks of auras and past lives with a casual, indifferent air about her.
205	* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: One of her mom's rules, which Willow tends to think of most as suggestions. She just can’t grasp why people wouldn't want to be up close to one another.
206	* WalkingTheEarth: Something of an Air Nomad tradition, and Willow follows it in fine example. She’s in the midst of her wanderings when she meets up with her grandfather and the plot is kicked off, and continues following Ban and Meiling in much the same way throughout the story.
207	[[/folder]]
208
209	[[folder:Ryuku Kuruk]]
210	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/characterryuku_5.png]]
211	* TheBigGuy: The muscle of the New Team Avatar, first to fight, toughest to knock down. He's also the biggest -- he's a head taller than Ban and Willow, and positively towers over Meiling.
212	* CombatPragmatist: Doesn’t hesitate to mix it up physically whenever water isn’t enough, or take a cheap shot to end a fight quickly.
213	* DarkAndTroubledPast: Alluded to, his parents were fishermen apparently, who died when he was young. WordOfGod is that the section of Book Two devoted to "Water" will further highlight and shed some light on his past, and dark indeed it shall be.
214	%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Melancholic.
215	%%* LightningBruiser
216	%%* MakingASplash: He is a waterbender.
217	* SatisfiedStreetRat: Seems almost proud of his rough and tumble childhood and current lifestyle.
218	* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The Manly Man to Ban's Sensitive Guy.
219	* SociallyAwkwardHero: He's a member of Team Avatar who doesn't really know how to make small talk.
220	* TallDarkAndHandsome: Very tall, very dark, and while a bit rough around the edges and not the fanciest dresser, definitely easy on the eyes.
221	[[/folder]]
222
223	[[folder:Jiao]]
224	* ABoyAndHisX: Ban's pet Eel-Hound pup. In the same vein of Naga, Appa, Fang, and other Avatar companions. He’s not quite big enough to ride yet, but he’s still growing.
225	* MeaningfulName: Jiao is a Chinese currency, but it also means Dragon, which Jiao resembles to a small degree.
226	* MixAndMatchCritters: Part eel, part greyhound. And it’s only a puppy, meaning its eventually going to get much bigger.
227	* NonHumanSidekick: To Ban, in the same vein as Naga to Korra and Appa to Aang.
228	* TheNoseKnows: An expert tracker, though it doesn’t come up much.
229	* UndyingLoyalty: To Ban, as his spiritual animal. Doubly so since he’s part hound.
230	[[/folder]]
231
232	[[folder:Rohan]]
233	* ColorCodedEyes: His gray eyes emphasize the wisdom and knowledge of an OldMaster.
234	* CoolOldGuy: Member of the White Lotus, and an Airbender Master, as evidenced by his tattoos.
235	* OldMaster: Not quite geriatric, but definitely past his prime. Considering he was only an infant when we last saw him in [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra]]'s age, it really spells out how much things have changed.
236	[[/folder]]
237
238	[[folder:"The Third"]]
239	Surprise, it's another Baatar Beifong, the son of Baatar Jr, making him Baatar III.
240	* BrokenPedestal: Averted. Even when Ban and the others find out about his criminal past, they listen to his side of the argument, and largely seem to forgive him.
241	* ChekhovsGunman: Rohan reveals "The Third" as a potential safe haven to Ban and Co. when they have to go on the run. Several chapters later, Baatar saves them and takes them in, even becoming Ban's earthbending teacher.
242	* DishingOutDirt: A native earthbender.
243	* FreudianExcuse: Has some mommy issues, and later on has a criminal past, which explains some of his bluntness when dealing with others. He doesn't trust easily.
244	* StrongFamilyResemblance: He greatly resembles his father and grandfather, though unlike either of them, avoids having to wear [[NerdGlasses glasses]].
245	* TattooedCrook: Has a green dragon tattooed on the back of his neck (presumably extending down between his shoulder blades). However, he's a former Triad member, and a peripheral one at that, so the trope Zig-zags a bit.
246	[[/folder]]
247
248	[[folder:Jade Li Xa]]
249	[[quoteright:282:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jadelixa.png]]
250	* DishingOutDirt: Specializes in "Praying Mantis" earthbending style, the same as Toph used in the original series.
251	* {{Expy}}: Hypothetically voiced by Grey Griffin, usually calm and collected, but flies off the handle when things don't go her way? Sounds like an [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]] or a [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Ming-Hua]] who was a Triad Boss instead of a Princess or a Terrorist.
252	* {{Foil}}: To Ban, obviously. She's an older, more experienced earthbender, and a woman with very dubious morality, as opposed to the very noble, humble Ban.
253	* {{Greed}}: Cares only for money. Not people, not ideals, not your goddamned revolution, just cold hard cash.
254	* MeaningfulName: Beautiful like the stone, but also hard and cold like it. The value of Jade also means she, as a Triad leader, is primarily concerned with material wealth. Suitable for a criminal earthbender.
255	* TheSociopath: Has zero concerns for anyone who isn't her.
256	* TattooedCrook: Has a number of Celtic designs on her arms and the back of her neck, and she’s as crooked as they come.
257	* VillainousBreakdown: Has one the longer she fights with Ban, since he's ruining her warehouses during their fights (although most of the damage is done by her or her underlings). It reaches a climax when she's just screaming and throwing things, wanting to kill him despite implicit orders ''not to''. Granted, she wasn't too stable to begin with.

271	[[folder:Songtan]]
272	* CharacterTic: Whistles little song snippets at random times.
273	* LightIsNotGood: Dresses in white and is rather pale, to say nothing of white haired, but he is definitely not one of the good guys.
274	* MusicalAssassin: Likes to whistle as he attacks, and definitely a hardened killer.
275	* PsychoForHire: Drago hires him to take out the Avatar, and Ryuku as a bonus. He stipulates, however, he wants Meiling entirely unharmed. Songtan is just relieved he doesn't have to bring in anyone alive, though he implies he's done so in the past.
276	* TheSociopath: Has no real value on human life.
