Fun Facts
Here's some additional interesting information that I've skowered from all corners of the Internet. They were not mentioned in the show, but were given by the creators during interviews.- Aang was the youngest Airbender to ever master Airbending so he received his tattoos at a very early age.
- All three sub-styles of Waterbending were developed by a different tribe. Healing by the Northern Tribe, Plantbending by the Swamp Tribe, and Bloodbending by a waterbender from the Southern Tribe.
- In the Avatar Series pilot, Katara is named Kya. The name Kya was later given to her unnamed mother.
- Zuko was originally intended to be Katara's love interest.
- Toph was meant to be a boy.
- Zuko has above average abilities that help him to survive certain situations. For example, he has above average hearing abilities that allows him to hear people sneaking up on him. He can also hold his breath for an unusually long amount of time.
- Due to his scar, Zuko is permanently unable to open his left eye all the way, and always squinting in that eye. Even when the other is wide open.
- Sokka's name is derived from the Japanese phrase (here presented in Romaji) Sou ka, meaning "I Understand", which is a reference to his abilities as technologist and scientist.
- In the Pilot episode, it's shown that Zuko was originally supposed to have a pet Hawk but it didn't make it into the show. Instead, Sokka bought a Messenger Hawk in "The Runaway".
