About This Quiz

"Avatar: The Last Airbender" and "The Legend of Korra" are filled with interesting people (and animals), from the serious to the downright zany. Are you fan enough to know these characters by name?
Katara's brother also journeys with Aang. What is his name?
Sokka
Jack
Ikki
Suyin
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

Sokka is the life of the party, always entertaining Aang with his antics. His jokes aren't always intentional, though - as a non-bender, he must earn respect in battle the hard way.

Munchies
Monkey
Momo
Flip

Toph is one of the best human earthbenders the world has ever seen, despite what?
not training
being prissy about touching dirt
being blind
not wanting to bend
Correct Answer
Wrong Answer

You might say that Toph's insane power stems from what should be a weakness: her blindness. She learned many of her tricks from badgermoles, the world's original earthbenders, and "sees" by using her bending.

Azula
Din
Lu Ten

Princess Azula is very much a daddy's girl, always trying to please Fire Lord Ozai and constantly seeking to destroy the Avatar. She's pathologically obsessed with fighting and displaying her power.

Ty Lee
Hama

Ty Lee has mastered the use of pressure points to disable her opponents in battle. She's one of Azula's childhood friends, but clearly joins the group because she fears Azula, not because she wants to join.

Korra has a loyal polar bear dog named what?
Momo II

Prince Zuko is heir to which throne?
Earth Kingdom
Fire Nation
Water Tribe

air buffalo
badermole
fire ferret
dog
