Aang

Aang is a fictional character and the protagonist of Avatar: The Last Airbender, an American animated series created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. He is the Avatar—the current incarnation of a spiritual role that reconciles and balances the world's four bending arts: air, water, earth, and fire. Voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen, Aang belongs to the Air Nomads and is the last surviving airbender following the Fire Nation's genocide in the series' backstory. The Avatar cycle alternates among the four nations, so Aang's reincarnation is part of a long lineage.

At the start of the series, Aang is discovered thawed from an iceberg by siblings Katara and Sokka of the Southern Water Tribe after a century of Fire Nation aggression. He embraces his duty to end the war and restore balance, while learning to master the four elements with the help of friends and mentors. He learns waterbending from Master Pakku, earthbending from Toph Beifong, and firebending from Fire Nation prince Zuko (initially his opponent). Airbending remains his native style, connected to his past life and culture. He also learns to access the Avatar State and, later, energy bending with Lion Turtle aid to heal and to remove Ozai's bending.

In the climactic confrontation with Fire Lord Ozai, Aang defeats him without killing, using energy bending to strip Ozai of his firebending and ending the Hundred Year War. His legacy continues in The Legend of Korra, where Korra is his reincarnation; Aang appears as a spirit and influence in Korra's journey.
