Having run away at the start of the war, Aang comes to accept his role as the Avatar and learns to adapt to the world he had left behind. Later joined by other friends and fighting new enemies, Aang and his companions must bring peace and unity to the world by ending the Fire Lord's war with the rest of the world.

'''Avatar Aang''' '''(voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen):''' Aang is the main protagonist of the story as well as the current Avatar. He is the only human survivor of the Air Nomad massacre, waking up from spending a century in an iceberg that he had created. Aang is shown to have a lively and fun-loving spirit, taking time to have fun alongside taking up his Avatar duties. He's also a vegetarian, as Air Nomads are taught to respect all animals. In spite of his free-spirited personality, he does have self-doubt on being the Avatar, feeling great guilt for leaving his people behind.

'''Katara''' '''(voiced by Mae Whitman)''' = Katara is the deuteragonist of the story and Aang's eventual girlfriend. She aspires to become a powerful waterbender, tagging along with Aang on his quest to the Northern Water Tribe along with her brother.

She aspires to become a powerful waterbender, tagging along with Aang on his quest to the Northern Water Tribe along with her brother. Early in the series, Katara has shown to have an altruistic attitude, wanting to help people out (like saving her friend Haru when he gets arrested for earthbending or healing a fishing village in the Fire Nation by pretending to be a spirit), and she becomes a caretaker of sorts for the gang. While kind-hearted, she does have a fierce temper, being not quite forgiving if she or her friends are crossed.

'''Sokka''' '''(voiced by Jack DeSena)''' = Sokka is Katara's older brother and the only non-bending member of the group (until his girlfriend Suki joins them in the third season). He is a jack-of-all-trades character, having interests ranging from weapons to technology.

'''Toph Beifong''' '''(voiced by Jessie Flower)''' = Toph is a young blind earthebender and eventual creator of metalbending. Due to having been born blind, she ends up being sheltered by her overprotective parents, who don't know about their daughter's power.
