==Biography==
===Early Life===
Aang was born as the reincarnation of the Avatar Roku and he was presumably taken from his parents since birth. The other kids used to say he was lucky because he didn't really have to train, but Aang really did. When he was young, he used his airbending to impress his teacher, but only for him to accidentally pushed two of the Air Nomads. Because of the incident, Aang began to show his fear of lacking control of powers or hurting people.
Aang also had two childhood best friends from the different Nations. One was from the Earth Kingdom of Omashu, Bumi who asked for his help to shape the rock into a badgermole-like one. His other close childhood friend, Kuzon, was from the Fire Nation.
===Season 1===
====Aang====
When Aang was twelve years old, he was informed by his father figure and mentor, Gyatso that he was the Next Avatar. Feeling pressured by this, Aang quickly left the temple to clear his head on App. Unfortunately, when Aang was away, Fire Lord Sozin launched a full-scale attack on the air temples, killing every last man, woman and child in fear that one of them will be the Avatar who would prevent the Fire Nation's world domination. 
Aang and Appa were suddenly caught up in a terrible storm and thrown into a deep underwater with his bison. Unconsciously entering the Avatar state, Aang froze himself and Appa with his waterbending, where they remained trapped in the ice berg for one hundred years.
A hundred years later, Aang was awakened from an iceberg after a long slumber where Katara and Sokka found him and take him to the Southern Water Tribe. The next morning, he discovered where he is and called out Appa over here. After Gran-Gran realized about what happened a hundred years ago and he's been trapped in an iceberg for a long time, it hits Aang emotionally until Katara comforted him over what happens. When he helps Katara waterbending, they discover that the Fire Nation are on their way to the Southern Water Tribe and Katara has to escort him to safety. During the fight between Sokka and Zuko, Aang steps in to save Sokka from being burned alive and fought against the Fire Nation prince. When Zuko attacks the village in anger, Aang surrender himself to protect them. After he escape from his cell, Aang snuck into Zuko's room to take his notebook and get his staff glider back. Later, Aang managed to escape with the help of Katara and Sokka. Since now, the Team Avatar is now formed.
When the Team Avatar arrived at the Southern Air Temple, they were horrified about what happened a hundred years ago, especially seeing Gyatso's skeleton corpse which Aang has emotional breakdown so much that he triggers the Avatar State until he calms down before Katara hugs him in comfort. Inspired by his people's ultimate sacrifice for him, Aang decide to embrace his role as the Avatar to make sure their deaths weren't in vain and master all of the four elements to bring balance to the world.
====Warriors====
Aang suggests they should go to Kyoshi Island to learn about the Avatar State. The Team Avatar also met a winged lemur who snuck inside Katara's bag to look for a food. Before they leave, Aang buried Gyatso's skeleton corpse under the rocks and puts his necklace on there before praying for him. While they're setting off for the Kyoshi Island, Aang allows a winged lemur to accompanying them in their journey and named him Momo.
When the Team Avatar first arrived at the Kyoshi Island, they were captured by the Kyoshi Warriors until it was stopped when the statue of Kyoshi flashing lights under Aang from its eyes. When they were brought to Mayor Yukari, she allowed them to stay at the village for 48 hours. The next morning, Aang is watching Katara practicing her waterbending and refused her offer to be taught. They later having fun splashing water at each other. While searching for the information about Kyoshi, Katara advised Aang to talk to her because all of the Avatar's past lives are inside of him. Aang meditates where he was at the Spirit World and met Kyoshi, who tells him about how dangerous the Avatar State is and encouraged him to become a strong and disciplined warrior before showing him a vision of the Fire Nation attacks the Northern Water Tribe. Kyoshi then takes over Aang's body and defeat Zuko, Zhao and the rest of the Fire Nation. Before the Team Avatar leaves, Suki, Yukari and the villagers are bowing at Aang in gratitude for bring them a reason to believe again.
====Omashu====
When Katara is struggling to waterbend, Aang advised her to tap into her feelings to be able to control her waterbending properly, but to no avail. While flying on Appa, the Team Avatar saw a young boy flying with his glider landing to Omashu, which is where they would go. When they got to the Omashu, they managed to get pass through the gate with the help of a turnip farmer. When they got up to the young boy, Aang realized he's not an airbender and the boy introduced himself as Teo. They also met Teo's father, a mechanist named Sai. Seeing many people are getting hurt by the bombings of the supposed firebenders, Aang decide to stay in Omashu to help people as the Avatar.
While Katara meets Jet and the Freedom Fighters and Sokka stays behind to help Sai, Aang and Teo flied up to the mountain where they find a blasting jelly and robes from the turnip cart. He then returns to Sai's house to presents Sokka with evidence that reveals Jet to be a bombing incident. After Katara discovers Jet's true nature and intentions, the Team Avatar went to stop the explosion, but they were stopped by Zuko. While Katara and Sokka went to stop the delivery, Aang went to fought Zuko off by himself. When he let himself slip up that Zuko's been chasing him for three years, he inadvertently causing the Fire Nation prince to firebend at him in rage and puts out the fire damages he has caused. However, he was later by the Earth Kingdom soldiers.
====Into the Dark====
While he was imprisoned, Aang meets Iroh again who is also captured as well. He also commented how Omashu wasn't always like this before the Hundred Year War and discovered there's more about Zuko than his motive. While Iroh is taken to "the Pit", Aang is taken to see the King of Omashu. After the King reveals to his people that he's the Avatar, Aang recognized his old friend Bumi and the King later threw him a feast.
During a feast, Bumi voiced out his resentment towards him for disappearing during the Hundred Year War. Instead of giving up and losing hope just like him, Aang accepts the King's challenge to take his tests. During the tests, Aang avoids several traps that Bumi has set up with his airbending to make him remember their childhood memories. When the final test has came, Aang was forced to fight with Bumi to death. During the fight, he tries to hold off the two of falling debris, but he couldn't bring himself to choose to save himself or his own childhood friend until Katara and Sokka arrives to help him end this. Finally, Bumi has a change of heart after Aang showed him a badgermole-shaped rock. Before the Team Avatar could leave Omashu, he and Bumi relieved their childhood memories by riding on the delivery system cart, where they unintentionally destroying the cabbage merchant's cart.
====Spirited Away====
After they escaped from the Fire Nation soldiers while on the run, the Team Avatar has spotted a burned down forest that was already destroyed by the Fire Nation. Aang felt guilty for not stopping the destruction from happening, but only to be comforted by Katara. Team Avatar later met a young girl from a village where several people went missing including Shi-yong. He later agrees to help save the people.
When Team Avatar got to the forest where the shrine to the spirit is, Aang meditate where he's taking both Katara and Sokka to the Spirit World. They met a giant owl named Wan Shi Tong, who warns Aang about the incoming danger and told him to stay on the path. However, they were chased by an angry spirit named Hei Bai which gotten themselves separated. Aang later ended up at the Fog of the Lost Souls where he was taken back to where the Southern Air Temple is still there before the Air Nomad genocide like it used to be, but only for him to resist as he believed it wasn't real. He later met a spirit named Koh and runs away from him. After he escaped from Koh, Aang found a stone hut where he reunites with Gyatso and learned about how dangerous Koh is. Before he departs with Gyatso, Aang decide to visit Roku's shrine to contact him for his help.
====Masks====
When he arrives at the Crescent Island, Aang enters into the Fire Temple to talk to Avatar Roku, but only to be greeted by the Fire Sages with hostility until he was saved by the Great Sage. While meditating, he was able to talk to Roku where he learned that he took a totem from Koh's mother, Mother of Faces. After finished talking with Roku, he was later captured by June who later gives him to both Zuko and Iroh. While he was held captive, Aang begs both Zuko and Iroh to release him until Zhao takes him away from them.
He was taken to Pohuai Stronghold for the night where he was kept imprisoned alive in torturous conditions. However, he was later saved by a mysterious figure named the Blue Spirit and helps him escape from the stronghold. Despite discovering the true identity of the Blue Spirit was revealed to be Zuko, Aang refused to leave him behind and they hide inside a barn. Knowing how much Zuko has been going through a lot, Aang convinced him he doesn't need to be like the other Fire Nation, only for Zuko to get angry and Aang knocks him out with his airbending. Before parting their ways, he asked Zuko if they could ever be friends, but only for the Fire Nation prince to reject by firebend at him. When he returns back to the forest where Katara and Sokka were still unconcious, Aang returns to the Spirit World to give the totem back to Koh which saved all lives captured. When he got to the stone hut, he discovered that Gyatso has disappeared.
====The North====
The Team Avatar were arrived at the Northern Water Tribe where they were greeted by its people including Chief Arnook and Pakku. Aang warned them about the Fire Nation's planning to attack the North, but Arnook and Pakku did know about it. They're later having a feast thrown by Arnook.
The next morning, Arnook and Pakku were being disappointed over the fact that Aang only used airbending instead of other three elements, so he won't be able to help as much in the war. After Yue brought him to Kuruk's temple, Aang meditates where he was able to talk to Kuruk. He asked Kuruk to take over his body like Kyoshi did, which he refused and tells him that his adventure into the Spirit World disrupted him from going into the Avatar State and relying on his friends will prevent him from continued his duty as an Avatar, just like how Kyoshi and Roku stated. Later, Aang and the others were later witnessing the fight between Katara and Pakku until they noticed the Fire Nation's arrival.
====Legends====
After Team Avatar managed to ambush the Fire Nation ship, they realized how much army they've need to take down. During the battle against the Fire Nation, Aang used his waterbending to take down the flaming boulders that they fired at the Northern Water Tribe. Later that night, Aang was warned by the spirit of Kuruk that he senses his knife nearby and the Moon and Ocean Spirits are in danger. When he and Katara get to Kuruk's temple, they were encountered by Zuko who attempt to capture him again. While Katara stays behind to fight against Zuko, Aang went to the spirit oasis to stop Zhao from killing the Moon Spirit. When Zhao is about to kill the Moon Spirit, Aang tried to stop him, but the Fire Nation admiral refused to listen and proceed to do so before Iroh stops him. He used his airbending to keep the Moon Spirit away from Zhao, but it's too late as he already killed it.
Remembering the words of his previous incarnations', Aang enters into the Avatar State and merged with an Ocean Spirit where he took a form of a giant Koizilla to take down most of the Fire Nation armada. While he initially refused listening to Katara's pleas to come back, he later regained his composure and separated from the Ocean Spirit following Yue's sacrifice to revive the Moon Spirit. Following the aftermath of the battle, Aang began to feel remorseful of letting this happen and decide to continue his duty as the Avatar by mastering the other three elements in order to save the world.
==Personality==
Spending most of his life in the Southern Air Temple, Aang is a kind-hearted and caring individual. From a young age, Aang grew up unaware of his identity as the Avatar. Before the war, Aang often appreciated visiting his friends, Bumi in Omashu and Kuzon in the Fire Nation. After learning his destiny as the one who would bring balance to the World, Aang confessed to Appa that he didn't want to be the Avatar because his deepest fear was ending up alone. He was also a selfless person, such as agreeing to leave with Zuko if he left Wolf Cove alone. According to Katara, Aang can connect with other people, as he is friendly to the children on Kyoshi Island. During his conversation with Zuko in a barn after their escape from the Stronghold, Aang empathized with Zuko and the two nearly bonded over being caught. However, after Aang stated that Zuko needed to show compassion to others and that he didn’t need to be like the other Firebenders, Zuko lashed out at him. It ended with Aang knocking the Fire Prince unconscious. Despite Zuko attacking him, Aang apologized to him for hurting him because someone had already emotionally and physically scarred Zuko a long time ago.
Upon waking up 100 years later in the Southern Water Tribe in Wolf Cove, Aang learned the true fate of all the other Air Nomads and that he was the last Airbender. Since then, Aang blamed himself for the decimation of those he considered his family, even entering the Avatar State when he saw Gyatso’s corpse. After Sokka finds out that Aang is the Avatar, he calls him a coward for running away, further causing Aang to blame himself for the Air Nomad Genocide. However, when he reunites with Gyatso in the spirit world, Aang can come to terms that it wasn't his fault when his mentor tells Aang he would have been slaughtered if he stayed. In the aftermath of the Siege of the North, Aang was devastated for letting it happen until Sokka and Katara convinced him that none of it was his fault and that this was the true spoil of war.
Because of his job of bringing balance to the world, Aang tries to help those in need, even when they don't ask for it. He offered his assistance to Teo and the Mechanist when Omashu was falling victim to bombings of blasting jelly and helping a Fire Nation settlement figure out what happened to their missing civilians. After being told that the duties of the Avatar must come before everything, even his own life, Aang refuses to let Katara join the fight with the other water benders, fearing that he will lose her and Sokka like he lost the Air Nomads. However, he changes his mind when Katara and Sokka convince him that he can't do it all by himself. He later took it upon himself to merge with La's after Zhao murdered his partner, Tui. However, Katara reached through him after the moon was restored into the sky, convincing Aang that she, Sokka, and the rest of Team Avatar are family. Aang's empathy for life and all extends even to his enemies.
