Norm Spellman's Relationships
== Love Interest ==
=== Trudy Chacón ===
Trudy Chacón was Norm Spellman's girlfriend.
Norm appeared to share a mutual liking with Trudy, and he talked to her quite regularly during their flights, often joking. Prior to the Battle of Ayram Alusìng, they both seemed to share the same opinion that they were outmatched by the RDA forces, but remained loyal to Jake and the Na'vi.
In the original script, Norm was romantically linked to Trudy. While nothing suggests this in the final film, some deleted scenes in the Extended Collector's Edition do reveal this. The feelings seem to begin in a scene when Trudy invites Norm to feel the ship's control stick, and they realize they are touching hands. The two later have sex in the Hallelujah Mountains (Norm's attitude improves). In the original script, it also stated that Trudy's last words before her death were, "Norm, I love you!".
In The World of Avatar: A Visual Exploration, the off-screen relationship was made canon. Norm's biography mentions he found unexpected love, while Trudy's biography mentions her relationship with Norm became romantic.
== Friends and Allies ==
=== Jake Sully ===

When Norm first met Jake, he noted that Jake looked just like his brother, Tom, whom Norm had known during his training for the Avatar Program. He and Jake became fast friends, engaging in friendly banter to which Grace had to tell them to stop because it felt like kindergarten. However, Norm grew envious after Jake was simply allowed into the Omatikaya clan Hometree, while Norm himself spent years of his life training in order to become closer to them. He was incredulous when Jake asked who Eywa was, and seemed annoyed when Jake told him he had a date with the chief's daughter.
However, as time went on, Norm got over his initial envy, partially due to finding love with Trudy. Norm taught Jake more about the Na'vi culture, most notably the true meaning of "I See you". Norm tried to stop Quaritch from bringing Jake out of his avatar link. At a later date, he even punched an RDA soldier when attempting to do the same thing again on Parker Selfridge's orders.
After the destruction of Hometree, he was locked up along with Jake and Grace. After they escaped from Hell's Gate, Norm, despite feeling that they stood no chance against the RDA, fought among the Na'vi under Jake's command. Over a decade after the conflict, Norm and Jake remain close friends. Norm did not surrender to Ardmore and the RDA when they threatened the residents of Hell's Gate, choosing to remain loyal to Jake and the Na'vi. Norm flew all the way to the ocean to help Kiri, the two embracing in a warm hug.
=== Grace Augustine ===
Grace Augustine was the head of the program and friend of Norm.
Norm idolized Grace Augustine and referred to her as a legend. Grace greeted Norm more warmly than Jake, saying that she had heard good things about him and they had a brief conversation in Na'vi. It was Norm (in his avatar form) who carried Grace's avatar body to the Tree of Souls for her consciousness transfer, which ultimately failed due to her mortal wound at the hands of Quaritch. Norm was saddened when Grace died.
=== Tom Sully ===
Tom Sully is Norm's deceased friend.
Tom Sully, the deceased twin brother of Jake Sully, was also Norm's friend. Both had gone through training for the Avatar program together.
