June (Avatar)

**June** is a minor character in the 2008 animated TV series, *Avatar: The Last Airbender*, serving as the secondary antagonist of the episode "Bato of the Water Tribe" and a supporting protagonist on the 4-part series finale, "Sozin's Comet". She is an amoral bounty hunter whose only real loyalty is towards the highest bidder, and as a result, thanks to her pet shirshu Nylah, tracks down any bounty with ease. She was at first hired by Zuko to find and capture Avatar Aang and then becomes an ally to the heroes when needed to find Aang to save the Earth Kingdom.

She is voiced by Jennifer Hale.

## What Makes Her Magnificent?

* Is an incredibly sassy and competent bounty hunter who through the use of her pet Nylah tracks down people from the other end of the continent with ease, beginning with tracking down a stowaway on Zuko's ship that he was unaware of was even present and managing to capture him.
* She will always spend her free time radiating her own charisma by being an awesome bar fighter who would beat much more muscular men in an arm-wrestling competition with ease and sue the money she earns to buy drinks from everyone. Everyone even beaten by her and all the patreons all like her for this and showcases her genuine affability.
* Tracks down Katara all across the Earth kingdom across multiple cities and ambush her and Sokka.
* When Aang was not with her, June quickly changes her strategy on the fly and has Nylah sniff out Aang's scent from one of their possessions to the plaza and sets up a trap for him.
* Doesn't flinch at all when Appa ambushes her and knocks her out of Nylah, performing an acrobatic stunt and whipping him and has Nylah strike him down multiple times to paralyze him and take the much tougher sky bison down.
* While her relationship with her shirshu Nylah was rough, it improves, and she has been treating her kindlier in her second appearance.
* Even after being defeated, June just gets back being her same old self being an awesome bar fighter, never missing a beat and being even more awesome, beating up multiple men at once with just a drink in her hand and a smirk. Only time she lets it go is when she tosses it up to toss a man twice her size across the room and then caching it again with not a single drop spilled.
* Happily, tracks down Aang, and later Iroh hen Aang was not on the mortal plane, for the heroes upon learning of the Fire Lord's plan to burn the entire Earth Kingdom down, leaving them without pay even due to the severity of the issue as she wishes them luck before leaving.
* She helps Zuko find his mother, according to Zuko at the end of *The Promise,* which she only fails due to Ursa gaining a new face and identity by the Mother of Faces.
* Ultimately June's sassiness and overall sarcasm gives her a unique charm to her in comparison to most of the franchise's villains that gives her a memorable presence for a rather minor character that would be unable to do as much as Azula, Varrick, Zaheer, Amon and Kuvira.

## What Makes Her a Baddie?

* Is ultimately an amoral bounty hunter who wouldn't care at all about the fate of her targets after handing them all to whoever pays her, willing to help Zuko capture Avatar Aang, Sokka and Katara for execution or worse by tracking down due to the large sum of money offered.

## Trivia

* She is the only villain form the original *Avatar* series to count as Magnificent Baddie.
* While she is currently a Magnificent Baddie, this may change once the *The Bounty Hunter and the Tea Brewer* standalone comic comes out, which will focus on June and Iroh.
