Avatar: The Last Airbender Family Tree Explained

Breaking down the family ties in Avatar: The Last Airbender

The universe of Avatar The Last Airbender has grown beyond it’s initial animated series. Between the follow up The Legend Of Korra and the sequel comics to both series, the family trees of Team Avatar have gone far beyond what the animation presented. So we’re taking a look at just how interconnected this family is! For instance, did you know that Prince Zuko and Princess Azula have a half-sister on their mother’s side? The very same mother whose disappearance was alluded to at the end of the show. We also take a look at Aang and Katara’s family, Sokka’s lack thereof, and Toph’s estranged family.

While the Legend of Korra addresses the outcomes of many of our favorite pairings, we may be waiting for another comic or, fingers crossed, another animated series to tell us if Sokka and Suki stayed together, or who the mother of Zuko’s daughter ended up being. Speaking of Zuko, his family tree could have looked a lot different if Ursa hadn’t taken the actions she had to keep her son safe. In the end, her disappearance was ultimately for his benefit. The sequel comics really do add so much to this series, and perhaps the upcoming Netflix adaptation might add some new layers to this universe! Or hopefully can at least gain enough popularity to revive the show for a season!

So let’s break down all of the family trees, both biological and spiritual, for our main cast in the Avatar: The Last Airbender universe

Fun psych fact: Memories can be strong enough to invoke the exact emotions a person felt when the experience originally happened.

[katieakin]

I agree that Eska and Desna are creepy, but after rewatching LOK, I think they’re pretty cool characters 😊

[Danni]

It's funny how earlier he pronounced "Mai" as May 8:27 and then calls "Mai(May)" Mai(My)! 9:42 lol 😂

[kevinc]

That wasnt an explaination at all.. that was just a recap of everything we already know. An explaination wouldve been confirming theorys and rumors about the unknown..

[DirectorsChoice]

I love that the Avatar has a balance of consequences both good and bad for each generation. It’s so realistic in terms of human history.

[tomveveris]

I just clicked on this because I thought it was a pitch meeting. Whoopsie

[ilikedontlike]

I feel like monk giaustu was aang's grandpa they had such wonderful relationship plus some people are blessed that way sacred and unspoken

[michaelbrent]

I wonder if the people behind avatar and legends of Korra will do another series!

[canarynoir]

okay everyone complains about how the movie butchered all the character names....yet why do so many youtubers call Mai “My” instead of “May”, which she clearly is in the show??! 🤨

[Ck_magic]

Zuco and Azula are very similar to noatok and tarrlok,

[silentshadow]

wouldn't korra also be some how related to Yuei since she is water tribe royalty?

[i_hei_in]

Desks and eska mom (melina) was mentioned during the comics north and south but that one was probably dead before uniloqe was born

[maroekere]

Why are there so many avatar family tree mysteries?!

[SK-vvip]

If Korra's uncle was the chief of the Northern Watar Tribe does this mean she and Yue are related somehow? 🤔
I mean Korra is technically Watar Tribe royalty.... her dad was heir to the Northern Watar Tribe throne and was banished because of his brother, her uncle usurped her dad and was chief, and her cousins are co-chiefs. So we know her family didn't marry into the chiefdoom of the Watar Tribe but is a part of its bloodline or bloodlines.

We all know by now that Sokka is the father of Suyin, cuz in the comic's sokka and Suki broke up (at least that's what the creators of the atla and lok said) maybe we will see it in the new comic coming up "Suki alone"

[maro]

Ok... I know how it’s spelt.. but Mei is pronounced like may.. like the month

[GetOmerHere]

Why are mentorships being discussed in a video about family trees?

[mosesirungu]

It's practically cannon that mai is izumis mother because izumi is named after the fountain they fell into when they were kids

[cooper]

Tough has the only last name in avatar

“Tenzin has four children, nothing much to say about them” Jinora became an air bending master at 11- younger than Aang and has magical spirit powers Aang didn’t have, Ikki and meelo are gifted air benders (Rohan the baby is also an air bender, Katara says it in the series).
