Avatar: The Last Airbender

Sokka

Sokka

Sokka, too young to fight during the Fire Nation’s attack, grew up preparing to defend his village. He joined his sister Katara after they discovered the Avatar, proving to be a critical component in ending the 100-year war. Despite not being a bender, Sokka was a capable fighter, inventor, and tactician, leading the invasion on the Day of the Black Sun and stopping the Fire Nation air fleet.
