AtLA 30 Day Meme: Day Eleven - Favorite Minor Character

What is your favorite minor character from Avatar?

Spoilers will be below!

Well, I don't think Iroh is minor enough to count so I'll have to stick with my second favorite old dude! BOOMI!

Not only is Boomi epic enough to bend rocks with his face he also manages to disguise his evil tactical genius with the disguise of a kinda senile old dude. That, or his is a kinda senile dude but also a tactical genius. Either way it's too awesome for words!

So what about you? Who is your favorite minor character?

Tomorrow: If you could challenge anyone to an Agni Kai, who would you choose and why?

It's spelled Bumi, you know... ;)

I really like Master Piandao. He's a very badass character and he's the only non-bender among the high-ranking masters of the Order of the White Lotus.

And Avatar Roku. Roku is awesome.

I also love Bumi (spelled Bumi)!!!

I am going to vote for Hama, because you can't get creepier than her.

Once again, I seriously can't pick.

Bumi is awesome in so many ways, I love him.

Hama is incredibly creepy and memorable.

I love Avatar Roku and Avatar Kyoshi.

And of course, I must give a mention to the cabbage merchant. "MY CABBAGES!"

All good picks!

Unrelatedly, you will perhaps be interested in my thoughts on His Dark Materials.

I apparently answered this question early (back on the favorite character day), but I'll repeat my choice: THE BOULDER is ready to bury all other minor characters in a ROCKALANCHE!!!!

Depends on how we define "minor." If Mai doesn't count as minor, then probably Bumi. Otherwise, Mai.

I just really like Bumi - he's funny and deliberately so, and I love watching characters that seem to enjoy themselves.

It's hard to pick, but if I have to, I'd say Avatar Kyoshi. Creating Kyoshi Island + not buying into Disney Villain Death + "How dare you defy your Avatar!" = awesome in one giant of a woman. Also, bending with fans, I wants to do it.

My favourite so-minor-he-technically-doesn't-appear character is Lu Ten, just because of the massive effect his death had on Iroh, and how it always makes me tear up in Tales of Ba Sing Se.

My favourite proper minor characters are Piandao and Jeong-Jeong. I can't choose between them. Piandao is a wise, knowledgable Badass Normal, and JJ is tortured by what he sees as the destructive nature of his own power, that is so very much a part of him. Plus, they are both members of the OWL, and are totally awesome in the finale.

I have a soft spot for the foaming mouth guy, but I think I'm gonna have to go with Teo!

This show has such a wealth of amazing minor characters! Kya and Ursa, Smellerbee and Longshot, Song and Jin, Foamy Mouth Guy and Cabbage Man! How am I supposed to pick just one without five others springing to mind?

Case in point: right after posting my earlier comment, I remembered Ming the FN prison guard! A kind heart AND voiced by Serena Williams.

Longshot and Smellerbee. I love how these two can communicate with just a look. They would make beautiful, mute, androgynous, badass babies together.
