RESULTS: Best Major Character!

And in a surprise turn of events (to me at least) Sokka wins Season 1 of Avatar! Geeze. I thought Aang or Katara were going to be the winner this round...

Worst Major Character!

Zhao. Because he's a douche who punches fish.

Best Minor Character!

NOTE: Only showing the top 5 scorers of minor characters and the minor characters that scored a 0 or below in the above table.

I decided that the double crown of best minor character would go to Yue and Boomi! Yue for getting the highest score, and Boomi for making such a great impression that he got the highest average!

Worst Minor Character!

Ozai. Worst. Father. Ever.
