He makes the moves on June when she isn’t interested (creepy) but also when they pass through where the Fortuneteller is tells her he has no more mysteries but one he doesn’t want to know (death). Before finally losing at the end of the episode. She is great in how she doesn’t care about anything but money and Nyla and does a great job holding her own in the battle against Team Avatar, nearly defeating them (she captures Sokka and Katara). June – June doesn’t take crap from anyone and is tougher than all the men in the bar. For example when June arrives with Iroh and Zuko they use the perfume they make to blind her Shirshu Nyla which leads to the final victory over Zuko, Iroh and June. The Abbey – The nuns are pretty stubborn and strict but have more to them too. He is an adventurous guy who cares deeply for his friend’s kids. He also knows they are young and is forgiving of Aang when Aang takes the message but returns it later. He tells them stories of their father and the adventures the two of them had together as well as helping them go through a coming of age ceremony called Ice Dodging. The Pros: Bato – Bato is a great mentor to Sokka and Katara in this episode. Around this time Zuko hires a Bounty Hunter named June to help him capture the Avatar. It is with Bato they explore their heritage while Aang deals with being an outcast, at first stealing the message when it was delivered.

It is here that Katara and Sokka are given the chance to meet their father again when they hear a message is being sent where to meet him. The story involves Team Avatar meeting Bato of the Southern Water Tribe who was dropped off at an Abbey by Katara and Sokka’s father so he would recover. The episode was directed by Giancarlo Volpe and written by Ian Wilcox. He has no people while this episode is all about the Southern Water Tribe. In this episode we get to see Aang’s selfishness and more humanization of Katara and especially Sokka, as well as how outside of everything Aang is, both as the Avatar and the Last Airbender. “Bato of the Water Tribe” is a great episode for Team Avatar.
