    I got this info off of the Avatar: Master of Elements card game by UpperDeck.?? They could be new characters or just made up for the game.?? Do you think these characters could play in to the plot in the 3rd book?


    Afiko the Betrayer

    When the monks of the Southern Air Temple revealed that Aang was to be the next Avatar, another Airbender named Afiko was consumed with rage.?? Jealous of Aang, Afiko betrayed the monks to the Fire Nation and the Southern Air Temple was ransacked just a little too late to catch the Avatar, though.?? Afiko helped the Fire nakion destroy the rest of the Airbenders, and remained the Fire Lords trusted advisor for many, many long years.?? Afiko died years ago before Aang returned to ruin all his hard work.

    Kinto the Waterbender

    A waterbender from the Morthern Water Tribe, Kinto is an incorrigible prankster, who can't resist pulling ptactical jokes on even his closest, most trusting friends.?? That may be why Kinko can't seem to stay in place for very long.?? Though he says it's becuase he want's to see the entire world.

    Malu, The Ghost Witch

    For many uears after the Fire Nation first attacked, Malu, the Ghost Witch of the Mountain, was a legend in the Earth Nation: a mysterious, beautiful woman who could appear at will, and who commanded the spirits to do her bidding.?? In reality, Malu was an Airbender, hidden away in a mountain cave by her mother to escape the destruction of the Eastern Air Temple by the Fire Nation.?? She lived alone for many years, and no one knows what became of her.?? Many believe she still haunts the mountain passes.

    Jojo the Kissing Bandit

    Jojo the Kissing Bandit, is a celebrity in the Earth Nation: a cunning young lady Earthbender who robs from the rich, gives to the poor, and leaves her make victims with a big, red, lipstick covered kiss to remember her by.?? Jojo never robs anyone completely, and takes care not to hurt anyone, so the authorities aren't too concerned about catching her.?? (In fact, many of them daydream of being robbed by her, too!) Lately, Jojo has been seeing the Fire Nations wanted posters for Aang, the Avatar, and she's decided than Aang has the kind of face a young lady could fall in love with...

    Wow, I like this one. It might be a possibility since the creators said that they'll be showing more of the Air Nomads.

    But the fact that he is dead doesn't do much for the current plot. I was thinking along the lines of Malu (Ghost Witch) character for a long time now. I'm kind of surprised a 'secret' airbender hasn't appeared yet. The only reason it would be weird is the title of the show. It would have to be changed to 'Avatar: The Next to the Last Airbender'

    Afiko the Betrayer could be used in a flashback/history scene or as bait to get Aang really upset. He also could be an interesting prequel character.

    They sound more like someone's OC's than real characters... I'm doubtful.

    I agree. that's cool and it could lead to more seasons. Plus, I can can picture an episode being named Malu: The Ghost Witch.....Book 3 Fire Chapter 5 Malu The Ghost Witch..lol...sounds cool.

    Oh jebus, I didn't read the last part of the description!

    ^^;; Yeah, a flashback would be most appropriate for that character. I just don't see any other reason for more Earth Kingdom characters this next season since they're out of Ba Sing Sei now.

    Of all those characters only Afiko would fit into the show. Kinto would be a nice lil "wants to kill Aang so he can have Katara to himself" thing(btw the only capacity that I'll even character relationships) but that's about it.

    This seems redundant for some reason.

    I agree...
    Plus, I've seen those characters being discussed like billion times.
    It's also talks about them in Wikipedia.

    Malu, The Ghost Witch sounds neat. I would like to see the crew run into her.

    Do you understand how old she will be?
    She has to be atleast 100 years old.
    Do you want some old lady in the gang where everyone are kids?
    She began attacking the Fire Nation ten years into the war.

    She appears as a 12 year old girl.

    Also, these characters have been around for a half-year now. Besides, the only plot-worthy character is Afiko.

    These characters have been around for a while. I think they're just part of the card game, like there are some characters in the comics that don't appear on the show. They'll probably never premiere on the show, especially not Jojo, that'd 'cause way too much shipping conflict, IMHO, besides the show doesn't need new characters at this point except for possibly a firebending teacher.

    How could she possibly be a 12 year old girl? She looks young on the card, but I don't get it.

    I just saw them for the first time yesterday, so sorry if this is old news.

    Have any of them been confirmed/denied by credible sources?

    I think they are all made up for the game.

    I've never played the trading card games (pokemon, yu-gi-oh, etc.) so I just don't know. Is it normal for characters not in the show to be made up for the games?
