Avatar: The Last Airbender age of characters

Q: How old are Katara and Aang?

Though Aang is technically over 100 years old, hes biologically only 12. And though Katara herself is only 14 at the start of the series, the gulf between a 12-year-old and a 14-year-old is far greater than that between a 30-year-old and 32-year-old.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has always been known for its incredible storylines, battle scenes, and characters. Even years after the show first premiered, fans new and old can't get enough of seeing Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and the rest of the gang as they try to save the world in the middle of the big war against the Fire Nation. Even though these kids basically have the fate of the whole world on their shoulders, you might be surprised to know just how young they actually are.

Here's everything you need to know about the ages of the characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Age: 12/112

Ages can get a little tricky when you accidentally get frozen in an iceberg for over 100 years. Aang was only 12 when they disappeared and he wasn't set free until 100 years later, technically making him 112 at the start of the series.

Age: 14

The young waterbender is only 14-years-old throughout the entire series, which makes her bending skills especially impressive for someone so young.

Suki has been training to be a Kyoshi warrior since she was eight and she's also the oldest out of the troupe.

Azula

Age: 14

That's right, Azula is only 14 throughout the entire series, which might be surprising to some. This also means there's a two year age difference between her and older brother Zuko.

Age: 15

The knife-throwing master is right between Zuko and Azula's ages, so it makes sense that she's close to both.

The actrobatic fighter is the same age as Azula and they even went to the same school together.
