Canyon guide

"earth"

- They're coming back for me! They've had a taste, and they're coming back for me!

The Canyon Guide leads people across the massive canyon known as the Great Divide located in the Earth Kingdom. He has extensive knowledge of the creatures, geography, and climate of the canyon and its surroundings. The Canyon Guide is a pleasant person who seems to enjoy his job.

The Canyon Guide does not do well with intense conflict between people and shows somewhat paranoic speeches during the attacks of the Canyon Crawlers, though it would appear he is able to handle natural, earth-based crises with little difficulty. In calmer moments, the Canyon Guide is both wise and perceptive, and his keen observations are able to help others understand the nature of their problems and eventually how to solve them.

History


On one trip the Guide had to lead two feuding tribes and the Avatar through the canyon. The Canyon Guide arrived, and both tribes got into an argument over who got to go first. The Zhangs said that they should because they had sick people, and the Gan Jins said that they should because they had old people. Aang reached a compromise and suggested that Appa carried their sick and elderly across, while the two tribes traveled together across the canyon. The Canyon Guide warned them not to take any food into the canyon, as it would attract dangerous predators. After he had broken a rock shelf so that potential Fire Nation soldiers couldn't follow them, a Canyon Crawler attacked. Aang and his friends fended it off, but the Guide's arms were broken, which meant he couldn't Earthbend and there was no going back.

He was later seeing, along with Aang, the campsites of both tribes, commenting as they were alone due to their neutral position. Aang said that he wanted to help those people, but getting out of the canyon was more important. The Guide revealed his wise nature by replying he sometimes thought both problems were related.

They reached the end of the canyon, where the tribes argued some more and prepared to fight and end the feud once and for all. Aang became angry and used Airbending to stop the fight, but in the process revealed the food from both tribes and attracted many Canyon Crawlers. By working together and throwing bags over the Crawlers' heads while the Crawlers were distracted with food, everyone was able to ride them up the wall and out of the canyon. After they got out, the Canyon Guide quit his job as a guide and left with the two tribes.
