Blackjack is right. Metalbendist, you're not understanding what character development is. Bolin's personality was pretty much told to us or shown to us blatantly in the first episode and we never really "saw" him again. Sure he cracked a few jokes, but we already knew he was funny. Also ,you stated yourself in your own definition that development comes through change we see in a character (which is what dynamic means). Bolin never changes.

Sokka; in many episodes, we see new sides of him and what he's like, and we see change in his personality over time, toning down the sarcasm and sexism, becoming more serious, focused, an more of an outgoing critical thinker. As for Jet, I was able to understand what he was like in the first few minutes, and he dramatically changed in the end of the episode. Even through the 4 or 5 episodes we saw him, he went from a smooth bad boy, to an insane revenge-seeker, to a reformed do-gooder, to a brainwashed slave, to a dying hero. Bolin stayed utterly static throughout the entire series.
