Ummi

Ummi was a girl who lived in the Southern Water Tribe and was going to be married to Avatar Kuruk. Her whereabouts are currently unknown, except that her face was stolen by Koh, the Face Stealer.

During the New Moon Celebration, Ummi met Avatar Kuruk. The two immediately fell in love and began a relationship. Kuruk soon proposed to Ummi with a betrothal necklace. The two were to be married at the Spirit Oasis in the Northern Water Tribe. However, as she crossed the bridge, she was pulled by an unseen force into the water. Kuruk jumped in after her, but could not rescue her in time. Koh, a spirit, had lured and trapped her forever to punish Kuruk for his arrogance.

Centuries later, when Avatar Aang entered the Spirit World, he confronted Koh and saw Ummi's face. Several months after that, Aang bumped into Kuruk and told him that Koh had Ummi's face. Kuruk then vowed that he would keep hunting Koh until he and Ummi were reunited again. He found the spirit and had every intention to destroy him, but could not, as he realized that destroying Koh meant also destroying the love of his life.
