Ba Sing Se University student

"earth"

- I've never seen any sandbenders or nomads around here. You should ask Professor Zei. He teaches the class on desert cultures.

This Ba Sing Se University student was a resident of Ba Sing Se and a student at its university.

History
Not much is known about this young man's background.

During his studies at Ba Sing Se University, he ran into Team Avatar. The group questioned him about the location of Appa, who had recently been stolen by the sandbenders, to which he replied that he had never seen any sandbenders or nomads in the city. However, he suggested the gang speak with Professor Zei, whom Team Avatar had ironically met some time beforehand.

The conversation took an awkward turn when Sokka questioned him about the War with the Fire Nation. Clearly uncomfortable with the topic, and with some influence from Joo Dee, the young man quickly gathered his belongings and left, leaving Team Avatar with unanswered questions.

Personality
The student seemed to be very cooperative and casual, as well as sociable, as when Team Avatar asked about Appa and the sandbender tribes, the young man was very friendly. However, like many of the residents of the city, he was very uncomfortable talking about the War.

It is also noteworthy that he had a very nasal voice, as well as glasses, which are rare in the World of Avatar.

Trivia

 * This student was one of three people whom Team Avatar interrogated, the other two being Pong and an unnamed pet shop owner.
 * It is suggested that this student had Zei as a professor. However, it is unclear why he wouldn't have noticed the professor's absence, though it is possible that he simply knew of Zei, and was not actually his student.
