Iio

"air"

- Choose well. A sky bison is a companion for life.

Sister Iio was an Airbender nun, and the Mother Superior of the Eastern Air Temple during Aang's childhood. She appeared in a flashback in the episode "Appa's Lost Days".

History
Sister Iio prepared several children, including Aang, to bond with a group of young Flying Bison. She gave each of them an apple, telling them how to choose a bison carefully, because "A Sky Bison is a companion for life". She always knew best, but she was so unaffected and cheerful, that no one really minded. She was said to be a super Air Ball player. Many details about the rest of her life remain unknown, though she either died when the Fire Nation attacked the Air Nomads, or before due to other causes.
