Jaya

Jaya was Wan's brother and one of the first firebenders in the Avatar World. Along with the other impoverished citizens from his city, Jaya ventured into the Spirit Wilds to start a new life and escape the tyranny of the Chou family.

Hitsory
Jaya and his family lived on top of a lion turtle who could bestow the ability to bend fire, in a treehouse on the outskirts of the city. Unlike Wan, he was originally resigned to his fate as a commoner, depending entirely on food that Wan stole in order to survive.

After Wan stole the ability to bend fire from a lion turtle, Jaya expressed uncertainty about looting the Chou estate, and reiterated that it was illegal to bring the ability to bend into the city. Despite this, he accompanied Wan and several other villagers on a raid of the Chou estate. He escaped along with the other villagers while Wan remained to fight the guards.

The following day, Jaya and Crazy Yao witnessed Wan's banishment into the Spirit Wilds, and lamented over his fate, under the belief that he would die within a day. When an expedition of hunters returned and confirmed that Wan had been living among the spirits and protecting the Spirit Oasis, Jaya resolved to venture into the wilds as well, believing himself capable of surviving if Wan had done the same.

Along with the other villagers, Jaya settled in the Spirit Wilds, but engaged in several conflicts against hostile spirits, whom he developed a deep hatred against after losing Yao and several other friends. With firebending, he began to burn down trees with the other villagers in an attempt to destroy the spirits, catching the attention of Raava and Wan.

Shortly after reuniting with his brother, Jaya engaged in an altercation with Aye-Aye and a parade of spirits. Wan attempted to mediate the conflict and demonstrated the ability to bend all four elements, much to Jaya's surprise. However, Wan was unable to cope with the surge of energy that came when he bound himself to Raava, and passed out. In the midst of this, the two parties fought, and Jaya was killed during the battle that ensued.

Personality
Originally, Jaya was accepting of the fact that he would never be an individual with power, and disagreed with Wan's attempts to prove otherwise. He was often hesitant of actions that disagreed with the norm, as he showed when he expressed uncertainty about raiding the Chou estate.

After living in the Spirit Wilds, he developed a sense of courage, along with a deep hatred of all spirits. Aggressive in nature, Jaya was quick to start battles against spirits, which ultimately led to his death.

Abilities
Although Jaya did not develop his firebending abilities to the level that his brother did, he was skilled in the use of the art as a weapon, having been capable of surviving the Spirit Wilds and several encounters with spirits.
