Pabu's relationships

B

This page is comprised of Pabu's relationships with other characters in the Avatar World.

Naga
"'No, Naga! Pabu's a friend, not a snack.' — Korra warned Naga to be friendly with Pabu in 'The Revelation'."



Naga first met Pabu when Korra and Mako brought Naga to Triple Threat Triad's headquarters. Naga initially tried to eat him; however, she was fortunately stopped by Korra, who warned her to be kind to Pabu. Apart from their first misunderstanding, Naga and Pabu seemed immediately comfortable with each other to the point where Naga did not protest when Pabu stood on her head to drink from the same water source as she did. Later, when Pabu arrived on Air Temple Island with Mako, Bolin, and Asami, he immediately ran toward Naga and sniffed her nose. Afterwards, Naga playfully chased the fire ferret around the island.

Bolin
"'The only one I can trust anymore is Pabu! Pabu loves me.' — Bolin to Mako in 'The Spirit of Competition'."



Bolin first met Pabu in Republic City, where he rescued him and made him his pet. Afterwards, he joined Bolin in playing a series of pranks on Mako. When the team needed to raise money for the entry fee into the Pro-bending Tournament, Bolin and Pabu made an attempt at being street performers, with Pabu doing minor circus tricks. However, they earned a total of only one yuan. During Bolin's emotional breakdown, Pabu joined him in overindulging on noodles. Pabu understands Bolin's instructions very well, as demonstrated by his performances and when the team was tied up following the Equalists' attack on the Pro-bending Arena. Bolin gestured for Pabu to bite through the rope, which the fire ferret quickly understood, freeing them from their trap.

Korra
After meeting the Avatar, Pabu quickly warmed up to her. He sometimes went along with Korra, when she was under pressure. When Korra cried on Air Temple Island, Pabu licked her cheek so as to calm her down. Pabu was also by Bolin to convince Korra to come to the Sato estate with Mako and Bolin.

Tenzin's children
"What's that fuzzy creature?' 'That is a fire ferret. An arboreal mammal common to the bamboo forest of the central Earth Kingdom.' 'He's cute! — Meelo, Jinora, and Ikki describing Pabu in 'When Extremes Meet'."

Arriving on Air Temple Island, Tenzin's children greeted Mako, Bolin, and Asami, with Pabu running toward the land, shown himself to the people. Meelo, the youngest, inquired as to what species the creature was. Jinora easily answered, describing the fire ferret itself and Ikki mentioned that he was cute.
