Due

"water"

- C’mon now, fellas. Just a little closer. Nice and easy. Nothing to worry about. We just fixin’ to eat ya.

Due is a Waterbender from the Foggy Swamp Tribe in the Earth Kingdom. He lives in the swamp with his friends Tho and Huu, as well as the rest of their tribe.

Due does not appear to be particularly intelligent, and it appears he usually lets Tho do most of the thinking for him. He seems to deeply value family ties and relationships; he considers himself and Katara to be "kin" because they are both waterbenders and even calls his catgator Slim a member of the family. In general, he is slow-witted but very friendly, and works hard alongside his friends and family to keep them happy and well-fed.

History


The ancestors of the Foggy Swamp Tribe migrated from the Southern Water Tribe thousands of years ago and found these swamps. Because of all the water in the swamp, the Waterbenders felt at home and decided to stay. The swamp folks are often considered strange because of what they eat (like opossum chicken and giant bugs) and the way that they speak.

While Momo and Appa are separated from Aang, Katara, and Sokka, they are being hunted by Tho, who is a little short and chubby, and Due, who is very tall and skinny. Aang finds Appa and Momo and stops Tho and Due, who are more than happy to find fellow Waterbenders outside of the Swamp in Aang and Katara.



Due reappears in "The Day of Black Sun, Part 1: The Invasion". Tho, Due, and Huu helped with the initial land stage of the invasion, but remained behind when they started scaling the volcano. When the eclipse ended, the Fire Nation revealed its airships. The airships proceeded to the beach to destroy the submarines. The three were last seen at the beaches protecting the subs from being destroyed, but their efforts proved to be in vain. Due was most likely in a Fire Nation prison with all the other warriors. But he was released along with the rest in the end of the series.
