Meng

"earth"

- Take care... Floozie.

Meng lives in Makapu Village below Mt. Makapu in the northern region of the Earth Kingdom, and is the young assistant for Aunt Wu the fortuneteller. Part of her job includes greeting Aunt Wu's guests and bringing them snacks.

History


Meng was a bit younger and shorter than Aang,and also had a major crush on him from the moment they first met. Part of this crush may have been influenced by Aunt Wu, who prophesied that Meng was destined to marry a man with big ears. The fact that "Meng" and "Aang" sounded similar also seemed important. Throughout the day, Meng stalked Aang and dropped giant hints of her crush on him, but he stayed oblivious. Even worse, Aang used her ideas to try to impress Katara.

Young as she may be, however, she was observant enough to recognize that Aang did not share her feelings for him. Meng showed no bitterness toward him when he told her this and instead helped Aang obtain the copy of Aunt Wu's cloud reading book that he sought. With it, Aang was able to convince the villagers that Mt. Makapu was about to erupt and, in doing so, would destroy the village.

Even though she's not related to Aunt Wu, Meng looked up to her mentor and thought of her like her grandmother. Although Meng was a little clumsy, she did make some delicious bean curd puffs. When Aang, Katara and Sokka left, Meng waved to Katara, but as she left, Meng muttered that Katara was a "floozie".

Trivia

 * Jessie Flower, Meng's voice actress, also plays Toph.
 * At the time, Aang is awakening to his crush on Katara. He goes to Sokka for girl advice, not telling him who the mystery girl is. Sokka tells Aang that to get this mystery girl's attention he should just ignore her, and when Meng comes along he actually ignores her which makes Sokka assume that it was Meng that Aang wanted to impress.
 * Meng has a different crush every week.
 * Unlike Katara and Sokka, Meng notices Aang's crush on Katara. This shows that she can be very observant.
