- As long as I'm confident with who I am, it doesn't matter what other people think.

Smellerbee is a member in a band of rebels known as the Freedom Fighters. Despite her tomboyish appearance, she takes offense when someone mistakes her gender. She appears to understand both Jet and Longshot more than the other Freedom Fighters did. She dresses in light armor and is seen to be proficient with bladed weapons such as the sword and knife.

History
Nothing much is known about her before "Jet" except she that ran away from home when the Fire Nation seized her parents' land and had taken up the responsibility of looking after The Duke.

Smellerbee was first seen in Book 1 with Jet and the Freedom Fighters battling a group of Fire Nation soldiers at a camp. She was rarely seen in "Jet", but she was seen to be very loyal and obedient by following Jet's orders to use blasting jelly to destroy the town. Smellerbee and Pipsqueak took Sokka for a walk after he heard about Jet's plan. She, along with Pipsqueak, was thwarted by him when they ran into animal traps. Finally, Pipsqueak asked her if she was going to eat her leechi nuts. She replied by throwing them at him.

In Book 2: Earth, she traveled with fellow Freedom Fighters Jet and Longshot to start a new life in Ba Sing Se. While on the ferry ride, Iroh commented that Smellerbee was an unusual name for a young man. This angered her, and she ruefully said, "Maybe it's because I'm not a man. I'm a girl!". When Jet believed he spotted Iroh using Firebending to heat up his tea, Smellerbee avidly protested Jet's choice to pursue Iroh and Zuko. Both Longshot and she witnessed Jet's ensuing arrest by the Dai Li. The two later found Jet while he was brainwashed. Jet claimed he was trying to help Aang and his friends find Appa. However, Jet was just part of Long Feng's plan to get Team Avatar to leave Ba Sing Se. It was Smellerbee who suggested that Jet focus on remembering how the Fire Nation had affected his life, allowing him to break free from the hypnosis. She then fought alongside Jet, Longshot, and Team Avatar during the infiltration of Lake Laogai. Smellerbee was last seen crying in the Dai Li's underground base submerged beneath Lake Laogai alongside Longshot and a fatally wounded Jet. Her current status is unknown.

Trivia

 * Smellerbee's gender was never truly stated until "The Serpent's Pass" when Iroh commented on Smellerbee being an "unusual name for a young man", only for Smellerbee to bluntly correct him, saying she's a girl. In the Avatar Extras of "Jet" it was confirmed that she was, in fact, female. Also, "The Serpent's Pass" with "Avatar Extras" commentary suggested Smellerbee and Longshot are involved romantically.
