Earthbending academy teenagers

"earth"

- It's on the island of Nonya. None-ya business!

The earthbending students were two boys who attended classes at Master Yu's Earthbending Academy. Enthused about Earth Rumble VI, the pair appeared to be friends, or at least acquaintances.

History


While leaving Master Yu's Earthbending Academy, Team Avatar overheard the two boys praising Earth Rumble VI as a hot spot for the best earthbenders in came and competed against each other. When the team asked about what it was and where it was held, the boys refused to tell them, proceeding to laugh cruelly at them and walk off. Katara ran after the boys and came back with information about the tournament. When asked how, she replied, "A girl has her ways." As it turned out, she had encased them up to their heads in ice, leaving them scared and their heads locked together.

The team then returned to the academy after the tournament to find out who the mysterious Blind Bandit was, and they recognized Aang as the boy who had beaten her. They at first did not provide any information, but after Katara threatened them again, they shared information stating that the flying boar Aang had seen earlier in a vision was the symbol of the Beifong family. The team later used this information to track down Toph Beifong after Sokka ended the conversation by saying "Water Tribe".

Personality
Both students appeared to be quite obnoxious and egotistical. They displayed a nasty attitude towards Aang when asked about the Earth Rumble tournament, teasing and poking fun at him. They did, however, also appear somewhat cowardly, growing particularly intimidated in Katara's presence.

Trivia

 * One of the boys sports a hairstyle resembling that of the Earth Rumble competitor, The Big Bad Hippo; in a DVD commentary, the creators say this is because he is a fan.
