- 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 in bladed weapons such as the sword and knife. Pictured here, Smellerbee is holding a Nepalese Khukri in her mouth whilst wielding two shortswords.

History


Smellerbee is first seen in Book 1 with Jet and the Freedom Fighters battling a group of Fire Nation soldiers at a camp. She is rarely seen in "Jet". But she is seen to be very loyal and obedient by following Jet's orders to use blasting jelly to destroy the town. Smellerbee and Pipsqueak take Sokka for a walk after he hears about Jet's plan. She, along with Pipsqueak, is thwarted by him by running into animal traps. Finally, Pipsqueak asks her if she is going to eat her lichee nuts. She replies by throwing them at him.

In Book 2: Earth, she travels with fellow Freedom Fighters Jet and Longshot to start a new life in Ba Sing Se. While on the ferry ride, Iroh comments that Smellerbee is an unusual name for a young man. This angers her, and she ruefully says, "Maybe it's because I'm not a man. I'm a girl!". When Jet believes he spots Iroh using Firebending to heat up his tea, Smellerbee avidly protests Jet's choice to pursue Iroh and Zuko. Both she and Longshot witnessed Jet's ensuing arrest by the Dai Li. The two later found Jet while he was brainwashed and preventing Aang and his friends from finding Appa. 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 Aang and his friends during the infiltration of Lake Laogai. Smellerbee was last seen in the Dai Li's underground base submerged beneath Lake Laogai, alongside Longshot and a severely injured Jet, having urged Aang's group to follow after Appa. Her current status is unknown.

Trivia

 * Smellerbee's gender was never truly said 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 Avatar Extras, Jet, it was confirmed that she was, in fact, female. In Avatar Extras, The Serpants Pass, it is suggested Smellerbee and Longshot are involved romantically.
 * Smellerbee appears to be skilled in weapons, first seen fighting with two swords and holding a dagger in her mouth, which may be a reference to the swordsman Roronoa Zoro from One Piece who uses Santouryu (Three Sword Style) by holding his third sword in his mouth.
