History[]

When Aang came to the island, Koko and some of the other girls in the village quickly developed a crush on him. She became the ringleader of the group of girls who followed Aang around during his visit; they cheered for him under his window, ran after him, and watched in awe as he did push-ups. Koko was the first one to pose with Aang for a painting but was soon joined by the other girls who wanted to be included in the portrait, much to the annoyance of the artist.[3]

Koko and her friends accompanied Aang when he wanted to impress them by riding the unagi. However, they grew tired of waiting and left before the sea creature made its appearance. When Zuko subsequently attacked Kyoshi Island in search of the Avatar, Katara led Koko and one of her friends inside a house to safety.[3]

Soon after Team Avatar's departure, Koko and her friends were playing in the woods when they noticed a group of thugs harassing a local at the Crystal Falls waterfall. Distraught, she ran back toward her village, encountering Suki at Crescent Bridge. She told the Kyoshi Warrior what she had seen, before being told by Suki that she should stay at home until the criminals had been dealt with. Later, Koko took part in the celebrations honoring the completion of the repairs of their village and the Kyoshi Monument which had become neccessary after Zuko's attack. On the occasion, she noticed the foaming mouth guy freaking out and fainting, informing Oyaji that he had again done the "thing".[4]

In the following spring, when Katara and Sokka revisited the island in search of clues that might exonerate Aang, Koko was, like the other residents of Kyoshi Island, thoroughly disappointed and even angry upon learning that Aang was unable to accompany the Water Tribe duo on their visit.[1]

Personality[]

Young but self-assured and confident, Koko was very demanding of Aang's attention.[2][3] She did not like to wait and was not afraid of making that clear; for example, when Aang was talking to Katara before taking the girls for a ride on Appa, Koko grew impatient and angrily inquired as to why Aang was taking so long to get back to her and the group of girls. She enjoyed her prominence among Aang's fan club and was even so bold as to call him "Aangy".[3]
