QuizAvatar: The Last Airbender
Which bender are you? (Avatar Edition)
Trouble's coming. Fire meets it head-on. Water turns it around. Earth outlasts it. Air is somewhere else when it lands. And you?
Answer as yourself: everyday problems, no powers needed.
Both series, lightly. Nothing here spoils a plot point, but a few results name what a character did.

The four ways of meeting force
- FIRE — Attacks first and hardest. The only element the bender creates instead of moving, so it needs nothing except you.
- WATER — Catches an attack and sends it back. The harder it comes, the more there is to use.
- EARTH — Stands still and takes it. The only element whose first rule is to wait.
- AIR — Isn't there when the attack lands. Never blocks, never hits back, just keeps moving.
Nobody in the show is simply born to their element. Zuko spends three seasons fighting his own fire. Toph learned earthbending from badgermoles. So this quiz doesn't ask which element you like — it asks how you handle things, and tells you which of the five that makes you.
About the art
Five plates and eight answer tiles, drawn for this quiz in a warm animated style: bright, saturated, and lit like a good afternoon.
Nobody here is a character from the show. Each figure is an original, drawn to show one way of meeting force.
Just for fun. Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.
