Character name: Jet Fandom: Avatar: The Last Airbender Timeline: 2.07 - right before his death blow. Age: 16 ~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: No magic here. How would they use their abilities?: N/A Appearance: Jet’s pretty tall. He has scruffy brown hair, tanned skin and is slightly muscular, a rough-looking teenage boy in ragtag armor. Background/Personality:
Jet’s personality is one of twists and turns as the series progresses. When he’s first seen, in episode ten of the first season, he’s proven to be very charismatic. He knows how to get what he wants, particularly from Katara and Aang. Even against Sokka’s warnings he still seems to win them over by glorifying whatever plan he has, in the case of that episode he planned on flooding a village along with its harmless citizens. He insisted that they were sacrifices required to clear the area of the Fire Nation – who controlled the city. Katara doesn’t learn this until the end, where it would have been too late had it not been for Sokka.
It becomes clear of Jet’s wrath and paranoia for the Fire Nation and anyone associated with it. This is later displayed towards the end of season two when he meets Zuko as a refugee, both looking to start a new life. The instant Jet sees Iroh heat his tea he becomes obsessive over it, stalking the pair for any further evidence that would let the public know they were firebenders. He watches them day in and day out to the point where what’s left of his companions, Smellerbee and Longshot, become deeply concerned for him. He lashes out on Zuko and in turn, gets arrested and brainwashed that there’s no war.
Jet’s also a very good leader, despite his manipulative behavior. He knows how to keep those around him motivated, even though his original group had lost their homes and families to the Fire Nation. He’s also coordinated – this is also shown mostly through his first appearance. He claims he waited all day for a distraction to ambush the Fire Nation soldiers, he knows what to do with the goods they take, and even plans in advance how to wipe out the dam. All of which are successful, though in the end they don’t all get the results he’d hoped for.
It may be from his deceitful behavior, but Jet’s also generally good at hiding his feelings. Not once does he express his deep hatred for the Fire Nation until the end of his first appearance. By the second time he comes around, after he gets his memory erased, it becomes clear how much hurt and anguish he’s suffered in his lifetime. When he starts getting some recollection back he claims he doesn’t want to, that it hurts too much to do so. It all seems to hit him at once, but by this point his obsession isn’t on Zuko or Iroh. Instead, he focuses on helping Aang find Appa.
