One of Avatar: The Last Airbender's most touching relationships is also surprisingly one of its shortest. The show’s first season sees Aang, Katara, and Sokka traveling north towards the home of the Northern Water Tribe, where they come to meet Princess Yue. The bond that forms between Sokka and Yue, and the relationship’s heartbreaking end, perfectly exemplifies the core tenets of the Water people and contains an important lesson for us all about dealing with the ebbs and flows of life. So let’s take a closer look at Sokka and Yue and why their relationship was so important to the story!
