Monk Gyatso

Gyatso had a great sense of humor; he often played pranks on his peers with his pupil, Aang, and even used his airbending to cheat during a Pai Sho game. Though he often played around, Gyatso was also a wise man, and one of the five members of the Southern Air Temple's Council of Elders. He was a kind and understanding individual who was well-liked by other students in the temple. Gyatso held a great adoration for Aang, desiring to keep him close by his side and shelter his childhood to the point that the council saw fit to separate the two. An emphatic man, he had the ability to bring a smile to Aang's face, even when the latter felt depressed and under pressure. He also procrastinated in his training when he was younger, such as when he did not practice his gliding, instead choosing to race with Avatar Roku.
