Aang was the main protagonist of the Avatar series and a boy with a marvelously ebullient disposition. As adventurous as he is free-spirited, the young hero sought Katara’s affections amidst his quest to defeat Fire Lord Ozai and fulfill his destiny.
However, there are many other potential anime partners he would be just as (if not more) compatible with. By identifying them and assessing how their qualities accommodate Aang’s own, we can better glimpse the Avatar’s preferences and how they could be met. Note that Aang’s age will be adjusted based on that of his matchup, applying either his original series or Korra iterations appropriately.
10 Uraraka Shares Aang’s Zest For Life (My Hero Academia)
Uraraka shares many of Aang’s qualities, the most prevalent of which are her free spirit and willingness to help others. This would make them immediately compatible partners, given how much energy they have in common.
Additionally, Ochaco is capable of balancing fun with responsibility, as proven through her role in the Overhaul raid. Subsequently, she’d be reliable enough to ensure that the Avatar does not shirk his duties as he is sometimes inclined to do.
9 Hinata Would Admire Aang For The Same Reasons She Does Naruto (Naruto)
Although Hinata and Aang’s personalities could not be more contrasted, the latter’s qualities reflect much of her canon crush’s, Naruto Uzumaki. He is outgoing, strong, tenacious, and eager to make friends wherever he can find them.
Therefore, it follows that Hinata would be similarly attracted to the Avatar. The only complication to their fledgling relationship would be the kunoichi’s inability to orate her feelings, as Aang is notoriously oblivious and would require a concrete proclamation of interest in order to take a hint.
8 Nezuko Shares Aang’s Kindness & Completes Him Well (Demon Slayer)
Despite her demonic nature, Nezuko shares Aang’s qualities of kindness and has similarly benevolent priorities. Considering the nascent canon relationship with Zenitsu (and his own commonalities with the Avatar, including his fear of confrontation), this would make them an ideal match.
Since Aang can Earthbend proficiently, he would also be able to create makeshift refuges for Nezuko wherever she went, thereby shielding her from harmful sunlight if something were to happen to the large wooden container she is usually stored inside. This would afford her a considerable amount of freedom and safety.
7 Sasha & Aang Are Both Attuned To Nature (Attack On Titan)
Sasha and Aang are both attuned to nature in varying degrees. The former grew up hunting wildlife on a ranch, whereas the latter has conversed with ancient creatures and even traversed the spiritual plane.
Both characters are ebullient, hospitable, and receptive even toward strangers, with similar values that would make them a compatible pair. Their only obstacle to overcome would be Sasha’s obsession with meat and Aang’s lack thereof, as he was raised to be vegan. However, considering that the Avatar doesn’t have anything against his meat-eating comrades, it would only leave more for his partner to consume at dinnertime.
6 Suzie Q Was Demure But Enjoyed A Boisterous Partner (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure)
Suzie Q was the assistant of Lisa Lisa who quickly became charmed by Joseph Joestar’s mannerisms. His quirkiness and immaturity did not deter her from a relationship and instead made her fall head over heels.
Considering that Aang is just as goofy as Joseph and equally capable of defending her, Suzie would be smitten with him for similar reasons. His endless optimism would provide a solid foundation for their relationship.
5 Kagome Shares Aang’s Wanderlust & Sense Of Adventure (Inuyasha)
Having fallen through a well from the mortal world to stumble upon Inuyasha’s domain by sheer coincidence, an ordinary girl would have fled and returned home as quickly as possible. Kagome, however, stayed to explore her newfound surroundings and even made dozens of returning visits despite death-defying encounters.
Not only does this match Aang’s overall adventurousness, but it also entails that she has a sense of responsibility that the Avatar would desperately need to borrow from. Kagome would encourage him to see conflicts to the end on behalf of others.
4 Aang Would Bring Elizabeth Out Of Her Shell (Seven Deadly Sins)
Similar to Hinata, Elizabeth has often struggled with her shyness and inability to articulate herself. This would make her an excellent partner for Aang, as his boisterous spirit would provide the balm she needs for better self-expression.
Additionally, the princess of Liones is undeterred by immaturity, as proven through her successful relationship with Meliodas for several thousand years. Therefore, the Avatar’s sometimes childish mannerisms would make for a surprisingly viable asset to their future together.
3 Jasmine’s Mannerisms & Past Emulated Katara’s (Deltora Quest)
While Jasmine may not have personal similarities with Aang, she greatly resembles his crush, Katara. Not only was her mother taken by a malevolent empire when she was only a child, but she was also forced to rise to the occasion and assume responsibility for her own life as a result.
Subsequently, Jasmine possesses maturity, beauty, and self-reliance that Aang would find desirable. Given that her canon partner, Lief, was similar to the Avatar in the sense of gullibility and idealism, she may reciprocate his feelings if given enough time to learn that she can trust him.
2 Winry Is Attracted To Aggressively Optimistic Personalities (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Winry may have spent Fullmetal Alchemist on her homestead, but she was attracted to aggressively outgoing and ambitious personalities. Despite Edward Elric’s constant brushes with danger, she reliably fixed his automail while gently scolding him.
It follows that she would have a similar dynamic with Aang, especially given the frequently disastrous situations he places himself in, such as nearly being kidnapped by Azula in the Earth Kingdom and having been successfully seized by Zhao’s Yuyan archers. Aang’s thoughtfulness and resilience would be qualities she admires with rapt infatuation.
1 Alicia Freecss Would Be Charmed By Aang’s Stories & Life (Hunter X Hunter)
Alicia Freecss was Gon’s mother and a woman naturally drawn toward adventurers. This was proven through her connection with the mysterious Ging, among the Hunter Association’s most powerful members.
Considering that Aang would have dozens of fascinating stories to tell with age, she would quickly become smitten with his personality and tamed passion for life. Together, they would have a happy future in Republic City. Although its occasional threats may be distressing, the Avatar would still be much more reliable than her canon partner.
