Hakoda met Aang shortly after the latter recovered from being fatally attacked. In 171 AG, when Tenzin was lost in the Fog of Lost Souls, a vision of Aang appeared, helping Tenzin to realize that his goal to be more like Aang was wrong and that he should just be himself instead. Tenzin has a great deal of respect for his father on his way back to Air Temple Island, he bowed his head respectfully to Aang's massive statue overlooking Republic City, and he also still appeared to miss his father greatly.
In his later life, Aang built Air Temple Island on which Tenzin and his family reside. He cared much for his father's view of him, having joined the United Forces to help protect the world as best he could to make Aang proud of him.
īumi, in particular, has had to deal with a lot of strain in regards to his Air Nomad roots as he was born a nonbender, which contradicted what his father wished, and admitted to having never felt any sort of connection toward his father's people until he actually gained the ability to airbend. Despite this, Bumi and Kya still hold dear affection toward their father, as they looked fondly at an old picture of them with Aang, and Kya remembers appreciatively that Aang was "nothing but supportive" when she revealed her sexual orientation to him. However, Tenzin also struggled with having to carry on the legacy of the Air Nation, and expressed his anxieties to Aang about his imperfections, such as the fact that he had not yet earned his mastery arrows in his teenage years, and the fact that he still lashed out sometimes, but Aang was quick to reassure him that Tenzin could never let him down, and he fully trusted him with the responsibility of the Air Nation's legacy. Tenzin eventually mastered the art and earned his arrows. This ultimately led to Aang spending more time with Tenzin than Bumi or Kya in order to pass his airbending knowledge and skill on to him, which also caused Aang's elder children to develop a slight resentment toward their father, which continued even in their adulthood. While Aang loved all his children equally, as noted by Tenzin, Aang was burdened with the responsibilities of both being the Avatar and keeping the Air Nomad lineage alive after his passing.
His second child, Kya, was his only daughter and the only waterbender among his children, and his youngest son, Tenzin, was the only child in the family who inherited Aang's airbending skills. His first born son and eldest child, Bumi, was a nonbender. Īang stood in with his entire family for a photo.Īang fathered three children with Katara. It was always just you and Dad." ― Kya to Tenzin about their childhood with Aang. " Bumi and I weren't on those great vacations.
