ⓘBrown eyed ATLA characters

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

Unlike in our world, in the ATLA-verse brown eyes are rare.

As we all know, the eye color usually corresponds with the character's nationality.

Watertribe = Blue

Fire nation = Amber or grey

Earth kingdom = Green

Air nomads = Grey

Even Toph, who is blind, has a green tint to her eyes.

So, I tried thinking of brown eyed characters since there aren't that many. Most of these seem to be EK but it's definitely not exclusive.

Here they are below the cut, let me know if I missed any.

Jet.

Meng.

June.

Kei Lo.

Longshot and possibly Smellerbee, Pipsqueak and The Duke. They're drawn black, (except for Longshot's in some scenes) but very, very dark brown is the only realistic color they could possibly be.

Song and her mother.

Thanks @atla4art for pointing out Mai's seem to be brown. Like a sort of grey tawny color.

Yeaahhh I can't think of anyone else.

Sorry if tumblr deepfried the quality, I tried to get close ups. And sorry about the shadows or light on the pages, I couldn't find a light source good enough.

ⓘI added image descriptions (ONLY ON THE CLOSE-UPS WITH TEXT) incase you have a hard time reading the pages due to tumblr compressing the images.

ⓘATLA Freedom Fighters headcanon names.

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

No matter what canon explanation they might give for how the freedom fighters got their names, I'm sticking with my personal headcanon that Jet (nick)named them.

It seems more emotionally resonating.

So I headcanon that they had names before meeting him. He himself likely named himself "Jet."

The names you hear in the show seem like nom de guerre to me.

I already gave Jet one here .

Here are the rest, I hope I got the meanings right.

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

First off, Smellerbee.

Yukan.

The name is primarily of Japanese origin, where it most commonly means "brave," "courageous," or "bold" (from 勇敢).

Internationally it's seen as a unisex name but, from what I could find, the kanji characters used are more associated with masculinity.

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

Next, Longshot.

Jingshu.

The name is of Chinese origin and primarily means "smart and elegant" (from 智淑).

Or "gentle, quiet, beautiful" (from 静姝).

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

The Duke.

Luntian.

It's a Filipino (Tagalog) name meaning "green," "verdant," or "lush green."

It is derived from the root word < lunti > which refers to fresh vegetation or foliage.

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

Pipsqueak.

Yasuo.

Japanese, meaning "healthy / prosperous man" (from 康雄).

Or "peaceful / calm man" (from 安夫).

ـــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ــــــــــــــــــــﮩ٨ـ

And lastly, Sneers.

Asahi.

Of Japanese origin meaning "morning sun" or "rising sun" (from 朝日).

It's primarily a masculine name but has been accepted as gender nuetral or unisex too.

Literally no one asked for this but I ship Haru and Pipsqueak. Look I don't even know but they'd be cute together, right?

[tattoosforpigeons]

Thinking about the fact that no one in Jet’s gang had real names which is kinda a way to show how war erases identities. Like these kids are from villages that have been burned to the ground and completely wiped off the map. Their homes and families are gone and so are their names. Them not having names shows how the fire nation took everything from them even who they are. That’s the horror of war. Not the occupied cities. Not the maximum security prisons. Children who don’t have names because nobody is left alive to remember them.
