| ~ Hama to Katara after she had to bloodbend her to save Aang and Sokka. |
Hama is a minor yet pivotal antagonist of the animated TV series Avatar: The Last Airbender, serving as the titular main antagonist of the Book 3 episode "The Puppetmaster".
She is a vengeful Waterbender who seeks to terrorize the Fire Nation out of spite for the conditions its soldiers put her through under the rule of Azulon. Upon meeting Katara and her friends, she teaches Katara other ways to waterbend that she didn't know and eventually, after revealing she was responsible for terrorizing the villagers, tries to force her into becoming a bloodbender herself against her will. She is one of Katara's archenemies.
She was voiced by Tress MacNeille, who also voiced Sarah Ravencroft in Scooby-Doo and the Witch's Ghost.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Evil?[]
- She invented the art of bloodbending, which is a method of torture as she practices this by twisting the bodies of people and forcing them to do things against their will.
- She uses bloodbending on a whole group of Fire Nation villagers and imprisons them in a cave with seemingly no access to food or water, intending for them to rot like she did.
- After having taught Katara other methods of waterbending, she reveals herself as the one who has been taking control of the villagers' movements at night the whole time and proceeds to try to have her become a bloodbender to carry on her legacy. When Katara refuses, Hama proceeds to bloodbend her sadistically.
- When Aang and Sokka arrive to stop her, she bloodbends them and forces them to fight Katara.
- She then attempted to kill Aang by bloodbending Sokka into trying to pierce him with his sword, finally forcing Katara to bloodbend her to save them.
- She expresses no concern over how Katara feels about becoming a bloodbender, even sadistically mocking her for this before being taken away to be arrested, leaving her to be traumatized over it.
- Due to inventing bloodbending, she and Azulon are indirectly responsible for Yakone's reign of terror over Republic City, as well as the Equalist revolution and Amon's attempt to get rid of bending all together.
- Despite Avatar's Heinous Standards, she stands out due to a fair lack of resources and for inventing the art of bloodbending herself.
What Prevents Her from Being Pure Evil?[]
- She has a genuine tragedy, having been taken from her home by the Fire Nation and had been practically tortured by being forced into conditions with no water for days, which would serve as a factor of her trying to get revenge. However, due to her willingness to hurt other victims of the Fire Nation, even her own kind, it is enough to shrink the sympathy enough for her to be Near Pure Evil.
- She cared for her fellow Southern Water Tribe members as shown by her retaining mementos from them so many years after her capture. A huge motivation for doing what she did was to avenge their deaths via the Fire Nation.
Trivia[]
- She is the only Near Pure Evil in the Avatar franchise to have a tragic past.
