Sister Iio was an Air Nun and the Mother Superior of the Eastern Air Temple during Avatar Aang's childhood. She was content and cheerful, and her opinions were respected by those in her care.

History

Before the start of the Hundred Year War, Iio guided a group of young Air Nomad children, including Aang, through the tradition of choosing a flying bison. Leading them to an open area, she gave each of the children an apple to lure a bison calf and advised them to choose carefully when picking out their bison, stating that "a sky bison [was] a companion for life."

Abilities

Airbending

Iio's arrow tattoos marked her as an airbending master. While her fighting skill is unknown, she was known to be good at playing airball, which requires considerable speed, balance, and accuracy.

Other skills

Iio was good with animals, peacefully luring bison calves through food.
