Princess Yue was royalty within the Northern Water Tribe, having developed feelings for Sokka when both he, his sister Katara, and Aang the Avatar arrived on their doorstep in order to foil the plans of the Fire Nation in their bid to overtake the world. Unfortunately, when the Fire Nation attacked, Yue underwent a transformation that literally had her becoming the moon and thus could no longer continue a relationship with Sokka, among other things. In the series, Zuko has the perfect response following Sokka opening up and informing the Fire Nation prince that his ex-girlfriend had been transformed into the moon, with the anti-hero responding “that’s rough, buddy.”
Giancarlo Volpe, the director for Last Airbender, shared this hilarious tweet in response to a fan who said that one of their friends had chosen Princess Yue as their favorite character, making a tragic decision considering her ultimate fate in the series of Avatar The Last Airbender:
