This article is about Kyoshi from the Netflix series. For the original character, see Kyoshi (Avatar).

You want things to be easy? None of this will be easy. Avoid your duties any longer, and not only will you fail to save the world, you won't even be able to save this island.[...]You wanted to know about the power of the Avatar. I will show you what that power can do.
― Kyoshi

Kyoshi is one of the overarching characters of the 2024 Netflix adventure fantasy series Avatar: The Last Airbender, based on the Nickelodeon 2005-2008 animated series of the same name. She is an Earth Kingdom-born Avatar of the Past succeeding Kuruk and preceding Roku as part of the Avatar Cycle.

Background[]

Kyoshi was born to con artists, Jesa and Hark; who abandoned her at birth. Kyoshi lived on the streets until she was hired to serve one of the richest families on Kyoshi Island. She was known for being a quiet, kind, and caring person. No one knew she would become the Avatar. However, as she got older, Kyoshi became more reserved and distant from others.

Kyoshi became one of the greatest warriors that the world had ever known. She trained a group of young female warriors who carried on Kyoshi's teachings of discipline and care.

Quotes[]

Kyoshi: "Aang! It's about time."
Aang: "Uh, I'm sorry. I didn't know how to reach you. I didn't know I could reach you."
Kyoshi: "There's a lot you don't know."
―Aang and Kyoshi
And how many have already been hurt because you haven't been here? Run away from your responsibilities again, and even more will be hurt! Being the Avatar means putting your duties above all else. Even your life! I was like you once. But then I saw what was at stake, and I will show you what will happen if you fail. Tragedy awaits the North, and unless you do something about it, another race of benders will be wiped out just as the Air Nomads were. You asked me what it means to be the Avatar. It means being a warrior. A mighty, merciless warrior.
―Kyoshi lectures on what it takes to be the Avatar to Aang.
Kyoshi: "There are many dimensions to being the Avatar. You need to be a guardian, a general, a mediator, and a guide. You must fill several roles, and many of them require unparalleled strength."
Aang: " That's why I need to master all the bending disciplines? To become strong?"
Kyoshi: "Yes. And to help you gain control over the ultimate power. The Avatar State is the combination of all your past lives, focusing their energy through you. The Avatar State gives you the strength of a thousand benders."
Aang: " I've seen it. It's dangerous."
Kyoshi: "If uncontrolled, yes, but it can also be the ultimate weapon, and it can save your life."
―Aang and Kyoshi discussing the Avatar State
