Even though Sokka finds himself victim to embarrassment, he has the capability to apologize and seek resolution to avoid preceding moments of embarrassment from recurring. He tends to be rash, and his arrogance often leads to embarrassment, as during a haiku contest when, in his last verse of his song, he included too many syllables. He holds little interest in the mysticism of bending and prefers to rely on his strength and wits. Despite his flaws, he is loving, brotherly, and protective. However, he is often clumsy and sometimes mistaken. He is intelligent, resourceful and at times he even proves to be quite scholarly. Incapable of bending abilities himself, Sokka instead pursues martial arts, sciences, and engineering. Personality Īccording to his sister Katara, Sokka was initially skeptical, abrasive, sexist and immature but was always sharp-witted. The character for Kǎ also appears in Katara's name. In " Tales of Ba Sing Se", Sokka's name was written as 索卡, whereof Sǔo (索) means to search, demand, ask, exact, or isolated and Kǎ (卡) means to check, block, or card. Sokka also has a tendency to produce or at times laugh at jokes shared by no other character. Among various running gags involving Sokka are his immersion in viscous substances, such as raw sewage, slurry, phlegm, or saliva and forgetting that Toph is blind. Īs a result of his design, Sokka's character is a source of comic relief throughout the series, often a victim of visual comedy. In the Avatar Nick Mag Presents: First Edition issue by co-creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, stated that Sokka was originally designed as a minor figure but when his comedian voice actor Jack DeSena brought liveliness to his character, they began to emphasize this quality. Being a non-bender, Sokka uses different weapons such as his boomerang and machete and eventually a jian sword to combat enemies. Unlike his companions, Sokka is a non-bender, but as the show progresses he masters swordplay and proves himself to be a worthy and intelligent strategist. He, along with his younger sister Katara, discovers an Airbender named Aang, the long-lost Avatar, and accompanies him to defeat the imperialistic Fire Nation and bring peace to the war-torn nations. In the original series, fifteen-year-old Sokka is a warrior of the Southern Water Tribe, a nation where some people are able to telekinetically manipulate, or "bend", water. In the live-action film adaptation, he is portrayed by Jackson Rathbone, while in the forthcoming live-action television series adaptation, he will be portrayed by Ian Ousley. He is a warrior of the Water Tribe and the son of Chief Hakoda and Kya. The character, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, is voiced by Jack DeSena in the original series and by Chris Hardwick in the sequel series. Sokka is a fictional character in Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender and its sequel series The Legend of Korra.
