One of Avatar: The Last Airbender's most touching relationships is also surprisingly one of its shortest. The show’s first season sees Aang, Katara, and Sokka traveling north towards the home of the Northern Water Tribe, where they come to meet Princess Yue. The bond that forms between Sokka and Yue, and the relationship’s heartbreaking end, perfectly exemplifies the core tenets of the Water people and contains an important lesson for us all about dealing with the ebbs and flows of life. So let’s take a closer look at Sokka and Yue and why their relationship was so important to the story!

Yue is a criminally under appreciated character. There are people who chalk her up to not being able to fight makes her a weak character, when in reality they are forgetting that she is the epitome of how the Tribe's backwards rules against women are hurting them. And how going forward, this treatment of them would thankfully never be a problem again. Her and Sokka not being able to be together is wrong and unfair but that is the point. Her bravery in the Siege of the North is almost unmatched by anyone else. She didn't even hesitate to protect everyone by sacrificing her own life to save the Moon Spirit. Not only did she save her people, she saved all of water bending as a whole. It's a sacrifice that touched me as a child and now that I'm older, it touches me even more.

I always think about how Sokka is technically the “Prince” of the Southern Water Tribe. He probably could have challenged for Yue’s hand in marriage if he wanted. It would’ve been a great political move too. Anyway this is my favorite romance in Avatar overall. There’s something so poetic, beautiful and sad about it. Also, since Yue is the daughter of the Northern Water Tribe chief, wouldn’t that also mean she’s related to Korra? Crazy.

Sokka and Yue are so compelling because it's a classic chivalric romance. Their love makes them better, but their love is a desire that could never be fulfilled. Yue is engaged to someone else, but her relationship with Sokka isn't seen as wrong. It's also a love triangle we don't at first notice. Yue loves her people more than Sokka, and that love is what allows her to ascend to become what is basically a goddess, another aspect of the chivalric romance: love is a form of enlightenment.
