I got you OP:

Pik and Pak - lemurs!

Bin-Er:

Zongdu Henshe - the Zongdu (temporary elected leader) of Bin-Er, and also the man trying to get his hands on Unanimity

Qiu - the not very competent broker who used to work with Kavik

Mama Ayunerak - the elderly water tribe woman who runs a shelter and a soup kitchen in Bin-Er

Sidao - the stuffy earth sage who officially is supposed to advise Avatar Yangchen (he's a spy for the Shangs though)

Shangs: honestly you don't really need to know all their names, just that the shangs are rich nepo-baby merchants

Jonduri:

Tayagum - water tribe man, spy/companion of Yangchen, he sailed the boat that picked up Kavik from the drop off point

Akuudan - Tayagum's husband, has one arm, runs an inn/secret safehouse, is a spy/companion of Yangchen

Chaisee - the Zongdu of Jonduri, and the mastermind behind Unanimity

Jujinta - works for The Association, throws knives, foul temper, is assigned to be Kavik's partner

Pang - works for the association, leads the raid on the docks

Tael - one of the higher ups in the association, but not the boss-boss

World Leaders:

Oyaluk - high chieftain of the northern water tribe

Gonryu - Firelord

Feishan - the earth king

General Nong - general who tried to overthrow Feishan

Character Cheat Sheet - Legacy of Yangchen

Northern Air Temple

Abbot Sonam - elderly monk, leader of the Northern Air Temple

Mingyur - young monk in charge of guarding Unanimity, nearly died when Thapa attacked.

Yangchen's team/allies

Nujian - her flying bison

Pik and Pak - the flying lemurs

Tayagum and Akuudan - still water tribe husbands, still very loyal companions of Yangchen. Akuudan has only one arm, Tayagum has more suspicions of Kavik.

Jujinta - newly converted loyal follower of Yangchen, carries so many knives.

Boma - airbender monk, companion of Yangchen

White Lotus:

Mama Ayunerak - high ranking member of the white lotus; teaches Kavik for a while; petty old woman tbh

Do - lower ranking fire bender

People in Taku:

Zongdu Chaisee - mastermind of Unanimity

Kalyaan - Kavik's asshole older brother

Tael - violent man in Chaisee's association

Zongdu Iwashi - rich leader of Taku, he likes to gamble, and he doesn't play fair

Zongdu Ashoona - old man leader of Port Tuugaq, honestly unimportant to the plot, just let him retire

Unanimity:

Thapa - the greedy one who betrays the others

Yingsu - the woman, who ends up cooperating with Yangchen

Xioayun - the one who's killed really early on

Other:

Oyaluk - head of water tribe

Gonru - head of fire nation

Feishan - head of earth kingdom and also, hyper-paranoid man who does his own spying

Mesose - someone important to one of Yangchen's past lives.

Master Lio - Kavik's fake name

Reitei - little boy who survived unanimity experiments, sorta kinda a combustion bender

Hsien - little girl who survived unanimity experiments, probably the first chi blocker

Mistress Guaba - the maid at the avatar's mansion; she's not particularly important, she just amuses me.

I think those are all the recurring characters. I tried to keep spoilers to a minimum. Hope this helps!

I’m struggling to read yangchen because of the amount of names being thrown at me 😓

#there are more characters than I remember in these books #I'm glad I made this because I did not know how to spell some of these minor characters names before checking the wiki #the one downside to reading the audiobooks lol #yangchen novels #avatar novels #chronicles of the avatar #the dawn of yangchen #the legacy of yangchen

Do you sometimes write something so good, you're reading your own WIP and go "what's next? i want more!"

And you're the bitch that has to write more.

Only read, no writeeeeeee

[junipernight]

I don’t know which author needs to hear this right now but even if you never update your wip i would never regret reading it a time of joy is never wasted

This reminds me, there's a book that is essentially published Jane Austen fanfic, called The Murder of Mr. Wickham

and

It is very good. Wicked good, I recommend it with my whole heart.

One of the two main protagonists, the eldest Darcy child, is autistic. Not that the author can use the word autistic in a book set in the 1820's or so, but it's very clear and intentional.

If you love Jane Austen and you read Mr. Darcy as autistic, you will probably like this book.

Mr Darcy is so fucking unsubtle all of the time I truly don't understand how Elizabeth doesn't get it. Someone mentions Elizabeth likes books? Darcy immediately goes into a rant about how he wants a wife that reads. Elizabeth says she wants to live close to her family? Darcy is bending over backwards to figure out how far is too far, would she mind it if she could easily travel back at forth, would she miss the people or the places. My girl he's so down bad, he's just autistic.

Yangchen thought of the day is how she spends all two of her books toying with the idea of giving up. The ENTIRE time we know her she’s like a few inches from throwing in the towel completely. It comes after she fails or before a crisis or during one but each time she inevitably chooses to keep trying despite how much the world beats down on her and how large the risks are and how much it tortures her to try . Her position as avatar is a curse but gosh darn if she doesn’t bear it!

So today I got a rather unkind comment on AO3 (one could call it hate), but I believe it to be a bot for several reasons:

Guest account, but username attached

Said username exists but person is unlikely to be reading Tolkien fic (according to their Tumblr and AO3, they are in other fandoms)

Two grammatically correct sentences

Super generic text that could apply to any fic:

"I've seen better fanfiction written by a toddler. Get it together!"

I'm curious, did anyone else get comments like this? Let me know.

And to those who have gotten rude comments and are now worried/upset: Maybe it was just a bot too. Either way: You're awesome for putting your writing out there for others to enjoy and you don't deserve to get rude comments for it. If you want feel free to message me to compare cases and discuss details :)

I don't think the book ever says outright... which would imply they're about the same height, especially given how often they stare into each other's eyes lol.

Personally though, I like to imagine Yangchen as being slightly taller. It just feels right, to me, for an airbender (and the avatar) to be taller, and for a wrestler/grappler to be shorter.

wait omg who’s taller, yangchen or kavik? are there any pages saying who’s taller or shorter?

#Midway through writing this post I remembered I now have access to a searchable ebook copy of the second book #and i searched some likely words that might answer the question #Nada #unless you count the time she wrapped her arm around his neck and pulled him into a headlock #that is mildly easier to do if you're taller than you're target #yangchen #kavik #yangvik #avatar #avatar novels #chronicles of the avatar

The Air Temples had an expression regarding outside visitors who were shocked and disappointed by the incredible volume of chores the monks and nuns had to busy themselves with to support a few hours per day of meditation and study. Weak eyelids. Enlightenment was a muscle, and the world was too heavy for most.
