Even with minimal training, he was able to manipulate boulders and prevent debris from crushing a man. Haru exerted a cool control over the earth when he used his bending abilities. He later reunited with them during Zuko's coronation after the Hundred Year War ended, finally together with his father once again. He fled along with Hakoda and his friends while Aang's group flew off on Appa. Haru stuck with Aang's group until Azula and her air fleet attacked the temple. While staying at the temple, Haru took part in numerous activities with the team, including spectating a "swordbending" match, practicing his bending, and joining Sokka's "Bendless Boomerang Club" after he decided to open it up to the whole team. They found it to be the perfect place to hang out and for Haru to practice some earthbending. Haru befriended both Teo and The Duke after the invasion, and upon arrival at the Western Air Temple, he and his two friends began to explore the temple. The young people, namely Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, Teo, The Duke, and Haru escaped on Appa and travelled to the Western Air Temple. Haru promised Tyro that they would return to rescue them. When the submarines were destroyed, the warriors decided to surrender. Haru and his father were part of the ground forces attacking the Fire Nation capital. Haru, now sporting a mustache and a goatee, was one of many familiar but noticeably distinct faces recruited by Sokka to help in the invasion of the Fire Nation on the Day of Black Sun. Haru and Tyro took an active role in the invasion of the Fire Nation.
įollowing their escape, Haru and his father helped to liberate their village from Fire Nation control as a part of the Earth Kingdom rebellions. Reunited with his father and reinforced by fellow earthbenders, Haru had a chance to drive the Fire Nation away from his home. There, she and Haru helped stir up a mass prison rebellion and escape. Īang and Sokka helped engineer Katara's false arrest for earthbending so she would be taken to the shipyard. Haru aided him through earthbending, but the old man betrayed him to the Fire Nation soldiers and the young earthbender was taken into custody. Later, when Haru and Katara struck up a kinship over shared experiences, they came upon a villager trapped under a rock slide. Imprisonedĭuring late fall of 99 AG, as Haru was practicing alone, Avatar Aang and his friends stumbled upon him. To ensure his safety, Haru was forbidden from earthbending by his mother, although he continued to practice in secret, as a way to feel close to his father. When the Fire Nation invaded Haru's village in 94 AG, Haru witnessed his father and the other earthbenders fight back, despite being outnumbered, and ultimately taken away, leaving him alone with his mother.
Haru was born to Tyro and his wife and was taught earthbending by his father.
Although Haru was a talented earthbender, the development of his skills was halted due to the suppressive, Fire Nation-controlled environment in which he lived.
