Easily the most overlooked character, with a great arc. We see him go from a goofy yet eager boy, into a competent and creative man.

Sokka was awesome, he was just overshadowed by all the bending. Plus comic relief.

That's why I love the times when you can feel the weight of his character in rare episodes where he isn't treated as comic relief. They introduce us to the hidden depth of his character in the pilot episode when he solemnly puts on his warpaint, knowing he's likely not going to survive. He is immediately dispatched in hilarious fashion, of course, but he didn't hesitate to sacrifice himself for his tribe.
