| "I promised the nuns that I'd watch over you until you were ready to be on your own. It's never a good idea to break a promise to a nun!" |
| — Boma to Yangchen while on route for her first Avatar mission.[1] |
Boma was Avatar Yangchen's chaperone on her journey to a city that was being plagued by the spirit of General Old Iron.[1]
History
When Yangchen was summoned toward a city on the shoreline of the Earth Kingdom a week after she mastered all four elements, Boma accompanied her there, despite Yangchen's protests that she would be fine on her own. He had refuted those claims, stating that he had promised the Air Nomad nuns that he would look after her until she was ready to be on her own and that it was never a good idea to break a promise to a nun. During the Avatar's audience with the king, Boma was present as well, taking care of Yangchen's two winged lemurs, Pik and Pak, whom he comforted after they were scared by the local fortunetellers.
Believing the prophecy that something bad was to befall the city from the sea, Boma accompanied Yangchen on her stakeout on a cliff overlooking the water. When General Old Iron appeared and knocked Yangchen down, he helped her up and urged her to stop the rampaging spirit while he evacuated all the citizens to a nearby clearing.[1]
Boma stood alongside Yangchen as she finished a memorial to Lady Tienhai, fulfilling her deal with Old Iron to keep the townspeople safe.[2]
