History

Sister Iio prepared several children, including Avatar Aang, to bond with a group of young flying bison that arrived with their mother. She gave each of them an apple, telling them to choose a bison carefully because "a sky bison [was] a companion for life."^[1] She always knew best, but she was so unaffected and cheerful that no one really minded.

As with the rest of her people, Sister Iio was killed during the Air Nomad Genocide.
