History Edit

In 6 BSC, Iio guided a group of young Air Nomad children through the tradition of choosing a flying bison. She met the group of youngsters, among which was Aang, and led them to an open area. She gave each of them an apple to lure a bison calf, and advised them to choose carefully when picking out their bison, as "a sky bison [was] a companion for life."^[1]
