I have read all the comments on this topic, so I have a clue of what everyone is thinking.
I don't really know about him being either 12 or 16. I can't help but be a little nervous with the age difference with Aang and Katara. Then I would hate for him to be sixteen, because that would so totally ruin the show.
So I think maybe if he was like thirteen I could see a good balance in both the whole Katara and Aang thing. Plus he would most likely keep his personality. But since this in reality Aang is 12 and Katara 14. If they were to get together they should probably wait.
Not to mention I just can't really see them together. To me he's interested and she is more like a mother figure or something. But that's just me

Well of course, that's why he has daydreams about kissing her, asks her to dance and sweeps her off her feet. Gets nervous about kissing her in a dark cave....wow, I never realized how much he looks up to Katara as a mother before now [/sarcasm] As for Katara, she's shown no interest in him at all, well except here.... and here... and here... then there's here.... How about here? I suppose this is motherly affection? Glad my mother never looked at me like this...

I think he meant that Katara acts like a mother and only thinks of Aang as a 'son'. I agree. I know lots of mothers who look at their children like this. Edit: Nice Psylum. We tend to think alike. xD

hmmmm, i would be scared if my mother looked at me like that.
It would be all messed up if he was 16 though. My parents are 4 years apart, and they are so happy! So why cant a 12 year old be with a 14 year old?

@jennypoo: I don't think it's age difference in Aang and Katara that's the issue, it's the fact that in our world, the average twelve year old is not ready for a girl/boyfriend. But seeing as Aang is no ordinary twelve year old boy, he's definetly an exception. Plus, in the avatar world it's normal for girls to marry at sixteen, so I believe the standard relationship age would be a bit younger there than it is here.

My Fanfic is actually based on the idea that Aang was going to be told he was the Avatar when he was 16. I think that this notion should be expanded.
But I think for a 12-year-old, he's quite mature.

@kataangirl: Good point. But thats what i was getting at, kind of. Aang is really mature and he acts a lot older, mostly because of his destiny, and responsibilities he has. Age doesnt mean anything to me in the eyes of love anyway. So once again, i say, no aang is fine as a 12 year old, and he shouldnt be 16.

That was the formal deceleration of engagement in a society where marriage is a business transaction and thus arranged. No prior relationship is required, and for the most part none seems to exist. This is evidenced by the engagements of both Yue and Kanna.
For the most part we know nothing of most societies in the Avatar universe, only a few things about the ones that comprise the smallest populations by numbers and percentage. The Fire Nation and Earth Kingdom have, by far, the most people and we don't know much about them.
((It's The Waterbending Master, not Siege of the North.))
