Thanks for starting!

Suki's one of my favorite characters I think (despite how little we see her) so I'm excited to see her in live action.

**pink velvet** · 12-23-2021, 06:29 AM

Saaaame! She made such an IMPACT even though she didn't have as big a role as the others. She's just so powerful

This is sweet

**gold-steps** · 12-23-2021, 07:47 PM

Yeah agreed! The few episodes she's in she makes quite an impact and she gets a good amount of depth imo.

Aw that's so cute! Suki and her mom and honorary sister! The make up is too cute

It's also cute it sounds like she's read the comics.

**pink velvet** · 12-24-2021, 05:57 AM

I agree

Her background and where she grew up just leads to such a cool character.

She's a full fan (pun?

) like everyone else

I'm so excited for her!

**gold-steps** · 12-24-2021, 06:51 PM

Yeah I think it'd be really cool if we saw more of Kyoshi Island and learned more about the warriors too! It's just so interesting.

Very good pun

I'm excited for her too! It's got to be exciting to be a part of something you're a fan of yourself.

Absolutely

Thank you

It must feel like such a dream

moments of 2021:
1. first day! excited, terrified, grateful - the beginning.
2. endless days and nights in my little corner of creation. inspired, aching to connect, exhausted, living in anticipation, the wait, the loneliness, and the pure joy of when you learn it wasn’t all for nothing.
3. moments between the shots, just you and me.
4. graduating!
5. getting older.
6. crying to Bon Iver’s 715 - CR∑∑KS for the 58264th time.
7. 那帮人, nine years with these humans I love very much.
8. first little home of my own.
9. one of many sunsets with my love.
10. “you are here awake and alive.”

Aw she looks so cute in that picture from set! And happy!

**pink velvet** · 01-05-2022, 01:32 PM

She really does! Her smile is so pretty

And it's great to see Suki's name

**gold-steps** · 01-05-2022, 07:15 PM

It is! And yeah it's awesome to see Suki's name. It must have been really exciting for her to see too!

**pink velvet** · 01-06-2022, 08:18 AM

I'm so curious to look inside

Though her make-up and wardrobe might be somewhere else.

**gold-steps** · 01-06-2022, 09:44 PM

I'd like to know too

And yeah I think hair and wardrobe are usually somewhere else and the trailers are just for the cast to hang out I think? But I'm not super familiar with all that so maybe

**pink velvet** · 02-17-2022, 05:56 AM

I think that tends to be the case

At least that's how they seem whenever they're shown on tv shows or movies

Her turn

**gold-steps** · 02-17-2022, 09:01 PM

I think that would make sense!

Wait aw I hadn't seen the Suki funko pop before and it's super cute! It's cute she's got one of her character now too.

**pink velvet** · 02-18-2022, 06:36 AM

She is definitely a character that deserves one

I like that Maria gave her Funko Pop a whole photoshoot
