Sokka has taken his responsibility as protector incredibly seriously. Tavi often describes him as "meat-loving" and "sarcastic", and often a point of comic relief. He tended to be rash, however, and his pride often led to embarrassment. Whenever Sokka has been humiliated, his versatility made for a heartfelt apology and changing of his ways. Sokka learned to be flexible very early on. He may have been closed-minded at first, but that was because he wanted to protect himself and those he loved. Despite his obvious cleverness, Sokka sometimes acts silly, if not outright stupid.
