Ty Laang

Ty Laang is the het ship between Aang and Ty Lee from the Avatar: The Last Airbender fandom.

Canon
Ty Lee and Aang never interact canonically. During the show, Ty Lee, Azula, and Mai were trying to capture Aang and faced each other on opposite teams on the battlefield but never interacted. Ty Lee and Mai rebelled from Azula, making her an enemy of the Fire Nation and technically on the same side of the war as Aang. Ty Lee and Aang never properly meet, though.

Ty Lee and Aang have multiple similarities. The first is the fact that they are both agile. Aang is swift as all airbenders are and Aang is a master airbender. Ty Lee is a skilled acrobat and was a member of a circus for a while. She also employs the use of chi-blocking in combat. Both have also run away from home at some point. Aang ran away after finding out that the monks were going to separate from Monk Gyatso and send him to the Eastern Air Temple. Ty Lee ran away from home because she was tired of being a part of a 'matched set' along with her six sisters and joined a circus.

Fanon
Ty Laang has a small amount of popularity in the Avatar fandom. Many consider it to be a crack pairing because Aang and Ty Lee are never seen interacting with the exception of facing each other on the battlefield. Fans believe that Aang and Ty Lee have similar personalities and would compliment each other well. Some fans have joked that Ty Lee is secretly an airbender while others believe that Ty Lee is the descendant of an Air Nomad due to her personality, eye color, and the style of her clothes.
