An Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplayer went viral online after showing off her mind-blowing transformation into Suki. Fans of the Nickelodeon animation were stunned by how much she looks like the Kyoshi Warrior.

Despite making its debut in 2005, The Last Airbender had a major revival in popularity in 2020 due to Netflix adding it to its service. Viewers fell in love with its story about a monk who can control the elements of water, earth, fire, and air.

To celebrate the hit Nickelodeon series, a talented cosplayer shared her true-to-life take on beloved character Suki. The artist’s perfect depiction of the heroine has some fans calling it the “best Avatar cosplay” of all time.
