In “Spirited Away,” the fifth episode of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation, Aang encountered Koh the Face Stealer. Unlike in the cartoon, Koh had captured Katara and Sokka, so rather than simply escaping Koh’s lair, Aang needed to find a way to appease the malicious spirit. In the following episode, “Masks,” Aang went to Avatar Roku’s shrine in the Fire Nation to ask for his advice, as he had bested Koh once before. Roku gave Aang a small, wooden totem that resembled a horned woman with many faces, advising him to offer it to Koh in exchange for freeing his friends. This totem was a depiction of Koh’s mother, the Mother of Faces, that Roku had stolen from Koh long ago.The Mother of Faces did not appear in the Avatar cartoon, but she was not an original creation of Netflix’s series, either. She debuted in The Search, a trilogy of canon graphic novels that took place after the series finale. The Search answered the greatest unsolved mystery from the cartoon: the fate of Zuko and Azula’s mother, Ursa, whom Fire Lord Ozai had banished before the events of the show. The Mother of Faces played a pivotal part in this story, and her appearance in Netflix’s adaptation may have foreshadowed the future of the series in more ways than one.Deep in the valley, they found the Mother of Faces, an enormous, treelike spirit surrounded by floating, glowing masks. As Roku explained in the live-action series, the Mother of Faces created visages for all living creatures, thus bringing identity and individuality into the world. In Part 3 of The Search, the Mother of Faces said that Koh had been “estranged from [her] since time began,” although she did not state a reason why. Koh stole faces because they reminded him of his mother. Once per season, the Mother of Faces was willing to grant a single favor to a human. Zuko planned to leave this favor to Rafa, a man from the Northern Water Tribe who had lost his face to Koh, but Azula selfishly used it to instead question the spirit about Ursa’s fate.
