When Xing Ying first met Aang, the Avatar expressed his appreciation of the Official Avatar Aang Fan Club's dedication to the Air Nomad culture, pointing out that even the clothes they wore were just like what the Air Nomads from the Western Air Temple used to wear. She assured Aang that they devoted many hours to the study of the Air Nomad philosophy. When she revealed to Aang the tattoos that the members possessed were real, however, Aang felt that his culture was being treated like a game. Although she tried to explain herself, a frustrated Aang stormed out of the room before she could say anything.
