The artist looks so much like Azula\u2019s squad member, that it\u2019s almost as if she\u2019s cut her way out of the screen and into real life. The Last Airbender first aired on Nickelodeon in 2005. Viewers around the world fell in love with its story about a child monk who, as the Avatar, can control the elements of water, earth, fire, and air. The series has seen an explosion in popularity in 2020, after Netflix added it to its service back in April. To celebrate, a cosplayer shared a transformation into Fire Nation character Mai that will leave fans stunned. Avatar cosplayer brings Mai to life In Book Two, viewers are introduced to Mai, who becomes a pivotal character when series villain Azula recruits her as a part of her squad. The fierce warrior helps the Fire Nation princess hunt down Avatar Aang and his group. Cosplayer Riona \u2018rionafae\u2019 went viral on Instagram after sharing a jaw-dropping take on the character. The talented artist faithfully portrayed her signature black braided hair, including the parted bangs that frame her face. Riona posed next to a screenshot of Mai, highlighting just how faithful the cosplay is. Her insanely accurate depiction even mirrors the non-bender\u2019s facial expression, and perfectly captures her eyebrows and golden eyes. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CFM89tgjT5R\/ In another shot, the cosplayer gave viewers a closer look at how much detail went into pulling off Azula\u2019s squadmate. Rionafae re-created her Fire Nation attire, which consists of a long sleeved red dress and a black robe that sits over it. Just like the first photo, she meticulously mirrors the character\u2019s pose from the show. This is without a doubt one of the best Avatar cosplays we\u2019ve ever seen, and could easily be mistaken for an official live-action version of Mai. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CEhphu-jekW\/ Despite ending in 2008, Avatar saw a major revival in 2020 after Netflix added to its popular platform. The Nickelodeon series also celebrated its 15th anniversary in February. Those wanting to see what all the hype is about can watch the show in its entirety on the streaming service now. They also added its sequel spin-off The Legend of Korra.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplayer stuns with real life Mai take Nickelodeon \/ Instagram: @rionafae[jwplayer MDxzN19r]An Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplayer went viral after she shared a perfect portrayal of Fire Nation character Mai.
