Description
Appa appears to have been born and raised at the Eastern Air Temple where Aang chose him as a animal guide. They appeared to have grown up happily together and when Aang was to be sent to the Northern Air Temple, both he and Aang fled only to get caught in a storm where they fell into the sea, Aang's Avatar State then activated and he used his power to encase himself and Appa in a giant ball of ice which remained settled at the ocean floor for 100 years after which he was awakened with Aang by Katara and Sokka.
Appa's appearance is that of a shaggy white bison with six legs and a long flat tail (similar to a platapus), he also has grey fur which follows his spine from his tail to end with an arrow shape on his forehead, this could be the origin of the designs of the Air Nomads tatoo's.
Relationships
Appa is spiritually connected with Aang and through meditation that link can be used to track each other if they are seperated. Appa also seems to have a close friendship with Momo as they spend so much time together. His relationship with Katara, Sokka and Toph seems to be friendly as he allows them to ride him and feed him although Toph doesn't like fying.
Battle
In battle, Appa is usually used as an aerial assault, at the Northern Air Temple, Appa helped by carrying ammuntion for the team of mechanists that inhabited the temple. In The Day of Black Sun, Appa was given armour for battle against the Fire Nation, he was able to carry Katara, Hakoda and Sokka through the battle to take out some of the enemies battlements.
