One thing I really LOVE about Katara is that she’s a woman who really OWNS her anger.
Like, girls are taught to never get angry. Never be rude. Don’t yell. It makes you unlikable. It’s not lady-like.
And Katara just says fuck you to that. She’s sweet, and mothering, and caring, and nurturing almost all the time. But when she’s angry? She’s ANGRY. And she OWNS it.
She yells at people, she threatens people. Sometimes she’s vain and jealous on top of it all too, and she owns up to that. It takes a special kind of courage and strength to look someone in the eye and honest to god YELL at them.
Especially the fight above. Paku is an elder, a man in charge. He’s in a privileged position of power over her. And Katara doesn’t take that shit anyway.
God damn A+ Female empowerment right there.
OMG
yes!
Katara is a nurturing fighter
THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER
And even if at the end of the day, everything does not go as planned, she’s able to move past the anger even if she still feels something is wrong or unjust. Because she can’t right every wrong, and every human can’t always do the right thing. I love that they gave her those flaws, but doesn’t let it consume the character, if that makes sense. Like in ONE OF THE BEST EPISODES EVER, The Southern Raiders, she could never forgive the mother fucker that killed her mother, never, and she knows that. Even when she knew how sad and pathetic he grew to be, she couldn’t make that forgive him. But still, she stepped away from her anger because she didn’t want to be that person.
