Summary
Katara begged and bled to win a warrior’s status from a world that knew her place in the shadow of great men, as tolerant and accepting as bathwater, welcoming and warm, and never, ever as fearful as the wild water that could bring men trembling to their knees. Her anger and her rage and the deep bitter well of her hatred made Aang uncomfortable—but that moment and support from an unlikely ally makes her realize that not even for the Avatar does she have to swallow herself down. She was a whole sea, waiting to discover herself.
Begins during The Southern Raiders and follows her through wandering years in the Fire Nation and its colonies, posing as the Painted Lady once again as she does her part to heal the world by cutting out the rotting flesh.
Featuring Fire Lord Iroh looking on with fond amusement as Crown Prince Zuko insists on going in person to receive the surrender of another foolhardy general who refused to acknowledge the succession and took the peace as an opportunity. If you counted all the warchests that Katara had seized, and returned the excess after distributing supplies as disaster relief, the ‘husband price’ for his adopted son was quite rich indeed. He should see about granting her a title.
