The Legend of Korra [edit]
Book One: Air [edit]
In the sequel series The Legend of Korra, Katara, now eighty-5, is ane of the three surviving members of the original Team Avatar, along with Zuko and Toph. She is a loftier-ranking member of the White Lotus and took it upon herself to train Korra in waterbending, becoming the latest in a line of masters to serve as a teacher to multiple Avatars. Katara and Aang are also revealed to have had three children: the non-bender Bumi (who later acquired the ability to airbend), the waterbender Kya, and the airbender Tenzin.

Book Four: Remainder [edit]
In the fourth season episode "Korra Alone", Katara aids Korra in healing her body afterwards being poisoned by Zaheer at the cease of the third flavor, enabling her to walk again after being a wheelchair user for over six months.
Abilities [edit]
Katara's abilities develop considerably throughout the serial. At the beginning, she has little control over her waterbending, and often loses control in moments of frustration or anger. Thanks to diligent practice, an instruction scroll, and tutelage under a Primary, her skill improves until she is bestowed with the condition and title of "Waterbending Yang-style Main". She was chosen by Korra as her instructor in the Southern Tribe Yang-style martial arts, bending arts and the healing arts.[23]
Waterbending [edit]
Katara is highly skilled in Waterbending which utilizes Chinese martial arts techniques of "internal mode" T'ai chi ch'uan and Jeet Kune Do; Katara is the only surviving Chief of "Southern Tribe Yang-style" later on the 100 year genocide.[24] [25] [26] [27] The series' creators consulted a professional martial artist in the design of the evidence'southward fighting mode.[28] Waterbending represents the element of alter – a shapeshifter constantly changing forms[29] – and is categorized as the most adaptive or pliable of the "four bending arts". Waterbending emphasizes "softness and breathing" over "hard aggression"; fluid and graceful, acting in concert with the environment; creating opportunities where none exist; this "period of energy" allows their defensive maneuvers to translate into focus on control and counter-offenses, turning their opponents' momentum against them. Despite these advantages, Waterbending is almost entirely dependent on inertia; information technology is essential for practitioners to non be rigid, simply to be fluid and able to adapt to any situation.
"Solid, liquid, gas – H2o is the element of change. Water is patient and waits. Wears downward the cliff tops, the mountains. There is nothing softer and weaker than water, and yet at that place is nothing amend for attacking hard and strong things."
—General Iroh (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
Katara has demonstrated to be a formidable opponent to her enemies, able to fight on equal terms with Azula and Long Feng; she eventually outmatched the Burn down Nation princess to demonstrate the extent of her skill. Katara can use water to cut through objects; summon lashing waves and whips of varying sizes; cover herself with a sheath of h2o; surf on a length of ice; run and stand on the surface of h2o; melt and control existing ice; form ice into various shapes; freeze water and objects surrounded by h2o with fiddling effort; create walls of mist and steam; transform steam into ice; evaporate large amounts of water; or derive a weapon from any moisture including her own perspiration.[xxx] She tin control huge amounts of water at a fourth dimension, forming huge waves and bubbles of water. On one instance, Katara knocked downwardly the unabridged Dai Li, Zuko, and Azula while riding atop a giant wave. Equally with all Waterbenders, Katara's powers increment nether the influence of a full moon.
Katara demonstrates the ability to levitate and control water-based liquids, too as pure water, in the episode "The Southern Raiders", wherein Katara bends ink onto a map. She is also seen bending soup (which allows her to cook meals), and bends perfume while battling a aroma-dependent monster. In the episode "The Painted Lady," she uses her bending to create a thick fog. Katara also demonstrates the ability to bend sweat and the ability to manipulate mud with Toph, who manipulates the clay while Katara controls the water.
Healing abilities [edit]
Katara is one of the few waterbenders born with the sub-power of healing injuries or wounds, first demonstrated after she is burned by Aang'southward first attempt at firebending.[31] She strengthens this power under the tutelage of the Northern Water Tribe'south healer Yagoda. She uses it thereafter to relieve sickness;[nineteen] overcome brainwashing;[32] and heal wounds such as burns and bleeding injuries.[33] Nevertheless, she cannot cure all sicknesses, mend brain harm, or heal internal injuries and birth defects.[32] Using special water she obtained from the Northern Water Tribe'due south Spirit Shrine, she was able to heal a fatal wound Azula inflicted upon Aang, thus reviving him from death. She speculated that she would be able to use that same water to heal the scar on Zuko'southward face, merely was interrupted earlier she could practise then. By the time of The Legend of Korra, Lin Beifong (Toph'southward metalbender girl) claims that she is the best healer in the earth.[34]
Scene where Katara learns bloodbending from Hama.
Bloodbending [edit]
Katara has another waterbending technique known as "bloodbending". She start used this technique in the 8th episode of Book Three.[35] This ability consists in manipulating the water within a animal's body, leaving the target unable to move or resist in any way. In one case she has taken control, she can make it move in any mode she desires. She is only able to bloodbend during a full moon, when her waterbending power is at its peak. Katara was forced to learn bloodbending by Hama, an elderly Water Tribe adult female who originally developed the technique and who wanted Katara to acquire information technology for it to be passed on to others. However, Katara abhors this technique and has only used it twice in times of groovy stress. In later years, she worked to make the practice a criminal offense.
Appearances in other media [edit]

Similar Aang, Katara likewise appeared in Tokyopop's films comic (sometimes referred to as cine-manga).[39]
Nicola Peltz portrayed Katara in the 2010 picture show adaptation of the series, The Last Airbender directed by One thousand. Night Shyamalan.[40] The film was universally panned by critics and audiences. Many reviewers cited inconsistencies inside the plot and between the screenplay and the source fabric, likewise equally the acting, characterization, writing and casting and has been considered to be i of the worst adaptations ever made. [41] Katara appears in the RE:Anime fan film Avatar: The Last Airbender – Agni Kai, portrayed by Yasmine Kassim, partially adapting the events of "Sozin'southward Comet" with the difference of Katara accidentally killing Azula, equally explained to Korra by an older Katara.[42] [43]
