As a child, I always saw myself in Katara from "Avatar: The Last Airbender." She was stubborn, loudmouthed, questioned authority, and had an overbearing, sexist brother who pushed her buttons. Oh yeah — she was also a badass water-bender who can manipulate water with her hands and mind.
Katara is one of the central characters in the Nickelodeon cartoon show that first aired in 2005. Netflix's new adaption tells the adventurous tale of the Southern Water tribe siblings Katara (Kiawentiio Tarbell) and Sokka (Ian Ousley) who stumble upon an iceberg that has frozen their world's last and lost Airbender, Avatar Aang,(Gordon Cormier) in time. In a world split into four nations — the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation and the Air Nomads, each representing a natural element — a fascist Fire Nation regime threatens the balance. And the Avatar, master of all four elements, is the only one who can stop the imperial Fire Nation's plans to conquer the world.
