Katara is a waterbender, she travels with the Avatar.
Katara is the last remaining water bender from the South Pole's water tribe, this was due to her tribe being attacked repeatedly by the fire nation. Katara is a water bending master who's abilities greatly improved throughout the series.
Origin
Katara was a member of the South Pole's water tribe, however her tribe had been under constant attacks, and Katara's mother sacrificed her life to save Katara, and so at the age of just eight years old, Katara had no mother, and so had to mature very early, she had to look after both her brother and herself. Katara is the last waterbender of the south pole tribe, and so the fire nation was searching for her in order to kill her, but Katara's mother lied and said that she was the waterbender, and not her daughter.Though Katara's main priority was to learn how to bend water skillfully, she often takes on motherly roles such as cooking . She and her brother find Aang trapped in ice, they then find out that Aang is the Avatar. The Avatar has to learn how to bend all 4 elements, and so Aang, like Katara also wanted to learn how to bend water, and so they head off to the northern water tribe to learn how to bend water.
Upon arrival, they come across the water bending master known as Master Pakku, who appears to be sexist, as he refused to teach Katara, because she was a female. However, he notices that Katara was wearing her grandmother's engagement gift, which he gave Katara's grandmother roughly 50 years ago. He then decides to accept her, and teaches her how to bend water, she becomes very skillful, and possibly surpassed Master Pakku, and so Master Pakku says that Katara is worthy of teaching Aang how to bend water. Bear in mind that Aang had to be taught by the best, and so Master Pakku is hinting that Katara is the best water bender. Katara then teaches Aang how to bend water.
Katara is one of the main characters, and she travelled with Aang, whilst he was searching for an earthbender to teach him, Toph then joins the team, as she was the best earthbender, even though she is blind and very young. There was alot of friction between Katara and Toph, especially when hygiene and teaching method was involved. However, despite the constant arguments, they are actually very good friends, and almost like sisters. Aang is mortally wounded by Azula, the fire nation's princess, and it is Katara, who heals the Avatar, using her water bending abilities.
In the third season, Aang has to learn how to bend fire, and it is also where Katara is forced to learn how to bloodbend, which allows her to control the movements of animals. It is also where Zuko joins the team, however, Katara does not trust him at all, and even threatens Zuko, however, gradually she accepted him, especially when he helped her find theman responsible for killing her mother, she was going to kill the man, but saw that he was not worthy to kill as he was in her view, pathetic. Katara becomes alot more closer to Zuko.
Katara, then joins the battle against the fire nation, and goes with Zuko to defeat Azula, Zuko battles Azula alone, and was about to defeat her, and so Azula targets Katara with her lightning, but Zuko bravely jumps in front of the lightning to save Katara, this forces Katara to fight Azula, and she traps Azula with her skillful waterbending.
