Katara is a 14-year-old "waterbender", meaning that she has the ability to control water, ice and blood (also known as bloodbending). At the beginning of the story, she is the only person with such abilities in the Southern Water Tribe, one of two known communities in which waterbending is practiced. She and her older brother, Sokka, discover an "airbender" (one who can manipulate air) named Aang frozen in an iceberg. They free him and accompany him on his quest to defeat the imperialistic Fire Nation and bring peace to the war-torn world.[3] She later earns the title of Master Waterbender from Master Pakku of the Northern Water Tribe.[4]
Katara has appeared in other media, such as trading cards,[5] T-shirts, video games[6] and web comics.[7]
