Much as I like Katara - and she's had 100+ years since the events of AtLA... but forgiving? If you're on her good people list, yes. Sokka, Aang, her father... yes. But if you're not? Zuko and to a lesser degree Toph had some definite work to do before they got on that list. Azula really hasn't made that sort of effort. Azula's considerably more pragmatic and those two worldviews colliding... best viewed from a safe distance. D. |
