Agreed. And she is never condescending with him In fact respects him and his ideas and opinions. She does treat Aang as an equal. But I suppose the simplest way to rule aang out as a suitor for Katara is to make his and her relationship a "mommy/son" one. That brings to mind the whole - Katara as Aang's mother and Zuko as his father thing that was running through the boards a short while back. Even if (and that's a big if) the feelings Katara has towards Aang are maternal, how does that make Zuko his "father". Zuko is less mature than Aang is in many aspects!

*claps to Amira* You really are the Kataang goddess *gives Karma* Thanks. Katara and Aang are probably the two characters fans misrepresent the most. Aang is not a needy child missing parents he never knew. He has never indicated he wants or needs parents. He has indicated that he wants a family (and most pointedly said this in reference to the husband, wife, and baby). Fan desires are often pushed on Katara. Zuko is older, therefore Katara will like him. Zuko is daring and mysterious, therefore Katara will like him. Zuko is supposedly sexy/attractive (which I don't really see), therefore Katara will be attracted to him. Fans wouldn't want a younger, less (searching for a good word) ...um...developed boy. Therefore Katara wouldn't. But that does a diservice to Aang because he is not Zuko's age. He is younger. He has yet to be what he is to become.

The whole point of a relationship is too have some kind of connection, even if it is a mother and son relationship it could still work out.

Good afternoon Kataangs! Discussion topic: How do you think Katara will act towards Zuko? Would she join him in a possible search for his mother? Or do you think she will distrustful and wary of him? Do you think that Zuko possibly joining the Gaang will make her realize that her heart lies with our young Avatar? I feel if Zuko joined it will bring her and Aang closer and she will realize that her heart has been with him. To just get my two cents out there, I don't think that Zuko will ever join the Gaang. He will help them out and ally with them when the time comes, but he's forever going to be on his own road, with his own story line. That said... If Zuko joins the Gaang, then I see it as being something filled with awkwardness and silence. Zuko wouldn't readily partner with them anyways, so he'd just keep to himself most of the time, withh Toph and Aang being the ones giving him the time of day. Katara would just plain ignore him except when needed, and Sokka would probably just be... regular Sokka, only with a little more hostility thrown in. Katara, like I said before, wouldn't pay him any mind, except when she had to (example being, "Zuko, are you hungry?"). I don't believe she'd be mean or hostile of him, that's not her personality, but i do think she'll be sure to keep her guard up. That would be any person, really. In terms of becoming friends, I think that Katara would just take cues from Zuko- it just depends on his mood. I do believe that Katara and Zuko could be friends in an Aang-Toph kind of way, just not close like Katara and Aang are. It's just not something I can picture, them having a super-deep relationship, judging from their personalities and their pasts and destinies. Two different things that will clash, really. Zuko would only have a small, but important, effect on Katara and Aang's relationship. It would make Aang realize that Katara won't be there forever if he doesn't make his move, and it will show Katara her true feelings. Zuko isn't someone that I think Katara would go for (she seems to like heroic, upbeat types), so it isn't a priority to me to talk about this extensively.

I can never see Zuko having a crush or liking Katara more then a friend. I can hardly see him liking her as a friend.

It might be Jeong Jeong or just some random person.

Well, if Zuko DOES join the Gaang, then he might be Aang's Firebending teacher. (Just imagine, Sifu Zuko. XD) Anyways, Zuko might teach Aang in his ruthless Firebending motive, and Katara might be the only one to ease him. (Sokka will be too busy planning a way to find Zuko's not here to teach Aang, Toph will agree with Zuko, and Aang will just go along with it.) Even though Katara might tell Zuko that his teachings should be more like hers, Zuko might get aggravated that he can't even teach the Avatar. Katara will probably not forget the time he tried to gamble her necklace for Aang, so she might not get touchy-touchy with him. A relationship-NO. A friendship-Maybe. A teacher to teacher relation- Yes.
