Its probable that she was talking to Zuko........
You can see this; in the magazine cover, Zuko appeared with longer hair, still at side of Azula... Maybe in some moment of madness and confusion he cuts it again.... Or Azula cuts it o_0

I've always been curious about how sensitive the Fire Nation is regarding hair. I know that when Iroh and Zuko chopped off their topknots and ponytails, it was a symbol of them abandoning their home and country...but if Zuko waltzed back in with his hair like it was in Zuko Alone, would they not allow his return?
Or was my recent viewing of Shanghai Noon completely mixed up my thoughts of what applied in ancient China and the Avatar fandom?

In the ATLA world, the hair is important. Hair in the Asian culture is a symbol of honor. If you cut your own hair, you are separating yourself of your family and country.
And If someone cuts your hair; is symbol of dishonor.

Like how terrible it was for a Japanese soldier to get a haircut in 'The Last Samurai'...the reason he yelled so loudly was because the enemy was cutting him off from everything sacred, and thus rendered him an undesirable.

So this is why I'm wondering how important it is for when Zuko returns...liek...home. XD And I'm wondering how far the gAang is going to have to work to get into the Fire Nation and if they'll have an inside person in the Fire Palace.

Zuko, being with Azula, had long hair (it grows more since BSS, aside, you can see that the time passed since Aang also has hair in the first episode, and in the comics that are between season 2 and 3). So; Why he would cut it off again.,.. Was Azula the one that did that horrible thing??

Well...in the green picture, it's not short enough to make a sufficient topknot that falls out with one swish.

If he has the hair short it means that that image doesn't belongs to "the beach"... It belongs of something after his betrayal to Azula. (m correcting myself in that XD)

Oh. I'm so misinformed. XD My apologies. I thought that was right before Zuko entered the Fire Nation. xD
Anyway...something...Zutara to discuss...
I just caught up on Irrel's AU comic. Lol...I've been behind for a while. ;_;

Irrel es una capa: she is great. That comic is wonderful n_n
About Zutara; aside that they were wearing the same X chest bands, and that s looks like Katara is talking to Zuko in one scene (were Zuko still didn't betrayed Azula, because we can see the shoulder of a FN armor, and part, maybe, of his scar; so, he has his hair tied. And Katara is still wearing the FN hairdo and clothes that when they are with Aang with hair.)
I just can say, with that logic; that Zuko and Katara are going to meet more soon that is espected...

Irrel es una capa: she is great. That comic is wonderful n_n I agree. Irrel is a wonderful arist and I greatly enjoy looking at her peaices even if what she draws isn't my cup of tea. Hmm, I don’t know about that. It is pretty obvious that Zuko and Katara are going to meet again but I don’t think similar clothes are a good indicator of when and how they are going to meet. I can’t think of a good explanation myself (perhaps they end fighting the same enemy?) because S3 is so vast and unknown. Oh and because this was a reply to one of my posts: I think we’ll see a Zuko/Katara friendship. If the Gaang is going to bring peace to the world it would be quite hypercritical of them to do so if they can’t even make peace with their enemies. As ships you like happening, I’m mostly a canon shipper so I’ve never seen what the big deal about your ship being canon is. If it is that’s great but fandom mostly revolves around fanon things like fanart and fanfic anyway.

Here Ana; hey...Guys....... Katara is wearing the same X stuff that Zuko (that thing in their chests): ASIDE; Zuko just can have the hairdo in the first episodes; because its hair grow up since Ba sin se. And as we can see; to Aang also grow hair, so it happened some time. Then he appears fighting with Katara. You can guess that is in favor of her, because both have the same X chest bands; that maybe are some uniform. And Zuko has short hair again, shorter than in the end of BSS. And in the scene of her shelling "I will never turn my back on people who need me", it can be see the shoulder of a FN armor, and maybe the scar of Zuko. And the scar is only visible since that position because, and only, If his hair is tied............. And Katara in that scene is wearing the first dress that she has; because in the images when Aang is bald again she is wearing the X things and has her hair loopiest again. So, that scene is in the first half of the season (the one of Zuko with long hair and tied, and kATARA SHELLING), and the one with the hair loopiest and a Bald Aang without bandages (and a Zuko with short hair), in the second half. So; its looks like at least they are going to meet one time in the first half and in the second half in some moment, Zuko is with them. ----------- Look at this; dO YOU See the construction that is behind Katara? It looks like is this one: It seems that Katara is again trying to free prisioners XD.

Um, I guess I'm with Ana concerning the clothes: maybe it's the latest fashion in the FN? If that was all we got by the end of the season, I'd be okay with it. As long as they end up friends, I'm a happy camper. If they become romantically involved by the end of the show....my joy would spread throughout all the world, & everyone would hear me screaming for joy ;D

what part of the clothes?? Katara is wearing this at the beggining: that is the same that here: You can know for the hairdo and all Then; when Aang is bald again; she is wearing this: With soldiers at her back, and Sokka in his new warrior armor. That thing maybe is the uniform of Katara. It lloks like a armor; see the arm bands?? the shoulder bands?? Is nothing complicated...
