Pardon me, but I was wondering for Katara's latest post, is it okay if I make a separate prompt for her and Tenten? Like they catch each other in Ch1 halls? (:

thank you for answering in advance ;o;

[markofthebrave]

Hey! Sure, if you think it's something natural that they would do, go right ahead! I tried to leave it opened, so feel free to catch her anywhere. It's not TOO unusual to see her there, though, as she visited Shikamaru up until fairly recently.

ALSO, because I need additional help, how would this AU thing work? Would Tenten just think she's weird/notice that they have the same headband/or would Tenten believe the AU or...?

Thank you for your kind answers though ;o;

The AU only effects Katara, though all of her physical/clothing/training changes are noticeable by anyone else.

In this AU, when Kya instructed the young Katara to run, she instead attempted to strike out at the man who was threatening her mother with her amateur and extremely ineffective waterbending. This provided Yon Rha with the answer her sought: The Southern Watertribe’s Last Waterbender, but for some reason he couldn’t bring himself to burn her to a crisp. Instead, he followed the tradition to bring her back to the Fire Nation to be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

Of course, her mother and father wouldn't let her go without a fight. Katara's not sure what happened to them, and the rest of their village, but there was a lot of fire, and her mom hit her head... it looked like the last thing she saw was her mom getting up and reaching for her... but there was smoke, and she isn't sure.

Being an insecure and pathetic man, while keeping her captive on his ship, Yon Rha was affected by the grumbling of his men and set out trying to prove that the young girl was a waterbender. This was accomplished, or an attempted to be accomplished, by ‘practicing’ and ‘playing’ with her – activities which resulted in Katara being burned in various degrees of severity from her hair to her toes, in patches as she tried to get out of the way of the fire he would send in her direction.

She didn’t bend at him, though. Not once. Because she’d figured out by this point that if she wasn’t a bender, maybe she’d get to go home. So she endured the flames, and the mocking which often reduced her to tears about the inferiority of her bending and her general worthlessness.

Maybe she would have pulled it off, and not been imprisoned, or killed, or… something, but then she was taken in front of Fire Lord Ozai. And the things he said there, the things she heard – suddenly everything crystallized in her mind that it was this man’s fault. Beaten and half-starved, she attempted to attack him. It was pathetic, and laughable, and intrigued the Fire Lord.

He thought perhaps by breaking her, he would have a useful tool, and sent her to be imprisoned in the traditional manner of waterbenders. This is where Katara stayed, in a cage, in a huge room, all alone, suspended and bound when fed water…

…until the second night of the full moon.

Timeline/Appearance:
Katara is taken when still on the ship, just before landing in the Fire Nation. Her physical appearance is considerably thinner than in her icons, because the captain is a bastard and didn’t feed her well. Her hair is also singed off in a streak at her left side, and that ear is burnt as well. Other burns are on places not readily apparent – arms, chest, hips, legs, back. Her back, actually, is the worst of it. They are not necessarily scarring burns, if treated properly, but some of them are blistering, and some of those blisters have started to fester, since she wasn’t given anything to keep them clean. Around her wrists the skin is all rubbed raw from being harshly tied together.

Her healing will be ineffectual, since it only activated once she’d actually started some training.

Currently Katara is fourteen years old. She has scars from fire up and down her forearms and on her back, though they are faded with time. She has been raised by Hama up until the point where she decided that she would do more good if she struck out on her own.

She is a wanted terrorist in the Fire Nation known as the Painted Lady - her acts of destruction are marked by going against military targets only. She and Princess Azula have clashed several times, neither coming to a clear point of victory, as Katara slowly makes her way towards the Fire Nation capital, where she plans to kill the royal family or die trying.
