We met Jet while we were traveling through the Earth Kingdom. We'd been having a lot of problems with Zuko following us, and so Sokka decided that instead of flying we had to walk. Which worked out great... when we walked right into a Fire Nation camp full of soldiers.
It wasn't good. We were completely outnumbered - I was barely a bender at all, then, and Aang only knew airbending. Sokka hadn't really fought anyone either... and then Jet came, swinging down from the tree tops. He took out practically the whole camp by himself, but he wasn't alone. He had a collection of other kids with him - he called them his freedom fighters. Well, Pipsqueak wasn't a kid, but...
[Katara shakes her head and tries to return to the point.] He was their leader. He'd taken them in from all over the Earth Kingdom - he made sure they had food, that they learned to fight... and he gave them a reason to keep on fighting, to fight against the Fire Nation. He was strong, and brave and...
[And handsome. And he listened to her, admired her bending, made her feel special. When he looked at her... Katara's face softens for a moment as she remembers. It's amazing how she couldn't let herself think of this before... but now that she knows that he's dead, now that she knows that he tried to change and that fighting by Aang's side killed him... those memories have regained some of their sweetness.]
