Avatar: The Last Airbender/Recap/Book 3/03 The Painted Lady
When the Gaang comes upon a fishing village that has been having hard times due to the pollution from a local factory, Katara cannot resist helping the villagers in the guise of the local river spirit, the Painted Lady.
"I will never, ever turn my back on people who need me!" |
Tropes:
- Chronic Hero Syndrome: Katara. The page quote is basically the defining statement of her personality.
- God Guise: Katara
- Green Aesop
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Destroying the factory just gets the soldiers stationed there mad at the villagers.
- Scarecrow Solution
- Shout-Out: Katara, disguised as the Painted Lady, begins approaching Fire Nation soldiers a child says "She's com-ing!" in the exact same tone as the line "|They're he-re!"
- Sleeping Dummy: Katara stuffs her sleeping bag with grass to sneak away from the group.
- Sorry I Left the BGM On: The ominous Painted Lady music comes from Sokka playing the flute.
- Spit Take: Aang has this reaction when Sokka announces they might have to take potty breaks and food breaks at the same time.
- Split Personality: Dock/Xu/Bushi
