both katara and yue share incredible responsibilities as being the last pillars in their respective communities and, by extension, the last hope in surviving the war yet both of the specific roles they hold and how they wield their agency fundamentally differ from one another. in short, katara is a warrior. yue is a princess. katara refuses to back down from a confrontation and actively takes up as much space as possible. she’s fiercely aware of her worth and will make sure that everyone else is as well. yue, on the other hand, constantly sacrifices her own needs and to the point of it being detrimental to her personhood. now yue’s choices are largely informed by her father’s socio-political position as chief as well as the staunchly misogynistic environment that is the nwt whereas katara doesn’t face nearly as many obstacles as a result of her gender. spirit world yue though isn’t burdened with earthly responsibilities and is essentially free to do whatever she pleases for the first time in her life and a post-canon situation where her and katara are able to genuinely bond as sort-of sisters would be so transformative for the both of them, but especially for yue. of course, no one understands yue as well as sokka does and the profoundness of their relationship lies behind their ability to see one another for who they truly are, but yue could learn a lot about being assertive and setting boundaries and taking up space and luckily master katara inspired a generation of girls of color to do precisely that. who else is gonna show yue that she can be messy and mean and say “no” and have fun and enjoy being a kid??
