what if katara starts helping the people in ba sing se (maybe uses her scarf to cover up her mouth or hair at first) and zuko as the blue spirit sees, and then he quietly gives her the painted lady moniker (since the painted lady is implied to be a river spirit specific to jang hui)
thinking more about this and i just want the blue spirit delicately painting the stripes onto katara
Okay, but imagine after he paints her stripes, he feels the need to reveal his identity. Once he does, he shows her she can trust him by placing her hand on his scar.
Zuko is scared of her response at first. She looks like sheâs in shock, but once it wears off, she gently cradles his cheek and says, âLooks like Iâm not the only one with warrior marks etched on my skin.â
