[edit] History

Katara as The Painted Lady

The Painted Lady watched over the river town of Jang Hui until a Fire Nation factory moved in ten years ago and began polluting the river. This event drove the Painted Lady away, leaving the villagers to fend for themselves.

When the Avatar and his friends come to the village of Jang Hui, Katara notices that it needs help. She disguises herself as The Painted Lady and brings food to the village. She then goes and heals the sick another night. The following night she dresses up and with the help of Aang, they destroy the factory. As they prepare to leave, they see a squad of Fire Nation troops heading towards the town on speeders, and realize that they must believe the villagers had sabotaged the factory, Katara is determined to stop them. The soldiers start attacking the village, but a gust of wind blows their flames out. With help from Appa, Toph, and Sokka providing spooky sound effects, Aang and Katara stage an encounter with the Painted Lady to defeat the troops and drive them away.

After Katara helps the villagers of Jang Hui to drive away the Fire Nation and clean the river, the Painted Lady reveals herself to Katara and thanks her.
