"water"

- Welcome! Welcome!

Yugoda is a female Waterbender of the Northern Water Tribe. She instructs young women of her city how to use their Waterbending skills for healing purposes.

History


In "The Waterbending Master", when Katara was denied Waterbending lessons, she was told to go to Yugoda's healing lessons.

After the healing class, Katara thanked Yugoda who notices her betrothal necklace and asks her who she is getting married to. Katara explains that she is not ready for marriage and that the necklace was her grandmother's, passed down to her mother, and then her. Yugoda recognizes the carving and reveals to Katara that she is an old friend of Kanna's, and also that Katara's grandmother was born in the Northern Tribe and was engaged to a young Waterbender, but left mysteriously without saying goodbye.



A younger Yugoda is seen attempting to heal Princess Yue soon after she was born, before Chief Arnook made his bargain with the moon spirit.
