ALL POSTSWhere's Katara statue in Republic City?
<p>WHERE IS IT?
</p><p>WHERE IS KATARA'S STATUE IN KORRA.
</p><p>In other words, I was given a dose of reality when it turns out that Katara doesn't have a statue in Republic City.
</p><p>It's a curious thing really, so I made this for people to discuss about.
</p><p>My theory is Katara didn't want one so she said no.
</p><p>Or they ran out of tax payer money, either way, I dunno

Haven't really seen the idea that everyone but Katara was dead anywhere. The idea of statues seemed to be more akin to the idea of present characters trying to live up to or overcome the legacy of predecessors. This is particularly true in Korra's and Lin's case.

If I have this correctly, Celine is saying that, before they were picked up for more seasons, the writers originally planned on everyone but Katara being dead--& that's why she's the only one without a statue. <p>I wonder if they just forgot about it. I know I did. </p> </i></div>
<p>Then why does Zuko have a statue? </p>

<p>Zuko has a statue because he and Aang co-founded the URN, and all that he did as Fire Prince and Fire Lord.

<p>It doesn't really seem like Katara really contributed to Republic City as much as the other member of the Gaang. Aang and Zuko co-founded the nation, Toph was a legendary Chief Of Police, Sokka was head of the council. What exactly did Katara do for Republic City to earn herself a statue? Yeah, sure she got bloodbending banned but like somebody else said before me, banning something does not earn you a statue.

<p>It's an interesting point; maybe Katara just never did anything big and dramatic like the others did?
