She remembered being younger. It had been very lonely without any friends; she only had herself. Then, she had met the badgermoles, they had given her a great gift. They taught her to earthbend, as was her birthright. They gave her strength and a way to make up for her lack of sight.
She remembered her parents tightening their control on her actions as she began to grow older. It drove her insane. Everything was about being a "proper young lady" with them.
She remembered being the Champion of the Earth Rumble competition, under the alias of the Blind Bandit. She beat out earthbenders three times her own age.
She remembered that bald, little monk with his light footsteps knocking her out of the ring. She had reached a whole new level of anger. He had taken the only thing that she had ever earned for herself as her true self.
She remembered when she had lied to that same little monk to go on the adventure of a lifetime. It had been the first time that she could be herself all of the time. No need to hide behind common courtesy and respect for her parents and their wishes anymore. She could concentrate on what she wanted, be who she wanted to be.
She remembered when Katara had confessed that she loved someone else and ran off to the Fire Nation. She had comforted Aang through his months of mourning.
She remembered that first kiss. On top of a rock ledge with the sounds of waves crashing against the cliff face. He had taken her face into both hands and pressed his lips against hers for a brief few seconds. It had been too short and light for her liking.
She remembered her swift earthbending move that had put Aang into the ground from the waist up. She had then proceeded to kiss him more deeply and passionately as the sun set in the background.
