I wanted to be a healer before I was sent to Master Pakku to lean waterbending. That was until I visited the healing hut. The single room on the edge of town was dingy compared to the grand training grounds within the palace. The lives of the girls were the same – tending to the old and sick rather than performing for the king, travelling the world and wooing beautiful young heirs. Nobody told me I couldn't be a boy and a healer, I just didn't want to give up the prestige and power of being a waterbender for it.
