OC Characters: Tajha – pronounced as Tae-zha
Tajha description- Purple eyes, with fire red hair, tan skin (color of iroh) in this chapter she is about 20. But as chapters progress she will age to about 40 something. (because katara is a baby when she is 20 so when katara is 14 she has to be at least 34, but lets just say early 40's) She wears ruby red lipstick. And she wears a red silk kimono with the small water element signs stiched in blue all over it.When she is older she will have slight wrinkles.
(Maybe more OC's in further chapters.)
Mika Kami28 Mika Kami28Katara's mother carried the squirming baby accompanied by Kanna to a small hut towards the middle of the tribe. Katara cried and struggled in her mothers' arms. She was about two months, with full hair that was pulled back into a tribal bun. Her eyes where bright and big and was a rich soft blue color which she took after from her mother. Her mother was tired it was remnant in her facial features. Her eyes drooped with following bags, and a frown pulled at the corners of her lips. She was exhausted katara made sure of that.
They were going to a fortune teller that visited the South Pole every time a baby was born. Yet, the fortune teller didn't make many trips down to the South Pole because the birthrate was low and was decreasing rapidly.
They entered the hut and a smoky mist met them at the entrance. Katara's crying only persisted further. They sat at a small table in the middle of the hut on pillows around it.
"Shizukanishite child!" the fortune teller's voice was soft but powerful, and almost like magic the babies crying ceased.
"My name is Tajha, but of course you already know. I have met you before. How is Sokka? He was a lot quieter than this one, she is feisty!"
Tajha was young; she wore bright red lipstick that was brightly shown through dark tent, along with her amethyst eyes.
"He is -"
Tajha nodded,
"Give it to me."
"Excuse me?" the command was abrupt and surprised her.
"Her palm, I am here to tell her fortune, am I not?"
Katara's mother placed Katara's small hand on top of the table. While Tajha carefully spread her it open.
Tajha closed her eyes and began to hum, it was an entrancing tune, but as soon as it began it soon ended.
She reopened her eyes. Her eyes seemed different than before, they were hard and dark.
"This one, this one is going to be very special," she carefully examined the small child sitting in her mothers lap.
"She is going to be a very beautiful girl. She will help change the destiny of two others…she will change the destiny of the world."
She closed her eyes again and began to speak
"I will meet this one again…she is a waterbender"
The light started to brighten and nothing was visible except for the young Katara and the fortune teller.
The light soon turned into a pale white, it was blinding.
Both Katara and Tajha closed there eyes from the light. When they opened their eyes again they were greeted by a grassy field. The sun brightly glowed on two young people in the far distance.
Tajha watched as she saw the two saunter around the field, it seemed endless. They were lost. She could see ropes still bound to them.
"They were captured?" Tajha whispered quietly to herself. She kept watching them until she was able to depict their identities; one was a girl, a waterbender. She wore a blue robe with blue tights underneath. Her eyes were bright a big.
Tajha looked toward the baby katara and right away relized it was katara. It seemed the katara in the distance was walking with a man…she couldn't depict him, his figure was blurred.
As soon a the blur began to clear the bright light once again returned and Tajha found herself opening her eyes to Katara's mother and Kanna.
The young fortune teller smiled lightly at both of them, "I see men involved." The fortune teller squeezed katara's hand, obviously picking up another strong reading.
The smile was quickly wiped off of Tajha face. "This is very bad, the spirits are granting me permission to control this child, and if something goes wrong in her destiny it could be disastrous."
"I will control her if she test's her destiny, if she defies it in anyway, I will make sure it doesn't go wrong."
With that the fortune teller quickly stood.
"But,-"
"I have to go, a certain prince is I need of a reading, he is long over due."
Tajha packed up her few belongings and left, she boarded a ship and sailed off into the distance.
She didn't have the heart to tell Katara's mother that she would decease soon, she couldn't control her mothers fate only Katara's.

Tajha entered the palace. It was a drastic change from the South Pole. She was meant by two husky guards at the door.
"You must be the fortune teller." One of the guards stated, not really awaiting an answer. He began to lead her to Ursa's private quarters. They were lead down countless stairways and hallways until they entered a small garden. He pointed toward a pagoda in the distance, "Ursa and prince and princess are waiting in the room there."
"Oh there is two?" they guard nodded and began to walk away in the opposite direction.
The fortune teller walked toward the pagoda and peeked inside. Ursa saw her and greeted her in.
"Ah, how are you Ursa? I see you are a little behind on the prince's reading." The prince was two years old and his future was unknown to everyone.
"I'm sorry Tajha it took a lot of convincing to Ozai from me and Iroh." Ursa gave a warm grin while brushing her hair behind her ear.
"Well lets get started, there is a young earthbender I need to see after this," "what's his name?"
"Zuko."
"Hello Zuko." His eyes were small and slanted, but the golden color made them soft and bright. His hair was pulled into a ponytail with a red ribbon tying it. And he was already dressed in armor.
"Hi!" he was energetic, his mother must have excited him about this session.
"Zuko, can you give me you palm?"
"Yes!" he put his palm onto her own.
Tajha closed her eyes and hummed, "So much devastation, so much anger and hatred…"
Ursa eyes grew from happiness to worry and her lips started to fall.
"So much pain." The fortune teller too was frowning.
The light started to brighten and nothing was visible except for the young Zuko and the fortune teller.
The light soon turned into a pale white, it was blinding.
Both Zuko and Tajha closed there eyes from the light. When they opened their eyes again they were greeted by a grassy field. The sun brightly glowed on two young people in the far distance.
Tajha watched as she saw the two saunter around the field, it seemed endless. They were lost. She could see ropes still bound to them.
"They were captured?" Tajha whispered quietly to herself. She kept watching them until she was able to depict their identities; one was a girl, a waterbender. She wore a blue robe with blue tights underneath. Her eyes were bright a big.
Tajha looked toward the baby katara and right away realized it was katara. It seemed the katara in the distance was walking with a man…she couldn't depict him, his figure was blurred.
It started to clear, it was a firenation man, "Wait no a boy, an older boy." He was a firebender. However he was wearing green earth peasant clothing. There was a large scar on his left eye. The bright light once again returned and Tajha found herself opening her eyes to Ursa and the baby princess.
"De Ja Vu'" Tajha gave more thought. "They're destinies are intertwined!"
Ursa was lost.
"I will have to help this one too!" and by help she meant to control when he tried to stray from his destiny.
Ursa was still lost.
Tajha let go of Zuko's palm, and stood quickly with her few belongings. She quickly began to walk away. Ursa ran after her with a stumbling Zuko following. "Wait, what did you see what is going to happen to my son? Why is he going to feel pain?" Tajha kept walking with no response to Ursa.
"Tajha, what is going to happen to my son!?" Ursa was nearly screaming.
Finally the fortune teller stopped and blinked her purple eyes at Ursa. "Ursa, listen to me," she was sure to whisper because guards swarmed everywhere here, " You are going to have to leave this place, in order for Zuko to fulfill his destiny, you have to leave, I asked the spirits in my trance to give you some years to spend with your son. They have granted me that wish, when zuko is seven you must leave. I don't need to read Azula's palm to know that she will be a twisted girl who will lead to the core of Zuko's problems, it was in Zuko' palm. However, to Ozai and the rest of the firenation she will be a firebending prodigy."
Ursa was left speechless, she had many questions for Tajha, like 'What is going to happen' or 'Where will I leave to' or even 'Why is my daughter going to do such things.' But when she thought of these questions Tajha was gone.
With that the fortune teller rushed past the dozen guards and back onto her ship. She had a lot of planning to do. Katara and Zuko's destiny was at her fingertips.
Mika Kami28 Mika Kami28A/N: I was gonna make Tajha visit aang but he isn't supposed to be born yet! LOL but the earthbender (though I'm not gonna write about it) is Haru. Tell me how it is!
Review please! This next chapter is gonna be when Ursa leaves and the real story behind it, then either later in that chapter or the next it will be back to current times between Katara and Zuko.
