25. Skin

The noblewomen of the Fire Nation had some very strange habits when it came to skincare. Several of the things they considered beauty products, Katara considered food. If she had ever rubbed pureed seaweed or reduced tigerseel blubber on her face back home, people would have called her crazy. The women of Zuko's court payed ridiculous amounts for tigerseel blubber, imported from the northern Earth Kingdom and, under the new trade agreements, the Water Tribes. Ty Lee had given her a jar when Katara had complained to her about the havoc the local climate was wreaking on her skin. Katara had frozen it and diced it, then eaten it. It tasted like home, and also preservatives. She wasn't going to waste a good, Water Tribe-style meal by rubbing it on her face, humidity induced acne or no.
