Zuko had two distinct scars on his body, the first seen by all when looking at his face. A reminder of his past of what he was and what he became. It should that he was a man with honor that cared about his citizens and was a man better than his father. The second scar was never seen unless he wished it to be seen. The star shaped scar on his chest showed that he cared. That he placed his own safety and pain below the one person who mattered most in his life. Zuko was proud of both his scars; he would go through the pain of getting both again.

Katara didn't have distinct visible scars on her body, though she had gone through pain in her life. She had a mental scar on her heart from when it was broken by a boy with golden eyes in green robes talking about how he had changed. The pain faded eventually and the scar healed though the help of the same boy who caused it, when he took her on a journey and gave her closure. This pain was great, but it brought them closer together. The other pain Katara had gone though was one she would go though again in a heart beat. She gave birth to her first child with complications. The pain was intense and healers said they almost lost her and her son. The pain was worth it though because she fought and both she and her son are now doing fine.

Pain was not a stranger to Zuko and Katara. Pain left scars and took time to heal; it left bad memories and gave them strength. Katara and Zuko went though different types of pain, but wouldn't take away the pain because both agreed it was worth it.
