Katara remembers her mother quite well. She remembers the smell that surrounded her when she would sit with Gran-Gran and her mother; talking quietly.

When she was younger, Katara would ask her mother how she always smelled so nice when Daddy smelt so bad, but her mother would just laugh and say she liked Daddy's scent just fine.

Katara remembers the way her mother seemed to glide around the hut preparing a delicious dinner, a beautiful smile on her face with warmth shining in her eyes that the South Pole could never freeze.

But Katara can't remember her mother's voice.
