Just lookit her aggression, her swagger. The smugness and the confidence. It's like being Zao, but with the skills to back it up. It's why she scares the boys away.

Newsflash: Being aggressive and confident doesn't make one "manly." And being a whimpering wilting flower doesn't make one "womanly."

True. But there is definitely a distinctive kinda confidence and swagger that a woman would carry than what a man would. Aggression comes across differently too. Azula seems to come across the line and take on that almost masculine disregard when things get serious. Which looks alright on Azula.
Just lookit Katara when she's really pissed, or cornered. that's feminine aggression for ya. Like when she decided she had to beat some sense into Master Pakku.

And what about when Katara goes on a mission to kill the man who killed her mother?

What about Zuko angsting over his daddy issues? I don't see it. Emotions are emotions, and any kind of person can express them.

Zuko doesn't really get aggressive toward his dad or about his dad. He just huffs and puffs about it. You can actually see him get aggressive toward his sister. He charges and hammers away at her. Doesn't matter if they both go down. Doesn't matter if Azula gets why. In the moment, Zuko is focused on the fight. Disregarding how he feels until it's over. Like the fight at the Western Air Temple. He doesn't really consider that Azula could die, and how he feels until it's over.

Katara is more about teaching the dude a lesson, then punishing him. She channels her emotions. If not. She'd have killed the guy.

Everybody expresses emotion. But we often learn from our examples to express them differently. I see myself express them a lot like my dad. My daughter does it just like her mom.

I didn't say Zuko gets aggressive to his dad. What you said just proves my point. His sulking is what someone like you would normally regard a "feminine" trait.

And I would say that going after a stranger who killed your mom with intent to murder for revenge is pretty damn aggressive. She doesn't give a CRAP about teaching him a lesson. She wanted him to DIE. It was only at the last moment she changed her mind.

Just because you emulate only one particular parent doesn't mean the whole word does, too. Frankly, I find your generalizations about women and what constitutes a woman to be very narrow-minded.

I am glad people seem to like her face, because I spent way too long erasing it and I am STILL not satisfied with it. Anyways, thank you! Glad you like it!
