What happens to Katara and Sokka’s parents — Avatar: The Last Airbender reveals
In the course of Season 1 of The Last Airbender, the Netflix adaptation skillfully integrated a sequence of flashbacks and subtle clues regarding the fate of Katara and Sokka's parents. These flashbacks and the bits of information they provide, thus make room for the exploration of these characters in the future.
Netflix’s The Last Airbender, like the original animated cartoon, pairs Katara’s trauma with their mother and Sokka’s with their father. Hence, the mystery of the duo’s mom’s death is revealed in the former’s PTSD-related flashback. Katara’s flashback reveals, that their mother Kya was killed by the Firebenders when Sokka and Katara were children.
In Avatar: The Last Airbender, Firebenders, tipped off about another Waterbender residing in Wolf Clove, launch an assault on the village to eliminate the presumed Waterbender, who happens to be Katara herself. In a bid to protect her young child, Kya falsely claims to be the Waterbender sought by the Fire Nation soldiers, resulting in her tragic demise as they unleash their flames upon her.
As for Sokka and Katara’s father Hakoda, Sokka’s flashback reveals that he left with other men of the Southern Water Tribe to fight in the war against the Fire Nation. The plot of The Airbender season 1, however, does not inform if he is alive or has perished.
What's in the future for Avatar: The Last Airbender
If the show follows the source material closely, Katara and Sokka’s father should still be alive and reunite with his children in the later seasons, if they are made that is.
