Creation and Conception
According to the un-aired pilot episode, Katara’s name was originally 'Kya', which was later used for her deceased mother instead. In “Tales of Ba Sing Se”, Katara’s name was written as 卡 塔 拉. Kǎ (卡) means to check, block, or card; Tǎ (塔) means pagoda; and Lā (拉) means to pull. The character 'Lā' appears in the first season's finale, while the character 'Kǎ' also appears in Sokka's name.
In the commentary of the unaired pilot episode, co creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino state that Katara's "hair loopies" were intended to hang downward, but were thought too hard to animate and looped backward instead.
Katara also is the owner of her grandmother's betrothal necklace, a navy blue choker bearing a blue pendant marked with the Water Tribe's symbol.

—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“If the Nazis have really been guilty of the unspeakable crimes circumstantially imputed to them, then—let us make no mistake—pacifism is faced with a situation with which it cannot cope. The conventional pacifist conception of a reasonable or generous peace is irrelevant to this reality.”
—John Middleton Murry (1889–1957)
