Hey guys, here is a interesting thread on /co/.
Sokkani would be a girl who'd love to be feminine and pretty and demure, but is stuck with the same personality Sokka has, so that sort of thing escapes her. On top of that, as the eldest child of the chief when the younger son is a gentle soul, I can see Hadoka choosing to train her as a warrior for the good of the village.
On the subject of Sokkani's feminity:
>One of the character types I was playing around with for Sokka in the other thread, was that of the chatty, overstyled hairdresser type of woman.
An utterly opinionated and self-confident motormouth of a woman that loves to accessorize but tends to overdo everything in the process.
Maybe she even makes strange ointments and salves and are supposed to bring out the inner beauty, when she's not drawing up plans.
>I have the mental image of Katar returning to the camp after some errant or so, only to find Aang sitting there in some sort of seaweed based beauty mask as Sokkara does his nails.
>I also think the gender reversal makes the roles of Katara and Sokka more interesting. Because Katar would still be the team mom, while Sokka's aloofness would translate into some kind of responsibility-shy party gal. In fact Sokka would dodge most of the conflicts Katara got into, because she wouldn't want to get involved.
>Take the northern Watertribe. She wouldn't change the system, rather she'd run along with it until it gets in her way and then find a loophole or simply ignore it. Whichever is less work.
Pakku would blow a gasket with her around.
