The Last Airbender made its debut in 2005 on Nickelodeon and captivated viewers with its mature themes and epic story. Its story about a monk named Aang who can control the elements of Earth, Water, Air, and Fire has become a cultural phenomena.

The Last Airbender begins with Katara and her brother Sokka discovering Avatar Aang trapped in ice. The heroine eventually becomes his waterbending master, and helps him learn to control his powers.
Prolific artist cutiepiesensei transformed into the popular character, and wowed with her faithful outfit. The cosplayer posed in Katara’s blue Southern Water Tribe attire, and nailed her iconic hair loops.
The artist’s side-by-side shot recreation of the waterbender went viral, as her costume is packed with details. She even captured Katara’s signature choker necklace, which we later learn was a betrothal gift given to her by her grandma.
