~Background~
she had two children: Sokka and WaterBender_Katara. It is clear that Kya was loved and missed by her children and husband.
According to a legend told by Katara, one winter, when Kya was a young girl, a snowstorm buried the whole village for weeks. A month later, Kya realized she hadn't seen her friend Nini since the storm. She and some others went to check on Nini's family, but when they got there, no one was home, just a fire flickering in the fireplace. While the men went out to search, Kya stayed in the house. When she was alone, she heard a voice, "It's so cold and I can't get warm". Kya turned and saw Nini standing by the fire. She was blue, like she was frozen. Kya ran outside for help, but when everyone came back, Nini was gone. Smoke is sometimes seen floating out of the chimney, like Nini is still trying to get warm. Since this is a ghost story, it is unknown whether or not it is accurate though Katara insists it's a true story.
When her daughter, Katara, was ill with a cold, Kya used to make a special paste out of blubber and pepper berries and rubbed it on the little girl's chest.
~Personality~ Kya is a caring, loving mother, establishing a strong bond with both her children, notably Katara. An extremely courageous woman, she would willingly sacrificed her life to save her daughter, revealing that she harbored deep maternal instincts and felt highly obligated to protect her family at any cost
