Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplayer rides the waves as stunning Katara Chonibu\/NickelodeonOne cosplayer and Avatar: The Last Airbender fan has absolutely blown our minds with her amazing take on the best (and only) water bender from the Southern Tribe \u2013 Katara herself. In Avatar: the Last Airbender, Katara is actually the character who first discovers the lost Aang frozen inside of an iceberg floating near the South Pole. From there, she goes on to be a key part of Team Avatar, and has without a doubt become a favorite for fans of the series. Thus, cosplayer \u2018chonibu\u2019 decided to take a swing at portraying her own Katara \u2013 and we think it\u2019s pretty safe to say she absolutely knocked it out of the park. Chonibu almost perfectly recreated the character\u2019s iconic blue tunic, and her hairstyle is a dead ringer for the water bending master. Really, the only thing missing is the necklace Katara got from her mother, which the cosplayer admitted she\u2019d forgotten because she was so excited to take pictures of her creation. \u201cThis costume was a pretty easy piece to make,\u201d chonibu told Dexerto. \u201cI got most of it done in about two days. The part that gave me trouble was this swirly thing on the bottom of the dress\/tunic, which required a lot of pins and yoloing underneath the sewing machine. I also got so excited to take photos that I completely forgot her necklace.\u201d Why she chose Katara is interesting, as well; yes, she\u2019s an awesome character in the show, but chonibu\u2019s decision to portray her didn\u2019t stem from just that fact. \u201cI chose to make Katara\u2019s costume partly because I could use my real hair (trying to shove long, curly hair in a wig is a pain),\u201d the cosplayer admitted. \u201cI think as a character, she is stronger and more inspiring than I could ever be at 14! And I\u2019m so glad that ATLA is on Netflix, because it\u2019s one of my favorite shows of all time (and also my dad\u2019s).\u201d As for what\u2019s next on the horizon for chonibu, she told Dexerto she\u2019s definitely interested in portraying Katara, Korra, or even Sokka\u2019s forlorn love, Princess Yue. \u201cI have actually made Katara\u2019s fire nation outfit and one of Korra\u2019s outfits!\u201d chonibu revealed. \u201cOne of my dream shoots is to make Katara\u2019s winter outfit or cosplay Princess Yue and shoot in the snow.\u201d Whatever she decides to do next, as long as it\u2019s on the same level as her Katara, we\u2019re sure it will be out of this world (especially if she picks Yue \u2013 sorry, Sokka).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
