  • A lot of bending ability comes down to personality. Being adaptable, forceful, consuming, or evasive makes you good at bending. Being rigid, timid, pacifist, or stubborn makes you bad at bending. Katara sucked at waterbending when the show started because she was a stickler for the rules. She always had a nurturing element, but she also had to learn to go with the flow. Toph was a child prodigy at earthbending because she has an incredibly forceful personality. But it’s not something her parents taught her, she had to cultivate it within herself.
