At the start of the series, Kanna is introduced as the grandmother to Katara and Sokka, initially suspicious of Avatar Aang when he first awakens from the iceberg but hopeful once his status as the Avatar is revealed.
Fueled by that hope, she wishes Sokka and Katara well on their journey north as they set out to train Aang in the bending styles of all four elements -- including finding a waterbending master to help hone Katara's skills. From what we learn later on , Kanna should know exactly what master Katara would find in the north. When the Gaang reaches the North Pole, they learn there are sexist customs that forbid women from learning waterbending aside from the art of healing. Katara is enraged and challenges Pakku -- the old master enforcing the tradition -- to a duel.
While Katara fights capably, she ultimately loses, but in the scuffle that ensued, Pakku discovered a familiar betrothal necklace around Katara's neck. It was the same one he gave Kanna decades ago before she left the Northern Water Tribe in protest for their custom of arranged marriages.
The crisis shook Pakku out of his stubborn obedience to such outdated practices, and with his perspective refreshed, he set out southward to reunite with Kanna. By the end of the original series, he reports that his reunion was successful and by the comics they even get married, meaning the two live happily ever after. And if you think about it, that may be just how Kanna planned it. Kanna would have known that Katara would meet Pakku if she headed northward and that her old flame would recognize the betrothal necklace.
Though she never told Katara of the necklace's history, she knew her granddaughter cherished it as a family heirloom and similarly knew Katara's stubborn individualism would clash with Pakku's. From where she sat, the dominos were all perfectly set in place. After the Siege of the North , Kanna reunited with Master Pakku, who had ventured to her home with some other people from the Northern Tribe in order to provide assistance in rebuilding the Southern Water Tribe.
Several weeks after their wedding, Kanna reunited with her grandchildren in the capital city that had been built up from their original village in the South. After embracing them, she informed them of her marriage to Pakku, Hakoda's tales of their accomplishments during the war, and that their father had been elected head chieftain of the entire Southern Water Tribe.
Having returned to town that night after escaping from Southern nationalists, Sokka and Katara were slightly amused to find that while everything else of the old village had been torn down, Kanna had kept her hut, now situated between two modern buildings. The following night, Kanna looked over Hakoda, who was brought to her hut after being stabbed by Gilak. Once he had regained consciousness, Kanna assured her grandchildren that she and Pakku would take care of him and said they could see him in the morning.
Before they could leave, she mused that wounds were caused by wrong actions based on wrong beliefs and concluded that someone needed to reexamine their beliefs. That sparked an argument between her grandchildren over whom she was referring to: Gilak, or Malina and Maliq. Unable to find common ground, the siblings left to speak with Aang and Toph, but Kanna soon emerged from the hut to find Malina outside and announced that Hakoda wished to speak with her.
Following the rescue of Hakoda from Gilak's clutches, Kanna hosted a small feast in her hut for Team Avatar and several of their allies. Although she was uncomfortable with other people cooking in her kitchen, Pakku persuaded her to relax and enjoy the festivities. Despite not being a waterbender, Kanna knew a great deal about healing and medicine. She often prepared herbs to make into medicine for her village, [13] and often made rubbing pastes to treat colds.
