1. In that episode I kept thinking "Kid, you are missing the point." 2. Word. 3. Dismissing feelings = bad.
I'll have to rewatch The Runaway, I can't remember which one it is. Was it the con-artist one?
Oooh, tough. I do not know most fandom opinions of Suki, besides "She's awesome!" which I already agree with. Okay, here goes with Katara:
1. I don't see her as mothering. She seems a lot more like a older sister than a younger one, but she acts her age a lot more than the fans give her credit for. I think part of the "She's the mother!" comes from her usually being the...slightly more mature one, since she's contrasted with two 12-year-olds and Sokka.
2. I'm pretty sure at some point, she will use bloodbending. I will be disappointed if she doesn't it's be really shitty writing to introduce such a thing and then not use it, especially since Toph uses her metalbending. She used it to stop Hama (she did, right? I'm not misremembering?) and I feel that this war is so close to home for her, she will go far to end it. With the hate issues you brought up in mind, at some point in battle it'll snap that these enemies took away her mother. Maybe Sokka'll bring it up during his planning. Ideally, Katara'll use it against Ty Lee, equating body-control with the Ty Lee's chi-blocking technique.
3. I think she'd be a terrible Fire Lady. The Painted Lady episode shows she doesn't hold the actions of the Army against the people, but then again this was a village on the water. She was in the war-council in Ba Sing Se, and was respected... She does seem to enjoy travelling the world, but homesickness would make it awfully sucky to be stuck in a place so different and burny.
I guess I feel she's a good leader, but not a stationary one. She's got travel experience, compromising tactics, and a strong will. I say she'd make a good traveling emissary for the Water Tribes.
...why does no one suggest dragging Zuko down to the Southern Water Tribe instead, if they have to be together? He could help keep people warm, and show that the new, peaceful Fire Nation is willing to be vulnerable.
If you feel like doing more, how about Captain Jack Sparrow?
