Katara was born within the ancient land of Scythia,

A Homeland for a Tribe of Amazon's living in seclusion from the modern word. As Katara would grow up she would be trained in combat as a warrior and taught the ways of priesthood by her mother. Spending her time praying in temple alongside her mother learning how to properly honor and worship the gods so they will keep them safe.

As time would pass and Katara would grow she would quickly gain the reputation of being the most beautiful women of her tribe. Dark black hair, sun kissed golden skin, and a set of jewel green eyes that sparkled like emeralds. To say she was gorgeous would be an understatement. The term Mythical Beautiful. For as beautiful a compliment it would be...would come to be truer then sadly anyone could have imagined...as even a God would catch eyes for the young Katara.

One day while caring for her ailing mother Melina. Katara at 18 would be propositioned for her hand in Marriage by a Demigod. Promised a life up on Mount Olympus! Worshipped by Mortals till the end of her days! All if she would just leave her people and say yes!
The marriage had been already ordered by Lord Zeus. She had to say yes. At this point it was just a formality to ask her.

The rest of her tribe would absorb the news with glee and honor. A God. A god! A Demigod, but a god, nonetheless. Had come down from the heavens and asked for the hand. One of the Amazon's of Scythia would be raised on High as a Goddess. As the young Katara would feel nothing but fear at the prospect of marriage. It gave her a sinking feeling in her stomach that in all the years of hearing the outright admonishment of men. That a male god had so casually stepped on the shores and been welcomed in.
And what now was she supposed to do...Mary? Leave Scythia, leave her tribe, leave behind her humanity even to live amongst the gods? Leave her mother? While she was still ill. While she could still lose her if she was not by her side.

The Demigod would soon return for an answer and Katara would reject him. Choosing to stay by the side and care for her mother till she was healthy...as the god did not take this well. As he would grow furious at her rejection. So furious in fact the young god would place a curse on Katara!
