My favorite headcanon is Kaya spent way too much time with Uncle Zuko and it shows.
She was definitely taking notes from him. From the hairstyle to the facial expressions (and I’ve gathered plenty of screenshot proof). 😄
The new art of young Kaya II from her solo comic, along with the leaked footage from the upcoming "The Legend of Aang" movie, has officially convinced me of one incredibly precious detail.
Have you noticed Kaya’s hairstyle? Look closely at those loose side-bangs and the way her hair is framed. Now look at Uncle Zuko.
This is now my official headcanon: Zuko, our favorite dutiful 'girl dad', used to braid young Kaya's hair when she was a kid because it was the only hairstyle he actually knew how to do by himself!
He probably just learned a simple, practical style that also happened to be traditional in the Fire Nation, and little Kaya loved it so much that she decided to stick with it.
Young Kaya to Elder Kaya: Consistently pulls her hair back and leaves those long side-bangs. This is pure Zuko (or even young Azula) aesthetic. It is a very distinct fashion marker of the Fire Nation.
It’s so interesting how Kaya completely avoids traditional Water Tribe hairstyles for some reason. Water Tribe hair is always all about intricate braids, elaborate twists, ponytails, and a bunch of authentic accessories like blue beads, ribbons or hair wraps.
This isn't a traditional Water Tribe style at all. It is uniquely Uncle Zuko's style. He was the closest family friend, and this detail basically screams that he was that "cool uncle" who spent a lot of time babysitting the kids.
Uncle Zuko hairstyle… and fighting style.
The facial expression identity between these two characters just amuses me so much😅:
I just can't stop comparing screenshots of these two. I have no idea how much time Zuko spent with this family for their daughter to completely pick up his facial expressions.
Either that, or I have a very serious question for Katara.😏
