Katara and Aang’s relationship in Avatar: The Last Airbender is way more than just being the main couple. First and foremost, they were best friends, and then they gradually became each other’s chosen family. The two of them went through a lot together, through all the highs and all the lows.
Both of them took on the great responsibility of saving the world from the Fire Nation's wrath. During their adventures, there were many times when they were faced with life-threatening dangersーbut they always had each other’s backs and managed to pull each other out of some sticky situations.
10 Katara: Broke Him Out Of The Iceberg
Katara was the last remaining waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe. Only a handful of people left at the South Pole and outsiders barely visited it.
Aang had been frozen in the iceberg for a hundred years. It was only because she was in the right place at the right time with the right powers that he was finally able to break out of the iceberg. No one else would have been able to break the iceberg. If not for her, he might have stayed frozen there indefinitely.

6 Katara: Saved Him From Combustion Man
In 'The Runaway,' Combustion Man led Katara and Toph into a trap with Fire Nation citizens' help. After imprisoning them in a wooden jail, he went off to hunt and kill Aang. Katara made water out of her sweat to break out of jail. Meanwhile, Aang fell while trying to run from Combustion Man.
The mercenary walked up to him and was about to blast him into pieces when Katara intervened. She froze his head with ice, so he could not use his power, giving everyone time to escape safely.
5 Aang: Saved Her From A Fire Nation Soldier
In ‘The Painted Lady,’ Katara disguised herself as the Painted lady to help the people of a Fire Nation village. She asked for Aang to help her fight General Mung and his men.

Sokka had his space sword in his hand, and she used bloodbending to push him and Aang towards each other at an incredible speed. The blade was about to impale him when Katara stopped it using bloodbending on Hama. Even though she had not wanted to use such a twisted bending method, she did what she had to save Aang.
3 Aang: Saved Her From A Fire Nation Attack
In ‘The Winter Solstice Part 2: Avatar Roku’, the Avatar Gang was trying to reach the Fire Temple, but they were met with a Fire Nation navy blockade. General Zhao ordered his soldiers to fire cannonballs at them. Aang, with the help of Appa, dodged most of the balls.
However, one of the cannonballs was heading straight towards them with no option of dodging it. Aang jumped to action and blasted it away with his airbending. Without his intervention, everyone would have been toast.
2 Katara: Gave Him A New Life
In ‘The Crossroads of Destiny,’ Azula shot Aang with a bolt of lightning just as he was going into the Avatar State and killed him in doing so. Katara took his limp body and escaped the Dai Li agents, Zuko, and Azula with Uncle Iroh's help.
