I think its a stretch to assume that Katara has never met any of her three grandchildren before simply because the five year old doesn't recognize her.

I grew up with a pretty big family and the amount of times I’d meet a distant relative just for me to forget who they were was numerous. Sometimes kids just don’t remember people, even those they’re related too and especially those that live a flying bison distance away.

When did your grandmother become a distant relative?

I can see how I didn’t word that properly. I meant distant as in far away distance wise, not distant as in bloodline. My bad haha. As a kid a lot of my family lived in Portugal while I lived in the US, so I tend to call them distant relatives since I only see them here and there due to distance, which is definitely misleading wording on my part.
