Worthyness Wrote:(1) Maybe the fact that Hama used blood bending on a tunnel full of fire benders/innocent civilians and hid them in a cave? (2) The fact that maybe her fellow prisoners saw how she escaped? (3) Maybe how the guard she blood bent told his superiors and spread rumors? (4) Or the two people that Katara blood bent- the first captain of the ship she thought was the guy who killed her mother (he didn't die). Anyone who didn't die from being bloodbent probably went on to tell their kids stories and then water benders hear of it and try it on the full moon. Who knows who else Hama told when she got taken to prison. Rumors spread--> people start abusing it--> outlawed.(1) The fire nation village she terrorized did not know she was a Waterbender; they just thought she was some sort of witch.
(2) Hama says she and Katara are the last Southern Tribe Waterbenders (kind of funny since Katara is trained in the Northern Tribe style), so it's likely that her companions are dead.
(3) In the fire nation, I wouldn't reveal that a prisoner escaped. :/ She also could've killed him, I don't remember exactly what she does to him.
(4) Katara only bloodbent one person outside of the Hama incident. Again, he had no clue what was going on.
The key is knowing that there is water in everything. Everyone who was bloodbent in ATLA did not know that the water in themselves was being bent, they either thought there was some magic or were just confused as to what was going on.
