Because the ability to herd cats like that at age 14 isn't reason enough? :) Seriously, she manages to be Team Mom for a group of highly-opinionated and, quite frankly, dangerous kids. All of whom have a slightly-questionable track record with parents (her and Sokka win that contest by a mile). But in other stories where "Team Mom" might preclude any "kick ass and take names" moments, well, Katara's always been able to give as good as she gets, and then some. Practically self-taught waterbending master? Why isn't she amazing? :)
