The Circassian superwoman: ✨Lashin✨

In our folklore we have a story of a woman named Lashin who had extraordinary strength that she defeated the mongol’s strongest wrestler.

The Mongol army who around that time swept through the north Caucasus challenged the Circassians to bring in their strongest wrestler to fight their wrestler Qaisin.

The Circassian chose a woman named Lashin and dressed her up in men’s clothing to disguise her. Lashin was able to pick up Qaisin, defeated him and emerged victorious. It was said the reason why they chose her is that her father in law once witnessed Lashin pick up a big cow in anger and managed to throw that cow several distances away.

The Circassians later revealed her identity and this time requested another duel without her disguise. Out of fear the Mongols declined and retreated from Circassia. It was said the duel took place near the chegum river known as Lashinqey named after her.

The story does have different versions with minor differences.

People really underestimate this relationship and favor Katara’s grief over Aang so much that we never really get to see fan art of her and her brother. Ultimately, I feel like Sokka’s death had the potential to hurt her the most - especially if we consider that Aang could have died before him, and she was all she really had left. But that’s all speculative.

Folk pop/rock/metal suggestions

Last time I've made a post about folk music from Central/Eastern Europe and Balkans, a lot of people reblogged and answered with interesting songs and artists. Now it's my turn to give you what for me are simply *chef kiss*
