She explains how she was a little girl when the war was relatively young, and she spent her early life in the Southern Water Tribe as a warrior. The Fire Nation had been fearful of the Avatar's rebirth into the Water Tribes, however, so one by one they captured the Water Benders, taking them away, leaving them in horrible Prisoner Of War camps, with virtually no water to bend or space to move. Hama broke out years ago, and has spent the rest of her life trying to forget her painful imprisonment.
Gleeful at having met water benders from the same tribe, Hama and Katara immediately bond, and Hama accepts to teach Katara, as she knows how dangerous is can be for a Waterbender in strange lands. She has a variety of skills to share - the ability to form water out of vapor, or suck it out of plants.
Something is still out in the woods, making people disappear, and the rest of the Gang investigates what must surely be spiritual phenomenon, even though there seems to be nothing to upset the spirits in such a beautiful town. However, they come across a hidden cave in the woods, where Fire Nation citizens have been imprisoned - controlled by their own bodies at the full moon, like some puppetmaster was controlling them. The gang realizes that Hama has discovered the darkest art of Bloodbending, controlling the fluids in another living thing, and has been using her abilities to wreak revenge on the nation which imprisoned her. But how are you supposed to fight someone who can control your body?

Thegang realizes that Hama has discovered Gaang then discovers Hama's even ''darker'' secret- she is the darkest art of one who's been imprisoning the townspeople. Her use-the-water-in-the-environment tricks came from developing Bloodbending, controlling a disturbing art that uses the fluids full moon power boost to allow a waterbender to control the water in another living thing, human blood. Hama used this ability in her breakout, and has been using her abilities now uses it to wreak get revenge on the nation which imprisoned her. But how are you supposed that treated her so badly. She's become twisted by her obsession, and she wants Katara to fight someone who follow in her footsteps. Katara naturally refuses, so Hama forces her hand by using bloodbending against her, Aang and Sokka. Katara can control your body?use her own waterbending to resist Hama, but Aang and Sokka aren't so lucky. Katara is forced to use Hama's technique against her, and although Hama is captured and the day is saved, Katara can't easily escape Hama's last words to her:

* BaitTheDog: Katara is thrilled to find a woman like her in the Fire Nation of all places: a Southern tribe waterbender who was a war prisoner and casualty. Hama in turn treats her and the kids kindly, housing them for free in her inn and cooking traditional water tribe dishes. Then the others find out that Hama have been kidnapping the villagers who had nothing to do with her imprisonment. Hama then reveals that she intends to teach Bloodbending to Katara, and won't take "no" for an answer.

** Hama is quite civil to the children, initially. She also forgives them for prying around her house, albeit since it allows her, Katara and Sokka to bond over their water tribe roots. While her kindly demeanor is a mask, it seems she wasn't lying about the latter part.
** The Fire Nation wouldn't murder their prisoners, for what little that counts. Hama describes that instead the waterbenders were chained up while given enough water to live.
