Description okay, so i have a theory. ty lee just never seemed fire nation to me. she is totally an air nomad. i have my reasons though: gray eyes and brown hair are air features rather that fire. her whole overall face is actually very similar to aangs. she is very spiritual with all her talk about auras and such. she has a carefree air nomad-esque attitude. with only a few minor changes and new color scheme, her outfit is air nomad. no one else in the fire nation had a braid like her. she said she ran away from home and want to be different than her family, acting like a fire nation citizen would work. and finally the big one: she can jump like 20 feet in the air! even in the avatar world non-benders can't do that.

so these are my crazy reasons and apparently there are other fanfics and stuff about this too. so, thats pretty cool that i'm not the only one.

this was really fun to draw (even thought i can't draw her face right to save my life!) the outfit is basically her pink one with a few minor changes: got rid of the subtle shoulder spikes, made the bottom of the pleates rounded, shorter pants layered hair and undone braid...and the necklace. the colors are based off of aangs outfit almost exactly.

faves and comments please!

Considering the theory that Jinora is descended from Ty Lee, I completely agree.

I agree ENTIRELY with you. She just seems too... Jumpy and energetic to be fire nation.

I agree, she seemed very Air Nomadish. Maybe she has Air Nomad in her blood?

Hmm, never actually thought about that, but it does make sense.

Cool idea

Pakku had gray eyes. Xin Fu (the Earth Rumble tournament announcer) has gray eyes. Mai has gray eyes.

But, I do agree with you, she is very similar to Aang. In fact, I have started an AU where Ty Lee joins the Gaang, playing up all the features you talk about. She meditates and senses people's spirits.

I'm not sure what a braid has to do with anything. Katara is the only other character we see with a braid . . .? Yangchen and the female air nomad from Appa's flashback have their hair down.

Lovely picture!

Ha, a lot of those points are actually good ones. This would be interesting, Aang could teach her "the ways of their people" and whatnot.

totally, because after aang dies, who will teach the next avatar airbending?

JoeMerl In reply to KatieKreations [2010-07-03 18:04:04 +0000 UTC]

Yeah. Though I also sort of hold out hope that at least some of his future children will wind up being Airbenders too, so that could help.

Great idea. Yeah, she may have some Air Nomad ancestry with her gray eyes.

i know! i always kinda wished they would introduce her as a descendant of someone aang knew.
