[Her brow knit together and she opened her mouth just enough to show her teeth before she realized that he's right. Slumping back in her chair, she crossed her arms and blew out whatever guff of air she had pent up for a retaliation.] Fine.
[Taking a deep breath, she starts off:]
My world has Four Nations. The Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. Sometimes people are born with the gift to bend.
That is, they can manipulate the element of the nation they were born in. So a firebender would be from the Fire Nation and an earthbender would be from the Earth Kingdom.
[Korra actually gives a fleeting grin. Whenever she gave that example, it was always with Mako and Bolin in mind.]
Now the Avatar is actually the spirit of the planet in physical, human form and exists to maintain balance in the world. Mostly when it comes to bending since the Avatar is the only one who can bend more than one element. All four actually, and I’ve got them all down. Well, I’ve almost mastered Air anyway.
[Both her feet go onto the desk and she idly sways her boots back and forther while explaining.]
When the Avatar dies, their spirit gets reincarnated to a bender from the next nation in the cycle. Earth, Fire, Air, and Water is the order it goes in. I was born in the Southern Water Tribe, which means the last Avatar was an Air Nomad. Each time the Avatar is born, they have to learn the elements and fulfill their role as protector of the people.
There's also the Avatar's connection to the Spirit World, but I haven't had much experience with that part yet. [She is just seventeen after all. Not a spiritual prodigy like SOME OTHER Avatars were.]
Oh. And I can also talk to the spirits of the past Avatars, but that's kind of a new thing for me.
