Ty Lee: Part Air Nomad

[Lain]

I'm betting a lot of people are thinking the same thing: does Ty Lee have Air Nomad blood in her veins? She does seem a lot like one of the Air Nomads: she has grey eyes, she's a lot slimmer than other Fire Nation girls, and she's care-free and agile. All of these are traits of the Air Nomads. Coincidence? I think not.

If she is part Air Nomad, who do you think her ancestor is? I'm leaning toward Afiko the Betrayer from the TCG card, who aided the Fire Nation in the genocide of the Air Nomads. Since he was a loyal servant of the Fire Nation, he would be considered amongst the nobility, which would account for Ty Lee's noble standing.

You know this brings up an interesting question, maybe the Airbenders didn't so much get wiped out as they became absorbed by the other nations. It would stand to reason that some Fire Nation citizens sheltered Air Nomads and perhaps they joined their families and produced descendants of mixed heritage. The same could be said of other nations. So, when the Avatar Cycle comes around to Air again, it could be from any of the remaining nations. The cycle remains preserved.

Anyone wish to discuss or comment?

[A.]

Maybe... But airbenders don't look at pressure points to fight.... That is a very good and interesting theory...

[kelshaychan]

That is a really good theory now that I think about it. She doesn't really have the physical traits of fire nation people like the golden eyes or the dark brown hair. She could very very far down in the lineage of airbenders.

grand theory.

[parabola]

Hmm interesting theory.

[Zero]

O.o I should have seen this coming...

Your theory is very well thought out, Lain!

[Kataang]

DID YOU MAKE THAT?! IF SO, HOW?!

[golfman]

this is quiet interesting but I dont think this will ever be explained though

[Kumai290]

I doubt it, your theory is good there is just one flaw, I remember the creators saying somewhere that ALL Air Nomads were benders (because they were so spiritual, more spiritual=more benders). So that would mean that any decent of the air nomads would have to be a bender, which Ty Lee obviously isn't.

And about Firenation hiding Air Nomads, well that would allow the Avatar to be reincarnated so I doubt it.

and the Air Nomad Tratior, wasn't he eventually killed by the firenation, they may have killed his family too

[A.]

Well.. Maybe their family escaped soon before.. Maybe Ty Lee just hasn't discovered the fact that she might be and airbender.... It doesn't necessarily have to be that family. It could have been another family.. Maybe their living similar to the way Hamma did, except that they didn't escape from prison.

[Kumai290]

Well hasn't she sneezed once before in her life, that would prove if she were an airbender or not. I just doubt it, but who knows.

BTW: The gray eyes thing, aren't Suki's eyes gray too

[sukiwarrior91]

Suki's eyes are gray.

That is an interesting theory about some airbenders hiding out and blending with the other nations. That would mean that the avatar cycle would continue, but they'd A. have no way of determining who the avatar was and B. if they did happen to find the person they'd have no way of learning airbending

[kataangkisses]

I don't think so she has the eyes of the fire nation one of the main traits.

She just keeps fit as she is in the circus she would have to be. The TCG cards have not been used for proof before and i don't think they will be proper proof.

This is a good theary but i just don't see ty lee as air nation.

[secretfox]

interesting theory but I doubt it

[pokemonlovergrl]

I love tylee!!!! she is funny!
