To elaborate:
PART 4: Hearthstone as an airbender
Although Hearth can control both water and fire in canon, I thought airbending would fit him, since he is often described as graceful and light with a sarcastic and kind personality.
However him growing up in the air temples didn’t make sense because a big part of his character was formed by family (Andiron’s death and his abusive father.) So hear me out: an airbender from the fire nation. My headcanon is that he is a descendant of an airbender(like Kyoshi) but still born in a FN noble family. Bonus points if Andiron was a talented firebender and Hearth didn’t discover his bending until he ran away.
His clothes are that color because 1. He needs to look different from Sam 2. He wouldn’t care what nation’s color he is wearing since he spent some time homeless/as a runaway 3. For some reason I can’t draw him without a blue/purple color pallette.
PART 2 : Samirah Al-Abbas as an airbender
Samirah can fly in canon, she has strong beliefs in her religion, and she can be calm and badass at the same time. I thought airbending could be perfect for her. Also, in Avatar Wan’s era, there were several female airbenders with head coverings, so Muslim-representing air nomads were an interesting topic to explore.
Magnus Chase x Avatar Part 1/? : Magnus Chase as a waterbender Magnus’s primary demigod power is healing, so I decided to make him a healer waterbender. His powers also included some airbending abilities but I think his personality and other qualities fit water better than air. It’s ironic how he hates blue(water tribe color) and wolves(also prevalent animals in water tribe). However, I think this irony can make Magnus in this AU more interesting because it makes sense for his mother to be killed by wolves like the canon.
