I'm thinking that the first reply is correct. Remember that all Avatars are their own person. Each with a different personality. It was stated that the Avatar spirit is a manifestation of the earth's spirit. It resides in a human body in order to understand and care about humanity so it can protect humanity. So my thinking is the Avatar spirit enters a human body, reincarnating as that person's spirit immediately after an Avatar dies. I'm not sure how clear I'm making myself, but that's how I think it works.
