@ PrincessXipil Thanks a lot. (I've made an account now, lol)

@ 2nd Nony: That's a great idea, about the functional family.

It's interesting to note, too, that Korra specifically refers to her training place as being "locked up like a prisoner." We don't know what the mental health facility is like, but you can bet that it has security, if you're dealing with Azula. She "escapes" from being confined.

And hoo boy, what does Probending NOT represent? Azula was defeated by water pulled out of a grate beneath her feet. HMMMM. Sounds familiar. The defeated fall into water. The prevalence of the element essentially is the weight on her pride from being defeated. Her yearning to probend is the yearning to prove herself. Earthbenders, who are otherwise juggernauts in land combat, are reduced to hurling disks. Maybe this is how she views the EK: ineffectual to the extreme. (The playing field is very leveled for firebenders, who use acrobatic moves anyway, and don't rely on the ground, aside from balance.)

Oh, and while we're at it, let's talk about how Korra has an affinity for fire, despite all canonical evidence that this shouldn't happen.
