I'm on Tumblr now~ reblog [link]
----------------------------------

Is that only me, or someone else also want to see how TLOK is related with ATLA, it just made me so sad knowing that all those awesome characters are not living any more...

I was doodling korra while missing those characters... then, somehow end up this piece: Korra's firebending training... with Azula. I know it's impossible, but it really doesn't matter cuz I just want to see it (I want to see korra in Fire Nation old style outfit as well!). Don't take it seriously~

From ep2, we can see that although Korra can bend three elements in her early age, she's not fully master them. She needs some advanced training. And I think her best fire bending teacher should be Azula. Not only because she's a fire bending prodigy, but also consider their personality: Korra is implusive energetic and unpatient, while Azula on the opposite, composed, sober-mind, and carefully plan every movement. If we leave the bad-good issue, I think Azula is the perfect teacher for training the young Avatar. It would be interesting to see how they would interactive with each other.

Apparently, this is not gonna to happen, because they live in different timeline. So let's ignor the age issue. Azula is about 26,27 here, cus I want to make her more look like a master (Wait...master Azula?... now this sounds wierd...), while Korra is a bit younger than she is in the show.

----------------- some "non-sense" additions-----------------

You may notice that Azula is bending colorful fire here, and she dosen't ware her princess hair artifact.(This version only avalible in DA). Here is my headcanon story behind it, just a very brife outline of what happened to Azula afterward, again, just for fun and self-statisfication, don't take it seriously:

A month after Zuko's coronation, a king from north-east Earth kingdom (My OC "Lin Qi"_蔺碁, nick name "Rock Dragon") paid a visit to fire nation. He not only congratulated new firelord Zuko but also offered him a deal: An agreement of forever peace between his land and fire nation to trade Azula's freedom. Although no one knows why he ask for this, Zuko has no choice but to accept it to secure his kingdom. However he asked Aang to take Azula's bending away before she left Fire Nation.

King Lin Qi brought Azula back to his teritory. He tried many ways to treat her mental danmage but little help. Knowing her bending ability had been took away, Azula fell into even deeper depression. until one day, Lin Qi heard the legend of sun warriors, and brought Azula to the dragon "ran" and "shao", where she was cured completely and miraculously learnt how to bend colorful fire. Those warmest flame melted the block deep in her heart and the true meaning of fire also helped her repenting herself.

Azula never returned Fire Nation after that, she cut off all relations with the fire nation royal family and rarely use fire bending again. She donated rest of her life to the Earth Kingdom, helped the man, who had saved her from death and promised her a lifetime love, to administer their land.

* I'm not gonna to write all the story, but maybe I'll bring some drawing or a short comic late on.

One reason why I think Azula could be a perfect firebending teacher for Korra is because Azula is strict XD And sometimes in the series, I feel Korra uses her "I'm the avatar" card a bit too much and I can imagine Azula saying "So what. I don't care who you are. You are my student. Now do 500 squats or perish!" XDDDD

She takes no sh*t from anyone! Even the next avatar! XD

I don't know why, but Korra looks more awesome as a fire bender than a water. Love the art, and I like the flames you did with Azula.
