[[caption-width:350:[[HereWeGoAgain She's at it again.]]]]
The sequel to the fan comic ''FanFic/HowIBecameYours'' based off of the show AvatarTheLastAirbender, How I Became Yours: Rise Of The Agni Army is a fancomic created by Jackie Diaz and co-authored by a fellow named Patrick BP. Ms. Diaz was notorious for continuous tracing, stolen photographs, and bad Photoshops within the first comic. While only one partial chapter has been released so far, it seems that she's up to the same old shenanigans.
The comic starts off much as the first one did with a dream sequence flashback. In this, it shows an attack on the fire nation from the perspective of Lilith, Zuko and Katara's daughter. She wakes and after a short argument with her brother, Kuzon, they both leave to train. While training, they both experience flashbacks about the their time at the water tribe immediately following the attack. Once this ends, we move on to Poe, Aang and Toph's son, who is causing trouble. Ling, his twin sister, stops him and these two also have an argument before Ling buries him up to his neck in the ground and walks off. Then we get to see Miracle, Sokka and Azula's daughter, as she interacts with two children in the North Pole in a filler scene...which leads to another flashback sequence of the treatment Lilith and Kuzon received in the Water Tribes due to their unorthodox parentage.
The comic is located right [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/albums/album/3188421#mssrc=SitesPhotos_SP_AlbumCover_ViewAlbum here]]. It can also be found [[http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx265/ReneeLuvsZutara/ here]], if and when Ms. Diaz friendslocks ''this'' comic too.
----
Tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Agni Army. May or may not be [[{{Narm}} corny]].
* AerithAndBob: Lilith? What is a Biblical name doing in a FantasyCounterpartCulture to East Asia?
** The same could be said of Miracle as well.
** There's also Poe. Not "Po," as in Po from KungFuPanda or Chien-Po from {{Mulan}}, or the similarly-pronounced "Pau," but "Poe," as in "Edgar Allen."
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lilith and Kuzon in the Water Tribes.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Poe acts a lot younger than his sixteen-or-so years, supposedly as a coping mechanism to get through the grief of the war and [[spoiler: his father's illness]]. This gets on Ling's nerves, so of course she is perfectly [[SarcasmMode perfectly justified]] in earthbending a rock so he hits it face-first at high speed and sinking him neck-high into the ground [[DudeNotFunny which would break his nose and make it very hard for him to breathe, respectively.]]
* ArmiesAreEvil: [[MalevolentMaskedMen Monster masks]], [[ShouldersOfDoom impossibly huge shoulder pads]], led by a{{Yandere}} DesignatedVillain and her [[EvilIsSexy sexy]], [[PsychoForHire psychotic]] brother? Yeah.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The awkward anatomy of some of the poses, poor genealogy of the kids mentioned below, and her very very strange hands, it seems that Ms. Diaz still only has a questionable grasp on the basic structure of the human body.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Lilith breathes fire while doing a handstand. The flames execute a perfect right angle - supposedly to show wind or something - so that it looks like she has a big, fiery tongue waggling over the cliff. First off, no wind would do that; it'd just dissipate the fire, making a huge smoky mess. Second, even if Lilith ''is'' a firebender, no bender in the show displayed that level of control over flames, so AWizardDidIt doesn't cut it. All in all, it just looks ridiculous.
* BerserkButton:
** It turns out... insulting Zuko and Katara in front of Lilith is a ''really bad idea''.
** Poe is really touchy about his hair.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Mai and Sho.
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: Zuko]]. The massive chest wound [[CaptainObvious probably has something to do with it]].
* BrotherSisterTeam:
** Lilith and Kuzon.
** Ling and Poe.
** Mai and Sho.
* BullyingADragon: The bullies quickly learn why one shouldn't pick on a daughter of the Fire Lord...
* ButtMonkey: Poe seems to be stepping into this role, having been on the receiving end of two [[AmusingInjuries Amusing Injuries]] already.
* CherryBlossoms: Photoshopped into the first panel.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: When in Water Tribe territory, Kuzon and Lilith wear red parkas. Never mind that those parkas would have to be especially made for them, in a place where red dye is presumably hard-to-find. And never mind that they are already set apart enough from the Water Tribe children with their mixed breed looks.
* ConspicuousCG: Not ''quite'' as bad as the first comic - more effort can be seen in the polar backgrounds, for example. However, the first panel is still quite obviously a photo of the Forbidden Palace.
* CutAndPasteComic: Like its predecessor, painfully obvious at times. [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549947#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549947} Lilith's]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549948#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549948} rampage]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549948#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549949} for instance]] is pretty clearly just the same image flipped three times.
* DeadGuyJunior: Kuzon is named after Aang's old friend, from before the war. [[spoiler: He's also named for his [[ConvenientMiscarriage conveniently miscarried]] elder brother, making him a twofer.]]
* DeathByWomanScorned: [[spoiler: Mai]] is done being Ms. Nice Guy.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest:
** The comic starts off with [[spoiler: Zuko and Katara both dying]].
** Judging from Ling's comments, [[spoiler: Aang, at least, is about to go the same way]].
* DelinquentHair: Just remember, Poe's hair does ''not'' look like a "porky pine's ass." [[BerserkButton Even if it does]].
* DelusionsOfEloquence: Like the prequel, it is peppered with this trope. The most {{Egregious}} example is on the poster. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evocation Evocation]] is not used that way, unless of course the commentor is saying this story is a demon brought out of the pits of hell. Considering the fact that he's the co-author of the sequel, it's reasonable to assume that is not what he meant at all.
* DifferentAsNightAndDay: Ling and Poe.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ling thinks Poe is acting childish, so she sinks him up to his neck in earth. This leaves him open to being run over by unsuspecting carts, stepped on, and/or possible suffocation if it is hard enough for him to breathe. This, after his joy ride through the city ''hadn't'' permanently harmed anyone, and just as he was apologizing for the argument he had with his sister afterwards. And yet Ling is supposed to be the sympathetic one.
* DramaticWind: Right on the poster, too.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: According to the cover picture, Mai suffers a little from this. Sho pulls it off and makes it [[EvilIsSexy sexy]], as per the usual.
* EvilWeapon: One is implied to be involved in [[spoiler:Katara]]'s death.
* FantasticRacism
* {{Flashback}}:
** Miracle has one of these about the poor treatment her cousins received from Water Tribe children after [[spoiler: their parents died and they had to live with their aunt Azula]].
** Lilith and Kuzon also have flashbacks to the time they first arrived in the Water Tribe during their TrainingMontage.
* FlashbackNightmare: Lilith's nightmare of the attack on the Fire Nation in the beginning.
* FloatingHeadSyndrome: The cover/poster for this comic.
* FriendToAllChildren: Miracle, apparently. She strikes the fear of God (or Agni, whatever) into a couple of kids who accidentally hit her with a ball during play, [[DisproportionateRetribution threatening heavy punishment for a small offense.]] Then, she smiles and asks if she can play with them. And she had almost looked like the ''real'' Azula too...
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Aang is still silently begging the universe to end his pain. [[spoiler: Wish granted]].
* HandOfDeath: When Lily meets [[spoiler: Zuko's murderer]], there's a close-up of the person's hand holding a knife dripping with blood.
* HalfBreed: Lilith and Kuzon, being among the most visibly biracial, get the brunt of the drama that is the result of this trope. Miracle doesn't for some reason...either the Water Tribe is more accepting of her because the Moon Spirit healed her, or they just got used to her. It's a non-issue for Poe and Ling.
* HesDeadJim: Two scenes so far use some form of this.
** [[spoiler: Zuko]] is nonresponsive and has a case of BloodFromTheMouth, with Lilith providing the typical PleaseWakeUp reaction.
** [[spoiler: Katara]] has the arm falling shot, with Lilith taking the [[ImColdSoCold I'm Cold...So Cold...]]
* IfICantHaveYou: In the first comic, [[spoiler: Mai]] was very careful to exclude [[spoiler: Zuko]] from her revenge scheme. It seems that that has changed, because [[spoiler: she is obviously Zuko's "mysterious" killer]].
* ImColdSoCold: Somewhat inverted. Lilith says it rather than [[spoiler: Katara]].
* InadequateInheritor: Poe is scolded for being too irresponsible to live up to his parents' fame. Subverted in that a random old man is scolding him for this reason, not his parents. Averted in that he's exactly like Aang was in his younger days, only more destructive.
* InTheHood: The character who kills [[spoiler: Zuko]] wears a hood that hides everything except for one burning yellow eye. One guess as to [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil who that is]].
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Amon]]?
** [[IKnewIt That would be awesome]]. Unfortunately, it's probably [[spoiler: Mai]].
* KidsAreCruel: Whatever you may think of Lilith and Kuzon... those Water Tribe kids were hitting way below the belt. And they ended up regretting it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: It bites {{Designated Hero}}es [[spoiler: Zuko and Katara]] in the ass with ancient curses and good old-fashioned knife work.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: The Agni Army, of course.
* MartialArtsDoNotWorkThatWay: Apparently Lilith's firebending training consists of stretching, randomly breathing fire, and doing slow-motion somersaults.
* OnlySixFaces:
** The Water Tribe children look exactly like the young Kuzon and Lilith, with only their eye colors, skin tones, and hairdos changed.
** Also, there's one old man who appears in [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72040958#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A72040958%7D two]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72350180#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A72350180%7D places.]] If this keeps up, he'll be the next Cabbage Merchant.
* OrphansOrdeal: Two confirmed cases of this among the children, with at least another two on the way.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: Sokka and Azula for Kuzon and Lilith]].
* PleaseWakeUp: Lilith to [[spoiler:Zuko]].
* PluckyComicRelief: Poe has the least angst of all the teenagers, so he becomes this by default.
* PrettyInMink: Azula and Miracle both have fur trim on their dresses.
* RagingStiffie: Kuzon seems [[BrainBleach disturbingly]] aroused by his bending practice.
* RecycledSoundtrack: During her [[spoiler: death scene]], Katara manages to copy lyrics, nearly word for word, from Disney/{{Tarzan}}'s "You'll Be In My Heart." That's saying nothing of the [[TheLionKing Mufasa]] and [[StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]] quotes that follow ''in the same text bubble.''
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: On the cover page picture, "heroes," is spelled "heros".
** "Your going to have too talk about it sooner or later Lily."
** "Porky pine"
** Amusingly, Ba Sing Se is spelled as '''''Bong''''' Sing Sai.
*** ...but not very surprising considering that Toph's surname "Bei Fong" was spelled "Befong" more than once in the predecessor.
* SceneryPorn: The photographic backgrounds return!
* ScheduleSlip: Ms. Diaz has not updated this comic for months now, which is surprising, given how consistent she was with updating HowIBecameYours.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Standard equipment for the Agni Army. Which only emphasizes Sho's naturally big shoulders even more.
* SiblingsInCrime: Mai and Sho.
* SiblingYinYang: Poe is a hyperactive bad boy in training. Ling is a responsible young woman who acts like Poe's mother when the parents aren't around. TheyFightCrime.
* SpinOffspring: The entire purpose of this comic.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The girls train and go into combat wearing [[http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx265/ReneeLuvsZutara/Rise%20of%20the%20Agni%20Army/ outfits]] that are basically bikinis...except in the case of Lilith, who wears a few strips of cloth wound perilously around her nether regions.

* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lilith, Ling, and Miracle all look almost exactly like their mothers; Kuzon and Poe take after their fathers, only Poe has hair and a distinct lack of Aang's trademark airbender tattoos.

[[caption-width:350:[[HereWeGoAgain She's at it again.]]]]
The sequel to the fan comic ''FanFic/HowIBecameYours'' based off of the show AvatarTheLastAirbender, How I Became Yours: Rise Of The Agni Army is a fancomic created by Jackie Diaz and co-authored by a fellow named Patrick BP. Ms. Diaz was notorious for continuous tracing, stolen photographs, and bad Photoshops within the first comic. While only one partial chapter has been released so far, it seems that she's up to the same old shenanigans.
The comic starts off much as the first one did with a dream sequence flashback. In this, it shows an attack on the fire nation from the perspective of Lilith, Zuko and Katara's daughter. She wakes and after a short argument with her brother, Kuzon, they both leave to train. While training, they both experience flashbacks about the their time at the water tribe immediately following the attack. Once this ends, we move on to Poe, Aang and Toph's son, who is causing trouble. Ling, his twin sister, stops him and these two also have an argument before Ling buries him up to his neck in the ground and walks off. Then we get to see Miracle, Sokka and Azula's daughter, as she interacts with two children in the North Pole in a filler scene...which leads to another flashback sequence of the treatment Lilith and Kuzon received in the Water Tribes due to their unorthodox parentage.
The comic is located right [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/albums/album/3188421#mssrc=SitesPhotos_SP_AlbumCover_ViewAlbum here]]. It can also be found [[http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx265/ReneeLuvsZutara/ here]], if and when Ms. Diaz friendslocks ''this'' comic too.
----
Tropes:
* AddedAlliterativeAppeal: Agni Army. May or may not be [[{{Narm}} corny]].
* AerithAndBob: Lilith? What is a Biblical name doing in a FantasyCounterpartCulture to East Asia?
** The same could be said of Miracle as well.
** There's also Poe. Not "Po," as in Po from KungFuPanda or Chien-Po from {{Mulan}}, or the similarly-pronounced "Pau," but "Poe," as in "Edgar Allen."
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Lilith and Kuzon in the Water Tribes.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Poe acts a lot younger than his sixteen-or-so years, supposedly as a coping mechanism to get through the grief of the war and [[spoiler: his father's illness]]. This gets on Ling's nerves, so of course she is perfectly [[SarcasmMode perfectly justified]] in earthbending a rock so he hits it face-first at high speed and sinking him neck-high into the ground [[DudeNotFunny which would break his nose and make it very hard for him to breathe, respectively.]]
* ArmiesAreEvil: [[MalevolentMaskedMen Monster masks]], [[ShouldersOfDoom impossibly huge shoulder pads]], led by a{{Yandere}} DesignatedVillain and her [[EvilIsSexy sexy]], [[PsychoForHire psychotic]] brother? Yeah.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: The awkward anatomy of some of the poses, poor genealogy of the kids mentioned below, and her very very strange hands, it seems that Ms. Diaz still only has a questionable grasp on the basic structure of the human body.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Lilith breathes fire while doing a handstand. The flames execute a perfect right angle - supposedly to show wind or something - so that it looks like she has a big, fiery tongue waggling over the cliff. First off, no wind would do that; it'd just dissipate the fire, making a huge smoky mess. Second, even if Lilith ''is'' a firebender, no bender in the show displayed that level of control over flames, so AWizardDidIt doesn't cut it. All in all, it just looks ridiculous.
* BerserkButton:
** It turns out... insulting Zuko and Katara in front of Lilith is a ''really bad idea''.
** Poe is really touchy about his hair.
* BigBadDuumvirate: Mai and Sho.
* BloodFromTheMouth: [[spoiler: Zuko]]. The massive chest wound [[CaptainObvious probably has something to do with it]].
* BrotherSisterTeam:
** Lilith and Kuzon.
** Ling and Poe.
** Mai and Sho.
* BullyingADragon: The bullies quickly learn why one shouldn't pick on a daughter of the Fire Lord...
* ButtMonkey: Poe seems to be stepping into this role, having been on the receiving end of two [[AmusingInjuries Amusing Injuries]] already.
* CherryBlossoms: Photoshopped into the first panel.
* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: When in Water Tribe territory, Kuzon and Lilith wear red parkas. Never mind that those parkas would have to be especially made for them, in a place where red dye is presumably hard-to-find. And never mind that they are already set apart enough from the Water Tribe children with their mixed breed looks.
* ConspicuousCG: Not ''quite'' as bad as the first comic - more effort can be seen in the polar backgrounds, for example. However, the first panel is still quite obviously a photo of the Forbidden Palace.
* CutAndPasteComic: Like its predecessor, painfully obvious at times. [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549947#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549947} Lilith's]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549948#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549948} rampage]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72549948#{%22ImageId%22%3A72549949} for instance]] is pretty clearly just the same image flipped three times.
* DeadGuyJunior: Kuzon is named after Aang's old friend, from before the war. [[spoiler: He's also named for his [[ConvenientMiscarriage conveniently miscarried]] elder brother, making him a twofer.]]
* DeathByWomanScorned: [[spoiler: Mai]] is done being Ms. Nice Guy.
* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest:
** The comic starts off with [[spoiler: Zuko and Katara both dying]].
** Judging from Ling's comments, [[spoiler: Aang, at least, is about to go the same way]].
* DelinquentHair: Just remember, Poe's hair does ''not'' look like a "porky pine's ass." [[BerserkButton Even if it does]].
* DelusionsOfEloquence: Like the prequel, it is peppered with this trope. The most {{Egregious}} example is on the poster. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evocation Evocation]] is not used that way, unless of course the commentor is saying this story is a demon brought out of the pits of hell. Considering the fact that he's the co-author of the sequel, it's reasonable to assume that is not what he meant at all.
* DifferentAsNightAndDay: Ling and Poe.
* DisproportionateRetribution: Ling thinks Poe is acting childish, so she sinks him up to his neck in earth. This leaves him open to being run over by unsuspecting carts, stepped on, and/or possible suffocation if it is hard enough for him to breathe. This, after his joy ride through the city ''hadn't'' permanently harmed anyone, and just as he was apologizing for the argument he had with his sister afterwards. And yet Ling is supposed to be the sympathetic one.
* DramaticWind: Right on the poster, too.
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: According to the cover picture, Mai suffers a little from this. Sho pulls it off and makes it [[EvilIsSexy sexy]], as per the usual.
* EvilWeapon: One is implied to be involved in [[spoiler:Katara]]'s death.
* FantasticRacism
* {{Flashback}}:
** Miracle has one of these about the poor treatment her cousins received from Water Tribe children after [[spoiler: their parents died and they had to live with their aunt Azula]].
** Lilith and Kuzon also have flashbacks to the time they first arrived in the Water Tribe during their TrainingMontage.
* FlashbackNightmare: Lilith's nightmare of the attack on the Fire Nation in the beginning.
* FloatingHeadSyndrome: The cover/poster for this comic.
* FriendToAllChildren: Miracle, apparently. She strikes the fear of God (or Agni, whatever) into a couple of kids who accidentally hit her with a ball during play, [[DisproportionateRetribution threatening heavy punishment for a small offense.]] Then, she smiles and asks if she can play with them. And she had almost looked like the ''real'' Azula too...
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Aang is still silently begging the universe to end his pain. [[spoiler: Wish granted]].
* HandOfDeath: When Lily meets [[spoiler: Zuko's murderer]], there's a close-up of the person's hand holding a knife dripping with blood.
* HalfBreed: Lilith and Kuzon, being among the most visibly biracial, get the brunt of the drama that is the result of this trope. Miracle doesn't for some reason...either the Water Tribe is more accepting of her because the Moon Spirit healed her, or they just got used to her. It's a non-issue for Poe and Ling.
* HesDeadJim: Two scenes so far use some form of this.
** [[spoiler: Zuko]] is nonresponsive and has a case of BloodFromTheMouth, with Lilith providing the typical PleaseWakeUp reaction.
** [[spoiler: Katara]] has the arm falling shot, with Lilith taking the [[ImColdSoCold I'm Cold...So Cold...]]
* IfICantHaveYou: In the first comic, [[spoiler: Mai]] was very careful to exclude [[spoiler: Zuko]] from her revenge scheme. It seems that that has changed, because [[spoiler: she is obviously Zuko's "mysterious" killer]].
* ImColdSoCold: Somewhat inverted. Lilith says it rather than [[spoiler: Katara]].
* InadequateInheritor: Poe is scolded for being too irresponsible to live up to his parents' fame. Subverted in that a random old man is scolding him for this reason, not his parents. Averted in that he's exactly like Aang was in his younger days, only more destructive.
* InTheHood: The character who kills [[spoiler: Zuko]] wears a hood that hides everything except for one burning yellow eye. One guess as to [[TrailersAlwaysSpoil who that is]].
** [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Amon]]?
** [[IKnewIt That would be awesome]]. Unfortunately, it's probably [[spoiler: Mai]].
* KidsAreCruel: Whatever you may think of Lilith and Kuzon... those Water Tribe kids were hitting way below the belt. And they ended up regretting it.
* LaserGuidedKarma: It bites {{Designated Hero}}es [[spoiler: Zuko and Katara]] in the ass with ancient curses and good old-fashioned knife work.
* MalevolentMaskedMen: The Agni Army, of course.
* MartialArtsDoNotWorkThatWay: Apparently Lilith's firebending training consists of stretching, randomly breathing fire, and doing slow-motion somersaults.
* OnlySixFaces:
** The Water Tribe children look exactly like the young Kuzon and Lilith, with only their eye colors, skin tones, and hairdos changed.
** Also, there's one old man who appears in [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72040958#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A72040958%7D two]] [[http://www.myspace.com/47931544/photos/72350180#%7B%22ImageId%22%3A72350180%7D places.]] If this keeps up, he'll be the next Cabbage Merchant.
* OrphansOrdeal: Two confirmed cases of this among the children, with at least another two on the way.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: Sokka and Azula for Kuzon and Lilith]].
* PleaseWakeUp: Lilith to [[spoiler:Zuko]].
* PluckyComicRelief: Poe has the least angst of all the teenagers, so he becomes this by default.
* PrettyInMink: Azula and Miracle both have fur trim on their dresses.
* RagingStiffie: Kuzon seems [[BrainBleach disturbingly]] aroused by his bending practice.
* RecycledSoundtrack: During her [[spoiler: death scene]], Katara manages to copy lyrics, nearly word for word, from Disney/{{Tarzan}}'s "You'll Be In My Heart." That's saying nothing of the [[TheLionKing Mufasa]] and [[StarWars Obi-Wan Kenobi]] quotes that follow ''in the same text bubble.''
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: On the cover page picture, "heroes," is spelled "heros".
** "Your going to have too talk about it sooner or later Lily."
** "Porky pine"
** Amusingly, Ba Sing Se is spelled as '''''Bong''''' Sing Sai.
*** ...but not very surprising considering that Toph's surname "Bei Fong" was spelled "Befong" more than once in the predecessor.
* SceneryPorn: The photographic backgrounds return!
* ScheduleSlip: Ms. Diaz has not updated this comic for months now, which is surprising, given how consistent she was with updating HowIBecameYours.
* ShouldersOfDoom: Standard equipment for the Agni Army. Which only emphasizes Sho's naturally big shoulders even more.
* SiblingsInCrime: Mai and Sho.
* SiblingYinYang: Poe is a hyperactive bad boy in training. Ling is a responsible young woman who acts like Poe's mother when the parents aren't around. TheyFightCrime.
* SpinOffspring: The entire purpose of this comic.
* {{Stripperiffic}}: The girls train and go into combat wearing [[http://s762.photobucket.com/albums/xx265/ReneeLuvsZutara/Rise%20of%20the%20Agni%20Army/ outfits]] that are basically bikinis...except in the case of Lilith, who wears a few strips of cloth wound perilously around her nether regions. Could also be a really bad case of [[ExposedToTheElements Exposed to the Elements.]] [[IncrediblyLamePun *ducks rotten fruit*]]
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Lilith, Ling, and Miracle all look almost exactly like their mothers; Kuzon and Poe take after their fathers, only Poe has hair and a distinct lack of Aang's trademark airbender tattoos. The only difference is that their eye colors are all changed to reflect the opposite parent.
* SuddenSequelDeathSyndrome: [[spoiler: Katara and Zuko]]. Also [[spoiler: Aang]], [[ScheduleSlip eventually]].
* TakeCareOfTheKids: [[spoiler: Katara]] does this toward her brother.
* ThemeTwinNaming: Ling and Poe both have names that sound [[{{Mulan}} suspiciously familiar.]]
* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: The artist tries to downplay Mai's involvement with the raid on the Fire Nation by making the character look ominously anonymous. Unfortunately, Mai is prominently displayed on the first poster, and given that [[spoiler: Zuko's murderer]] is a knife-wielder with a grudge against the royal family, it's pretty easy to figure out who she is.
