"I'm the Avatar. The person destined to keep balance between the people. The Avatar is reborn once into every generation, and lives among people so that she or he can better understand them. I'm pretty sure that's why I have all of the bending abilities, too. Easier to get into the minds of the Fire Nation when you're able to wield fire," she shares, taking a seat on one of the large stone barriers around the lighthouse.
