In An Alternate Universe...

by Eversong

((ooc))
 
For this week's prompt, we are to consider what type of bender our characters would be if they were in the ATLA universe or, if not a bender, what they would do instead. The choice for Eversong struck me pretty easily, and I promise it's not because I'm biased: Firebender.
 
There are two reasons for this. First, I think she'd keep with her celestial theme, and stars are literally just balls of actual fire suspended in space. It would make sense for her to want/be able to wield the forces of fire. Perhaps the strength of her fire could change much like Azula's blue fire, but more in keeping with the different life stages of a star: pale yellow when she was young, more golden/orange during adolescence and early adulthood, bright red and raging and vibrant during the peak of her adult life, a mix of blues and reds and oranges as she ages, and white once she hits old age at the end of her life.
 
Secondly, Eversong is a being driven almost solely by her emotions. She feels her feelings and feels them *deep*. As such, she would have a massive wellspring of power that she could draw from to fuel her firebending. Love, fear, passion, anger, confidence, resentment. All of her feelings would be the driving force behind her crusade, molding her into a formidable ally or opponent indeed.
