You raise good points, and they're in alignment with things I've been working to figure out on my own.<br/><br/>The original reason Asami came back in time was to save Korra from dying, and especially because she was in the Avatar state when she did so. (This is not canon, by the way.) She intended to only go a few days back, but something went wrong. In our original narrative, things got<em>really</em>fucked up, culminating in the near-destruction of the world, but Asami was able to finally fix her time device. It was all very dramatic. But without being guaranteed that end, the character is in limbo, and I'm not entirely certain what to do with her. Without the Korra connection, she loses a lot of her meaning for me, so making her a "native" doesn't really work out for me.<br/><br/>tl;dr without a guaranteed plot progression, which I'm not willing to set in stone, Asami is out of place, you're right.<br/><br/>Question is, what to do instead? I didn't have my eye on anyone else beyond Ty Lee, really. Jun is a possibility.
