Not sure that these are plot concepts but there's a few questions I think need to be answered still, most likely in IC:  1) what events have made Zuko a charismatic leader?  If we take Zuko at the beginning of the show not many people would willingly follow him.  Through his quest to find the Avatar he grew, thanks to Iroh's influence, and became a capable leader.  If Aang doesn't wake up and just remains submerged in an iceberg while Osai and Azula conquer the Earth Kingdom, what exactly has happened to Zuko to transform him into the person he is when the game begins?  Also, I'm a bit confused with Zuko's claim as the "rightful heir to the Fire Kingdom".  Did Osai restore his position or did something else happen to help Zuko claim that honorific?<br/><br/>Seriously, we take Aang out of the picture and a whole lot changes.<br/><br/>Also, about Aang.  He was frozen for 100 years in an iceberg and didn't age a day in the show.  If Katara and Sokka didn't free Aang from the iceberg when they did, how is Aang the same age as everyone else?<br/><br/><br/>Just a few quandaries I had.<br/><br/>As for Toph.  I think she should be seen as a lady befit of her station and place within Azula's court.  If she'd never run away with Aang and gang, she would've remained with her parents.  Azula's interference would remove Toph from her overprotective parents, but I don't see Azula allowing Toph to behave or act in a way that could bring embarrassment to Azula.  What's more, with Azula on her side, Toph's need to rebel and act out against her parents would be subdued.  After all, if she was recognized for the great Earth bender she is and elevated to a position above her parents and the other nobility, what's left to rebel against?  This, of course, isn't going to make Toph nice.  "Might makes right", after all, and being the world's greatest Earth bender comes with a lot of might.  While she might appear to be a lady, she would still be hedonistic.  Her tastes would simply be more refined.  Sleeping on the ground and stuffing Appa's shedded fur in her shirt just wouldn't do it for her any more.  I see Toph being loyal to Azula, just as she was to Aang in the series.  She'd also likely see Azula's cause as right and just.  Hell, it's the first time the world has had peace in 100 years.  Also, seeing Azula conquer Ba Sing Se without firing a single shot (I'd assume that would still happen with or without the Avatar) and not traveling with Aang would likely have kept Toph from learning about some of the atrocities that occurred in the war.  Of course, by the time she learned about Lake Laogai, she'd already formed a belief that there was a need for such a place.<br/><br/>I also think that Ba Sing Se should have a large population of people who've been hypnotized/brainwashed into accepting the way things are.  Which would help give a veneer to Aang, Toph, and anyone else that things are "good".<br/><br/><br/>Not sure I've seen the entire season of Legend of Kora.  In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm missing some of the beginning and middle.  Can't say I've been as impressed as I was with The last Air bender.
