"The actions we took had consequences, it was our duty to take them responsibly"
In a world where Korra escapes from the South Pole and upon arriving at the Air Temple she only meets Tenzin, who is being overwhelmed by his new role as minister, he cannot go with her to train her because he promised to take over that position.
Why? Well, her niece, Dawa, is about to give birth and she must take her leave from the council.
Korra manages to be accepted on the island and now she will learn there, and she can also find out more about her mysterious teacher, a seemingly solitary Tenzin who only surrounds himself with his acolytes... Although, when the sun rises, a young lady with a sullen expression appears out of nowhere and calls her teacher "father."
Where did it come from?

Hello! I've come up with a rather ambitious AU, sorry if the approach is so ambiguous, below you will have some visual support for two original characters that "influence a lot"
π»Dawaπ»
I'm not going to be mysterious, playing connect the clues is Korra's job, not ours jsjsjs
Dawa is a 34-year-old airbender, a minister in Republic City, and the first granddaughter of Avatar Aang and the Beifong Clan.
She is a cheerful woman who is always looking for a way to help. She is going through her first pregnancy, so she has decided to distance herself from the council. Tenzin, being the good guy that he is, has offered to cover for her during her leave.
She has trouble seeing from a distance so she carries her glasses with her, Korra wouldn't meet her until the party that Tarrlok organizes.
She was fortunate enough to grow up with Aang, she learned her bending from him, she spent a lot of time at the Island Temple so she is also close to the acolytes and her uncle Tenzin.
Yes, she is Lin's daughter, and she had her when she was around 17, so her upbringing was the responsibility of the entire family (Katara, Aang, Tenzin, Suyin, etc.) a group effort to allow Lin to finish the police academy.
When Aang died Dawa was 18 years old, it was a pretty hard blow for her because she saw him as a father figure.
She spent years on pilgrimage as a form of therapy, not settling in Republic City again until he was about 28.
She often clashes with Lin, but they love each other quite a bit. She had a distant relationship with her father, Bumi, in her childhood, but they became quite close when she manifested her element.
She has problems relating to her siblings, and deeply fears that she won't be able to be a good mother, so she puts it off quite a bit.
π«Yesheπ«
She is the second daughter, she is 17 years old and unlike her sister she did not live with Aang, she was barely one year old when he died.
She is very similar to Lin, both physically and emotionally. She was born and raised in Republic City, primarily in Temple Island.
Although she is almost the same age as Korra, she doesn't meet her until she arrives on the island. Their close age allows them to make friends fairly quickly; she is more of a bawd than she seems.
She has a very bad relationship with Dawa, but it's even worse with Bumi, she doesn't even call him father and avoids hanging out with him at all costs. She's a mama's girl through and through, she wants to be Lin's pride at all costs, she knows she can't be "the world's favorite" because unlike her brothers she doesn't bend air and she's self-conscious about it, but at the same time she's the only one who can be seen as "Just a Beifong" and she clings to that title with her nails.
Lin was more present in her upbringing so they are closer, there is a conscious effort to not let Yeshe develop the same tendencies as Lin, but that's okay, Yeshe doesn't want to just "follow in her mother's footsteps", she wants to take care of her, so she will put on the uniform and stand up against crime.
When Yeshe was very little there was an attempt by Lin to separate herself from Bumi so he was not present in her daily life, that made Lin's work life difficult until Tenzin began to give support, Yeshe ended up seeing him as her father and refuses to take away that title.
Yeshe may not really remember it but both Aang and Toph were present for her birth and pampered her to bits.
Aang was more aware of the damage he had done to his children through favoritism and misinvested attention; he did not want his granddaughters to grow up under that umbrella.
After all, they were both his little princesses.

One child is missing! But little Tsarlis will have his own post.
This is a rewriting job too so I'll take some time between each post about it (As with everything, I'm very scattered, you know that)
And that's it, we'll go into more detail about this story, but if you're curious about something, you can ask (?)
Anyway, we'll be reading each other again~
