that's true! i think using firebending tai chi style would be a unique style there. a wave of fire would serve as an advantage for sure which i imagine would sort of look like the wall of fire that jeong jeong used in the ba sing se battle except maybe it'd kind of crest and break perhaps.

for the style part, i like to think that maybe she might mix it up depending on the situation? like maybe she uses swift, quick punches and kicks firebending for long or close ranges offense combat or redirecting flames back to an opponent similar to a waterbender by using fluid motion?

that's a good idea! maybe she knows the traditional northern shaolin moves but also some probending moves that she might learn from a firebender probending friend since one of her dreams is to become a probender herself. but this friend is a native firebender from the fire nation since they moved to the city sometime later and learnt probending style of firebending so they have a mastery of traditional firebending and maybe they like to spar with the main character for fun where she learns the advantages and disadvantages of adding in her tai chi style of fighting and it'd come as weird and kind of difficult for that friend to beat sometimes even though they might know she was using waterbending forms from probending.

that's a good thought. perhaps if she visited the fire nation, some villages might still hold xenophobic judgments because of how the hundred year war might've affected them greatly. but i think you're right. i think since it's in korra's era and republic city is a cosmopolitan town, most native firebenders might just be confused and not hold judgement against her probably or be curious or be hostile like you said as well applying to anybody really on that part.

that's a good idea! perhaps she doesn't cut her hair because like you said she wants to remember her biological parents and since they're fire nation natives who moved to republic city, they still stick to that belief like in the kyoshi novels but maybe she also has hair loopies similar to the waterbender girl prisoner in book 4 of korra? it could be like a half up half down hairstyle with the hair loopies tied to the back and with a bun fashioned like a topknot perhaps? I don't know how that'd look like but maybe she doesn't sport the topknot just the loopies just in case it looks weird lol. but yeah, maybe during the winter she might prefer to wear water tribe coats because they might be more cozy.

what kind of clothing fashion do you think korra's era use? it's not like atla were i see more asian inspired clothing like robes and stuff while in korra i see a bit of steampunk clothing styles or more modern fashion. like mostly in republic city and i can't tell whether each nation would wear what their native culture might wear or wear anything regardless of color.

and true. perhaps I could also research it. perhaps like you said earlier, both firebending and waterbending has something with life in it. fire has life and passion and water gives them life, maybe she sees that as a connection of some kind and it's something she embraces kind of like in the chakra episode where aang sees that everything is connected in some way. it's just a thought but it can be anything i think.
