Hmm, I’m not sure how an earthbender would be able to do it since they can bend minerals, so rocks, sand, mud, crystals, etc, but a waterbender would definitely be able to be a plantbender!

loose ideas for characters!
avatar group boy - airbender - senge - an airbender living in the earth kingdom. his mother and uncle left the air temples as children, and hid away in the earth kingdom when the majority of air nomads where wiped out. while his uncle decided to wander the world and uphold the air nomad way of life, his mother settled down and married an earthbender, staying in the earth kingdom to raise a family. when it became clear senge was an airbender, his mother taught him the basics- but forbade him from using his bending in public unless there was an emergency. unable to use his bending in obvious manners, senge then turned to music as a way to harness and improve his skills. while he was a skilled musician to begin with, he's been pushing himself to use his bending to play multiple instruments at once, and has dreams of traveling the earth kingdom as a self-declared one man band. prolly around 15/16.
group two boy - firebender - tarou - mostly known for his father's achievements, tarou is a young firebender who's lived his whole life in the fire nation. while not the strongest of benders, he spent most of his life locked up in libraries- absorbing as much info about the world as he could find. he's studied maps and legends of all the kingdoms- anything he thinks the fire nation could use to finally win the war. his father is a well-renowned military strategist, who all but encouraged his son's quest for knowledge. while not the most dedicated soul when it comes to tracking down and killing the avatar, he knows that it's his best chance to make a name for himself instead of just relying on the influence of his family. prolly around 18???
group three girl - nonbender - naja - vaguely related to the chief of the northern water tribe (idk maybe niece or like grandniece, if that's okay???), naja is the last person one would expect to be trying to help the avatar avoid the alliances clutches. however, after seeing the war's destruction firsthand she finds it hard to take her family's side- especially after finding out that some of her own tribe left after the alliance was made. she had 0 trust for any firebender, and is a strong believer that once the fire nation is done conquering the earth kingdom they will betray the northern water tribe. while not a bender herself, she is a skilled warrior, and almost always had a weapon on her. prolly like 17? maybe??? why are ages so hard hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

okay just gonna casually add in descriptions of my main three kiddos thus far.
Ziro is my 16 year old mess of a non bender. I'm largely thinking that's she's a dancer for performances done in??? either the earth kingdom or fire nation tbh. Ziro is a very "go with the flow" sort of person and her philosophies are often highly associated with her craft and the movements that go with it. She's?? honestly excited for a day where she can go off and learn more kinds of dances than she currently knows. I'm fairly certain that she currently lives fairly?? stationary with her family in a busy city at the moment where she does all of these sorts of performances. She enjoys party and activity and talking and lots of people, she just also wants to get the chance to venture out one day and get many more different kinds of experiences as well, outside of the ones she currently knows. tbh there's a lot to be?? figured out... might have some kind of pet but ??? eh who knows Group 1, open to friends, relationships, family, etc
Kotam is a 17 year old waterbender under the water/fire alliance, something he was admittedly born into in some part given that he and his twin sister, Sairen, are the children of Fire Lord Asone and Konren, the previous avatar's brother. There's a lot of similar information to Sairen's blurb of info, given that they were raised to be be highly efficient in many ways, ranging from their ability to fight to their diplomacy, etc. I'm fairly certain the only person Kotam is comfortable being around is Sairen, and everyone else generally gits into a category of "you exist and I'll interact with you if I need to." Having mastered waterbending, Kotam finds slight enjoyment in both being underestimated and immediately proving that wrong sort of thought completely wrong, often through means of chaos and destruction. The balance to this? He can be a bit of a doofus at times, and is jokingly bitter at the fact that the moon was the first waterbender when all other types of benders have some kind of animal to teach them. He absolutely takes pride in his heritage and what it means for him, it leads to an abundance of overconfidence and very likely to look down on others he view don't meet his standards. He's gonna end up stealing a snow leopard caribou as a ride, though I feel like he probably had a mount previous to this so ???? who knows. (Am debating a personal messenger hawk??) Group 2, open to friends, relationships, and ???? yeah
Hayo is my 18 year old earthbender girl. She grew up in Ba Sing Se in the upper ring, her mother raising her. Her parents had both been much more active soldiers up until 15 or so years ago, wherein her father never came home and her mother took her to the Earth Kingdom's capital. As Hayo got older, she questioned why her father wasn't with them and got no answers in return. In fact, her mother was always extremely tight lipped about anything regarding Hayo's father and the life they had before Ba Sing Se. Hayo didn't learn until recently that her father had been one of the members involved in the assassination of the avatar and was likely killed after doing so by the alliance. Added in with the fact that Hayo's entire childhood has been surrounded by people who actively talk about what terrible people the fire-water alliance are, Hayo's view of them has collapsed to the point she won't even think about the fact that they could be redeemed after what they've done. She's extremely cautious and paranoid around firebenders and waterbenders now regardless of their actual position in the war. However, in learning about the fact that the previous avatar is dead, which means there's a new avatar somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, she's become determined to try and find him. She's??? very limited in her views and opinions and comes across as a very no-fun strict and serious gal. She has a pygmy puma (yet to be named) that she's raised from a cub after having went down to a lower ring. (either lowkey stole an eelhound, a shirshu, or an ostrich horse), there's probably more I could figure out Group 3, open to friends, relationships, probably family, etc
+ just side characters for my reference Fire Lord Asone - firebender, mother to Sairen and Kotam Namah Kang - earthbender, Hayo's mom

Ok ok ok. yes
Legit you said that and now all I can think of is them as kids being brought to ~important alliance meetings~~ because of their parents and just being forced to sit at the kid table while the adults discussed the war.

Hi yes, Creamy, I love all your characters
Also yess!! Just, these three sitting in on meetings, low key growing up together, Sairen is probably really confused as to why Naja would leave

Sairen is fine, she’s confused when people leave the alliance because in her opinion, it’s the best option
She probably was sort of awkward around Naja but considered her Sairen’s version of a “friend”

See, I feel like Sairen is confused mostly, she probably thinks Naja just broke under the pressure and will come back sooner or later, but I also feel like she’d be a lot more crushed if they ran into each other later and Sairen actually realized “oh you left left”

Okay sorry if these aren’t the best today has been ~a day~
Yuze — Nonbender A nonbender from the earth kingdom, there’s nothing all that special about him. He comes from a pretty “normal” family for the most part. He’s a pretty go with the flow dude, very level headed and typically the voice of reason when things get tense or are looking stressful. He’s wise and thoughtful, especially for his age, and is known to surprise people with his ideas and thoughts about things. He also understands that there are never truly “good” or “evil” sides and that each side to things have their pros and cons. He likes to look into both sides of the story before making any decisions for himself, and while he’s more than likely going to remain on neutral ground, he’s not above leaning more to one side than the other if he feels like that would be helpful in the long run. Despite all this he’s still young and has a playful, carefree side to him as well. He can be something of a jokester and prankster - so long as they remain harmless. Yuze’s just a wise, neutral dude that’s still a young boy at the end of the day and that’s gonna show up from time to time. Open to anything really. He’s already friends with Pen Lu but certainly open for more. 15
Katsitsanoron — Firebender While she’s a firebender, she actually comes from a proud, respected family within the northern water tribe that pride themselves for being pure waterbenders with a few nonbenders mixed in. While it’s not known to her or her family, she had an ancestor that was a firebender but played the part of a nonbender once they became interested in a waterbender. That’s how Katsi got her firebending, but it’s not known to her or her family as of yet. Once it was discovered she was fire and not water her family was not happy with that at all. It even started some talk about her mother having a secret affair with a firebender despite that not being what happened at all. From there Katsi was volunteered for the group to hunt down the avatar for the water and fire alliance. Some of her family secretly hopes it’s a mission she doesn’t return from while others are making this a mission for her to prove her worth and if she succeeds she can basically be welcomed back into her family. Now she’s kind of in the middle of an existential crisis while trying to take this mission seriously. She has no time for playing around or joking, she just wants to get this over with and prove herself. Katsi does like to take charge but she’s definitely on the bossy side, can be snappish and easily annoyed, and she’s honestly just on the edge of losing it and snapping and falling into complete self doubt. She’s also extremely ashamed of her firebending and would rather pretend she’s a nonbender than work on her skills so she’s certainly at a lower level with her bending than expected from somebody from her family and age. Open to anything. 19

Here are some quick descriptions of my characters in case anyone is interested in forming bonds:
Avatar Gang Lady: Hikari -- A firebender who was orphaned but was raised by firebending masters. She is quite tightly laced and she views bending as an art. She has traditional views of everything and could be considered by some to be rigid. Also conscientious, though. About 16 years old.
Group 2 Lady: Zhilan -- A female nonbender from the earth kingdom. She has some sort of personal vendetta against the avatar? She is snarky and sly but otherwise charismatic. Carefree and perpetually salty. Rides an eel hound? About 18 years old.
Group 3 Dude: Khandro -- A male airbender; bad boy with a good heart. He's rather full of himself because he's a strong bender, and he can rub people the wrong way. I haven't decided on his backstory yet. About 18 years old. Just adding on to things I've already said, to give people a better idea of what the characters are like.
Hikari: She's pretty bad at understanding social conventions because she was raised by much older people in a very controlled environment. She joined ranks with the avatar partially because she is an eternal optimist (she believes the avatar truly does bring balance to the world, and that they are an essential piece of the bending ecosystem) and partially because she is a traditionalist (she wishes to pass on her knowledge about the "beauty" of firebending). All of these things being said, she is very naive to many aspects of the world. She would be the fire nation kid who'd never danced before, for example. She tries to be funny but is terrible at it. Rather awkward in an innocent sort of way. OPEN to relationships of any kind!
Zhilan: The opposite of Hikari in the sense that she is all about street smarts. She grew up very poor to parents who were also nonbenders. She believes all power is corrupt, and hates the idea that a person who is born every few decades is trusted with the fate of the world. She hates most benders in general, but particularly dislikes the avatar. A lot of this steps from unfair associations that she makes with him and are signs of deep rooted insecurity and fear within herself. She has little faith in anyone but herself and is quite the cynic. She's pretty badass, though. She never plays fair in fights and she has a snake tattoo that covers most of her body. OPEN to relationships of any kind!
Khandro: Was raised by the remaining air nomads. Despite being the older sibling (his younger sister is Neshi), he is quite immature in a lot of respects. He can be quite narrow-minded in many of his viewpoints and is more of a follower than a leader by nature. That being said, he is a good person at heart who primarily cares about the state of his family. He desires to find the avatar because he was told it was the right thing to do, and he didn't question it. This isn't to say he's unintelligent, but his intelligence comes in other forms. For example, he is a naturally gifted air bender and has excellent physical awareness. Plus the ladies (and gents) love him. He has a male air bison named Mopp who was his grandfather's bison. He also has a female winged lemur named Pasha who has a habit of stealing shiny things which Khandro then has to shamefully return to their proper owners. OPEN to relationships of any kind!
