Jet could possibly be a cousin... or a child born from a one night stand? Ho ho ho Either way, if he was royalty, that would be even better for Yue. I've gotten the feeling that in the past, before this war, everyone in the Earth Kingdom was related... very... closely... Then, as more and more refugees poured in, the bloodlines grew broader. So Jet very well could be related!

^ Well, look at the Fire Nation and tell me there's not some closely-knit bloodlines there. Practically everyone looks exactly alike...
Well, we can just say that Jet was the Earth King's second cousin, twice removed, or something along those lines.
They're related, darnit.
Now, because we haven't discussed Yue in a while and she needs some love yeah, right, here is a topic about... Yue. -gasp-
If Yue WAS a bender, would she choose to hide her bending? And if she chose to hide it, would she practice it in secret, or not at all?
My thoughts are that she probably would hide her bending, or possibly, her parents would have had her hide it due to the fact she was royalty and should not be reduced to a healer. I can't see Yue not wanting to heal people, but I can see her parents not wanting her to heal.
Perhaps Yue's mother was very sick around the time that Yue found out she could bend. Yue probably found out in secret, and then practiced it a little bit before her father or mother found out. Then, they told her to hide her bending because the only way she could use it would be to heal. Yue's mother was getting extremely ill, very quickly, and they didn't want Yue, who at the time, would not have been a strong healer, to find that she could not save her mother.
Soon after, her mother died. Even with the precautions her father had taken, Yue still felt that due to her bending powers that she had let her mother die. She really wanted to learn to heal, to be able to help others, but her father just wouldn't allow it due to the fact Yue was royalty.
With that, Yue snuck out to Healer Yugoda(sp?) who said that she had to respect Yue's father, but that she knew of a place where she could instruct Yue with some very simple bending movements, not so much healing.
That place would have been the Spirit Oasis. I believe that Yugoda knew about it, due to being the Master Healer. (She probably was the Master Healer at that time, too.) They practiced in there a few times, until Yue's father found out, and forbade Yue from ever waterbending again.
I think that Yue probably was a bit more rebellious when she was younger, but she seemed to have been broken into the typical princess mold. My guess is that she continued sneaking into the Spirit Oasis every so often to practice, but once Hahn came into her life, she just stopped altogether.
...I may turn that into a fanfic once I finish Interrupted Balance.

Oh God, please do.
I was always intrigued by the idea of Yue being a bender but hiding it because of how the Northern Water Tribe views female Waterbenders. I feel it would have made a good second storyline with the arc along with Katara's troubles, but I suppose Mike and Bryan didn't go that route because Yue was only a two-time character in season one and was meant to die.
Looks to me like she can Waterbend as the Moon Spirit, though, unless I'm seeing things.

Well, if I'm not mistaken, the Moon Spirit is the Spirit of Bending...
...wouldn't make much sense to have a non-bender there.
-Shelties yap-
Okay, I've been insanely busy lately, but I would like to work on that idea as a fanfic. But I know, I know, I should work on finishing Interrupted Balance. At this point, there will be two chapters left. It was originally just going to be one, but I realized that something will need closure...

True, true. Just musing on my part.
*Cuddles Sheltie*
I'd love to pick it up for you, but I still have a ton of my own stories to get updated.... gah...

^ Nah, that's fine, I like writing my own anyway. I'm just awful at keeping them updated.
I keep fearing that the Moonlit Treehouse may be dead... No pun intended...
So...
I decided to look on the Nick.com site for anything on Jet and Yue...
Here's Jet's bio: "The inspirational leader of the freedom fighters and an amazing warrior. Jet is young, handsome and smooth-talking, but he's also a misdirected teenager who often goes too far. Jet's parents were killed by the Fire Nation when he was eight, and since then his vengeance has driven him to extreme lengths to defeat the Fire Nation. His willingness to sacrifice human lives to score a victory against the Fire Nation is directly opposed to Aang's respect for all life. This is also Jet's tragic flaw. He is an expert fighter with hook swords."
Yue's Bio: "Born in the Northern Water Tribe, 16-year-old Princess Yue is the only child of Chief Arnook and the only person at the North Pole to have white hair. When Princess Yue was born, she was very sick so her father placed her in the Water Tribe oasis and prayed to the Moon spirit to heal her. It was then that her hair turned white and she was healed. Yue believes that the moon spirit saved her life that night. Princess Yue is a very spiritual person and she has a special connection to the spirits of the Water Tribe. She is a very caring person, always putting the needs of her tribe first. Princess Yue is betrothed to marry a Water Tribe warrior, Hahn. Although she doesn't love him, she believes marrying him is the right thing to do for the sake of her tribe."
...lots of nice info there. ^^

^ But they have tons of similaries so it makes more sense than Zutara, plus, they're dead!
And maggots = canon.

^ MAGGOTS ARE AWESOME. Okay, we got a little off-topic there. xD So...... If Yue had NOT grown up in the Northern Water Tribe (or the Southern), and perhaps grown up somewhere else, but still had the moon spirit in her, do you think that her personality would be different? I think she'd be more like Jet.

Maybe she could have been a Freedom Fighter? Possibly...?

Maybe she could have been a Freedom Fighter? Possibly...? *shot* *revives* I love that idea! <3 And then Smellerbee would be really angry at her for stealing Jet, but then she'd fall for Longshot and then all of my multishipping dreams would come true. <333 Not all of them, you'd need a gigantic Pippin-style "dance" for that to happen. -shot-Oh, and I came up with another slogan. We can just use this one interchangeably with the others. ^^ Yuet: Some ships have squirrels, but we have maggots!

YES! Or, how 'bout this: Yuet... it makes Longerbee canon, too! It's Longbee. I love it! ^^ ...You know, I think we need some Yuet graphics. I may work on a bunch of them today. xD Or tomorrow. Or next month. Or next year.
