Altered | A Genderswap ATLA AU

Author's Note

So I've finally gotten started on my Avatar: The Last Airbender genderswap AU. This is just a fun idea I thought to try. Not everyone will be genderbent, just maybe the main teenagers, not the adults except Katara and Sokka's parents. Mainly my idea for their appearances came from a few art pieces I've seen online from Pinterest, tumblr, and Deviantart. Anyway, here goes nothing.

None of the art here is mine, and most of the ideas I got for the names were on a blog I once read, although one or two of will stay the same because I think they'll sound alright, because some names I see in fanfics were amusing to see at first but now just sound lazy and unoriginal at this point. Seriously, Kataro? Zuka? There was one fanfic I read where the author made the genderbent Suki's name Suko. Now that last one is actually a name and is where the show writers of ATLA got the name "Zuko", but that's veering off the topic that most names literally are just where an A or an O is slapped on the end to make it sound more feminine or masculine. I understand it may not exactly be easy to find suitable replacement names, but it tends to get annoying.

So I hope you don't find these annoying.

First up are our favorite Water Tribe siblings!

Boy Katara

Katasi: Doesn't differ too much from Katara, and originates from the Inuit name Ka-Ha-Si, meaning "Lazy Boy" which Sokka sometimes calls him anyway. Though Sokka's baby brother, he is the foil to our favorite sarcastic female warrior, and is the most reliable out of the original season one trio since he happens to be the most serious.
