If she had lived, her future husband would most likely have taken the position. However, since she essentially dies, the theory offers two possibilities: Arnook and his wife had another child after Yue who became Chieftain, or Arnook had a sibling whose eldest male child would have been the next in the line of power. Either of these possibilities allows Avatar Korra to claim a blood relation to Princess Yue.
That depends: Avatar lore is clear that Yue saved Tui the Moon Spirit by returning the life essence it had shared with her as a baby. Whether this means that her spirit moved on or was actually absorbed into the Moon Spirit is left unclear. It very well could be that Yue gave Tui her life essence when she returned what it had bestowed upon her, meaning that her life essence is a part of the Moon Spirit.
Even if that is not the case, Princess Yue was still blessed by Tui and gave her life to restore the sacred and eternal balance between the Moon and the Ocean Spirits.
By her actions, Tui survived and all of Waterbending was restored. Thus, her parents named her Yue, for the moon. Sometime prior to Team Avatar 's arrival at the Northern Water Tribe, it was arranged that Yue would marry a young, egotistical warrior named Hahn.
He carved a betrothal necklace for her to mark their engagement, [2] but she did not really love him and consented to the marriage only to stay in line with her people's customs.
Upon arriving at the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka was smitten with Yue, taken by her beauty at first sight. He first engaged in conversation with the young princess during the joint celebration of the Avatar Aang 's arrival and her sixteenth birthday, in which she was seated along with her father and Master Pakku. After he awkwardly flirted with her, Yue and Sokka soon began to arrange meetings.
Although affection budded between the two, she was bound in an arranged marriage to Hahn, who had more love for her high status than toward her, boasting once to Sokka that "she [came] with the most perks". The two teenagers came to realize their love for each other, but she could not bear to continue their meetings because they conflicted so strongly with her responsibilities to her tribe.
He eventually became angered when she insisted that being together was "wrong" and that it was her duty to marry Hahn for her people, to which he replied that she was not marrying her people.
After giving up her own life to revive the Moon Spirit , Yue, as a spirit, kissed Sokka goodbye. During Admiral Zhao 's siege of the Northern Water Tribe, Sokka was ordered by Arnook to act as his daughter's bodyguard, noticing how their love persisted. Upon their return to the Spirit Oasis, Yue and Team Avatar were confronted by Zhao, who fatally struck the Moon Spirit's mortal form, leaving all waterbenders powerless without the moon's influence.
Appearing on scene, Iroh saw that she had been touched by the Moon Spirit, which reminded her how her life was saved by Tui as a newborn. Once again acting dutifully to her tribe, Yue sacrificed herself to give back the life that the Moon had given her. This was against Sokka's wishes, but the young warrior did not stop her in the end.
She placed her hands onto the fish, closed her eyes, and died in Sokka's arms. Yue's spirit appeared before Sokka and her father shortly after.
She whispered and swore that she would always be with the former before the two shared a final kiss, then vanished completely. Several times following her death, Yue's influence on Sokka became apparent: While in the Foggy Swamp under its spiritual influence, he hallucinated about her.
Yue is the daughter of the tribe's leader, and she has incredibly high social standing in her community, but she is not a waterbender. That's not because Master Pakku wouldn't teach her, but because she didn't have the innate ability in life. She did, however, have the ability in death. Once Yue became the spirit of the moon, she could push and pull the tides, allowing her the moon's version of waterbending.
She helped Aang to create large waves in some of his final battles in the series. Before Yue's fate in the series is revealed, some fans might have already thought she was special if they're familiar with Mandarin. That's because her name is the Mandarin word for moon.
The use of the name is much like Cardcaptor Sakura naming a character Yukito, who has another form that draws power from the moon - Yue. It's a not so subtle clue, as long as fans know what they're looking for. Thanks to Yue's story of her infancy, the audience knew that her hair turned white when she was a baby when the spirit of the moon gave her life. They might not realize just how unnatural that is. Throughout the series, Yue is the only young character who has white hair.
It's in contrast to Japanese anime that uses a rainbow of colors for hair. Avatar sticks with more "natural" colors, with gray and white hair indicating advanced age for the characters. Reintroducing myself to the world, saying, "I am a girl," does not discount who I was and am in spirit. Sacrificing my past froze my family rather than propelled. But ice is still a form of water, and time thaws.
When my dad took away my makeup as a denial of my femininity, I sat on the stoop of our house. A house in America, occupied by Muslim immigrants, descendant of an interracial marriage. We've come so far from where we began, yet it was everything I never asked for. My grandmother, mother, and I sacrificed our legacies across oceans, religions, and genders.
The act of sacrifice cycles itself down generationally. Like the moon, we set to rise. Like the ocean, we ebb to tide. These days, I find it easy to accept the coexistence of contraries. Accepting my life as a woman required the rejection of what my family believed I ought to be. When I see more and more of my mother in my reflection, it is not because we are women. It is because we sacrifice. She understands the selflessness of surrender, and I know she learned that from her own mother; to give for the taking, to hide for the priding, to shed for the sprouting.
This duality keeps the world spinning. After Yue's sacrifice, her father, Chief Arnook, professed to Sokka as they stared into the moon's horizon: "The spirits gave me a vision when Yue was born. I saw a beautiful brave young woman become the moon spirit.
