In the novel the "Rise of Kyoshi" it's revealed early on that the Earth Kingdom just cannot locate the new Avatar using their traditional means, they got desperate, used an informal method and declare the wrong person the Avatar.

So the "traditional" way for the Earth Kingdom was for the Earth Sages to like 'divine' the location of the new Avatar by throwing sacred rocks (forgot what they throw exactly) on a map to eliminate half the map and keep doing that until they get the exact location of the Avatar down to their exact home.

Problem was, they showed up and no Avatar. They tried again, got a different location, and again no Avatar when they show up. They do this over and over, keep getting new locations and even end up in the North Pole at one point before they give up thinking their traditional method is broken, the spirits are against them, etc.

What we later learn is that Kyoshi's parents were traveling 'dao fei' (criminals), and her mom was an Airbender (who left the Air Nation) with a flying bison.

What I realize is that from Kyoshi's parents perspectives, they were criminals being doggedly hunted every where they went by some of the most powerful and feared Earth Sages, including Jianzhu who had the nickname "the Gravedigger" for notoriously killing hundreds of 'dao fei' in one battle.

So we got Earth Sages thinking they're doing a sacred journey to find the Avatar, but possibly cursed because they keep failing. And then there's Kyoshi's parents rapidly packing their stuff to fly the hell out of town ASAP and how the hell does the Gravedigger keep finding them?!

"She was strength and skill and determination wrapped around an unshakeable heart."

I can die happily now... We're FINALLY seeing these two come to life in official Avatar visual content. It's been almost 4 years since The Rise of Kyoshi released. Can you believe it??
