Okay, so, some elements of Chrysi's past will remain similar; the Hotel is the finest inn/bath house/restaurant in Ba Sing Se, and Grandmamma was still a famous actress. She was also secretly a kickass underground earthbending cagematch champion, similar to Toph, back in her younger days....nd probably a White Lotus. Then one day, baby Chrysi was dropped on her doorstep, and soon taken in to be adopted and groomed as an heiress. Because honestly, no man was brave enough to marry Grandmamma.
For all her wealth and status, Chrysi rarely gets any suitors either, mostly due to the strange form of waterbending Chrysi instinctively developed during her early childhood. In the words of Hama: bloodbending. Though she used it for bizarrely trivial things--mostly chores and gardening--it was found unsettling, but, deep in the Earth Nation capital, cut off from most proficient waterbenders, there were few who thought it outright freakish.
And then Chrysi, ten and full of good intentions, caught a thief.
When it was a man, twice her size and thrice her girth, not a vine, being twisted to the little girl's will, perspectives quickly changed. Chrysi was 'offered' a full apprenticeship under a 'special' military force, but withn her Grandmamma's support, happily turned it down and returned to her chores and hostess duties. Business at the Hotel only lagged slightly, before booming like never before as tales of a strange, pretty girl with hair like fire and a dark gift with water laboring contentedly spread.
