Lets take a moment to scrutinize Ty Lee.
1. Career: Ty Lee joined a traveling circus (air nomad), and was doing a high wire act. Seems like a perfect job for an airbender. (Ty Lee did say the circus was her calling. Could this be her airbender traits at work, calling her to a nomadic life?)
2. Fighting: Look at Ty Lee's fighting. She incapacitates her opponents by closing their chi gates or something like that. It seems like a very peaceful form of fighting, no one is harmed from her attacks. The fire nation is not known for their non-lethal ways. (As Jeong Jeong said, fire can only burn and destroy.) Airbenders are known for their peaceful ways, and would avoid killing an enemy.
3. Skillz: Ty Lee is very good at jumping, flipping, etc. She could get these powers from her airbender heritage, even if she doesn't use them consciously. Air nomads were naturally quick, light, and hot. (Yes all airbenders are naturally sexy. Ask Aang)
4. Personality: She is very upbeat and perky, much like Aang and other airbenders compared to the psychotic or emo fire nation. She's free spirited and carefree despite being in a war, much like Aang when he's not full of Aangst. (And even AZULA can't beat that out of her.)
5. Spirit: It has been mentioned she can see people's "auras". I highly doubt a firebender would have this kind of power, but an airbender having makes sense. Airbenders are said to be very spiritual and whatnot, which could explain her odd power. (Or she could be a member of the Hyuuga clan.) *Prepares to be stoned for Narutard joke.*
6. Miscellaneous: And all the other things that are cool little tidbits. Her eyes are grey like the majority of airbender (including Aang), while the fire nation's eyes are usually gold. Remember the female playing Aang in the EIP? Overanalyzing, or foreshadowing of a female airbender in the show?
How this fits into the show: Bryke will need to address the fate of the airbenderss in the show. I have already given my reasons for believing there are still living airbenders in hiding, and having Ty Lee be an airbender would be a perfect way to introduce that. (Much better than some random airbender revealing this all to Aang after the finale.) Ty Lee's family is still a mystery in the show, all we really know is she has a lot of sisters. They could all be airbenders (Score for Aang), or the airbender genes could be so mixed only Ty Lee has these powers. (She would be like 1/4 or 1/8 air nomad anyway.) I have a feeling her great-grandparents were air nomads that went into hiding when all heack broke lose, and over time their children intermarried with the fire nation.
So Ty Lee is an airbender. If I'm right we should know in the next two days. And if I'm right this will be the best prediction in Avatar history (not to mention a twist that would shock M Night Shyamalan himself.)
