User blog comment:Jkphantom9/Interesting Personality Theories/Headcanons for Teams ABRN, BRNZ, and NDGO/@comment-25405817-20151110024928

Their interactions during battle can also let us especulate HOW they were paired up in their academy initiations before being grouped into their teams.

For ABRN, After Reese used the fire dust, she went inmediately to free Nadir, without being instructed to do so, hinting that she puts helping her partner above completing her objective. So Reese and Nadir might be one pair, leaving Arslan and Bolin as the second one.

For BRNZ, like you pointed out, Nolan and May seem to have a pretty solid dynamic, with Nolan trusting on her aim, and May not wanting to risk hitting him. I do wonder how Brawnz and Roy would interact, since they're a pair of... well, brutes.

For NDGO, similarly as before, we see Nebula freeing Darcy from her predicament almost as soon as she was up again. And their personalities (according to the analysis in this blog) seem to complement each others just fine, Nebula acting as a big sister of sorts for Darcy.

This is bound to stir some "plot-bunnies" among the FNDM. Hope those fics aren't espectacular flops.
