 * Animals: I'm not saying animals aren't capable of having feelings. I'm saying they can't have feeling or emotions to the degree of a human. It's impossible for an animal to have true attachment. The "attachments" they would form are solely based off those that raise them. They don't choose the attachments, therefore they're not real attachments. A human is different. While they may become attached to things based off how they are raised, they are also able to fall in love, have desires or goals, etc. These are things(attachments, as the Buddhist principles that the Air Nomads are based off of would consider) are not able to be had without sentient thought, something animals lack.


 * Alignment: I honestly don't care if you think it's the right fit for your character. Based off what you described, it IS wrong. Adding what you've said in the last post though, Lawful Neutral doesn't apply well either. I'd say he's close to just being solely neutral than anything. For mentality: he seems to be willing to abide by the law but to a certain degree, but also not going to out right break the law whenever he can; therefore neutral. For morality: he is willing to do cruel things to criminals(a trait specifically not good) but also desired to protect the weak; being balance between the two sides, he is also neutral here. Though, I do agree he is leaning a bit toward good on morality, but he's not fully there. Something you're also not getting: "He will fight for the defenseless against the strong and ensure that justice is served in a proper way that doesn't require any unfairness." This is NOT the trait of a good morality person. It is, however, the trait of a lawful mentality person. Lawful people desire justice and equality, while a good person would simple not like evil things. Currently, from what you've described; he's neutral mentality leaning toward lawful and neutral morality leaning toward good. Now, if you're wanting to make your character fit the alignment paradigms, you'd need to change him. However, I'd suggest more so you just don't use the alignment system as, honestly, his personality is a bit more complex.
