I think that one has to consider the circumstances of the Four. Their pasts really shaped who they became in the end. Rapunzel is only in the tower because of her healing powers, and how she flourished there defines her character. I always thought that instead of the sun, her mother could have been healed by the moon, and now Rapunzel has vasts swaths of extra chi in her hair. Unlike normal waterbending healing, which moves said chi around, she would literally be injecting people with life energy.

Jack to me has always been an airbender that was healed by the moon - the staff, the clothes, the isolation that comes from being the last of his kind, his nature and even the way he moves as one with the wind. He basically personifies the idea of "being the leaf" that they have in Legend of Korra.
