I've seen a lot of "IF PAZ LIVED AU" and she always joins the Na'vi but here are my opinions for it (headcannons sort of)
Paz stayed behind because Quaritch lied about when they were leaving so she was with spider when they left (She was cussing him like a dog in Spanish,when he got back it was gonna be 10 times worse)
But he didn't come back instead standing with Parker and the science pukes with her son in her hip inside hells gate,here come's Jake Sully and his little native wife as well as others
She didn't know what was going on but she looked for Quaritch for 10 minutes before Parker walked over to her
"I-.... I'm sorry Paz" and handed her the Colonel's dog tags
Paz stared at the tags for a second or two before she tilted her head back and looked back at the tags her hand over her mouth crying, something she never did in front of anyone but Miles
Jake had watched with a curious look because he didn't know what her connection was to Quaritch
Paz laid with little spider cuddling to her chest holding on to her dog tags that night
Mo'at met Paz visiting Hells Gate with Jake one day and was horrified to learn that Jake intended to put spider in cryo when it could kill him to send him back to earth
She fought Jake, Neytiri,Arwkey,and others to let Paz stay because she had her daughter taken from her,she would NOT willingly put another mother through having to leave or lose her child,after Jake suggested sending Paz back only to send spider back when he was older
In the end Arwkey's mate,Inkeyni and her mate,and most elder's sided with Mo'at,Jake Sully could not force Paz Socorro and her son to leave Pandora
Paz later got a visit from Jake after he had discovered she was Quaritch's lover and Baby Mama
Paz after hearing one worthless, absolutely Pathetic, severely insincere apology from Jake told him to get the fuck out before she shot him
When Jake turned to leave she said this
"You wanna know my babies name Sully? It's Miles Sully. I named him after his daddy"
Jake was pissed and sure Paz had just named him that to get under his skin... It worked better than he wished
But after the war and Jake figures out Neytiri is pregnant.. he usually was found most nights at late hours getting drunk with Paz,the only other person who would understand his thoughts, even though they hated each other
Paz made sure her son knew everything his daddy did but wasn't one sided with it like the Na'vi who said he was a monster while Paz accurately said he did bad things for the right reason and spider agreed with Paz
Spider met Kiri and since he couldn't say it right called her "Kitty" for the first five years of knowing her
Paz loved Kiri because she was a sweetheart little girl who didn't shun her son for being a demon
Paz also will refer to Kiri as Miha or Mi Nina my daughter and my girl
Paz first met Lo'ak while he was trying to show Jake a picture of an Ikran he drew but Jake had gotten very annoyed with it and hissed at Lo'ak to leave him alone for 5 seconds while he did something
Paz had gotten very pissed at Jake but walked over and asked Lo'ak if he would show her his picture which he did and Paz asked if she could keep it because it was so pretty. Lo'ak happily said yes and was all smiles the rest of the day
But the harder Jake and Neytiri got on Lo'ak as he got older the more he drifted to Paz as an affectionate parental figure.
Accidentally called her Mama in English once after getting in trouble for fighting by Jake and Jake Jerking a knot in his tail (Not literally but you get the drift)
Paz was very upset as to why he freaked out so badly about an accident but told him if he wanted to call her Mama he could
He did so often and Kiri seeing the very clear favoritism her parents showed her and Neteyam and Tuk she drifted away some as well.
Kiri calls Paz Sanu(Mom/Mama) and calls Jake and Neytiri Sempul(Father) and Sanok(Mother)
Lo'ak calls them the same thing
Paz has a scrap book with pictures of her and spider,her and Lo'ak and her and Kiri. The kids made a full page for her birthday they planned themselves
Lo'ak wrote under a picture of him being hugged by her after getting his Ikran " Happy Birthday Mama❤️"
Kiri wrote under a picture of her hugging Paz's shoulders and leaning over her shoulder on the side "I love you Sanu" and "Happy Birthday Sanu" below it
And spider wrote under a picture of her hugging his shoulders from behind with her head on top of his "I love you Mami"
Paz also calls Lo'ak Miho and Mi nino like she does spider
Lo'ak and spider came back from the village one day after getting hit and not fighting back. Paz said this
" I don't give one flying fuck if Sully gets mad someone lays a hand on you or Kiri and Tuk you put them flat on their ass and make damn sure to hurt'em"
Argued and won against Jake afterwards
Mo'at and Paz became very close due to understanding each other very well
Paz and Kiri have weekly girl sleepovers and girl talks mostly about boys and men that are hot (Paz The men of the clan/Unmated) Kiri usually spider is her number 1(Paz knew about the crushes before they started) would talk about boys who had already passed the rites of passage (Ikeniyi's clan). She thought they were more attractive and mature than her clan.
Paz was the first person Kiri told when a boy from Ikeniyi's clan started courting her(Right after she got her Ikran) Paz threatened him within an inch of his life
Okay I think I've been at this for way to long now so any readers I apologize for making you read so much but vote please
Also feel free to suggest or request a one-shot from me
Should I do a part 2 with what happened when Paz reunites with the Recoms
