When I say avatar I dont mean host or whatever. Avatar literally means god-in-human-form, a.k.a. incarnation, coming from the Hindu religion when Gods would incarnate themselves on earth.The beetle that the Phoenix possessed in Endsong, for example, does not become an avatar because the Phoenix possessed it. Same with Emma, who admits it- "I'm not even a host, just a shell".
Its been established that the Phoenix can fragment and that different pieces can go to various people. For example, Rachel still manifests Phoenix energies on a small scale, and when the Phoenix/Jean consciousness was first returning to Jeans old body in the coccoon, a piece of it went to Rachel and most of the rest went to Maddie Pryor.
