Well, let's see. You've got Santa Claus, who is of course North, Snow/Ice (in classical form, Water) and Winter, you've got the Easter Bunnie, who covers East (duh,) and Spring, and there's the Tooth Fairy, who's got Air sewed up pretty well by virtue of having bug wings, but who's number four? The Queen of England's too busy, so the Boogie Man? He could take South (as in "things have gone south") which would leave the Tooth Fairy to come out of the West, pardners, and switching up the rotation to give him Summer and Boogie Fall (for Hallowe'en) works well too, but what about elements?
I suppose Toothie could do Fire if he's Summer, though I think of that as more a late summer and fall thing with dry weather and leaves on the ground, and more in Boogie's area since an uncontrolled fire is scary and even a simple match or candle will hurt if you act like a doofus. Smoke and dancing shadows go well with him, too. Besides, like I said, Tothie's the only one with a really good claim on Air.
That leaves Earth for the Easter Bunnie, but I don't really see as close a connection for her as I'd like. Any ideas?
How about for powers? Or their nemesis, Doctor Skeptic, who takes the power of science too far? (Note lack of caps and exclamation point, as there is no such thing as taking SCIENCE! too far.)
ETA: The Tooth Fairy is a crack shot with a six-gun. Why, he can shoot a loose tooth right out of a child's mouth without putting a scratch anywhere else! The bullets flattening out into silver coins would fulfill that part of the legend, too.
