 * This article is about the metalbending twins that live in Zaofu. For the waterbending master from the Northern Water Tribe, see Wei.

"earth"

- Those are my two youngest, Wei and Wing. They're playing a game called power disc. They invented it all on their own.

Wei and Wing are the twin sons of Suyin Beifong and Baatar, half-nephews of Lin Beifong, and grandsons of Toph Beifong. The youngest of their siblings, they invented a game for metalbenders called power disc.

Meeting Team Avatar
Upon arriving in Zaofu in 171 AG, Avatar Korra and her friends met the city's leader, Suyin, who promptly gave the team a tour of her massive estate. During the tour, Suyin introduced her sons, Wei and Wing, who were in the midst of playing power disc. Wei was able to score on Wing by hitting the metal disc off a pillar and over his brother's head. Suyin complimented Wei on his shot, and he celebrated by gesturing and declaring that Wing had gone down. Wing showed his frustration by hitting the ground with his fists.

They later sat down to dinner with their family, minus their father and eldest brother who were busy with their projects, and guests. The siblings remained silent throughout the whole exchange between their mother and guests.

The next day, Wei and Wing invited Korra to play power disc with them, only for her to decline as she could not metalbend. Later, the twins, along with their father and Huan, were witness to their mother and aunt fighting each other. They excitedly cheered their mother on, though they cringed when one of Huan's sculptures was sent flying into a wall during the duel.



Sometime later, Wei and Wing sparred with Bolin and Korra, respectively, as part of both their metalbending training. Wing, amazed to be sparring with the Avatar, stomped on her metal cable and bent it back at her, tangling Korra and knocking her down. Wei, however, was less enthused to be Bolin's duel partner. He hit the struggling earthbender with metal panels and told him a trial by fire was the way to learn metalbending. Just after he tried to shoot a meteorite fragment at him, Bolin struck Wei with a pebble, much to his annoyance because it was supposed to be a metal duel. Wing, meanwhile, had an attack blocked by Korra before he was defeated by her cables. At that point, Asami advised the group to clean up for Opal's farewell dinner.

At the dinner, as Suyin praised Opal as a good daughter, sister, friend, and soon-to-be airbending master, the twins teared up before raising their glasses in a toast to her, much to their elder brother Huan's annoyance. They later watched as their sister departed on an airship for the Northern Air Temple.

Fighting the Red Lotus


That night, however, the estate was penetrated by the Red Lotus, who had come to kidnap Korra. Wei and Wing helped their mother surround the criminals with metal panels, but found themselves separated from them as Ghazan turned the ground into a pool of lava. The three protected Team Avatar and Lin from P'Li's combustion attack by raising a panel to their right. Once Suyin came up with a plan to rescue Korra, Wei and Wing followed her and Suyin to the metal dome's roof, where they were advised by their mother to lift her and Lin up should they encounter trouble. Wing radioed Mako to inform them they were in position. He soon received a no go call as Bolin had not yet disabled P'Li, but the twin misinterpreted it as clearance and signaled his mother and aunt to make their move. Despite the mistake, Lin and Suyin were able to save Korra. Wei and Wing witnessed the completion of the mission and the disappearance of the four criminals before the latter handed his mother the radio.

174 AG
When Kuvira marched her army to the gates of Zaofu in 174 AG, Wei and Wing rode a metal train toward a vantage point in the city with their parents to overlook the size of the army. When Kuvira, Baatar Jr., and Bolin later came to discuss Zaofu's surrender, the twins stood by the rest of their family and were unmoved by Bolin's attempt to lighten the situation and come to an agreement. By nightfall, they accompanied their mother on her mission to sneak into the army camp to destroy it from within.



Under the cover of the darkness and completely clad in black, Wei and Wing followed their mother into the woods surrounding Zaofu, near the army's camp. After they took out a guard on patrol, the twins and Suyin propelled up a tree with the aid of a metal cable. Overlooking the camp, Wing verified with his mother if she truly was certain that their plan to take out Kuvira would work, wary about the size of the army. Reassured that most soldiers had been forcefully enlisted and would have no reason to fight without their commander, the threesome infiltrated the camp, avoiding being detected by patrolling mecha tanks and spotlights. After Suyin verified that Kuvira was alone in her tent by using seismic sense, they all tunneled their way into Kuvira's quarters. They were shocked to learn, however, that the sleeping woman was Zhu Li and realized they had walked into a trap when the sides of the tent fell back and they noticed they were surrounded by Kuvira's soldiers. They were all incapacitated by an electrical charge from a mecha tank and imprisoned in a metal contraption that prevented them from bending their way out.



At dawn, the imprisoned Wei, Wing, and their mother were placed on the front line of the army by Kuvira during her negotiations with Korra, Opal, and Jinora. When Kuvira brushed off Korra's attempt to resolve the brewing conflict without violence, Wei snapped at the army commander bringing an army to threaten Zaofu had not been a peaceful action. They were forced to watch helplessly as Korra lost the battle for the fate of Zaofu and were afterward taken back into their city to serve as an example to the citizens as to what would befall them if they would not accept Kuvira's rule. Wei and Wing glared at their eldest brother when he ordered their father and Huan to be imprisoned for refusing to bow to Kuvira and urged everyone to hail the "Great Uniter".

Trivia

 * Wei and Wing are one of five pairs of twins seen in either series, with Lo and Li, Poi and Ping, Desna and Eska, and Hundun and his brother being the other four.
 * Although they are nearly identical, Wei and Wing can be distinguished from one another by looking at their hair and clothing. Wei's attire consists of a rounded necklace, a belt with a circular buckle, a band on his left arm, while his hair is parted from his right to left. On the other hand, Wing's attire consists of a pointed necklace, a belt with a hexagonal buckle, a band on his right arm, while his hair is parted from his left to right. The distinctions between them in their nightwear are minimal as they can only be told apart by their hair and the fact that Wei dons an asymmetrically necked top, whereas Wing wears a symmetrically necked top.
