Pema

"neutral"

- All I want is one child like me, a nice non-bender, who doesn't blast wind in my face every five seconds.

Pema is the wife of Tenzin, and the mother of their three airbending children: Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo. Pregnant with a fourth child, Pema lives a serene life with her family on Air Temple Island. She is a non-bender.

History
She traveled to the South Pole with her family to see Katara, and stated to her mother-in-law her frustration about having all airbenders as children, desiring her fourth child to be a non-bender.

Avatar Korra later journeyed to their home, and came to live with them for a while in order to complete her airbending training. The impetuous teenager turned her quiet life upside down.
