Desna and Eska

"water"

- You amuse me. I will make you mine.

Desna and Eska are the twin son and daughter of Chief Unalaq and the cousins of Avatar Korra. Eska is the current Princess of the Northern Water Tribe. They traveled to the Southern Water Tribe with their father to attend the Glacial Spirits Festival.

Personalities
Desna and Eska show very little emotion except for boredom, which is attributable to their shared distaste for most people, places, and things. This distaste extends to Korra, whom they look down on due to her Southern Water Tribe heritage, despite her being the Avatar.

Eska has also demonstrated herself as possessive, as she dragged Bolin away from Korra while the earthbender was embracing the Avatar.

Abilities
The twins are very powerful waterbenders, able to cooperatively accomplish incredible feats of waterbending, such as launching entire icebergs at opponents.

Trivia

 * Desna and Eska have been described by the writers as "androgynous, creepy twins".
 * They are the third pair of twins shown in either series, the first being Poi and Ping, and the second being Lo and Li. However, they are the first set of twins to be, not only fraternal, but have different genders.
 * They are also the first known twins to both be benders, as only Poi was an earthbender, and neither Lo or Li were firebenders.
 * The twins seem to be able to communicate without saying a word to each other.
 * Korra states that they are "creepy", and that they "smell like a [grandmother's] attic".
 * Bolin was infatuated with both twins, as he initially failed to realize that Desna is male.
 * Eska is the only known female waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe to freely use combative waterbending, despite the tribe considering the idea as taboo and only allowing female waterbenders to use their abilities to heal.
