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 airbender children - Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo. Pregnant with a fourth child, Pema is a non-bender who lives a serene life with her family on Air Temple Island. She is kind and compassionate, and has a delightful sense of humor. She loves spending time with spiritual endeavors, and at times feels overwhelmed by her children's airbending abilities.

History
When Pema traveled to the South Pole with her family to see Katara and Korra, she expressed to her mother-in-law her frustration about having only airbender children, as well as her desire for her fourth child to be a non-bender.

Later, Avatar Korra journeyed to her family's home and stayed with them for a while in order to complete her airbending training. The impetuous teenager turned Pema's quiet life upside down.

When Korra did not come to dinner one night, Tenzin confessed to Pema that he didn't know how to get through to Korra. Pema comforted her husband by telling him that the best thing he could do for Korra at the time was to give her some space.

Trivia

 * Pema is a Tibetan name meaning "lotus" that is usually used for females.
 * Her name may have been inspired by the Tibetan Buddhist nun, author, and teacher Pema Chödrön, similar to how the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso, was the inspiration for the names of her husband and Monk Gyatso.
