"water"

- No matter what happens, no matter how crazy things get, I'll always try to restore balance.

Korra is the current incarnation of the Avatar and immediate successor of Avatar Aang. Born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe, where she mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending, she later relocated to Republic City to attain a similar proficiency with airbending under the tutelage and guidance of Tenzin as well as overcome her aversion to the spiritual aspects of the bending arts. With the assistance of Aang's spirit, Korra gained the ability to energybend, and after connecting with her past lives, she gained the capacity to enter the Avatar State at will, marking her transition into a fully realized Avatar. However, due to her temporary separation from Raava during the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, she no longer has a connection to her past lives. After defeating Kuvira and bringing an end to the Earth Empire, Korra started a romantic relationship with her best friend, Asami Sato.

Early life


Korra was born to Tonraq and Senna in the Southern Water Tribe following the death of Avatar Aang in 153 AG. At the age of four, she proudly introduced herself to the Order of the White Lotus as the new Avatar by performing water-, earth-, and firebending before them. She honed her waterbending under the tutelage of Katara, though her instinctive aggressive style was nothing like the calm, slow movements the elderly master tried to pass on.

After Chief Unalaq learned that his niece was the Avatar, he constantly sought Tonraq's permission to train Korra in the spiritual ways of the Water Tribe, but his estranged brother shot him down. Since he secretly desired to indoctrinate Korra in the ways of the Red Lotus and coerce her to reopen the long-dormant spirit portals to release Vaatu, Unalaq commissioned Zaheer, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li to kidnap her in 158 AG. However, due to the efforts of Tonraq, Chief Sokka, Fire Lord Zuko, and Councilman Tenzin, the attempt was thwarted and the criminals were apprehended, although Unalaq's involvement remained unknown. After the incident, Tonraq and Tenzin decided to seclude the Avatar in the Southern Water Tribe compound, away from the public eye as she pursued the bending arts.

Meeting Naga
As a young girl, during one of her waterbending training sessions with Katara, Korra accidentally knocked the elderly woman to the ground by bending a pile of snow on her and quickly apologized. However, their session got cut short by Tonraq, who noticed a snowstorm was heading their way. When the winds carried the howls of a pack of polar bear dogs across the frozen tundra, Korra desired to go play with them but was forced to return home with her parents for safety.



During the night, however, she sneaked out and braved the storm, intending to track down the pack and play with them. Stumbling upon a sole pup, which got separated from the pack in the storm, she gained the animal's trust by offering it some fish jerky and started to hop around on all fours around her, desiring to play together.

When the young Avatar realized after a while that she too had gotten herself lost in the raging storm, Korra urged the animal not to fear as she was the Avatar and proceeded to build a rudimentary igloo with her waterbending. Sheltered from the wind, she attempted to bend a small flame for heat but subsequently lost control of it, startling herself and the polar bear pup. She quickly apologized to the animal, noting that she was not a good firebender yet due to Katara discouraging her to bend the other elements until she mastered waterbending. Musing that being the Avatar was not as fun as she thought it would be due to the abundance of rules, she found herself cheered up by the pup as it started licking her hand. Huddled together, the two youngsters eventually fell asleep.

The next morning, Korra and the pup awoke from their slumber when Tonraq found and cracked open their shelter. She promptly introduced the polar bear dog to them as Naga and asked if she could keep her, as she had lost her pack and needed a new family. Korra happily played with Naga in the snow while Tonraq and Senna discussed Naga's fate with Katara. Much to their mutual enthusiasm, Korra was allowed to keep her, and they all returned home where the youngsters continued to play together.

Inseparable during the following years growing up, Naga became Korra's best friend, animal guide, and main means of transport, while Korra demonstrated a prodigious talent in the arts of waterbending, earthbending, and firebending during her training sessions at the Southern Water Tribe compound.

170 AG


By 170 AG, at the age of seventeen, Korra had mastered all the elements save for airbending, which she was set to be taught by Tenzin as soon as he moved to the Southern Water Tribe. However, after Tenzin's move to her home fell through, Korra took matters into her own hands and stowed away on a ship, traveling to Republic City. Roaming though the city in search of Air Temple Island, she discovered that the bustling metropolis was not all that she was told to be; she learned that there was a great deal of imbalance among its citizens with triads and Equalists running around. After defeating some members of the Triple Threat Triad, she found herself in trouble with Lin Beifong and her Metalbending Police Force. She was cleared of all charges due to Tenzin's intervention and eventually allowed to stay with him at the air temple to commence her airbending training there. However, progress was slow and the Avatar grew frustrated. To unwind, she joined the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team and befriended her teammates, the brothers Mako and Bolin.

When Bolin got kidnapped by the Equalists, Korra helped his brother find him. They tracked him down to an abandoned warehouse where they witnessed firsthand Amon's ability to strip a bender of their bending abilities. Although they managed to save Bolin, Amon left a deep impression on Korra, who grew fearsome of the Equalist leader. Regardless, she joined Councilman Tarrlok's task force.



While she worked to rid the city of the Equalists, she also kept training with the bending brothers to win the Pro-bending Championship. Although they had some hard matches due to internal romantic struggles, they managed to reach the finale. However, after their match against the White Falls Wolfbats ended with their defeat due to cheating of the other team, Amon and his Equalists attacked the Pro-bending Arena, effectively destroying the building.

Soon after, Korra discovered that Hiroshi Sato had ties with the Equalists, and as such, she invited both Asami Sato and the bending brothers to come live with her at the island. There, feeling insecure about herself as the Avatar, she and her friends formed a team with the purpose of patrolling the city and apprehending Equalists. As such, she angered Tarrlok, and the Councilman broke up their team by arresting all of Korra's friends. When she confronted Tarrlok about his actions later on, the discussion erupted into a duel. As the Avatar was about to overpower the councilman, Tarrlok revealed himself to be a bloodbender and subdued her with the ability. Korra was locked up in a secluded cabin in the mountains surrounding the city. In isolation, unable to escape, she meditated and connected with Aang, discovering the truth about Tarrlok's heritage. However, when Amon and his Equalists ambushed the cabin, she managed to escape.



In the aftermath of her escape, Amon launched his grand attack on the city. Korra and her friends fought back for a while, but the sheer number and power of the Equalists forced them on the run. Korra retreated into the tunnel system of the city, where she would await the arrival of reinforcements in the form of General Iroh and his United Forces. However, he too proved to be no match for the Equalists machines, and Korra pulled the injured general out of the water. After this incident, she vowed to take the battle to Amon, and together with Mako, she set out to confront him. After having learned that he truly was a waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe, they eventually found him at the Pro-bending Arena, where he was holding a victory speech. The Avatar freed Tenzin and his children, though when she faced Amon, the Equalist leader managed to take away her bending. However, as she witnessed Amon on the verge of taking Mako's bending as well, she unlocked her airbending and managed to overpower Amon.



After the Equalists' defeat, Korra traveled to the Southern Water Tribe, hoping that Katara could undo Amon's action. The old healer was unable to, however, and a heartbroken Korra ran off to grieve on her own. There, she finally managed to connect with her spiritual side, and as such, Aang and the other previous Avatars helped to restore her bending, as well as bestow upon her the ability to restore other people's bending. Having regained her bending and mastered the Avatar State, Korra and Mako became a couple.

Events until Harmonic Convergence
After the Anti-bending Revolution, Korra extensively used energybending to restore the bending of the innocent benders Amon victimized with his bloodbending and trained with Tenzin to perfect her skill in airbending, achieving the status as a Fully Realized Avatar.



Although Tenzin wanted her to accompany him on a journey to visit all the air temples, Korra was adamant about first attending the Glacier Spirits Festival. However, after she learned there from her uncle, Unalaq, that it had been Tenzin and Tonraq's decision to keep her secluded in the compound, she broke with her airbending master and accepted Unalaq's offer to become her spiritual guide. As a first step in her training, Korra journeyed to the South Pole and opened the Southern spirit portal, causing the spirit lights to return to the South. When they made their way back to the Southern Tribe, Korra discovered that in the meantime the Northern Navy had arrived and occupied the harbor. Although Unalaq claimed it was an attempt to reconnect both tribes, the Southerners were not pleased with the Northern presence and Korra was forced to mediate between her own people, causing her to be seen as a traitor by some.



When Korra learned of Varrick's plan to kidnap Unalaq, she feared that her father was involved. She thwarted the attempt and discovered Tonraq had nothing to do with the Southern Water Tribe rebels. However, her parents were arrested and tried for treason nonetheless, a trial during which only her mother was acquitted. In an attempt to free her father, Korra confronted Judge Hotah and learned that the entire tribe and Tonraq's initial banishment of from the North had all been orchestrated by Unalaq. Enraged, Korra and her friends, with the help of Varrick, freed Tonraq and the other rebels from Northern custody, effectively commencing a Water Tribe Civil War.

Korra and Team Avatar journeyed back to Republic City in an attempt to persuade President Raiko to deploy the United Forces fleet to aid the South. With tensions rising between the two tribes and the pressure to do something on Korra increased, she also began to have relationship troubles with Mako and, after he had informed Raiko of her plan to go to General Iroh behind his plan, they broke up. In a last attempt to gather support for her tribe, Korra left for the Fire Nation to ask the Fire Lord for help. However, she never reached her destination as she was first attacked by her cousins, Desna and Eska, and later ambushed and swallowed by a dark spirit.



Korra washed ashore on an island inhabited by the Bhanti Tribe, though the attack of the spirit had infected her Avatar Spirit, leaving her without her memory. She was lowered by the tribe into a pool of spirit water, where she reconnected with her Avatar Spirit by learning how Wan became the first Avatar by fusing with Raava during Harmonic Convergence in 9,829 BG and how they defeated Vaatu. With the warning of the shaman that Harmonic Convergence was nearly upon them again, Korra tracked down Tenzin and his family at the Eastern Air Temple and asked for his help to enter the Spirit World in order for her to close the Southern spirit portal and prevent Vaatu's escape. It was with Jinora's help, however, that she managed to cross over, though soon after they arrived, the girls got separated. Korra found herself in a dark forest, where she reverted to her four-year-old self, though with the guidance of Iroh, she was able to revert the change. Making her way over to the spirit portals, she discovered that Jinora had been captured by Unalaq, who threatened to destroy the girl's soul if Korra did not open the Northern spirit portal as well. Korra complied, though as opposed to earning Jinora's freedom, she was attacked by Unalaq and dark spirits. Korra managed to escape with the help of a dragon bird spirit and returned to the physical world.



Having gathered reinforcements in the form of Team Avatar and Varrick's battleship, Korra made her way to the South to enter the Spirit World through the portal there and close the portals from the inside before Harmonic Convergence started. Although their initial attempt to breach through the Northern defenses at the portal ended up with their capture, the Team managed to escape due to Bumi's intervention. While Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi would look for Jinora, Mako and Bolin would hold Unalaq back while Korra closed the portals. She did not manage to close them in time, however, and Vaatu managed to escape at the start of the celestial event. Although she tried to re-imprison the spirit of darkness, she could not prevent him from fusing with Unalaq and becoming the Dark Avatar.



With the fate of the world at stake, Korra engaged Unalaq in battle, though knew her defeat when Vaatu extracted Raava out of her and destroyed the Light Spirit, effectively severing Korra's connection to all her past lives. Upon Tenzin's instance, Korra meditated within the Tree of Time to connect with the cosmic energy and astral project an enormous apparition of her own spirit. Traveling via the spirit lights toward Republic City, Korra engaged Unalaq, who had taken on enormous proportions as well and was laying siege to the city. During the fight, Korra searched the Dark Avatar for a sign of Raava, as she knew that dark could not live without light and upon the destruction of one spirit, it would always live on in the other. However, she could not find a trace of Raava and the Dark Avatar took advantage of her unguarded moment to trap Korra's soul within a spiritbending move. Right before Korra's spirit was on the verge of being corrupted, Jinora's spiritual projection appeared and revealed Raava within Unavaatu. Korra pulled the Light Spirit out, before employing spiritbending to purify Unalaq, destroying him. With Harmonic Convergence nearing its end, Korra, Raava, and Jinora returned to the Spirit World, where she and Raava fused back together as the convergence ended.

Upon her return to the physical world, she declared the Water Tribe Civil War over and the South as an independent nation with Tonraq as its chief. She also announced that she had left both portals open, ushering in a new era in which humans and spirits coexisted.

Red Lotus insurrection


Shortly after the Unalaq Crisis, Korra temporarily lost her bending due to being attacked by chi blocking darts. On a quest to regain her abilities, she fought off the Triple Threat Triad and the residual Equalists, who had all been enlisted by Hundun, as well as hordes of dark spirits. She eventually tracked Hundun down to the Spirit World, where she learned that he was out for vengeance due to the actions of one of her past lives. Despite facing fierce mental and physical challenges, she eventually managed to regain her ability to enter the Avatar State and overpowered Hundun, using her spiritbending to dissipate him and his brother.

In the following week, Korra continued to struggle with the changes that Harmonic Convergence brought. The spirit vines created by the Dark Avatar had taken over parts of Republic City, leaving countless citizens homeless, and her failure to remove them caused for tension between her and President Raiko. Additionally, the shift in the world's energy gave several people across the Earth Kingdom the ability to airbend. After her clash with Raiko reached its zenith and he banished her from the city, Korra and her allies set out to scour the Earth Kingdom in search of these new benders to offer them training and guidance.



Despite initial failures to persuade the new airbenders to abandon their lifestyle in order to rebuild the Air Nation, they eventually managed to persuade Kai to young them. They journeyed to Ba Sing Se, where they eventually discovered that Earth Queen Hou-Ting had been conscripting the airbenders into her army, holding them captive underneath the Earth Queen's Temple. Before they could formulate a plan to free them, Lin joined them and informed them of the escape of four dangerous criminals who were after Korra. She dismissed the threat, however, and decided to stay focused on freeing the airbenders. Successfully fighting off the Dai Li and escaping the city, the airbenders and Tenzin traveled to the Northern Air Temple, while Korra, her friends, and Lin continued the search for more benders.



Their search led them to Zaofu, where they met up with Suyin Beifong, Lin's half-sister, whose daughter Opal had become an airbender. Although the plan had been to send Opal to the Northern Air Temple, the team stayed at Zaofu for a while on Suyin's suggestion. While training Opal in the basics, Korra was taught metalbending by Suyin, becoming the first metalbending Avatar. The threat Lin warned her about eventually caught up with her, and Korra was kidnapped by Zaheer and his three companions, Ghazan, P'Li, and Ming-Hua. Before they could escape, however, she was saved by her friends, and after discovering that Aiwei had led the criminals inside the city, Team Avatar left the Metal Clan in order to track him down and find out why Korra was being targeted.



Following him to the Misty Palms Oasis, the team discovered that Aiwei was meeting Zaheer at Xai Bau's Grove. In an attempt to follow them, they staked out Aiwei's room at the Misty Palms Inn, though eventually discovered that the grove was located in the Spirit World. Korra entered the Spirit World via mediation herself and found Aiwei being confronted by Zaheer. Zaheer promptly disposed of Aiwei by throwing him into the Fog of Lost Souls, leaving the two of them to talk. Being allowed to ask questions, Korra discovered that Zaheer and his associates were part of the Red Lotus, who desired to radically change the world by doing away with the separation of the four nations. Meanwhile, Korra's meditating form was taken by Asami on Naga, as Ghazan and Ming-Hua attempted to kidnap her. Although they managed to escape the Red Lotus, however, they were captured by Earth Kingdom soldiers, since the Earth Queen had declared them enemies of the kingdom.



Korra and Asami eventually managed to free themselves and prevent being taken back to Ba Sing Se. Their escape left them and the airship crew stranded in the Si Wong Desert, forcing them all to work together to reach the safety of the Misty Palms Oasis, where they once again met up with Mako, Bolin, Lin, Tonraq, and Zuko and learned that Zaheer had killed the Earth Queen and threatened to do the same with the airbenders at the Northern Air Temple lest Korra surrendered herself to them.

Their forces strengthened by Suyin and her security force, the team set course for the Northern Air Temple. On the way, Korra decided that she would give herself up, as it was the only way to save the airbenders. As such, she met Zaheer atop Laghima's Peak, while Asami, Mako, and Bolin would check on the airbenders at the temple, and Tonraq and the metalbenders would scale the mountain to be her back up. Zaheer double-crossed them, however, and despite P'Li's demise in the ensuing battle, he managed to escape with an unconscious Korra.



When she woke up, Korra found herself suspended in chains in an underground prison hold and was administered a poison through her skin. She was told the poison would force her body into the Avatar State, enabling the Red Lotus to end the Avatar Cycle if they killed her in the Avatar State. She tried to fight it off, though she eventually succumbed to the poison's influence, and the Avatar State was triggered. The moment she remained in the state, she was attacked by Ghazan and Ming-Hua. Using her enhanced strength and bending abilities, she managed to free herself from her chains and confronted Zaheer in a duel, while Bolin and Mako took care of the others.



With the Avatar State, Korra was able to hold her own against Zaheer, even force him on the defense, though she could not keep up battling both him and the poison, eventually succumbing to its effect. Rendered defenseless, Zaheer took the opportunity to suffocate her, though before he could finish his attack, they were both trapped in a tornado created by Jinora and the novice airbenders. Freed from Zaheer's hold, Korra managed to ensnare Zaheer and pull him down with her, enabling Lin and Suyin to trap him in an earthen prison. Despite her victory, Korra was left on the verge of death due to the poison within her. When Jinora recognized the poison to be a metallic solution, Suyin tried to bend it out of her, saving her life. However, the poison had taken a great toll on her, confining her to a wheelchair in a physically and emotionally weakened state.

171 - 173 AG
After Jinora's ceremony, Korra changed into her normal attire and was set to board the steamship heading toward the Southern Water Tribe, together with her parents, Naga, and Kya. Before boarding, she was given a letter by Bolin, who expressed his delight over becoming pen pals with her. Although Asami inquired if she would be fine on her own as the business woman would be happy to accompany her, Korra declined the offer, stating that some weeks by herself to heal would do her good. Tenzin reassured her that he, Jinora, and the Air Nation would try their best to take care of things in her absence so she could focus all her energy on healing.



Three weeks later, while staying at the Southern Water Tribe Royal Palace, Korra had a nightmare about Zaheer asphyxiating her. She woke up, severely distressed and breathing heavily. Korra went out on the balcony for some fresh air and to look at the spirit lights, where she was found by her mother. Senna approached her, worried about her well-being, and urged her to seek help from Katara. She agreed and received a hug from her mother, who expressed her love for Korra.

While being healed by Katara, Korra was told that the mercury poison had caused considerable internal damage. Inquiring if the elder could fix it, Korra was told that her recovery was dependent on her own efforts, though Katara would help guide her through the process. Korra expressed her desire to recover and was urged to visualize her big toe moving, a feat she managed to accomplish, much to her delight. Korra subsequently moved to the parallel bars in order to try walking. Leaning heavily on the bars, she managed to keep herself standing, though before she could take a step, she was overwhelmed by the memory of herself being poisoned by the Red Lotus, causing her to lose her balance and fall down. Although Katara comforted her, emphasizing that she was safe there and urging her to use her mind to overcome her pain, Korra refused to try again, declaring herself done for that day. Throughout her stay in the South, Korra received and read the letters sent to her by Asami, Mako, and Bolin.



Korra kept up her intensive physiotherapy training, though nearly six months later, she lost patience due to a lack of significant progress. Lamenting about her inability to take more than a few steps without collapsing, she snapped at Katara in her frustration over being dependent on others for everything, while her friends were helping the world and the elderly woman could not heal her. Immediately realizing that she should not have addressed Katara that way, she apologized and was told to let go of her anger and frustration. Upon admitting that she was tired of her situation and the senselessness of it all, Katara tried to comfort her by sharing the sense of loss Aang felt over losing his entire culture and telling her he had tried to find meaning in the suffering and eventually even succeeded to find peace. When Korra asked what she would find, she was offered the response that whatever it was, it would be interesting to find out. Korra subsequently tried to walk again with the aid of the parallel bars and managed to walk the short distance toward Naga, falling happily against the polar bear dog's chest.



Korra continued to improve and by the time Tenzin arrived at the Southern Water Tribe compound, Korra had improved to the point where she could once again run around and fight. As the airbending master climbed off Oogi, she warmly embraced him, exclaiming how much she had missed him. Upon receiving the compliment that she looked great, she dragged Tenzin off toward the training grounds, eager to show him how much she had improved. She sparred against three firebenders and although she started strong, she was knocked down after she was once again overcome with a vision of Zaheer flying down upon her. Helped back to her feet by Tenzin who declared the sparring match to be over, she angrily stated that she believed she had been ready. As Tenzin tried to put her at ease by pointing out that there was no shame in taking the time needed to make a full recovery as her duties as the Avatar could wait, Korra asked about the Earth Kingdom, since she knew it was still in chaos. Hearing that the situation had been stabilized by Kuvira, she grew sad, stating that the metalbender was doing her job. Before Tenzin could tell her that she merely needed to be patient, Korra glared at him, threatening that if he would voice the thought, she would "water-smack" him in the mouth. Frustrated about the situation, she left the sparring ring.



For two years, Korra continued her training and recovery at the Southern Water Tribe. At one point, she wrote a letter back to Asami, in which she apologized for not having written before. She revealed that the past couple of years had been the hardest of her life and even though she had recovered physically, she still could not enter the Avatar State and was often plagued by memories of Zaheer and the Red Lotus attack. She admitted that she worried that she might never fully recover, despite her best efforts. Korra implored Asami to not inform Mako and Bolin about the letter, as she did not want to hurt their feelings and felt like they would not understand her as opposed to Asami.

While having a meal with her parents, an absent-minded Korra was playing with her food until her mother's inquiry about her well-being snapped her out of her thought. She expressed her desire to return to Republic City, hoping that it could speed up her recovery due to it being the place of action and where her friends were. Korra declined Tonraq's offer to get the White Lotus to prepare for her departure, insisting on going alone as it would give her the chance to clear her head.



En route, Korra briefly stopped at a beachside village to purchase supplies. Upon requesting the local fishmonger for two lobster crabs, she was recognized as the Avatar and asked to pose for a picture, just like Avatar Aang had done decades before. The man's ramblings about Avatars were cut short when another vendor shouted about a robbery in progress and the fishmonger pushed Korra to intervene. Although she intercepted the thieves, the two men easily defeated her, leaving Korra lying on the beach in shame. Korra eventually made it to Republic City, though as she neared Air Temple Island, she saw herself in the Avatar State standing atop one of the rocks near the island, glaring menacingly at her. Realizing she was not ready to return, she turned her boat and left Yue Bay, docking somewhere in a deserted area, where she obtained Earth Kingdom clothes, shed all her Water Tribe identifiers, and cut her hair.



Korra traveled to the Spirit World through the northern spirit portal and made her way to the Tree of Time. Her meditation in the hollow of the tree was interrupted by chattering spirits, who were debating among themselves whether or not she was the Avatar. When Korra verified her identity as such, she revealed to them that she had been away for a while due to sustaining severe injuries in her last big battle, which had left her unable to contact Raava. She admitted to meditating in the Tree of Time since the last time she had done so, it had shown her a myriad of images and she had hoped it would be the case again, figuring it could help her to reconnect with Raava and access the Avatar State. When it proved to be unsuccessful, she declined the spirits' help, deciding that she needed to figure it all out on her own since the help of others had not borne any fruit so far.

In order to keep people from worrying about her, Korra wrote letters to her parents, telling them she was pleased to have returned to Air Temple Island and see her friends again. In reality, however, Korra was roaming the physical world by herself, crossing icy seas, hiking up volcanoes, and traversing the desert, all the while seeing an apparition of herself in the Avatar State. While she was wandering the desert, Korra saw Raava atop a nearby dune, though by the time she had scampered to the top, the Light Spirit was gone, having been only a mirage.

174 AG


Six months after having left the South Pole, Korra made her way to a small Earth Kingdom town at night, where she was once again haunted by her Avatar apparition. Determined to end the haunting, Korra confronted the apparition, though lost. When she encountered a puppy in the middle of the road, she decided to follow the dog after it had chased away her apparition and ended up at the Foggy Swamp. Losing track of the animal who turned out to be the light spirit whom she had met at the Tree of Time, she was once again attacked by her apparition, who dragged her down in a hallucinatory pool of mercury. She eventually woke up in the home of Toph Beifong, who had found her unconscious in the mud.



Desiring to get back into Avatar fighting shape, Korra asked Toph for help and eventually learned that she was still carrying around traces of mercury. When she was plagued by another vision of Zaheer trying to asphyxiate her in the Avatar State as Toph tried to remove the mercury, Korra was told that she would have to bend the metal out herself, since she was subconsciously fighting Toph's attempts to remove it out of fear of getting injured again. When Korra made her way through the swamp two days later, she was haunted by visions of her old enemies once again, though with Toph's help, she figured out that she needed to face her fears and stop fighting her old enemies if she ever wished to be able to deal with future threats. In order to speed up her recovery, Toph took her to the banyan-grove tree, where she reconnected with herself and the world. After being found by Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, they all returned to Toph's dwelling in the swamp, where Korra eventually managed to bend out all of the residual poison out of her system.



In order to let Kuvira and the rest of the world know that the Avatar was back, Korra and the three airbenders traded the swamp for Zaofu, though they discovered that the military of the Earth Empire was already camped at its gates. Believing that conflict had only made things worse in the past, Korra set out to negotiate with Kuvira though was urged to convince Suyin to give the city up. Upon her return to the city, Korra learned that Suyin had left with Wei and Wing to sneak into Kuvira's camp and deal with the threat themselves. When Kuvira announced over the city's communication system that Suyin and the twins had been captured, Korra tried to reason with the army commander though ended up being challenged for a one-on-one duel for the fate of Zaofu. Kuvira had the upper hand until Korra entered the Avatar State. On the verge of ending Kuvira, however, she was plagued by another hallucination of herself in the Avatar State, allowing the army commander to recover and defeat her. As Kuvira moved to kill her, she was saved by Jinora and Opal and escaped from Zaofu with them, Ikki, and Meelo.



Returning to Republic City, Korra met up with Asami and Mako, though there reunion soon became tense due to their three-year separation. When Prince Wu was kidnapped, the trio gave chase, tracking the royal down to a train departing from Central City Station. Despite the team's continuous bickering, they found Wu and freed him, though were soon after forced on the defense by several Earth Empire agents. Working together, however, they managed to hold them off and escape. The three friends made amends before Mako retreated to the Sato estate with Wu, and Korra and Asami returned to Air Temple Island. As Korra mulled over her past experiences, she became doubtful over her abilities as the Avatar, though with the support of Asami and Tenzin, she became once again determined to restore balance in the world.



When Jinora asked for her and Opal's help to search for Ryu, who had gone missing with his tour group in the Spirit Wilds, Korra discovered via the plants that Kuvira was harvesting roots from the Foggy Swamp. Splitting for Jinora, she left to warn the world leaders about the impending danger, though she was soon contacted by Jinora again, who called for help as she was being attacked by the vines. With Mako's help, Korra discovered that Jinora, Ryu, and the other tourists' souls had been trapped in the Spirit World, though after failing to meditate in, being blocked again by Zaheer's memory, she concluded that she needed to face the Red Lotus leader. When Zaheer noted that her spiritual block was a conscious choice, Korra snapped at him for having created the "worst dictator the Earth Kingdom [had] ever seen", which lead Zaheer to offer to guide her into the Spirit World. Although Korra initially refused his help, she let him guide her through her traumatic experience, and she managed to make it into the Spirit World, where Raava's spirit lit up within her. Together, they found and rescued the trapped souls.



To help the United Republic prepare for battle, Korra asked the spirits to help defend their new home, though they refused to take part in human wars. When she later learned that Kuvira's attack was imminent, Korra and Team Avatar set out to destroy the train tracks with which they presumed Kuvira would transport her spirit energy cannon to Republic City. Much to her shock, however, she discovered that Kuvira was already nearing the city and had mounted the weapon on an enormous mecha suit instead. While the Earth Empire military forced the United Forces to surrender, Korra formed an airbender stealth team and kidnapped Baatar Jr. in order to force him to try and talk Kuvira out of conquering the United Republic of Nations. The plan failed, however, and then were nearly all killed when she blew up the Future Industries factory in which they were hiding.



While it was decided that Asami and Varrick, with the help of Hiroshi and Zhu Li, would adjust the prototypes of the hummingbird mecha suits in order to cut through platinum, Korra and the other benders faced Kuvira's enormous mecha suit in an attempt to slow it down. After Asami and Hiroshi managed to cut a hole in the suit, which cost Hiroshi his life, Korra, Mako, Bolin, Lin, and Suyin infiltrated the mecha suit. While Lin and Suyin took down the cannon, which ended up being discarded in the Spirit Wilds, Korra faced Kuvira, though their battle was interrupted when Mako and Bolin caused the engine to explode. The two women continued their fight inside the Spirit Wilds, where Kuvira fired the spirit energy cannon at Korra. Although she dove out of the way of the beam, the cannon charged itself with the surrounding spirit vines and overloaded. When the beam threatened to kill Kuvira, Korra jumped in front of her and, entering the Avatar State, held the beam at bay, though the enormous surge of energy expanded around them and exploded, creating a new spirit portal.



Korra and Kuvira were thrown into the Spirit World. Seeing her opportunity, Korra explained that she saw a lot of herself in Kuvira, stating that they were both fierce and determined to succeed, sometimes even without thinking things through. When the metalbender snapped that she had been merely trying to help her people in the absence of the Avatar, Korra understood that Kuvira had only been trying to create a place where she and her people would never have to feel vulnerable again and sympathized with the hardships that come from a life as an orphan. She managed to convince Kuvira to surrender, and when they both exited the Spirit World via the portal, Kuvira gave herself up to Lin and Suyin, acknowledging that the Avatar had saved her life and possessed a power beyond what she could ever hope to achieve.



Later, Korra attended Varrick and Zhu Li's wedding at Air Temple Island, during which she learned that Wu planned to abolish the earth monarchy and establish independent states with democratically elected governments akin to the United Republic of Nations instead, a cause for which she pledged her support. When Korra later distanced herself from the party and gazed over the skyline of Republic City, she was joined by Tenzin. Talking about how much she had already changed the world and how much more she desired to do, they were eventually interrupted by Asami, and Tenzin left the two women to themselves. Korra apologized to Asami for having been absent for three years and tried to comfort her for the loss of her father. When Asami stated that she did not feel like returning to the party and could use a vacation, Korra offered to go with her anywhere she wanted. The two decided to journey to the Spirit World and, upon stepping into the spirit portal, they turned to each other and held both hands while gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, starting their romantic relationship together.

Vacation in the Spirit World


Korra and Asami proceeded to enjoy a series of adventures in the Spirit World, which was cut short when the mountain they began climbing revealed itself to be a spirit. This spirit was displeased with Korra's accidental creation of the Republic City portal, resulting in the couple being thrown into the air. Korra quickly used her airbending to soften their landing and afterwards apologized to Asami for letting their getaway result in them almost getting killed. Asami reminded her that they had been through worse on previous occasions, and she insisted they not let one disgruntled spirit ruin all the fun they had had until that moment. Noting that all their supplies were ruined, they were forced to cut their vacation short. Before leaving, however, Korra leaned in and kissed, both stating that it had been a wonderful few days.

While walking through a forest, Korra and Asami discussed when they realized their feelings for each other. Korra told Asami that when the two had gone race car driving together she felt like somebody was able to understand her wild, excited nature. Asami told Korra that the years Korra was gone had been the longest of her life; and Korra told her that after her injury she had realized her feelings for Asami but had not included it in any letters. When questioned, Korra told Asami that she had been so confused she had not known if what she was feeling was real. As they finished speaking, the same dragon bird spirit who had helped Korra three years prior appeared to give them a lift. Rather than go back to Republic City, Korra asked the spirit to take them to the Southern portal, but wanted to keep it a surprise to Asami. As they arrived, Korra told Asami of her intentions to tell her parents about their relationship; while Asami was initially hesitant, Korra urged her forward. Later on, while having dinner with Tonraq and Senna, Korra and Asami came out about their relationship, and Korra's parents both expressed their happiness for the couple. However, Tonraq subsequently suggested they keep their relationship private when they return to Republic City, which upset Korra. Although Senna reasoned that not everyone would be so accepting, Korra derided her parents as narrow-minded, and agreed with Asami's suggestion to leave.



On their way back, Korra apologized to Asami for her parents' behavior, but to Korra's surprise Asami sympathized with them. She explained to Korra that they were most likely worried about her safety, and this was something she understood because part of her wanted to keep Korra to herself. Korra apologized, realizing she had accidentally ignored Asami's feelings on talking to her parents. Asami said it was okay, she was just worried that people would not see their relationship as something special and rare like she did. Korra promised Asami that no matter what people said, she was going to protect Asami, and Asami agreed.

Return to Republic City


Upon exiting the spirit portal to Republic City, Korra and Asami walked directly into Jinora and the airbenders arguing with Wonyong Keum, whom Asami identified as a former business associate of her father's. Jinora told the two that Keum intended to build an amusement park around the portal, but Keum insisted that he was simply trying to give every common person a chance to visit the Spirit World. While Korra initially hesitated making a decision, Asami told Keum that the Spirit World was sacred, and people like him should not be allowed to enter it. At the same time, the dragon eel spirit, who previously refused Korra's request to fight Kuvira, asked the Avatar to close the portal to keep the likes of Keum from exploiting it. Korra refused, stating her belief that keeping the portal open would ensure harmony between humans and spirits; the spirit said he could not force her to close the portal, but that he would hold her responsible for the portal's safety. When the spirit left, Keum tried to order everyone off his property, but Korra went into the Avatar State and demanding he leave, effectively scaring Keum away from the site. She was subsequently assured by Opal that she would not be alone in defending the portal, as the new Air Nation would be assisting her in that task.

Korra and Asami later arrived to the temporary evacuee camp, interrupting Zhu Li's speech to the airbenders and Kya. Warmly welcomed back by everyone, Korra asked Tenzin how things were in the city. Tenzin answered that, thanks to Zhu Li's efforts, they could regulate the relief efforts for the evacuees while President Raiko was being completely preoccupied with his presidential reelection campaign, at the expense of the evacuees. Korra noted that he had never been the most compassionate person toward, and was not surprised at Raiko's lack of action. When Kya interrupted, suggesting that Korra talk to the evacuees to boost their morale, Korra immediately agreed with her. She asked Asami if she wanted to accompany her while giving the speech to the evacuees; however, Asami said she preferred to stay at the tent helping Zhu Li with practical things. Taking offense at this, Korra retorted, but Asami told her that she felt people would want to see the Avatar, not her. Tenzin urged Korra on to meet the crowd and offered to join her.



As Korra and Tenzin walked through the camp, soon a huge crowd of evacuees quickly surrounded Korra as she apologized for their living conditions, offering them her service. Several evacuees made requests, making her nervous under the pressure. Tenzin joined her side and suggested they head back; however, Korra was not ready to go back without being able to help. She earthbent a podium, and begun holding a speech, using Tenzin's words about change's capability to be both good and bad toward the evacuees, and that she hoped that the changes brought by Kuvira's invasion would give them a chance to start anew, and promised she would work to get the evacuees new homes. Korra's speech was met with loud cheers from the crowd, and Tenzin and Korra returned to the tent where Asami had started to work on plans for new housing developments. Curious about what she had in mind, Korra joined her and suggested showing the plans to Raiko in order to get money from the city to realize the housing plans; Zhu Li agreed, and said she would set up a meeting for the trio and him.

Korra, Asami and Zhu Li met with Raiko at his campaign headquarters to ask him for funding, but Raiko turned the trio down, and told them that the city was broke. Zhu Li and Asami offered money from Varrick Industries and Future Industries respectively to start the project, upon which Raiko's campaign manager, Wenyan, interfered and attempted convince Raiko to help, explaining to him that this would help his poor reelection ratings, resulting in Raiko's agreement to the plans. As they left, Korra paused to address the spirit portal, and suggested the government buy the land from Wonyong Keum, so they could turn it into a spirit sanctuary. Raiko rejected this idea, repeating that the city was broke and ordered them to leave, making Korra angry, but Asami lead her out of the room, and said that they would find another way to solve the issue.



Korra and Asami later arrived to Air Temple Island, and stood enjoying the sunset from the gazebo. Kya arrived and complimented the two, noting that they made a good couple, surprising Korra and Asami, as they had not told her about their relationship. She explained to couple that she had had her suspicions ever since Tenzin had told her the two of them had left for their vacation together, as it reminded her of the first romantic getaway she enjoyed with her first girlfriend. Korra told her that she had not known about Kya's romantic preferences, and Kya answered that she preferred to keep it private, and that only her friends and family knew. She asked the two if they had told anyone yet, and Asami answered that Korra's parents knew, although Korra promptly stated that they had seemed worried about the reaction of the rest of the world. Kya told them that it was Water Tribe tradition to keep family matters private, all though most families would not judge their children for coming out. Intrigued, Korra asked how Aang reacted when she came out to him and Kya fondly recalled that her father had been very supportive, she described to the new couple that the Air Nomads were very accepting, and that each nation had their own customs when it came to same-sex couples, and that their story was their own to made public when and if they desired to do so. Upon hearing that many nations were poorly receptive toward same sex couples, Korra told the two that she felt worried she would never be able to enact change, but Asami told her that times were changing, and that people in Republic City were very accepting. The couple's conversation with Kya was interrupted when Bolin and Mako appeared. Kya left the four friends to themselves, though not before letting the young women know that she would be always there for them if they needed advice. Reunited, the four friends caught each other up their lives within the past few weeks, and the Korra and Asami debated whether to share the news of their relationship, before ultimately deciding to do so. However, the moment was cut short when Jinora's spiritual projection appeared, and she informed Team Avatar that the Triple Threats were attacking the airbenders at the spirit portal.



Team Avatar boarded on a flying bison, and flew to the spirit portal as fast as they could to the spirit portal. Mako told Korra and Asami that the Triple Threat Triads had a new leader, Tokuga, who he had been trying to unsuccessfully catch. As they approached the portal, Korra was ready to attack the triad members; but to her horror, spirits begun emerging from it, angered and ready to attack humans. Korra attempted to reason with the angry dragon eel spirit, and told the spirit that attacking humans would only make things worse. Her attempts to reason with the spirits were unsuccessful, and she flew alongside them on her glider attempting to stop them from attacking somebody. However, as she flew overhead, she saw that Asami had been knocked unconscious by some of the triad members, and immediately dropped and ran toward her girlfriend's defense. She fought off all of the attacking triad members, and held Asami in her arms. As she looked up, she saw the dragon eel spirit attacking Tokuga by flying through his body, to her dismay. As Asami awoke, Korra embraced her with a kiss, viewed by all of her allies in the fight. As the two stood up, they explained what they had been trying to tell Mako and Bolin was that they were a couple. Bolin was excited, and said he looked forward to double dates between him, Opal, and the new couple, and Jinora told the couple she thought the news was wonderful. Mako was shocked and froze, taking time to process the events. Letting his brother take the news in, Bolin wondered why the Triple Threat Triad had been near the portal in the first place. Korra, thinking back on the conflict with Wonyong, replied that she had a feeling who had sent them there.

The morning after the battle at the spirit portal, Korra and some of the airbenders flew to the Spirit World in an attempt to reassure the spirits that she was still on their side. Upon entering the Spirit World, however, the group was shocked to find the area surrounding the portal completely destroyed and empty of spirits. Korra was visibly upset by the destruction of the area she had shared with Asami, and Tenzin approached her informing that he knew the area was special to her, and congratulated her on her new relationship with Asami, saying that he was happy for them.



Looking at the destroyed land around the spirit portal, Jinora remarked that only the spirits were powerful enough to cause such destruction in their realm. When Kai asked why they would do so, Korra suggested that they had done so to warn humans to stay out of the Spirit World. Ikki reached forward touching one of the dead plants, and Korra attempted to stop, but was too late. Ikki's touch caused thorned vines to sprout from the ground and attack the airbenders. Korra held off the plants with her firebending, before the group managed to flee through the portal on Oogi. Upon their reappearance in Republic City, Korra and the others noticed General Iroh arriving with a detachment of the United Armed Forces to fortify the portal. Fearing that such a thing would anger the spirits further, Korra urged Iroh to withdraw his troops, but the general explained that President Raiko wanted the spirit portal locked down following last night's battle between the airbenders and the Triple Threats, and that it was not his goal to upset the spirits. Upon hearing this, Tenzin requested that Iroh allow the Air Nation to keep watch over the portal, but Iroh replied that he had his orders, and suggested that if he and Korra wanted the United Forces to leave, they should take the matter up with Raiko.



Korra and Tenzin left to meet Raiko at the housing construction project being overseen by Asami and Zhu Li, where the president and Wenyan were attempting to curry favor with the evacuees. Upon seeing Korra arrive, Wenyan tried to tell her that Raiko was busy and that she should book an appointment if she wanted to speak to him, but Korra responded by bending a scrap of earth over his mouth and walking past him. She and Tenzin urged Raiko to pull back the United Forces from the spirit portal, but Raiko refused. When Korra tried to argue that his actions would cause another spirit crisis, and that this would drastically reduce his election chances, Raiko retorted that the situation had only happened because of Korra's creation of the spirit portal. Korra tried to defend herself on the basis that she had only done so accidentally, while trying to save the city from Kuvira's out of control spirit weapon, but Raiko pointed out that her actions had nevertheless left many people homeless. He then turned to the refugees, informing them of the vacation she had taken while they were trying to recover from what had happened, despite claiming to have their best interests at heart. Raiko continued that he was once again having to deal with the consequences of her recklessness and selfishness; these remarks bought swift condemnation from Tenzin and Asami, who pointed out that it was Korra's leadership and actions that had stopped Kuvira from taking over the United Republic. However, Korra sadly told them not to worry, and that they should leave.

As Korra, Asami, Tenzin and Zhu Li walked toward Asami's office on the construction site, they discussed the possibility of having Zhu Li run for president in the upcoming elections, Korra remarked that it would be good to have a president she could get along with. Tenzin and Zhu Li left to return to the refugee camp, while Korra followed Asami into her office. Inside, Korra told Asami about what had happened to the land around the spirit portal, and lamented about the current situation, feeling that nothing had changed since the couple got together. Asami responded by moving close to her and telling her that one thing had changed; while there would always be problems to deal with, the couple could overcome anything as long as they stuck together. Korra blushed and started trying to tell Asami something, but she grew too nervous and she left the office, saying that she knew Asami had a lot of work to get back to.



Korra paid another visit to Asami's office the next morning, noticing a number of security guards around who had not been there yesterday. When Korra asked about this, Asami revealed that last night she had been visited by Jargala Omo and the Creeping Crystal Triad, who had attempted to extort her. Furious, Korra offered to go and intimidate Jargala into leaving Asami alone, but Asami urged her to let her handle the situation herself. When Korra insisted that she wanted to help Asami, her girlfriend replied that she did not need it, prompting Korra to turn away with a cold look. Recognizing her girlfriend's anger at her perceived ingratitude, Asami clarified that she simply did not want Korra to have to act as the Avatar every time she had a problem; Korra replied that she was not protective because she was the Avatar, but because she cared about Asami more than anyone and could not bear the thought of anything happening to her. Asami assured her that nothing would happen, and the couple embraced each other.

After the emotional moment, Asami offered to take Korra on a date that evening, suggesting that they could dine at Fan's Dumplings and perhaps enjoy a ride in a turtle-duck boat afterwards, with Korra happily accepting the offer. Asami failed to show up for the date however, and after Korra was unable to contact her by phone, she suspected that something had happened to her date. Calling Mako and Bolin, the trio went to Asami's office, discovering that it had been attacked and that Asami was nowhere to be seen. Suspecting that the Creeping Crystals had kidnapped her, Korra led the two brothers in attacking the Creeping Crystals' hideout and confronting Jargala. The triad leader denied kidnapping Asami, and allowed the trio to search the hideout if they needed proof. After they failed to find Asami, Jargala ordered them to leave before she and her triad forced them to, with Korra leaving while replying that she would like to see them try.



The team got into Mako's satomobile and Mako revealed that Wonyong had also gone missing, and hypothesized that he had been kidnapped by the Triple Threats due to Korra's hunch about business between the two. Korra guessed that the same thing had happened to Asami, but before they could investigate, before Lin called them with the news that Tokuga and the Triple Threats were attacking a police depot containing the tanks, airships and mecha suits that had been taken after the Earth Empire's attempted invasion of Republic City. Travelling to the depot with the other two to stop the attack, Korra discovered that Tokuga had been mutated by the dragon eel spirit, disfiguring his face and turning his right arm into a tentacle, and that the triad leader blamed her for what had happened to him. Korra explained that she had been trying to stop the spirit from attacking him, but Tokuga replied that she should have tried harder, and warned her that her actions would have consequences. He then revealed that he had kidnapped Wonyong, and forced the developer to work for him.

The members of Team Avatar tried to convince Tokuga to surrender, but Tokuga responded by noting they were missing a forth member, hinting that he had taken Asami. Enraged, Korra attacked him with a powerful airbending blast, demanding he reveal her location, but was briefly overpowered by the mutated triad leader, while Mako and Bolin were subdued by a pair of stolen mecha-suits soon afterwards. After Tokuga demanded that they and the police stand down and allow him and the Triple Threats to leave, Korra stood up and entered the Avatar State, preparing to fight Tokuga and the Triple Threats. Tokuga replied that if she refused to comply with his demands, Asami would die, indicating a captured airship with a chained Asami being held at the point of a fire dagger by one of Tokuga's men. Unwilling to risk Asami's life, Korra exited the Avatar State and allowed the Triple Threats to leave, sadly whispering to herself that this was all her fault.

Tracking down Asami Sato


After discovering her girlfriend had been kidnapped by Tokuga, Korra joined the police force in tracking down the Triple Threat Triad. Korra stood on a rooftop with Bolin, Mako, and Lin Beifong and remarked frustratedly that the police had the Triple Threat Triad surrounded, and they should strike now. Lin told her they could not, as Tokuga was holding the civilians in nearby apartment buildings hostages, threatening their lives should the police make a move. Despondent, Korra asked if she should do nothing to help, and Lin came over to talk to Korra saying she had heard about the two, and that they would work to get Asami out of harms way. Korra said that the two had been through many rough situations together, but this time it felt different.

Shortly after, some police had news for Lin and she moved away from the group, leaving the three remaining members of Team Avatar standing on a rooftop, and Mako approached Korra. Korra asked if his arm was feeling any better, but he told her that he had been seeing Kya for treatments but was still unable to bend with it. Mako asked Korra how she was doing, and Korra responded that she was not holding up much better either. She continued that Tokuga's words about her actions having consequences had been on her mind, and she could not help but feel as though maybe if she had continued to protect Tokuga instead of rushing to save Asami the entire situation could have been avoided. Mako dismissed Korra's worries, saying that Tokuga had simply been trying to get into her head; he also said that he knew what Korra was going through, as he had felt a similar way when Korra had been kidnapped by Tarrlok three years prior, and added that he thought he knew a way to find Asami as long as he waited for Lin Beifong to leave.

Korra hugged Mako, and thanked him for being understanding. After exiting Korra's embrace, Mako said that he had been acting a little weird, because he had never had two of his exes date each other before, and it was taking a little time to adjust to. However, he said that he thought the two of them were perfect for each other and that he felt he was the most qualified person to say that.

Shortly after, the remainders of Team Avatar left in Mako and Bolin's cop car to an abandoned building Mako claimed the police had gotten reports of Creeping Crystal activity inside. Korra urged the group to go inside, as Mako clarified to Bolin that they were not here to take the triad down, but to ask them for help. Some of Jargala's men let Korra in, and Korra told Jargala she had realized who had truly taken Asami. Mako furthered that they wished to make a deal, and Korra asked Jargala if she knew of any secret passages throughout Republic City, and in exchange, she promised Jargala she would lead her to where Tokuga's hideout was. Jargala agreed to these terms, and led the trio through some of the old passages in Republic City.

Team Avatar and the Triple Threats immediately sprung into attack, as Korra used a large air gust to knock over several of the mecha suits watching over Asami and Wonyong Keum. Korra continued to fight off several of the Triple Threats in mecha suits, but noticed that Tokuga, Asami and Wonyong were escaping in an air ship. Korra ran after them with Bolin and Mako, and called for Jargala to follow her, but the triad leader elected to stay behind instead. Bolin called for Korra to hop onto his motorcycle, but Korra said she had her own ride and created an air scooter she used to chase down Tokuga. She said she had a hunch he was going back to where all of this started, and led the two brothers toward the spirit portal.

Korra rushed through the barricades that had been set up, and checked up on the airbenders who had been protesting the United Republic's military occupation. Korra told Tenzin she needed to borrow Oogi, and as Tenzin called after her to be careful, dismissed him saying that Tenzin had known she was never careful. Korra flew up on the bison heading toward Tokuga's airship. She landed on the ship and jumped inside, to see that the pilot's room had been filled with poisonous gas. Korra airbent a sphere of air around herself to help keep the gas away, and seeing Asami in danger, bent one around her as well. Korra offered to drive the airship, but Asami dismissed the suggestion due to her poor driving ability, and said she would fly as long as Korra distracted Tokuga. Korra agreed with Asami's analysis, saying that was probably for the best, only to be interrupted by Tokuga arriving and shattering the glass, allowing the poison gas to leak out of the ship.

Korra shouted to Asami, and Asami decided to land the ship in the Spirit World since the gas was not affecting Tokuga due to the fact he was half spirit, and assumed the poison gas would not affect spirits. Korra and Tokuga continued to fight, as Tokuga swatted at her with his tentacle arm and Korra kicked a gust of air at him; Korra moved from her attack and told him he was done terrorizing Republic City. However, Tokuga smirked and declared he had only just begun, as he chi-blocked Korra, and left her without her bending. Just as he was about to land a fatal strike on Korra, Asami turned the airship, knocking both combatants off their feet, as she demanded that Tokuga keep his "slimy scales off her girlfriend". Tokuga was about to fall out of the shattered windows of the air ship, before he wrapped his tentacle around the window bars, saying that it would take more to get rid of him. Just then, Wonyong Keum appeared holding a hatchet, and cut Tokuga's tentacle arm leaving him to fall, and keeping Korra safe from his attack.

As soon as the ship hit the ground, Bolin, who had followed the ship into the spirit portal, ran over to make sure Korra was okay. She responded that she was, but that some of the Triple Threats were in pretty poor shape. Asami told Korra the landing was rougher than she would have liked, causing Korra to remark that the landing was better than anything she would have done, to which Asami jokingly agreed. Korra also told Asami that she was right, and that together the two could do anything, causing each other to embrace tightly. As soon as the two women released their embrace, the dragon eel spirit came toward the two and accused them of bringing more trouble to the spirits' realm. The spirit claimed that as long as the portal was open, men like Keum would always attempt to exploit it. Korra started to agree, questioning her decisions in keeping the portal open, until Wonyong agreed to cease construction at the portal, saying that he owed his life to Korra and Asami and was willing to do whatever he could to help keep peace. The dragon eel spirit and others returned to their normal forms, and told Korra they could accept this proposal, but that from now on the spirits would be keeping an eye on her and the rest of humanity. Bolin approached Korra and said that he could not find Tokuga, and that he had not been spotted leaving the portal or in the area surrounding the crash or his drop. Korra proposed that he would lie low for a while, but that he would be back eventually.

Three weeks later, Korra attended an event for Zhu Li's political campaign on the night of the announcements of the results. While there, she saw her parents and her father asked how Asami was doing. She remarked that she had thought he did not want to know, but that she understood because of the historic Water Tribe culture. He remarked that he did care, and knew that their culture could be somewhat stifling, but that she and Asami had his support no matter what. Korra thanked her dad, and approached Asami, asking to talk. Asami asked if it could wait one minute, because they were about to announce the election results. Shiro Shinobi announced that Zhu Li had won in a landslide victory, and invited her to the stage to make an acceptance speech. As Zhu Li begun speaking, Korra and Asami stood next to each other. As Zhu Li neared the end of her speech and begun to quote Avatar Aang, Korra invited Asami to follow her out onto the balcony, where the two held hands and embraced, and Korra told Asami that she loved her, and Asami responded in turn that she loved Korra too.

Legacy
By 174 AG, Republic City Park had been renamed Avatar Korra Park in commemoration of Korra's acts of heroism and a statue of her was erected there as well.

Personality


On the surface, Korra is fierce, independent, and pugnacious, but beneath her tough exterior, she possesses a strong loyalty toward her friends and duty as the Avatar. She also has an admirable compassion and devotion, demonstrated when she expresses love toward things such as her family and friends. Her offensive battle style means that she is always quick to initiate or rise to a challenge, and is similarly quick witted and impulsive, especially in heated situations. As an "Avatar-in-training", she lacked perception toward the damage her bending is capable of, and her rash decisions often resulted in her accidentally insulting others.

True to Korra's character, Lin once stated to Tenzin that it was "hard to believe [his] sweet-tempered father was reincarnated into that girl". Her personality is, in many ways, the opposite of her past life's; Aang was a peaceful, diffident, nomadic airbender, whereas Korra is tough, impatient, headstrong, sarcastic, and assertive. She has a habit of getting close-up to people when confronting them, sometimes grabbing them by the chin when trying to get her point across. Additionally, while Aang was initially reluctant to be the Avatar, to the point where he ran away to prevent his responsibilities as the Avatar from disturbing his life, Korra fully embraced her position as the Avatar from a young age, reveling in its power. However, similar to Aang, she also has a good sense of humor and enthusiasm, and a vulnerable teenage charm.



Being initially unable to connect with her spiritual side proved to be a stumbling block in Korra's training, and she admitted that her personality is the opposite of the typical airbender's; as Tenzin noted, Avatars tend to struggle with the bending art most opposite their personality. Due to the lack of a spiritual center in her life, Korra is impulsive and therefore has a hard time hiding her true feelings; this could be seen in her reaction to learning that Asami Sato was Mako's date during the gala Tarrlok threw in her honor, where she immediately expressed her jealousy by being rather hostile toward Asami and short with Mako.

Due to her concentration on the physical side of bending, Korra was initially quite worried when she saw "the revelation" of Amon's true abilities during his demonstration, a fear which expressed itself in Amon's words in the nightmare she had soon afterward, "Once I take your bending away, you will be nothing." This and her later encounter with Amon revealed this fear. She tried repressing these fears for the good of Republic City when she joined Tarrlok's task force, but had trouble staying her usual upbeat self and became rather reclusive, and eventually made the rash decision to call Amon out in a one-on-one duel. This indicates that she is ruled by her emotions even when she tries to pretend they do not exist, leaving her vulnerable to Amon as shown by the results of the said encounter.



Like her immediate predecessor Aang, Korra places a high priority on her position as the Avatar, despite their different approaches. Although at first Aang was uncomfortable with having to use outright violence to bring balance to the world, he eventually developed an unrelenting determination toward following his age-old destiny. Korra, on the other hand, takes a non-conformist stance over her Avatar training. For instance, after trying out pro-bending, she stated to Tenzin that the reason why she had been unable to airbend was because the Avatar no longer needed it and was instead meant to focus on modern styles of fighting. Tenzin quickly stamped her proposal out as preposterous, reminding her that the Avatar is destined to master all four elements at all costs.

Upon learning that she was kept locked away from the world by Tonraq and Tenzin, Korra became quite irate toward them, being hostile whenever they tried to speak with her. Korra expressed more hostility for her father after learning about his past in the Northern Water Tribe. However, when she found out that Tonraq was not involved with an effort to overthrow Unalaq, she forgave him quickly. Korra has no qualms intimidating or threatening whomever has offended her friends and loved ones, as exemplified when she struck fear to the Equalist protester to find out Bolin's whereabouts, and when she threatened to feed Judge Hotah to Naga if he would not comply to her wishes. After learning the truth about her father's banishment, Korra developed an animosity toward Unalaq, which caused her to dismiss him as her spiritual mentor. Once she realized that Unalaq had been using her to try to free Vaatu from his prison in the Spirit World, her animosity toward her uncle increased in intensity.

After learning the origins of the Avatar Spirit through the life of Avatar Wan and regaining her memories, Korra became more patient and humble, as exemplified when she thanked Tenzin for his undying loyalty to her.

After the Harmonic Convergence, Korra demonstrated a more patient demeanor yet still retained her impulsive nature. This is evident when she tried to physically force Ryu, an airbending slacker, into becoming a part of the new Air Nation against his will, with Mako and Bolin eventually forced to drag Korra out to stop the mayhem.



Korra's temper and rage, once provoked, could border on murderous, as during her captivity by the Red Lotus and still believing that Zaheer had killed her father, Korra declared that she would be free and none of the Red Lotus would survive. She fully intended to kill Zaheer, showing her righteous fury, but with a dark and wrathful side to her as well.

After barely surviving her encounter with Zaheer and having the poison removed from her system, Korra was placed in a wheelchair during her recovery, which left her traumatized and in a state of depression. She still showed compassion and pride for her friends throughout, however, and was present when Jinora received her airbending tattoos, crying during the ceremony. In the following years, she struggled to recover, suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and being haunted by flashbacks to her encounter with Zaheer. Although she recovered physically, her emotional struggle led her to embark on a journey to reconnect with her Avatar Spirit while hiding her identity as the Avatar, going against her tendency of being prideful about it. After an elderly Toph helped her to face and overcome her fears of her past enemies, Korra bent the residual mercury out of her body and regained the ability to enter the Avatar State, though it was not until she faced Zaheer in person and was helped by him to accept what had happened to her and release her fear of "what might have been" that she was able to fully reconnect with Raava.

Bending


As the Avatar, Korra has the unique ability to use all four elements, and has the potential to become the most powerful bender in the world. Furthermore, since she was a child, Korra has always had a remarkable affinity for the physical aspect of bending. She also quickly took to the three different styles of pro-bending with simple instructions from her teammates, greatly impressing them after only a week of training to ultimately become a highly capable member of the Fire Ferrets. While in the Avatar State, Korra is able to use an air spout to raise herself into the air while unleashing all four elements in rapid succession. Later after more training, Korra becomes able to easily enter this form with complete control, even during intense competition.

Waterbending


Korra's waterbending abilities manifested at a young age, before she had even been recognized as the Avatar by the Order of the White Lotus. Subsequently trained formally in the art for over a decade by Katara, Korra has demonstrated a high level of skill in this art in addition to its various techniques. She is capable of creating large walls of ice, powerful water whips, and water waves strong enough to push back and, when frozen, contain an enormous mecha suit standing over twenty-five stories tall. She can also launch herself high into the air and maintain the height on a gigantic waterspout easily, fight off several aerial attacks with various water attacks, and propel herself plus another person through the water at high-speeds to avoid attacks. She used her waterbending abilities to procure herself a spot on the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team, referring to herself as a "top-notch waterbender". While she was taught Northern and Southern style waterbending, which both employ fluid motions, Korra has quickly adapted to Republic City's more aggressive, straightforward waterbending style. Korra is also able to draw a sufficient supply of water from the air for her bending. Korra also has sufficient knowledge of bloodbending to fully understand the nature of its application, despite having never used the outlawed skill.

Healing


During her waterbending training, Korra was also taught the advanced skill of healing. As Katara was well-regarded as the best healer in the world, Korra herself became highly skilled in the art, something she takes pride in. By using a small supply of water as a catalyst on the targeted area, Korra is able to drastically increase the healing rate of injuries. Korra's skills were great enough to quickly soothe away the pain on Bolin's injured arm, and mitigate the severe burns on General Iroh's arm, leaving no trace of scars.

Despite her short time studying under her uncle Unalaq, a spiritual expert, Korra managed to learn his technique of spiritbending, which involves changing negative energy into positive energy in spirits in order to pacify them. While she only managed to understand the mechanics in the beginning, Korra eventually successfully performed the technique and was able to calm countless small spirits at once. She was even able to use the technique to destroy Unalaq and purify the dark spirit Vaatu when the two were fused together as the Dark Avatar. Following her uncle's death, Korra became the only known living practitioner of the skill.

Earthbending


Korra's earthbending abilities also manifested at an early age. Spending many years of intense training, Korra has gained great mastery in this art. While regularly using traditional earthbending tactics in combat, she quickly learned the basics of pro-style earthbending from Bolin, able to attack more akin to a firebender with light footwork and quick jabs. Her prowess is great enough to easily take control of earth targets levitated by other earthbenders. She has demonstrated her adept skill and ability in earthbending on several occasions, notably launching a member of the Triple Threat Triad several stories into the air. Korra's earthbending is also able to affect a considerable radius, upturning and demolishing everything in the area. As seen when pairing with Bolin, Korra is able to effectively synchronize her earthbending with another person to increase the versatility and control of her target.

Metalbending


During Korra's stay at Zaofu, Suyin Beifong offered to train her in the art of metalbending. Suyin started Korra on a meteorite as a beginner and she quickly adjusted to the metallic body and learned to mold it into various forms. As such, she became the first Avatar to learn metalbending. Korra quickly became more versed in metalbending, being able to skillfully wield metal cables with great dexterity and fluidity in her movements and ensnare her opponents, even more experienced metalbenders, with the said cables. She can also tear through a large, thick metal wall obstructing her path, albeit with some difficulty as she is still somewhat new to this skill. Korra's control eventually became of such a level that she was able to remove residual traces of mercury out of her own body, easily pry open the roof of vehicles, and fluidly reshape metal.

Firebending


As with earth and water, fire also manifested at a young age. Due to the fact that she resorts to offensive maneuvers when under pressure, Korra relies a lot on firebending in combat. Her firebending training was finished when she passed the test impressively at the age of seventeen, having learned various advanced techniques such as the breath of fire. Against other firebenders, she can easily deflect and disperse the enemies' attack. Her control is so fine, she is able to produce a small yet intense flame at her fingers that she can maintain to melt through metal chains. She can likewise produce daggers in each hand for close-range combat. She can propel herself through the air with firebending in short bursts, and use these bursts to run along a wall. Contrary to the usual difficulty an Avatar has with learning the opposite of his/her native element, firebending has become second nature to her. Korra tends to utilize firebending when provoked, frustrated, or attempting to assert dominance, such as when she falls back on firebending a newspaper cut out of Lin after failing to do so with airbending. Tenzin attributed this unusual combination to her innate personality being quite fit for the art thanks to her natural assertiveness and fiery spirit.

Airbending


Unlike the prior three elements, airbending did not come easily to Korra. Tenzin explained that it was due to its innate nature of being the most opposite to her personality. While initially having difficulty with airbending's fighting style and battle tactics, during her first pro-bending match, she was able to employ basic airbending movements to dodge the opposing team's assault and ultimately tire them out to win the match for her team. As her training has progressed, her understanding of its moveset greatly improved, and she was able to quickly and gracefully progress through the gates and ultimately learned all of its physical maneuvers; she later applied these tactics against the Lieutenant, effectively dodging all his attacks.

After Amon severed Korra's connection to her first three elements and was about to take Mako's firebending, Korra's emotional build up allowed her to fully connect with her spiritual side to utilize airbending. Despite only knowing the theory and practice of its forms, Korra has shown considerable skill and power in airbending: being able to create air blasts from punching and kicking movements, which were strong enough to send Amon flying several yards through a window. Although she has shown great power in her offensive use of airbending, her style of airbending varies dramatically from other airbenders, employing straightforward offensive movements similar to firebending while showing little of the more characteristic circular and spiraling movements. Six months after the Anti-bending Revolution, she has nearly mastered the art, employing traditional maneuvers, such as gliding, and is able to proficiently use several advanced skills, such as the air scooter. Over time, she took to using a glider both for means of transports and as a way to augment her airbending in combat. After learning from Jinora, Korra became able to separate her spirit in astral form and travel to the Spirit World through meditation. Korra further refined her airbending in the following years, showing the ability to create an air bubble around a person's head to provide them with oxygen and keep poisonous gases at bay. Ultimately, air has become Korra's second most used element, and she is confident enough in her prowess to at least teach the basics to other airbenders.

Energybending


Upon connecting with her past lives for the first time, Avatar Aang restored Korra's bending abilities and bestowed her with the knowledge of energybending. Although never having used it herself before, she was able to freely restore a person's bending, as she did so with Lin Beifong's earthbending. Following the Anti-bending Revolution, Korra extensively used energybending to restore the bending of those benders whom Amon victimized with his bending severing bloodbending technique, except for a few who used their bending for crime, such as Shady Shin.

Korra is also capable of using energybending to connect with her own inner spirit, giving her access to the cosmic energy of the universe, creating a giant astral projection of herself. In this form, she can unleash energy blasts from her chest that can overpower the Dark Avatar's in a direct clash. Although disconnected from her physical body, Korra remained capable of waterbending.

After Raava made her aware that when she was in the Spirit World, she was connected to all the spiritual energy, Korra realized that she was capable of bending that energy, with or without her physical body. As such, she was able to release trapped souls from a vegetative pod after she had meditated into the Spirit World and divert a beam powered by spirit energy in the physical world.

Other skills


In addition to bending, Korra also has considerable physical prowess. Her impressive raw strength allows her to easily lift Tenzin and his children at the same time, or a grown man with one arm. Likewise, she can easily leap across long distances and over high obstacles from a stationary position, as well as effectively traverse various terrains and vertical surfaces with great speed to hoist herself easily up and off rooftops. She can easily throw a much larger and heavier opponent against a set of pipes with enough force to break them, and can shatter large chunks of ice launched at her with a single punch each. She is also capable of swimming across large bodies of water.

Korra is also quite fast and agile with sharp reflexes, able to easily dodge a much larger opponent's assault in a narrow area or a metalbender's launched cable from close-range. Her dexterity and balance are also considerably high, allowing her to skillfully dodge a large barrage of projectiles nearly unscathed, further aiding her in battle. She has impressive acrobatic skills akin to parkour and free-running; she can slide across surfaces with great control, perform mid-air flips and twirls, run up and across walls. She is also quite flexible, able to bend and twist effectively enough to attack from various angles or squeeze through most spaces. Korra can also be quite precise in her attacks, detaining several skilled Southern waterbenders without inflicting any major injuries.

Korra is also a highly proficient unarmed fighter, able to knock out opponents with a single kick, simultaneously dodge an attack while sweep-kicking the enemy's legs, and once subdued a man using only Mako's scarf. Even against an expert weapons-wielder like the Lieutenant, Korra skillfully parried and countered his close-range assault. Furthermore, with a combination of bending attacks, she was able to create openings and land powerful physical blows, ultimately defeating him. Even without her bending, she was able to defeat several chi blockers before being rescued by Naga.

Korra also has keen instincts under pressure, demonstrating capable tactical and escape skills, such as using her armband as an insulator against the Lieutenant's electrical assault, and faking unconsciousness in order to catch the Equalists by surprise. Her resilience is also considerably high as she is one of few who canceled and broke free from a bloodbending grip, albeit with some difficulty.

Korra is also an eloquent public speaker. She was initially nervous when she had to speak in her first press conference in Republic City. During the gala, Korra's brashness got the best of her after being pitted against a group of reporters, haphazardly giving empty threats to Amon to cover up her fear of him. Over time, Korra became more confident and composed when it was required of her to speak publicly, considering her words before saying them. This was exemplified when she declared the independence of the Southern Water Tribe and her decision to keep the spirit portals open.

Having lived in the South Pole all her life and with Naga as her main means of transportation, Korra never learned how to drive prior to her arrival in Republic City. She gradually learned to do so under Asami's tutelage, though she still struggles between the clutch and the brake. Korra is also capable of piloting a speedboat.

Medium


As the Avatar, Korra also has the capacity to act as a bridge between mortal world and the Spirit World, the plane of existence where the universe's disembodied spirits dwell. Despite this, Korra had always struggled with the spiritual aspects of being the Avatar, initially being unable to connect with her past lives or enter the Spirit World on her own. As her training under Tenzin progressed, she had slowly begun to connect with her spiritual side, seeing visions of her past life as Aang. Later, after her encounter with Amon, all of her active bending abilities were taken away, but this allowed her to finally break free from her airbending block and defeat Amon. Upon sinking into despair after Katara was unable to restore her lost bending, Korra was finally able to connect with her past lives, which restored all her bending abilities, as well as passing on to her the ability to energybend. With her newfound spirituality, she can enter and leave the Avatar State at will.



After being attacked by a dark spirit, Korra was forced to undertake a spiritual journey to rediscover herself. She ultimately gained a deeper connection with the Avatar Spirit and her past lives, all the way to the original Avatar, Wan. With this strengthened connection, Korra is able to purify dark spirits by balancing the energy within them, as well as access various memories from her past lives, including Avatar Aang's memory of Iroh and Toph, and Avatar Wan's memory of his personal teapot. Following the events of the Harmonic Convergence in 171 AG, Korra lost her connection to her past lives by being temporarily separated from Raava, who was destroyed. Due to some residual traces of mercury in her body after her battle with Zaheer, Korra lost the ability to contact Raava and was unable to enter the Avatar State for three years. However, after she bent the remaining mercury out of herself in 174 AG, she regained the power to enter the Avatar State, though it was only after facing Zaheer and releasing her fear of him and the near death experience she suffered that she was able to contact Raava again. She also learned to connect to people's energy via spirit vines.
