Out of all the people to feel sympathy for, Korra isn't one of them. If she really thought that her attitude would be much different, but she doesn't, not even once. She doesn't care at all about the fact that Aang mastered the elements at such a young age (He hadn't mastered them all by 12 - If I recall, he wasn't a master firebender at the very least). In fact, we have nothing for her to make us feel sympathetic toward her. She's got everything, she's got a home, a family, a safe place were people care about her and protect her, she's just a stuck up teenager who doesn't appreciate what she's got. Fine, but don't expect sympathy.

Now, Asami on the other hand lost her mother (Katara and Sokka... anyone?), that alone makes us feel sympathy for her. The fact that she's come out of it so strong says a lot about her personality. Sure, now she's lost her father too, and yes that means she gets the company. Doesn't mean we should feel any different about her. By the end, she's still lost a lot. (You know, some of this is starting to sound familiar... what was that I said before... hmm...) Anyway... it's still a lot for a single person to take, despite getting something "good" out of it in the end. Her attitude is pretty admirable after everything she's been through. So yeah, she needs a break, but the same could be said for another character...hmm... wonder who that is?

Bolin and Mako should have some sympathy. They lost their parents and had to fend for themselves. Nothing good came of that. Well, ok... probending, I guess. Though that happened later, not really as a direct result. Mako actually cares about his brother, but seems a bit to serious in comparison to Bolin's own attitude. Sure, Bolin acts like a kid, but hey... he's a teen having some fun, issue with that? Outside of the parental thing, nothing else really happens to Mako. The only thing, is losing his brother. But he gets him back right away. In fact he happened to have the attention of two girls (and in no way they ugly), what's he got to be so moody about? Bolin on the other hand actually liked Korra, going so far as to try and go on a date with him, doing some fun stuff. He really liked her, but he got shot down. Sure, it ain't the end of the world (as he soon realised), but it's heartbreaking nonetheless. For that, much more sympathy should be given to Bolin, not Mako.
