Korra

Avatar Korra, from the Southern Water Tribe, is the Avatar immediately succeeding Aang. She is a teenage girl and is hotheaded and rebellious. Being the manifestation of the world in human form, Korra is the only person who can use all four bending disciplines.

Background
Korra was born in the Southern Water Tribe some time after the death of Aang. Not much is known about her early life. However, it can be assumed that Korra learned she was the Avatar and began to train in order to become a fully realized Avatar. Having already mastered Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending, Korra only needs to learn and master the art of Airbending and gain full control over the Avatar State in order to become a Fully Realized Avatar. About 70 years after the end of The War, Korra journeyed to Republic City seeking the tutelage of Tenzin, the son of Aang and Katara, as her Airbending master. During her travels, she discovered anti-bending unrest in the city.

Personality
Korra is fiery and pugnacious. Her personality in many ways is the opposite of Aang, her predecessor. Whereas Aang was a peaceful, nomadic Airbender, she is tough, headstrong, and combative. However, Korra also has a good sense of humour, with teenage charm and vulnerability.
