Korra's relationships

B

This page is about Korra and her relationships with other characters, including her home life and her life in Republic City. She is a friendly but fiery young girl who can be either very friendly or very intimidating.

Tonraq and Senna
"Mom, dad, I'll miss you." "We love you so much." - Korra saying goodbye to her parents in "Welcome to Republic City".



Although Korra's parents haven't had much screen time, she seems to have a good relationship with them. They were supportive of their young Avatar daughter and they even let her go to Republic City to follow her destiny. Korra also went to say goodbye before her voyage to the city.

Mako
"'Look, I really like you and I think we were meant for each other.' - Korra impulsively admitting her feelings to Mako in 'The Spirit of Competition'."

Korra first met Mako after Bolin let her into the pro-bending changing room to watch their match. Mako was very hostile towards Korra, viewing her as one of Bolin's "crazy fangirls". After the match, Korra watched Mako in awe as he defeated the opposing team all on his own. After the match, Korra asked Bolin to show her a few pro-bending moves, by doing so she reveals to the two of them that she is in fact the Avatar. Mako, vaguely impressed by her skills, stated that her earthbending was "not bad." Korra then wished to know what it would take to impress him. At the next match, when Hasook appeared to be a no-show, Korra filled in as the replacement waterbender. After a rocky start, she helped the Fire Ferrets win the match, urging Mako to call her "a natural". He then gave her a permanent spot on the team. Later when Bolin is not to be found, Mako assumed that he went to go see Korra. He interrupted Korra's airbending training, and Jinora and Ikki teased Korra for her crush on the firebender in the process. Mako didn't notice as he asked Korra where Bolin was. As Bolin was not to be found, Korra gave Mako a helping hand in finding him. During the search, the pair came across Skoochy, who told them that Bolin went off with the Triple Threat Triad. After a long night's search and being ambushed by chi blockers, Korra assured Mako that his brother would be found. After a heart warming talk about Mako's past, they fell asleep on each other's shoulders, causing Korra and Mako to be flustered when they awoke. Later on, while trying to infiltrate an Equalist rally to get Bolin, Mako gave Korra his scarf and they pose as a couple to attract less attention.

When Mako started to date the beautiful Asami Sato, Korra was very obviously jealous of this relationship; an example of her jealousy was when Mako and Asami were giving each other Eskimo kisses and Korra looked on in disgust.



As Korra was helping Ikki and Jinora feed the winged lemurs, the two become curious of Mako and Korra's impending romance and asked Korra about it. Stating that she did not have feelings for Mako, she did create a situation stating that "suppose I had feelings for Mako, what would I do?" Given elaborate and dramatic answers by the two, Korra was then alarmed by Pema who heard the entire conversation. After empathizing with Korra and giving her advice, Pema told Korra to confess her feelings. After an amazing match, Korra followed through with Pema's advice and confessed her feelings to Mako. After being rejected by Mako, she was then asked out by Bolin, who gave her enough confidence to be "date worthy" again. Mako, being jealous of Korra's impending relationship with Bolin, confronted her before their next match. He stated that he knows she's only dating Bolin to get back at him and that he's only looking out for his brother. But Korra saw right through his facade and states that Mako was in fact jealous. Mako rejected the idea using "I'm with Asami" as an excuse. The two have a fight, leading to more complications in their teamwork. After the match, Mako confronted Korra and revealed that he did in fact have feelings for her, but he was confused because of his relationship with Asami. Korra then kissed him, to which he kissed her back. Korra broke off the kiss as she noticed Bolin watching them. This caused another fight between the two and more drama between their team. After Korra won the match, they all agreed to be friends again, even though a romance was still lingering.

Bolin
"'You are one of a kind, Bolin.' - Korra to Bolin in 'The Spirit of Competition'."



Bolin allowed Korra entrance into the Pro-bending arena by telling Toza that she was with him. Bolin found Korra attractive since the moment he saw her, but she only viewed him as a friend, even after he brought her a pastry and a rose for saving him from Amon. Finally, after officially asking her out, Korra accepted to go on a date with Bolin. The two had fun on the date and Bolin stated that Korra was "one of a kind". After Bolin saw Korra kissing Mako, he ran away crying, causing Korra to feel sorry for Bolin and to worry about his well being. After the match, Korra healed his shoulder, and the two agreed that everything will be alright between them.

Tenzin


Although their relationship started out poorly, Korra truly believes that Tenzin is an amazing airbender and a great teacher. His teachings have helped Korra through her struggles and have taught her valuable lessons. Korra even confided her fears of Amon and the Equalists to Tenzin.

Asami Sato
Although jealous of her relationship with Mako, Korra was truly grateful for Asami because without her, the Fire Ferrets wouldn't be in the finals. Korra even thanked her for her father's financial support after the conclusion of the Fire Ferrets' semifinal match.

Katara


Being her waterbending teacher, Katara had known Korra ever since she was very little. Korra had learned much from Katara and even stated that she was the best waterbending teacher. Katara knew that Korra had to find her way as the Avatar and let her escape to Republic City. Katara even said that Korra "reminds me of myself as a young girl".

Naga
Although Naga is a polar bear dog, Korra views her as her best friend. Polar bear dogs were hunted by the Water Tribe, therefore, Korra is the first person to ever tame a polar bear dog and keep it as a pet. Korra and Naga do almost everything together and Naga always comes to Korra's aid when it is needed.

Jinora
Jinora sincerely tried to help Korra with her airbending training. She attempted giving Korra advice when first going through the airbending gates. Korra confided in her and her sister, Ikki, about her boy troubles as they were the first known people aware of her crush on Mako. She offered her advice about how Korra should to go about her crush by describing what happened in one of her books.

Ikki
Ikki is often seen helping Korra with her airbending training. Korra apparently confided in her and her sister, Jinora, about her boy troubles as they were the first known people aware of her crush on Mako. She told Korra to fix her problems by "brewing a love potion". Korra even let Ikki and her little brother Meelo play in the Satomobile that Tarrlok sent her.
