When Amon attacked and significantly damaged the Pro-bending Arena,[6] Mako and Bolin moved to Asami's mansion to live with her and her father. She is capable of creating large walls of ice, powerful water whips,[12] and water waves strong enough to push back and, when frozen, contain an enormous mecha suit standing over twenty-five stories tall. With the spirit portals left open, spirit vines started to overtake Republic City. History He almost lost his bending, but was saved by the timely awakening of Korra's airbending. Both include sibling pairs (Sokka/Katara and Mako/Bolin). Korra showcased her martial arts skills by shattering ice projectiles thrown at her by Tarrlok. Korra's bending training is similar to Aang's in that they both learned their native elements from a childhood friend of their previous life; Korra learned waterbending from Katara, who became Aang's wife, while Aang learned airbending from Gyatso, a friend of Roku. Lubâs breathing is shallow and the wounds around his body are already forming large masses of flesh just like (Y/n)âs arm, shoulder, and chest. Determined to end the haunting, Korra confronted the apparition, though lost. 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. At the spirit portal, the team split up; Asami took care of Tonraq while Mako and Bolin occupied Unalaq to give Korra enough time to close the spirit portals before Harmonic Convergence started. 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. 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. Taking offense at this, Korra retorted, but Asami told her that she felt people would want to see the Avatar, not her. 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. [42] 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 said cables. 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. At one point, she wrote a letter back to Asami, in which she apologized for not having written before. [56] 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. 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. When Asami argued that they could not be certain of Kuvira's trustworthiness, Korra replied that being blasted into the Spirit World had served as a wake-up call for her. Meanwhile, Mako and Bolin discovered that Aiwei was staying at the Misty Palms Inn. 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. 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. Due to the fact that she resorts to offensive maneuvers when under pressure, Korra relies a lot on firebending in combat. [28] However, her parents were arrested and tried for treason, nonetheless, a trial during which only her mother was acquitted. [38], 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. Aang (as the Avatar)Hasook (as the waterbending member of the Fire Ferrets) Mako and Bolin faced Tokuga, the Triple Threats' new leader, though failed to arrest him, while Korra and Asami focussed on taking down the gang members. Hearing her refusal, Wu stood up to leave, believing that Hou-Ting might have been right. In terms of biological age, she is the second youngest known, with Avatar Aang being the youngest. Upon finding the airbenders, Bumi relayed the message to Lin, informing her and Asami to come get them with their airships. 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. Korra and Kuvira were thrown into the Spirit World. Oracle. Convinced that she needed to discover how to reconnect with Raava on her own, Korra declined the help of the spirits. Back at the temple, Ghazan flooded the temple with lava, forcing Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Tenzin to retreat deeper into the building. Korra later convinced Asami not to lock Kuvira inside a platinum cell for the journey to Gaoling, assuring her girlfriend that she would do so herself if Kuvira made a wrong move, though Asami insisted that she would not take her eyes off Kuvira. She landed on the ship and jumped inside to see that the pilot's room had been filled with poisonous gas. In this form, she can unleash energy blasts from her chest that can overpower the Dark Avatar's in a direct clash. Asami and Varrick planned to ship mecha tanks to the South in order to aid the rebels and prevent Future Industries from going into bankruptcy. Mako was shocked and froze, taking time to process the events. Both have a member defying their parent(s) (Zuko/Toph and Asami). Shortly after the Unalaq Crisis, Korra temporarily lost her bending due to being attacked by chi blocking darts. Team Avatar Korra's design was inspired by various female MMA fighters, one being Gina Carano. Before leaving, however, Korra leaned in and kissed, both stating that it had been a wonderful few days. Kuvira then volunteered to be the test subject, noting that it was her responsibility to clean up the messes of the Earth Empire and Guan. With Asami, Mako, and Bolin on the front lines, Korra tried to reason with her girlfriend, but she kept advancing. A stalemate occurred after Ghazan used his lavabending to form a burning moat between his friends and a paralyzed Korra, and Team Avatar and Zaofu's guards, during which both sides bombarded each other with bending attacks. However, when she was about to forcefully drag a new airbender along, the two brothers intervened and led her away. Albeit unaware of the newly-formed relationship between Korra and Asami, the brothers did pick up on the changed atmosphere between the two. AsamiBolinKorraMako [41] While training Opal in the basics, Korra was taught metalbending by Suyin, becoming the first metalbending Avatar. Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. Tenzin explained that it was due to its innate nature of being the most opposite to her personality. Korra remarked that it would be good to have a president she could get along with. When the United Forces came, the team watched from the secret tunnel near the sea. ; Love Live! Korra continued to fight off several of the Triple Threats in mecha suits but noticed that Tokuga, Asami, and Wonyong were escaping in an airship. However, upon navigating over the Lower Ring and seeing all the destruction going on there, they decided to stop at their grandmother, Yin's, home and subsequently evacuated their entire family onto the airship. Enraged, Korra attacked him with a powerful airbending blast, demanding he reveal her location, but she was briefly overpowered by the mutated triad leader while Mako and Bolin were subdued by a pair of stolen mecha-suits soon afterward. They were greeted by Aiwei, who escorted the group to the home of Suyin Beifong, the matriarch of Zaofu and the mother of the new airbender. As they finished speaking, the same dragon bird spirit who had helped Korra three years prior appeared to give them a lift. Korra is the second known Avatar to be seen restoring someone's bending that had been previously taken away and the first to be seen doing so while presently alive. After learning from Jinora, Korra became able to separate her spirit in astral form and travel to the Spirit World through meditation. Asami assured Korra that it was okay for her to take the time to heal, emphasizing that her friends were there for her whenever she would need them. At that moment, their conversation would be interrupted by the arrival of Guan and his army at the city hall. Lake Laogai was, due to its historical use, the first place they investigated, though Jinora, using her spiritual projection technique, found it completely flooded and abandoned. 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. 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. Although they were halted by the Dai Li and Hou-Ting, who warned Korra that taking the airbenders would constitute as an act of war, they all managed to keep the earthbenders back while retreating safely onto the airships. Korra relieved that Asami had regained consciousness, kissed her. Although she did not find Zaheer, she did encounter Iroh, who advised her to talk to Zuko, as he had been Aang's best friend and would be the next best person to talk to after Aang himself. [47], 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. 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. Southern Water TribeFire Ferrets (formerly)Tarrlok's task force (formerly)Team Avatar He apologized to Mako for betraying his trust by ignoring his advice and siding with Kuvira, though found himself easily forgiven by him and Korra, who were just glad that he had returned safely.[32]. Now in the early days of 2289, the Courier embarks upon the eastern lands of a peaceful Commonwealth, retreading the old world roads once more. The following day, using passports provided by Tu, the brothers managed to return to the Upper Ring and reunited with Korra and Asami, where they relayed the message that the Earth Queen was capturing airbenders to conscript into her army. 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. [1], The two brothers and Asami, who were freed by Lin Beifong, eventually learned of the traitorous councilman's agenda and decided that their only hope of finding Korra was to track down and neutralize Tarrlok. Letting go of her fears of her past enemies, Korra was able to bend the mercury out of her body, relieving her mental block. 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. For instance, after trying out pro-bending, she told Tenzin that the reason she had been unable to airbend was that the Avatar no longer needed it and was instead meant to focus on modern styles of fighting. After fighting off three Dai Li agents, they resurfaced, only to come under fire from more Dai Li agents. 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. "When Extremes Meet" After talking about their feelings, Korra and Asami shared a kiss. The two brothers were invited to have a meal with their family, meeting their grandmother, Yin, for the first time in their lives. Born and raised in the Southern Water Tribe, where she mastered waterbending, earthbending, and firebending,[8] she later relocated to Republic City to attain a similar proficiency with airbending under the tutelage and guidance of Tenzin, as well as to help her overcome her aversion to the spiritual aspects of the bending arts. [15], In an attempt to prevent Unalaq from merging with Vaatu, Korra expelled her uncle from the Spirit World by tossing him through the Southern portal and tasked Mako and Bolin to keep him from entering 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. Affiliation Korra attempted to reason with the angry dragon eel spirit and told it that attacking humans would only make things worse. [34] 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. With Asami's help, the group was able to escape Hiroshi's forces and flee from the estate on a police airship. 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. AsamiBolinMakoNagaPabu General information It was with Jinora's help, however, that she managed to cross over,[34] though soon after they arrived, the girls got separated. Korra reached inside Vaatu for the reborn Raava. Korra flew up on the bison, heading toward Tokuga's airship. [28], 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. When questioned, Korra told Asami that she had been so confused she had not known if what she was feeling was real. Korra held an inspiring speech to the evacuees and talked about a bright future. When Korra finally managed to restore her contact with Raava, the Light Spirit lit up within her. Traveling 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 happily played with Naga in the snow while Tonraq and Senna discussed Naga's fate with Katara. 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. Hearing that the situation had been stabilized by Kuvira, she grew sad, stating that the metalbender was doing her job. When Su spotted Kuvira being attacked by Mako and Bolin at the reeducation camp, Korra stunned the brothers with airbending. 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 ⦠Korra told the mayor that he ought to thank Kuvira for taking matters into her own hands but told her that she was not off the hook and that she had her orders to take her back to Republic City, which the metalbender accepted. These names have not been used in canon, however. When Korra learned of Varrick's plan to kidnap Unalaq, she feared that her father was involved. Despite this, however, Korra did lament that she could not save him from Vaatu, showing that as badly as she felt toward her uncle, she never wanted him dead. [10], 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. After Avatar Korra arrived in Republic City and joined the Fire Ferrets,[3] she became good friends with Mako and Bolin. Traveling via the spirit lights to Republic City as well, Korra engaged UnaVaatu in battle. We would like to show you a description here but the site wonât allow us. Korra and Asami held hands and gazed at each other lovingly as they entered the spirit portal, beginning their romantic relationship. Korra was frustrated that she and the Republic City Police could not do anything to help fight Tokuga. [1] While Korra was recovering from her injuries after being poisoned with mercury by the Red Lotus, the group separated for three years. Bolin warned that Toph was not keen to get involved in world affairs the last time he met her, but Korra refused to lose hope, claiming they would just have to convince her otherwise.[62]. However, the Lieutenant had witnessed him bloodbending the Avatar. 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. 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. As Zhu Li began speaking, Korra and Asami stood next to each other. She was overpowered by him, however, and he extracted Raava out of her and destroyed the Light Spirit, effectively severing Korra's connection to all her past lives. Ultimately, Korra deduced that none of their plans would work, as Zaheer would execute his captives the moment he suspected foul play, and thus believed the only workable option was for her to give herself up, stating saving her to be of secondary importance after saving the Air Nation. Korra's earthbending is also able to affect a considerable radius, upturning and demolishing everything in the area. Moving past the tension, Korra shared a warm hug with Mako and Asami, truly reuniting as a team. 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, as she witnessed Amon on the verge of taking Mako's bending as well, she unlocked her airbending and managed to overpower Amon. [40] 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. Team Avatar discovered a secret room underneath Aiwei's home. The reaction to the Rugrats announcement and footage has been mixed. Worried about the reaction of the rest of the world, Korra was comforted by Kya, who recounted her own "coming out" experience. She gradually learned to do so under Asami's tutelage, though she still struggles between the clutch and the brake. Suyin subsequently extracted the metallic poison out of Korra, though the Avatar was deeply affected by the strain of the physical and mental fight. 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. Korra used her waterbending abilities to attack a mecha tank. Although they had some hard matches due to internal romantic struggles,[18] they managed to reach the finale. The four of them returned to Gaoling City Hall the next day, where they discovered that Guan had somehow acquired a large number of supporters from among the public, meaning that Toph's victory in the election was no longer guaranteed. 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. Korra later gathered outside Gaoling City Hall when Wu gave his speech proclaiming that the Earth Empire would need more time to move to democracy, with each state setting its own timetable according to its citizens' wishes. Korra and Asami eventually managed to free themselves and prevent being taken back to Ba Sing Se. Korra apologized to Asami as she encased her in earth cuffs and tried to recover Mako and Bolin before seeing them try and destroy the earth wall that Toph, Su, and Kuvira had bent. Regrouping with the Metal Clan, Kai led Team Avatar, Tenzin, Tonraq, Lin, and Suyin toward the Air Nomad caves where the airbenders were held.[28]. 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. Korra also told Asami that she was right and that together the two could do anything, causing each other to embrace. 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. Fan-based nicknames for the new Team Avatar include the "Krew", a portmanteau of Korra and "crew", and less commonly the "Komrades" or the "Korralition", a portmanteau of Korra with "comrades" and "coalition", respectively. 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,[2] Unalaq commissioned Zaheer, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li to kidnap her in 158 AG. Tenzin and his family escaped on Oogi, while Team Avatar used Naga to swim underwater back toward the city to hide among Republic City's hobo population until the United Forces arrived. She agreed to Zhu Li's suggestion that she go with Wu as a symbol of balance and peace, with the rest of Team Avatar joining her. Korra guessed that the same thing had happened to Asami, but before they could investigate, 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. Raiko continued that he once again had 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. Mako, feeling awkward around Korra, his ex-girlfriend, declined the offer, opting to reside at the police station instead. While Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi would look for Jinora, Mako and Bolin would hold Unalaq back while Korra closed the portals. The name of the group was devised by Bolin directly before an ⦠Korra and Mako managed to free them and prevent Amon from taking away their airbending abilities. 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. Both have member(s) who was the love interest of the Avatar (Katara, and Mako/Asami). 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. Even without her bending, she was able to defeat several chi blockers before being rescued by Naga. Soon enough meeting the Sole Survivor, a hero troubled by his own past, hiding his own secrets. 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. Status Korra thanked her dad and approached Asami, asking to talk. 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.
