Ming-Hua

Ming-Hua is a supporting antagonist of The Legend of Korra, the sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, serving as one of the three secondary antagonists (alongside Ghazan and P'Li) of Book 3: Change.
She is one of the four most dangerous criminals in the world, along with Zaheer, Ghazan, and P'Li. Specifically, she is the archenemy of Mako. Ming-Hua is a powerful waterbender that notably uses a specialized and unique form of psychic waterbending which allows her to create water-composed appendages in place of arms, which she lacks. This is especially interesting since waterbending almost completely relies on arm movements.
==Biography==
Ming-Hua was born into one of the Water Tribes without arms. She mastered the art of waterbending and used them to create arms herself. 
Thirteen years prior to the series, P'Li, Zaheer, Ming-Hua and Ghazan attempted to abduct Avatar Korra as a child, planning to raise her in their philosophy after being guided so by Unalaq. However, their kidnapping attempt with stopped by Avatar Cora's father Tonroq, Chief Sokka, and Lord Zuko. 
Deemed extremely dangerous, Ming-Hua was placed in a specialized prison cell exclusively for her. Ming-Hua was imprisoned by the Avatar's allies in a volcanic prison. Also like her Red Lotus allies, she was brutally interrogated about her motives for kidnapping Korra, but none of the criminals revealed anything. Deprived of any entertainment, she occupied herself by making up stories about the guards. 
During a battle, she was killed by Mako when he directed a bolt of lightning toward her, which was conducted and strengthened by numerous water tendrils attached to her body
