Raava

Raava was a female spiritual being who was created in ancient times by the Celestial Force goddess known as Morai. She embodied the aspects of light and peace across the planet Reylea and its Sixteen Realms, in opposition to her twin counterpart, Vaatu, who was the spirit of darkness and chaos. Much of Raava's existence was spent combating Vaatu in order to keep Reylea from falling to darkness, though neither were able to ever fully destroy the other.
During Reylea's first age, Raava and Vaatu were forced into a temporary alliance with the emergence of the Oni, a race of immensely powerful beings who served the Darkness itself. With Reylea and all Sixteen Realms facing the threat of imminent destruction, Raava and her eternal foe fought together―alongside many others across the realms, including the Ones―in a war of cosmic proportions to defeat the Oni. Raava herself participated in a great battle against the leader of the Oni, assisting in his internment at the Source Wall, a cosmic barrier circumscribing the Ethereal Divide.
Following the Oni War, Raava and Vaatu inevitably resumed their conflict for control over Reylea's fate, with Vaatu's victory seemingly assured with the Harmonic Convergence in the year 9,829 BG. However, Raava was able to defeat Vaatu after permanently fusing her essence to the human Wan, resulting in the creation of the Avatar and her becoming what was referred to as the "Avatar Spirit."
==Personality and traits==
Raava was an ancient and powerful spirit whose appearance resembles a large "kite" with long wispy tendrils, glowing brightly and colored white and blue.
As a creation of Morai, Raava revered the Celestial being and held her in high regard. She was dedicated to her task as the protector of balance on the planet Reylea, to which she was charged with overseeing by Morai. Despite this, Raava also showcased an abrasive attitude to anyone who posed a threat to that balance, and was not as benevolent as her creator. Although she fought her dark counterpart Vaatu for the betterment of both spirits and humans, she originally held humankind in low regard, deeming them all to be incapable of nobility, courage, and care for anyone else but themselves. As such, she was quick to blame Wan for his mistakes and remained alert for further errors. However, over time she came to realize that she had been too harsh to judge all humans to be the same, and came to care deeply for Wan and his future reincarnations; each reincarnation of the Avatar allowed Raava to experience what it truly meant to be human and come closer to understanding them.
==Powers and abilities==
As a spiritual being created by Morai, Raava was a powerful entity who held a strong connection to the light side of the Force, albeit in a far different manner than most. As with her counterpart, Vaatu, Raava is incredibly long-lived, having been locked in battle with him for tens of thousands of years. If she is overcome by Vaatu, she can gradually reform herself from the vestigial light within him.
Because she does not possess a definite physical form as a spirit, Raava is able to inhabit the body of most humanoids and assert a level of influence on her host. Unlike other spirits, Raava's presence in another's body did not leave physical deformations, though it still put the host in mortal danger. She is also capable of carrying the power of multiple elements, and was charged with holding the elements for Wan until he had learned to master them. It was only when Wan was merged with Raava's essence that he was able to bend all four elements simultaneously.
Following the Harmonic Convergence where Raava was merged with Wan's spirit, she lived on as the Avatar Spirit. She enabled the Avatar to contact a past life as well as provide a considerable boost of power while in the Avatar State. However, due to the difficulty involved in reaching back to the origin of the Avatar, a large number of incarnations have never interacted with Raava as a personality with whom they could converse, but rather experienced her force.
