Korra

Korra was a human female bender from the Southern Water Tribe — one of the Four Nations of the Deep Core planet of Reylea — and the immediate successor to Avatar Aang. Born and raised as the only child to Tonraq and Senna, Korra was discovered as the Avatar at the age of five, following which she was sequestered to a remote compound for her safety — a lonely upbringing which found comfort a year later when Caran, a young Force-sensitive boy, was adopted into her family after she found him as a baby in the wreckage of a crashed ship. Though Caran's origins and his powers remained a mystery, Korra instantly fell in love with her new adopted brother and grew fiercely protective of him. Gaining mastery over three of the four Bending Arts over the next decade, her struggle with its spiritual aspect compounded with her inability to Airbend — prompting her to sneak away with Caran in tow to Republic City, where she began her training under the reluctant tutelage of Tenzin, Aang's son.
==Personality and traits==
Korra was a human female with brown skin, blue-cyan eyes, black hair, and a muscular physique.
On the surface, Korra was fierce, independent, and pugnacious, but beneath her tough exterior, she possessed a strong sense of compassion and loyalty to family and friends, especially her adopted brother, Caran. She also carried a fierce devotion toward her duty as the Avatar. Her offensive battle style meant that she was always quick to initiate or rise to a challenge, and is similarly quick-witted and impulsive, especially in heated situations. As an "Avatar-in-training" she lacked perception toward the damage her bending was capable of, and her rash decisions often resulted in her accidentally insulting others.
Korra's personality was, in many ways, the opposite to that of her past life — Aang was a peaceful, diffident, nomadic airbender, whereas Korra was tough, impatient, headstrong, sarcastic, and assertive. She had a habit of getting close-up to people when confronting them, sometimes grabbing them by the chin when trying to get her point across. Additionally, while Aang was initially reluctant to be the Avatar, to the point where he ran away to prevent his responsibilities as the Avatar from disturbing his life, Korra fully embraced her position as the Avatar from a young age, reveling in its power. However, similar to Aang, she also had a good sense of humor and enthusiasm, and was vulnerable teenage charm.
Being initially unable to connect with her spiritual side proved to be a stumbling block in Korra's training, and she admitted that her personality is the opposite of the typical airbenders; as Tenzin noted, Avatars tend to struggle with the bending art most opposite their personality. Due to the lack of a spiritual center in her life, Korra was impulsive and therefore had a hard time hiding her true feelings; this proved especially true whenever she was around Caran, who knew her well enough to the point that he did not even need to use the Force to understand what she was feeling.
==Powers and abilities==
As the Avatar, Korra possessed the unique ability to bend all four elements, along with the potential to become the most powerful bender in the world. Ever since she was a child Korra showcased a remarkable affinity to the physical side of bending, while the opposite held true for the spiritual side of bending. As such, she was easily able to master earthbending, firebending, and her native element of waterbending, whereas she was entirely incapable of airbending. Nevertheless, through her training under the White Lotus and Katara — a waterbending master and wife of the previous Avatar — Korra grew to be an extremely skilled and powerful bender by the age of seventeen.
In addition to her bending abilities, Korra also possessed considerable physical prowess. Due to her affinity for the physical aspect of bending, Korra gained an impressive level of strength great enough to lift a fully grown human male without any noticeable effort. Likewise, she could easily leap across long distances and over high obstacles from a stationary position, as well as effectively traverse various terrains and vertical surfaces with great speed to hoist herself up and across rooftops. Like most earthbenders, Korra's physical prowess gave her more stamina and also made her more durable than the average human, enabling her to take extensive punishment and still continue fighting. She was also extremely proficient in unarmed hand-to-hand combat, being able to defeat multiple opponents without her bending abilities and, combined with her sharp reflexes and flexibility, was capable of countering and parrying close-ranged attacks.
While lacking in her spiritual side, Korra nevertheless carried an innate sense as the Avatar for things that most others could not pick up on, though not to the same extent as adopted brother, Caran. Similarly to a Force-sensitive individual, Korra was capable of sensing the mystical energies of the Force, mainly whenever in the presence of something or someone strong in either the light side or dark side of the Force.
