Korra Application.

Basic Information
Name: Kora
--Nickname: NA
---Special Title: Avatar
Gender: Female
Visual Age: 17
Actual Age: 17
Personality:
Korra is fiery, hot-headed, tomboyish, and pugnacious. Her
personality is in many ways the opposite of the previous Avatar. Aang
was a peaceful, diffident, nomadic airbender, whereas Korra is tough,
impatient, headstrong, sarcastic, and assertive. She has a poor grasp of
the damage her powerful bending can cause and her immaturity and lack
of forethought often lead her to disrespect those around her. However,
like Aang, she also has a good sense of humor and enthusiasm, and a
vulnerable teenage charm.

Korra's lack of spiritual grasp has proven to be a stumbling
block in her training; she admitted that her personality is the opposite
of the typical airbender's, and as Tenzin noted, Avatars tend to
struggle with the bending art most opposite to their personality.
Because of this lack of a spiritual center in her life, Korra is
impulsive and therefore has a hard time hiding her true feelings; this
can be seen when in her reaction to learning that Asami Sato
was Mako's date during the gala Tarrlok threw in her honor, where she
immediately expressed her jealousy by being rather hostile toward Asami
and short with Mako.

Due to her concentration on the physical side of bending, Korra
was initially quite worried when she saw "the revelation" of Amon's true
abilities during his demonstration,a fear which expressed itself in Amon's words in the nightmare she had
soon afterwards, "Once I take your bending away, you will be nothing." This and her later encounter with Amon revealed this fear.
She tried repressing these fears for the good of Republic City when she
joined Tarrlok's task force, but had trouble staying her usual upbeat
self and became rather reclusive,and eventually made the rash decision to call Amon out on a one-on-one
duel. This indicates that she is ruled by her emotions even when she
tried to pretend they did not exist, leaving her vulnerable to Amon as
shown by the results of that "duel".

Like her immediate predecessor Aang, Korra places a high priority
on her position as the Avatar. Yet Korra is unlike Avatar Aang in their
approach to being the Avatar. Aang showed an unrelenting determination
to follow his own path as the Avatar, despite what others dictated he
should do (contrary to his usual laid-back personality), Korra, on the
other hand, seems genuinely concerned with what others think her path
should be as the Avatar, showing one aspect of her character which is
not entirely confident.

Character Background
History:
Korra was born to Tonraq and Senna
in the Southern Water Tribe after the death of Avatar Aang. At the age
of four, she discovered that she was the Avatar, a fact she proudly
announced to the Order of the White Lotus
when they came on her family's request. After performing waterbending,
earthbending, and firebending before them, her identity as the Avatar
was established, and her training to become a fully realized Avatar
began in earnest under the Order's watchful eye. Over the next thirteen
years, Korra mastered waterbending and earthbending, and by 17, her firebending training was complete.




By the age of seventeen, Korra demonstrated her firebending prowess to the Order of the White Lotus and Katara, her waterbending teacher. Although expressing concern over her lack of restraint and ignorance of spiritual matters, the leader of the White Lotus decided that she had successfully mastered fire, her third element, and was ready to commence her airbending training under Tenzin's tutelage. However, Korra's airbending training was put on hold when Tenzin announced that the imbalance in Republic City
was preventing him from leaving the city to relocate to the Southern
Water Tribe as planned. Unhappy, she decided that if Tenzin could not
come to her, she would go to him. With Katara's blessing, she stowed
away on a cargo ship heading for the city with Naga, her polar bear dog and animal guide.



Upon their arrival in Republic City, Korra and Naga roamed the city,
discovering for themselves just how out of balance it really was with
its unequal division of wealth and rampant street crime. In the park,
Korra comes across an Equalist protester trying to bring together non-benders to join Amon
and the Equalists. After she calls bending "the coolest thing in the
world" and openly considering to waterbend the protester off of his
platform, the non-benders get riled up against her. After successfully
thwarting members of the Triple Threat Triad, Korra found herself apprehended by the Metalbending Police Force on charges of destruction of private and city property. After an unsuccessful runaway attempt, she was brought to the police headquarters, where she was interrogated by a displeased Chief Lin Beifong.
Although Tenzin managed to persuade her to drop all the charges against
Korra, Lin made it very clear that she would keep an eye on the young
Avatar.

Even though Tenzin had promised to send Korra back home again,
she managed to persuade him to let her stay, as he now realized that
Republic City needed its Avatar. She was allowed to stay and commence
her airbending training on Air Temple Island
under Tenzin's tutelage. Her decision to take residence at Air Temple
Island was publicly announced during a press conference in front of City Hall
in Republic City, during which she stated that "Avatar Aang meant for
this city to be the center of peace and balance in the world," and that
she would strive to obtain that goal.




Korra found herself struggling with mastering the "element of freedom", eventually destroying a priceless Air Nomad
training tool with firebending in a fit of rage, turning her anger on
Tenzin. She continually found herself frustrated at her inability to
airbend, and by the fact that Tenzin would not allow her to attend a pro-bending
match, something she wanted to watch since childhood. Unwilling to sit
idle on the island, she snuck off at night so she could finally attend a
match at the arena. Upon arriving, she was caught exploring the arena's
gym by Toza, but was bailed out by Bolin,
who stated she was "with him". Following her rescuer, she was guided to
the playing area where she was introduced to Bolin's brother, Mako. She hung around for the match and became enthralled with the sport and the Fire Ferret team. After the match, Bolin taught her some basics, and Korra proved herself to be a natural.

When the Fire Ferrets' waterbender, Hasook,
appeared to be a "no-show" for the final match, Korra jumped at the
chance to take his spot and compete. Early on, her inexperience showed
when she committed two quick fouls, prior to revealing herself as the
Avatar by earthbending. The official
ruled she could continue to compete but had to stick with waterbending.
When Tenzin ordered her to return to the island immediately, she
justified her stay by stating that it was important for her as the
Avatar to learn modern-style bending, something pro-bending could help
her with. Struggling with the rules and the pace of the game, Korra
slowly got the feel of it. Korra started applying some of her airbending
lessons by moving around in her zone like "a leaf in the wind", proving
to Tenzin who was still watching that his teachings were not all lost
to her. This sudden change of tactics from Korra won the match for the
Fire Ferrets. This victory gained the team access to the official
pro-bending championship tournament, and Korra was accepted to
permanently replace Hasook as the waterbender on the team.

When Korra was practicing airbending at Air Temple Island with Jinora
and Ikki, Mako arrived to ask her about Bolin's location. After her
insistence to help find Bolin, she and Mako decided to go looking for
him through the city. In Central City Station, they met Skoochy,
who told them he had been recruited to the Triple Threat Triad. When
Mako and Korra made it to the gang's headquarters, they learned that
Bolin had been captured by the Equalists in a raid and immediately set
out to rescue him. They traveled to Republic City Park
to find the protestor, who told them that Bolin was likely taken to the
Equalist rally called "The Revelation". At the rally, they discovered
that Amon possessed the power to permanently remove one's bending
powers, a skill thus far believed only to be obtainable by Avatars.
During Amon's demonstration on the captured benders, among whom Bolin,
Korra released a large sheet of steam from containers hanging from the
sides of warehouse, which created panic and distracted the Equalists
long enough to allow Mako to rescue Bolin. When the brothers were
overpowered by the Lieutenant,
Korra arrived just in time to save them with her earthbending, and they
made their escape on Naga. As soon as Korra got back to Air Temple
Island, she informed Tenzin and consequently the United Republic Council of Amon's power.

The encounter with the Equalists and their leader left a profound
impression on Korra, as she had nightmares about being immobilized by
their chi blocking
and subsequently being stripped of her bending by Amon. For the first
time in her life, Korra found herself afraid of something, although she
refused to admit it. This fear held her back in her daily life, and when
Councilman Tarrlok approached her with the offer to lead a special task force
with him to take down Amon, she politely refused with the excuse that
she needed to focus on her airbending training. However, Tarrlok did not
give up and he threw a gala in her honor. He tricked her into a press
conference, during which Korra buckled under the accusing questions of
the journalists and shouted that she would join Tarrlok's task force to help fight Amon, if that was what the city needed.
Eager to prove to everyone, including herself, that she was not
afraid of anyone, Korra successfully apprehended several Equalists, with
the help of Tarrlok's special task force, and publicly challenged Amon
to a midnight duel at Aang Memorial Island,
without any back-up of the task force or chi blockers. However, Amon
did not show up alone, and his henchmen quickly overpowered her. When
Amon emerged from the shadows, Korra was terrified that he was going to
take her bending away. However, he did not, and instead revealed that he
had a plan to rid the world of benders and that he was saving her for
last in order to prevent her from becoming a martyr. Following Amon's
monologue, he knocked her unconscious where she experienced several
flashbacks surrounding Avatar Aang, Sokka, Toph,
and a mysterious man in what appeared to be a congress room or council
meeting. When she regained consciousness, Tenzin was running toward her.
After telling him what happened, Korra broke down and finally admitted
that she was terrified of Amon and the Equalists and that she did not
know what to do.

After the horrifying encounter, Korra settled down, taking a break
from Tarrlok's task force to prepare for the upcoming Pro-bending
Tournament. However, her feelings for Mako continued to impact her,
showing jealousy in the presence of Asami.
She refused Bolin's advances to her, declining his requests to spend
time together, rather electing to return to Air Temple Island for
further training with Tenzin.

She later spoke with Jinora and Ikki, hoping for advice on how to
approach Mako. Pema overheard the conversation and gave Korra the
advice to just be honest with Mako.



After Korra and the Fire Ferrets earned a convincing victory in the
first round of the tournament, she followed Pema's advice and confessed
her true feelings to Mako. However, he turned her down, telling her he
was with Asami and did not see her in the same way. Seeing her downbeat,
Bolin again invited Korra for a night out, and this time, she accepted,
much to Mako's annoyance. The two enjoyed a dinner at Narook's Seaweed Noodlery, but were interrupted by Tahno,
who attempted to provoke them into a fight. Bolin urged Korra to ignore
Tahno's approach, warning her that harming him outside of the arena
would disqualify the Fire Ferrets from the tournament. Heeding the
warning, Korra called on Naga instead, who intimidated Tahno with a loud
roar. After this little interruption, the two continued their night out
together, enjoying drinks in a bar and the panoramic view of Republic
City at night from atop a tower.

When Korra returned to the Pro-bending Arena
the following night, Mako was waiting for her, inquiring what kind of
game she was playing with Bolin to get back at him. Korra immediately
saw through his attitude and called his reaction jealousy. However, when
she asked Mako to be honest and admit that he liked her, the two got
into an argument, which nearly cost them the next match against the
Boarcupines.



Korra was approached by Mako after the match, who admitted that he
had not been honest with her. He explained that he did have feelings for
her, but was confused due to his relationship with Asami. Korra
impulsively kissed Mako, and was kissed back in return. When she broke
it off, she noticed Bolin standing nearby and looked away in shame, and
was blamed by Mako for breaking Bolin's heart.

The next day, the semifinals began against the Buzzard Wasps. The
romantic struggles presented a serious problem during the match and
further divided the team. Frustrated, Korra excessively roughed up the
opposing firebender with waterbending and even assaulted an official. At
the start of round three, having lost the first two rounds
convincingly, Korra tried to motivate her dejected teammates to not give
up, albeit to no avail. Stubbornly refusing to give up herself, Korra
fought the match of her life by herself, and secured a spot in the final
by knocking all the Buzzard Wasps off the field with one powerful
attack. Afterwards, the team made amends, putting their romantic
differences aside to let friendship prevail. Korra was later
complimented by Asami for her hat trick victory, and returned this kind
gesture by sincerely thanking her and her father for their financial aid.




The day of the final match of the Championship Tournament, Korra,
along with Bolin and Mako, was training when they heard a radio
broadcast from Amon. After hearing him threaten with "severe
consequences" if the United Republic Council would not shut down the
Pro-bending Arena, the three friends rode to City Hall to convince them
not to cancel the final. Korra pointed out that they could not give in
to Amon's threats, however, to no avail as the Council had already
unanimously agreed to do so. She found an unlikely ally in Chief Lin
Beifong, and due to her interference, the Council changed their minds
and let the match be played. Korra wanted to thank Lin for her help, but
was completely ignored. When she complained to Tenzin about Lin's
hostile attitude, she came to the conclusion that Lin's issues were with
Tenzin rather than with her.

In the match for the championship, the Fire Ferrets faced off against the White Falls Wolfbats.
With cheating and some help of the bribed referees, the Wolfbats almost
won the match in the first round with a knockout, but Korra managed to
keep her team in play by holding onto the edge of the field. However,
she fell in the water when she threw Mako back in play. The second round
was to be decided with a tiebreaker,
and Korra immediately took the chance to face off with Tahno, which
resulted in an easy victory for the Avatar. However, despite this
success, the Wolfbats defeated the Fire Ferrets in the third round with
an illegal knockout.
When the match ended, Amon and the Equalists ambushed the Pro-bending
Arena, and Korra, who was still in the pool under the ring, was quickly
immobilized by the Lieutenant when he touched the water with his electrified kali sticks.
Falling unconscious, Korra had another vision of Aang fighting someone
in the Avatar State with Toph also alongside him. When she came to, she
and her teammates were tied to one of the support beams of the arena,
but they were soon freed by Pabu who saved them by bitting the ropes.
Korra immediately created a waterspout to give chase to Amon and the
Equalists who were escaping through the roof. With the help of Lin
Beifong, she managed to reach the Equalist airship
and knocked off the Lieutenant and an Equalist before being knocked off
herself. A battle between the four Equalists and Korra, assisted by
Lin, soon ensued in which Korra mainly focused on the Lieutenant, whom
she managed to overpower and knock off the roof. However, the strain of
the fight was too much for the arena's glass dome and Korra fell
through, but was saved by Lin. After she thanked the police chief for
the rescue, Mako, Bolin, and Tenzin joined them and together they
watched the Equalists get away, realizing that they were now officially
at war with them.



During the shutdown of the Pro-bending Arena, Korra visited Mako and
Bolin in the attic of the building. She told the brothers that they did
not have to worry about living on the streets again, as Tenzin had
agreed to letting them live on Air Temple Island. They were humbled by
the offer, but they told her that Asami had already offered them a place
to stay at the Sato estate.
Korra, though uncomfortable about this, did not say anything and made
up an excuse to leave. Asami stopped her and invited the Avatar to visit
the estate the next day, to which Korra at first refused saying she had
"Avatar stuff" to do, but was then convinced by Bolin to do so.



When Korra visited the Sato estate the following day, she found Mako,
Bolin, Asami, and Pabu having fun in the pool. The hostess then took
the group to a racetrack and offered to take Korra "for a spin", to
which the Avatar agreed enthusiastically. Korra sat in the backseat of a
car with Asami at the wheel and they competed against other driver,
finally winning the race.

Back at the mansion, Korra overheard Hiroshi Sato
talking on the phone about the Cabbage Corp investigation and an
upcoming "strike". She immediately left the mansion and contacted Tenzin
and Lin Beifong, theorizing that Hiroshi could be working with the
Equalists. The three of them went back to the estate and questioned the
businessman. After getting permission from Hiroshi to search all of
Future Industries' factories, Chief Beifong had her officers search for
any evidence that could link Hiroshi to the Equalists, however, no
evidence was found. During a search in one the warehouses, Korra
received a tip by a worker asking to meet underneath Silk Road Bridge.
She immediately informed Tenzin and Lin, who accompanied her at the
bridge, where the worker informed them that Hiroshi had manufactured the
weapons the Equalists had used during the attack on the arena, and was
creating more new weapons for them in a hidden factory under his mansion.



Korra, Tenzin, Lin, and a number of police officers went back to Sato's home via airship, eventually finding a tunnel that led to the underground factory. There, the group discovered that the new weapons were large mecha tanks,
that suddenly began to move while Hiroshi's voice could be heard coming
from one of them, and Korra realized that the informant was nothing
more than a setup. Controlled by Sato and various other Equalists, the
tanks attacked the intruders, easily overpowering and knocking them
unconscious. As the Equalists were loading the captured officers into
their trucks, Mako and Bolin found their way into the factory and
started carrying Korra and her accompaniment out, but were stopped by
Hiroshi. Asami then arrived at the factory and confronted her father and
the Lieutenant, allowing the group to escape safely.

While heading back toward Republic City, Korra told Mako that he,
Bolin, and Asami were all welcome to live on Air Temple Island with her
and Tenzin's family.



After her friends moved to Air Temple Island, Tenzin and Korra left for Saikhan's
inauguration as the new chief of police. While there, the Avatar and
the airbender confronted Tarrlok, questioning his actions, but the
Councilman requested Korra to re-join his task force, to which she
refused. Tarrlok then alluded to the Avatar's lack of progress on her
airbending, which caused her to worry about her airbending and spiritual
block. She later spoke with Tenzin about the matter, mentioning that
she was confused about the visions she had had. Tenzin advised her to
meditate on these visions, believing Aang's spirit was trying to contact
her.



When she was crying while looking out at Aang's statue, her friends
found her and cheered her up by assuring her they had her back. As the
new Team Avatar,
they decided to patrol Republic City in order to protect it from the
Equalists. After arresting several escaped Equalist prisoners, Tarrlok
confronted the team and warned them to stay out of his way. Later on, at
a supposed Equalist rally in the Dragon Flats district,
Korra and her friends spotted a significant power outage in the area,
which turned out to be caused by Tarrlok and several metalbending
officers in accordance with a new law against non-benders. The
non-benders pleaded for Korra's help, who confronted Tarrlok but without
success. She decided to intervene and free the innocent non-benders,
much to the Councilman's displeasure, who then took all of her friends
into custody. Later that night, Korra and Tenzin spoke with Saikhan at
the police headquarters, requesting that he release her friends and the
non-benders, but the chief refused.



Later that evening, Korra left the island on Naga and went to City
Hall, where she confronted Tarrlok regarding his radical actions. He
proposed that if she agreed to work for him, her friends would be
released, but the Avatar refused and compared him to Amon, which
infuriated the Councilman and caused him to attack her, ensuing a duel
between the two. Korra appeared to have won the duel when she knocked
the Councilman out of his office and down to the Council's meeting room
with a large earthbending attack, leaving Tarrlok without a source of
water. However, just as she prepared two fire blasts to end it, Tarrlok
used bloodbending to control Korra's body and throw her across the room,
knocking her unconscious as she had another vision of Aang, Sokka,
Toph, and the same unknown man, who bloodbent the entire room while Aang
tried to reach out at him. As Korra awoke, she found herself tied up in
the back of a police car while Tarrlok told her she would never see
Republic City again, as he was going to take her where no one could ever
find her.




Tarrlok took Korra to the mountains, a place of seclusion, and locked
her in a metal container. In the containment, Korra decided to meditate
on her previous visions and finally connected with Aang's spirit, as
she had additional visions of Aang dealing with a powerful, criminal
bloodbender named Yakone. During a trial where he was found guilty, he
bloodbent the entire court into submission, knocking Aang unconscious
and forcing Toph to release him from his restraints. Yakone escaped, but
Aang entered the Avatar State and chased down Yakone, where he fought,
cornered, and stripped the bloodbender of his bending abilities. Korra
then realized Tarrlok is related to Yakone and that Aang was trying to
warn her about this. The Councilman then returned to the "prison", where
Korra told him about her visions, pressing him to tell her the truth
and admit his wrongdoing; he finally admitted that Yakone was his
father.

Before anything else could happen, the prison was raided by the
Equalists, led by Amon. Korra overheard Tarrlok being stripped of his
bending, and Amon ordering his chi blockers to subdue Korra by
electrocuting the box. Korra ingeniously took her arm bands and held
onto them at the top of the box, wrapping each one around the metal
bars, where she received a very mild electric shock and remained
conscious. She escaped the box, injuring a few other men, following Amon
and eluding the other Equalists. She slid down a snowy hill and tripped
over a branch, hurtling towards a tree. The blow knocked her
unconscious, but Naga who tracked her from Republic City, discovered her
and carried her home.
They wandered through the forest until they reached Republic City,
where Naga roamed the streets. Team Avatar – along with Lin and Tenzin –
eventually found her, having heard Naga's howls. Mako, visibly worried
about Korra beforehand, told everyone to, "give her some space" and
picked her up off Naga, cradling Korra in his arms. Mako, after
retrieving Korra from Naga's back, laid her down on Oogi, brushing hair
from her face assuring her, "It's okay, you're safe now." She smiled in
return, happy to be near him again. Team Avatar, Lin, and Tenzin then
flew her home on Oogi, relieved that the Avatar is safe and sound.



After being found unharmed, Korra was taken back to Air Temple Island along with the new Team Avatar,
Lin, and Tenzin. As Korra attempts to recover from the ordeal, Mako
remains at her bed side and even held Korra's hand, while Asami watched
secretly at the door. Soon after, Team Avatar, Lin, and Tenzin enjoy a
meal with Pema and the Airbender kids. After eating for a bit, Korra
admitted that Pema's food was starting to "make [her] feel like
[herself] again." Tenzin then implored her to tell her harrowing tale.
Korra explained that Tarrlok was Yakone's son, surprising Lin and
Tenzin. When asked how she escaped and where Tarrlok was, Korra
responded that Amon had shown up out of nowhere, took Tarrlok's bending,
and captured him. She also told how she was almost captured as well.
Tenzin then expressed his fear of Amon becoming emboldened and that
taking out a councilman and nearly capturing the Avatar was increasingly
bold. He then told the group that he was afraid that "Amon [was]
entering his endgame."



The next day, the Equalists began their attack on Republic City,
starting with the capture of council members, with the exception of
Tenzin, who was able to fend off his attackers. Seeing the devastation
from the island, Korra and her friends traveled to the city in hopes of
aiding the battle against the Equalists. Using Asami's Satomobile, they
drove to the police headquarters where Tenzin was under attack by the
Equalists. The gang, along with Tenzin, defeated the mecha tanks,
preventing the airbending master's capture. Upon seeing Equalist airship
close in on Air Temple Island, they traveled on Oogi and arrived on the
island. Successful at repelling the attackers, Tenzin orders the
evacuation of the island knowing that more airships will arrive soon.
Tenzin tells Korra to hide and leave the city for now, promising her
that when the United Forces arrives, they will return and turn the tide
against the Equalists. Korra agrees and vacates the island on Naga with
Mako, Bolin and Asami. She then flees to Republic City, where she and
the rest of Team Avatar go to a secluded water pipeline. There, she
sadly gazes at the destroyed Air Temple until Mako tells her to get
going. He then wraps his arm around Korra as they continue to walk down
the water pipeline.

Soon after, she managed to send a wire to the United Forces, reporting that the city had fallen under the Equalists' control. A large force had been dispatched to aid the city, led by General Iroh.
Iroh told his subordinate to respond that his forces would arrive in
three days time, and that together they would take back the city.

Code of Approval: Code of approval: Night's a sexy beast! ~Caara.

RP Sample:

Korra took a released a deep breath she tossed the equalist over her shoulder. "Huh, ya like that one? There is plenty more where that came from!" She quickly pun around to parry an electric glove that was aiming at her face with a well placed earth wall. Jumping on top of the wall, she shot fire down toward the smaller eaqualist, who barely dodged the flames, only to be grabbed by Naga, and tossed into a puddle, the electricity shocking the person unconscious.

Before she could rejoice, a a black satomobile showed up, taking back their two partners that lay on the ground, "Oh no you dont!" Raged Korra, who manipulated the ground to trap them all inside a block. At this time, the metal benders arrived in one of there blimps, approaching the scene from above.

As the police force descended from the sky, they looked around and asked what happened. "No worries officers, your four pack is already packaged and ready for transport," Naga begins to growl, as the beast stares down an alley way. "You officers take care of the ones I captured, I'll get the rest!" She shouts as she hosp on Naga's back. They take down the alley, another battle soon to come.

Someone posted it on my site in the advertisement section, but never sighed up, so I do not know who gets the credit.

The statistics are not on par with the sites rules, but this is based off her canon stats found here - http://avatar.wikia.com/wiki/Korra

If this needs to be rectified than it shall be done.

approved! do you need to make a user for her? Or change the name of this one?

If you want to change the name of this one that is fine, I will recreate Terran Lockheart later lol
