[[caption-width-right:350:"Well, suppose I were to take the fleet South on some ''routine'' training maneuvers. And let's say we were to ''accidentally'' run into a hostile Northern blockade. We'd have no choice but to defend ourselves, wouldn't we? "]]

* UpperClassTwit: A pampered member of Earth Kingdom aristocracy, and doesn't appear to be very bright. He gets out of it as the season progresses.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: While Prince Wu is a rather sweet person and genuinely friendly, his bratty, ditsy, and overtly flirtatious attitude makes it hard for others to do more than tolerate him.

And by the end of the season Mako and Korra has warm up to him and are proud of his decision to dissolves the monarchy.

* ABoyAndHisX: A Boy and His Ostrich Horse. Growing up on a farm, he once had a pet ostrich horse named Mrs. Beaks, whom he had loved but taken for granted.

* OlderThanHeLooks: His official age is 36 (37 by Book 2, 40 by Book 4) and yet he can pass for somewhere in his early twenties.

* OverprotectiveDad: {{Subverted|Trope}}. When Tonraq is introduced to Mako as Korra's boyfriend, he sternly tells the young man that he hopes Mako isn't getting Korra into any trouble. Once Korra tells him to cut the joke, Tonraq does so and immediately welcomes Mako.

* LesserOfTwoEvils: In comparison to Vaatu, he's just a greedy, yet diabolical human, not some world ending disaster.

** By sending his men to attack Unalaq, Varrick helped Unalaq find an excuse to screw over Tonraq, which almost got Tonraq killed, causing a chain of events that led to a civil war. In hindsight, though, he had Unalaq accurately pegged from the start. If anything, he merely sped up a confrontation that would have happened anyway, and in doing so kept Unalaq from consolidating his plans first. The worst part, though, is that Tonraq would've ended up in prison at the North Pole had it not been for Korra's intervention, and Unalaq's plans to unleashing apocalypse have been accelerated. It turns out that failing works out for him, anyway, as Varrick still got his war, and his escape allows him to profit off it. On the other hand, if he ''had'' successfully captured or killed Unalaq, it would have diffused the plan to release Vaatu at a very early stage in the plot, but it would still provoke a war he can profit from.

* ThePerformerKing: He really loves demonstrating the dances and pomp he's planning for his coronation ceremony. Although he comes across as TheLoad at first, his skills as a performer come in handy when he gives a suitably compelling address by radio to help evacuate a city. [[spoiler:And even moreso when his singing helps command badgermoles to dig escape tunnels]].

* BadassBookworm: Varrick is well-disciplined and knowledgeable in various fields of science, having spearheaded several technological advancements. His breakthroughs include applications of magnetism, such as a high-speed maglev train, and the stabilization of spirit energy, though he later discovered that it was too dangerous for anyone to handle. He is also good at thinking on his feet, being able to create a makeshift electromagnetic pulse device with the aid of a metal table leg and an electric generator.

* AscendedExtra: Started off as a SatelliteCharacter, but got more importance, screentime and characterization in Book 4. Continued on in ''Turf Wars'' where she's not only organizing the refugees more (read: at all) than [[ItsAllAboutMe President Raiko,]] but she's offering Varrick Global Industries' resources to fix the housing problem ''without'' Varrick in sight and if that's not enough, Part 2 reveals [[spoiler: she plans to run ''against'' Raiko in the election!]]

* CaptainObvious: He even channels another [[StarWars famous officer]] in charge of large fleet.

* CantTakeCriticism: [[InvertedTrope Inverted]]. Not only does Wu can take and accept criticism. He make it a point to take the criticism to heart and learn from it.
