Tenzin is an Airbending half-Air Nomad/half-Water Tribesman, and Aang and Katara's youngest son. He is a councilman representing the Air Nomads for the United Republic; following the events of AvatarTheLastAirbender (now a misnomer) said culture now consists of him and his family, and the Air Acolytes, a group of non-airbenders who have chosen to dedicate themselves to the continuation of Air Nomad traditions. Seeing as he is the only living master Airbender in the world following Aang's passing, he becomes Korra's airbending teacher.

Tenzin is an Airbending half-Air Nomad/half-Water Tribesman and Aang and Katara's son. He teaches Korra Airbending.
----
* {{Ambadassador}}: Tenzin works as a member of the United Republic Council, representing the Air Nomads. He is also an Airbending master.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The world's only master Airbender is not just a mere title. [[spoiler:He lasts the longest against Sato's MiniMecha, and for a while was the only one standing.]]
* BadassBeard
* BadassCape: Badass Half-Cape, to be precise.
** CapeSwish: With DramaticWind for that extra oomph.
* BadassLongRobe
* BaldOfAwesome
* BerserkButton:
** Do ''not'' invoke his parents in an argument.
** In a more serious manner, harming the people he loves (such as Lin and Korra).
* BigOlEyebrows
* BlowYouAway: He's supposed to teach Korra airbending, since he's the only living airbending master left.
* BurningWithAnger: ''Mild Bell Pepper''. Tenzin's head will redden heavily when sufficiently angered, usually prompted by [[BrattyTeenageDaughter something Korra has said]]. He also turns [[BlueWithShock purple when mortified]].
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A failed one with Lin Beifong.
* TheComicallySerious: Frequently has these moments, particularly in his interactions with Korra and his children.
* ContinuityNod: Tenzin's Sky Bison's name is "Oogi", which is the term of disgust Sokka used whenever he saw Aang and Katara being [[SickeninglySweethearts affectionate]] in ''Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise''.
* DramaticWind: He's often accompanied by gusts of wind that make his cloak wave dramatically. Unsurprising, considering the element he controls.
* ElementalEyeColors: An airbender with GreyEyes.
* HappilyMarried: To Pema.
* InkSuitActor: He bears more than a slight resemblance to his voice actor, J.K. Simmons.
* LastOfHisKind: Was this in the time between his father's death and Jinora's birth. Thankfully averted now.
* MayDecemberRomance: He is 16 years senior to his wife Pema.
* TheMentor: To Korra, to his children, and to the Air Acolytes.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He's named after the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
** OddNameOut: His siblings are named after Katara's mother and Aang's old friend. His name only fits with Aang's teacher, Gyatso, at a meta level.
* NoRespectGuy: A mild version. He's quite wise, but neither the Council, Korra, or Lin tend to listen to him very often.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He gets this in spades.
** Denounces pro-bending as "a mockery of the noble tradition of bending", but later on ends up cheering for Korra in an uncharacteristically enthusiastic manner during one of her matches, not unlike how his father would. Played with, though, in that he may have been cheering her successful DieOrFly moment. By episode 6 he's yelling at the referee for ignoring the Wolfbat's blatant fouls. When Lin comments on this, surprised that he even knows what constitutes a foul, he says he's been reading up on the rules since Korra joined the Fire Ferrets, apparently taking a greater interest in the sport than he'd like to admit.
** Also spends the first half of "A Leaf in the Wind" stressing to Korra that she needs to be patient, and then loses his own patience with her a short time later.
** Then, there was his failed relationship with Lin.
** And we get this gem when Korra and Tenzin confront [[spoiler: her replacement, Saikhan]]:
--->'''Korra:''' ''[grips his chin, moving his head up and down]'' You're officially the worst [[spoiler: Chief of Police]], ever!\\
'''Tenzin:''' Calm down Korra, I'll get this sorted out. We just need to be patient. ''[Both turn away before Tenzin quickly turns back.]'' But you really are the worst. ''[points]'' Ever!
* NotSoStoic: Comes frequently at his expense, often subtle, but sometimes dramatic. It's become a RunningGag.
* OnlySaneMan: Among the Council, he's the only one who realizes that that Tarrlok is untrustworthy and that his actions are causing far more harm then good. Unfortunately, his attempts to stop him are consistently outvoted.
* OpeningNarration: Like his mother did in the original series, he provides ''The Legend of Korra'''s opening narration.
* ParentalSubstitute: While Korra's parents are still alive, they're still in the South Pole. Tenzin seems to be like an HonoraryUncle, and treats Korra much more warmly than all of the other authority figures (who either think she's a nuisance, or manipulate her).
* PowerTattoo
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Also the most socially ''responsible'' authority figure on the Council; despite representing at most a few dozen people, out of any of the Council members he's the one with most respect for the unrepresented non-benders and their rights. Indeed, he's the only one to speak up in favor or defense of them.
* SpinOffspring: The first official interracial child shown in the Avatar franchise. (Though certainly not the last.)
* TheStoic: Tries his best to be, but Korra and the plot often have [[NotSoStoic other plans]].
* StrokeTheBeard: Uncle Sokka would approve.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: In a half-lucid moment, Korra mistakes him for Aang (having just experienced a vision of Aang and his friends while unconscious).
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He tries to act like an enlightened and serious Zen master, but the universe simply won't allow him to stay that way for long.
* TeamDad
** PapaWolf
* TwitchyEye: Tenzin gets one of these when particularly upset, such as when he finds out that Korra has snuck out to fight in a pro-bending match.
* YoungestChildWins: His older siblings Kya and Bumi did not inherit Aang's Airbending like he did, though Kya is a waterbender like Katara.

* BlowYouAway
* CloudCuckoolander: Meelo is... ''special.''
* {{Gonk}}: Those eyes, those teeth, good God! [[UglyCute And yet he is still adorable.]]
%% Grey eyes is not just "character with grey eyes". It requires symbolism about a character trait, and that doesn't seem to be happening here.

* SpinOffspring: Aang and Katara's grandson.

Jinora is Tenzin and Pema's older daughter. More reserved than her siblings, shown to be a polite little bookworm. However, under her sweet exterior she is still playful and hides a witty tongue.
----
* BlowYouAway
* BobHaircut: [[CultureChopSuey Combined]] with an {{Odango| Hair}}.
* BrownEyes: She's by far the most down-to-earth of Tenzin's children.
* CreepyChild: Every now and then. Her idea of romance is particularly off-the-wall (it involves mass murder, followed by suicide).
* CuteBookworm: She has read about her Gran-Gran's [[AvatarTheLastAirbender adventures]], mentions reading a historical saga, and is shown reading at the dinner table.
* FreudianTrio: Superego.
* GenreSavvy: She knows she's going to become a [[BrattyTeenageDaughter difficult teen]] and has gracefully accepted it.
* LittleMissSnarker: She's usually polite, but when she snarks, she snarks ''good.''
-->'''Tenzin:''' You ''must'' promise me your teenage years won't be like this!
--> ({{Beat}})
-->'''Jinora:''' (peering over her book) I will make no such promises.
* NightmareFetishist: She ''swoons'' at the thought of one of her story heroines commiting ''genocide and suicide'' over being rejected by her LoveInterest.
* OdangoHair: A one-sided version.
* ShipperOnDeck: Like her sister, Mako and Korra.
* SiblingYinYang: With Ikki.
* SpinOffspring: Aang and Katara's granddaughter.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Though the romance in question seems to be more along the lines of ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.

Tenzin is an Airbending half-Air Nomad/half-Water Tribesman and Aang and Katara's son. He teaches Korra Airbending.
----
* {{Ambadassador}}: Tenzin works as a member of the United Republic Council, representing the Air Nomads. He is also an Airbending master.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: The world's only master Airbender is not just a mere title. [[spoiler:He lasts the longest against Sato's MiniMecha, and for a while was the only one standing.]]
* BadassBeard
* BadassCape: Badass Half-Cape, to be precise.
** CapeSwish: With DramaticWind for that extra oomph.
* BadassLongRobe
* BaldOfAwesome
* BerserkButton:
** Do ''not'' invoke his parents in an argument.
** In a more serious manner, harming the people he loves (such as Lin and Korra).
* BigOlEyebrows
* BlowYouAway: He's supposed to teach Korra airbending, since he's the only living airbending master left.
* BurningWithAnger: ''Mild Bell Pepper''. Tenzin's head will redden heavily when sufficiently angered, usually prompted by [[BrattyTeenageDaughter something Korra has said]]. He also turns [[BlueWithShock purple when mortified]].
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: A failed one with Lin Beifong.
* TheComicallySerious: Frequently has these moments, particularly in his interactions with Korra and his children.
* ContinuityNod: Tenzin's Sky Bison's name is "Oogi", which is the term of disgust Sokka used whenever he saw Aang and Katara being [[SickeninglySweethearts affectionate]] in ''Comicbook/AvatarTheLastAirbenderThePromise''.
* DramaticWind: He's often accompanied by gusts of wind that make his cloak wave dramatically. Unsurprising, considering the element he controls.
* ElementalEyeColors: An airbender with GreyEyes.
* HappilyMarried: To Pema.
* InkSuitActor: He bears more than a slight resemblance to his voice actor, J.K. Simmons.
* LastOfHisKind: Was this in the time between his father's death and Jinora's birth. Thankfully averted now.
* MayDecemberRomance: He is 16 years senior to his wife Pema.
* TheMentor: To Korra, to his children, and to the Air Acolytes.
* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: He's named after the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
** OddNameOut: His siblings are named after Katara's mother and Aang's old friend. His name only fits with Aang's teacher, Gyatso, at a meta level.
* NoRespectGuy: A mild version. He's quite wise, but neither the Council, Korra, or Lin tend to listen to him very often.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He gets this in spades.
** Denounces pro-bending as "a mockery of the noble tradition of bending", but later on ends up cheering for Korra in an uncharacteristically enthusiastic manner during one of her matches, not unlike how his father would. Played with, though, in that he may have been cheering her successful DieOrFly moment. By episode 6 he's yelling at the referee for ignoring the Wolfbat's blatant fouls. When Lin comments on this, surprised that he even knows what constitutes a foul, he says he's been reading up on the rules since Korra joined the Fire Ferrets, apparently taking a greater interest in the sport than he'd like to admit.
** Also spends the first half of "A Leaf in the Wind" stressing to Korra that she needs to be patient, and then loses his own patience with her a short time later.
** Then, there was his failed relationship with Lin.
** And we get this gem when Korra and Tenzin confront [[spoiler: her replacement, Saikhan]]:
--->'''Korra:''' ''[grips his chin, moving his head up and down]'' You're officially the worst [[spoiler: Chief of Police]], ever!\\
'''Tenzin:''' Calm down Korra, I'll get this sorted out. We just need to be patient. ''[Both turn away before Tenzin quickly turns back.]'' But you really are the worst. ''[points]'' Ever!
* NotSoStoic: Comes frequently at his expense, often subtle, but sometimes dramatic. It's become a RunningGag.
* OnlySaneMan: Among the Council, he's the only one who realizes that that Tarrlok is untrustworthy and that his actions are causing far more harm then good. Unfortunately, his attempts to stop him are consistently outvoted.
* OpeningNarration: Like his mother did in the original series, he provides ''The Legend of Korra'''s opening narration.
* ParentalSubstitute: While Korra's parents are still alive, they're still in the South Pole. Tenzin seems to be like an HonoraryUncle, and treats Korra much more warmly than all of the other authority figures (who either think she's a nuisance, or manipulate her).
* PowerTattoo
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Also the most socially ''responsible'' authority figure on the Council; despite representing at most a few dozen people, out of any of the Council members he's the one with most respect for the unrepresented non-benders and their rights. Indeed, he's the only one to speak up in favor or defense of them.
* SpinOffspring: The first official interracial child shown in the Avatar franchise. (Though certainly not the last.)
* TheStoic: Tries his best to be, but Korra and the plot often have [[NotSoStoic other plans]].
* StrokeTheBeard: Uncle Sokka would approve.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: In a half-lucid moment, Korra mistakes him for Aang (having just experienced a vision of Aang and his friends while unconscious).
* SugarAndIcePersonality: He tries to act like an enlightened and serious Zen master, but the universe simply won't allow him to stay that way for long.
* TeamDad
** PapaWolf
* TwitchyEye: Tenzin gets one of these when particularly upset, such as when he finds out that Korra has snuck out to fight in a pro-bending match.
* YoungestChildWins: His older siblings Kya and Bumi did not inherit Aang's Airbending like he did, though Kya is a waterbender like Katara.

Tenzin's wife, currently pregnant with their fourth child. She shows a forceful and somewhat wry personality, and although not a bender, she is an air acolyte and dedicated to following the Air Nomad way of life.
----
* AdviceBackfire: She should really be bit more careful when giving advice to Korra.
* DeathGlare: So far, Tenzin was the only recipient.
%% Green Eyes requires the eyes to symbolize a character trait. Pema does not appear to have any of the traits associated with green.
* HappilyMarried: To Tenzin.
%% Hot Mom is for mothers who are considered hot in-universe, not for mothers you find hot.
* LoveTriangle: She was in one with Tenzin and Lin pre-series. In the story proper she gives Korra advice on how to deal with her own.
* MayDecemberRomance: She is 16 years her husband's junior.
* [[{{Muggles}} Muggle]]: Unlike her husband or their children, she's a non-bender.

* BlowYouAway
* CloudCuckoolander: Meelo is... ''special.''
* {{Gonk}}: Those eyes, those teeth, good God! [[UglyCute And yet he is still adorable.]]

* FreudianTrio: Id.
* IceCreamKoan: He tells Korra to "Be the leaf!"
* InkSuitActor: Was inspired by Avatar consultant Christopher Moss' son. The co-creators conducted a whole meeting with Moss at his home with his son climbing on him. [[http://bryankonietzko.tumblr.com/post/22196960275/this-is-one-of-my-favorite-meelo-expressions]]
