History Characters / TheLegendOfKorraTenzinAndFamily

* ElementalEyeColors: Tenzin and Meelo have GreyEyes as airbenders tend to have. Averted with Ikki and Jinora who inherited their mother's brown eyes.

* BobHaircut: [[CultureChopSuey Combined]] with an {{Odango| Hair}}.

* OdangoHair: A one-sided version.

* ActionGirl
** NeverMessWithGranny
* CoolBigSis

* MeaningfulName: [[http://bill-rinaldi.tumblr.com/post/25240007893/is-rohan-a-reference-to-indian-culture-lord-of-the Apparently his name is meaningful]]...the creators are just mum on what it is. Rohan is derived from "ascending" in Sanskrit and "spirit" in Arabic. Both quite apropos, considering his family.
** [[WordOfGod Bryan]] actually revealed that Rohan was named after his nephew.

Meelo is Tenzin and Pema's older son and third child. At five, he's hyperactive and more than a bit silly. He shows great skill at airbending despite his youth.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:Uses {{Fartillery}} to help save Lin from the Equalists with his siblings.]]
* BigOlEyebrows
* 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.
* {{Gasshole}}: Gets a "fartbending" scene in episode 8.
** {{Fartillery}}: Weaponizes it in episode 10.
* 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]]
* {{Kidanova}}: He tries to charm Asami the moment she arrives on Air Temple Island.
* {{Keet}}: He is first seen ''chewing on his father's head.''
* [[spoiler: LetsGetDangerous: In episode 10 along with his sisters, when they saved Lin Beifong from Amon's chi blockers and Lieutenant.]]
* PrecociousCrush: On Asami.
* ShooOutTheClowns: Along with the rest of Tenzin's family, [[spoiler:evacuates by sky bison when the Equalists attack Air Temple Island]].
* SophisticatedAsHell: When he and Ikki are playing on Korra's roadster. Ikki makes loud car noises and pretends she's in a high-speed chase, while Meelo appears to be imitating a valet.
* SpockSpeak: Often uses exceedingly formal language.
%% Ugly Cute is YMMV, and is already on that page.

[[folder:Jinora]]
!Jinora

[[caption-width-right:350:"I will make no such promises."]]
-> Voiced by Kiernan Shipka

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.

* BadassAdorable: [[spoiler:She sent the Lieutenant flying with a flick of her staff.]]
** BadassBookworm
* 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.
* [[spoiler: LetsGetDangerous: In episode 10 along with Ikki and Meelo, when they saved Lin Be Fong from Aman's chi blockers and the Lieutenant.]]
* LittleMissBadass: With Ikki in [[spoiler: Episode 10. Extra mention for giving a PreAssKickingOneLiner too]].
* 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.
* PreAssKickingOneLiner:
--> "Stay away from my dad's ex-girlfriend!"
* ShipperOnDeck: Like her sister, Mako and Korra.
* SiblingYinYang: With Ikki.
* SpinOffspring: Aang and Katara's granddaughter.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Look closely. She's basically Aang with hair.
* ThinksLikeARomanceNovel: Though the romance in question seems to be more along the lines of ''Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms''.

* NotSoStoic: Comes frequently at his expense, often subtle, but sometimes dramatic. It's become a RunningGag.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: Responsible Sibling while Bumi and Kya were the Foolish Siblings. This seems to have continued into adulthood. Justified with Tenzin being the responsible one given he is tasked with restoring airbending culture.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: He and Kya were the Foolish Siblings to Tenzin's Responsible Sibling. Bumi seems to have continued this into adulthood. Tenzin is also less than thrilled to have to put up with his brother once he arrives.

* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She and Bumi were the Foolish Siblings to Tenzin's Responsible Sibling.

* [[{{Muggles}} Muggle]]: Nonbender.

* SpinOffspring: Aang and Katara's grandson.

** [[WordOfGod Bryan]] actually revealed that Rohan was named after his nephew

* SimpleStaff: Tenzin and his three older children all have a glider-staff.

* ElementalEyeColors: Tenzin, Ikki and Meelo have GreyEyes as airbenders tend to have.

* ThreeMonthOldNewborn: The baby's eyes are open, he has full head of hair instead of fuzz ([[RealityIsUnrealistic which happens on rare occasions]]) and he's already cooing.
** Human babies are born with open eyes

* BaldOfAwesome

* ElementalPowers: As noted above-
*** BlowYouAway: Tenzin and his children
*** MakingASplash: Kya

** In terms of Tenzin and his family specifically; save for his wife Pema, amd newborn son Rohan (who's bending ability has yet to surface), they are the direct inheritors of Aang's native element.

*** KillItWithWater: Kya

** He has quickly become a fan favorite, much like [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Princess Luna ]]

These are tropes which apply generally to Tenzin's family, the last airbenders.

* BadassFamily: ''The'' direct inheritors of the previous Avatar's native element no less.
** However, Tenzin's sister Kya inherited Katara's waterbending and Bumi has no bending, but is a [[BadassNormal Commander in the Republic Military]].
* BlowYouAway: Everyone except Pema and Rohan (for now, at least). Bumi, Tenzin's brother, is also a non-bender.

** He has quickly become a fan favorite, much like [[Princess Luna MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic]]

* BadassFamily: ''The'' direct inheritors of the previous Avatar's native element no less.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: 5 seconds of screen time, little to no dialogue, everyone loves him nevertheless.
