History Characters / TheSagaOfAvatarKorra

* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:All of Team Avatar, including Naga, have more or less caused the Red Lotus' plans to be derailed.]]

-->'''Asami:'''"I never wanted to be right. If I was right, then I never told anyone, and then... all this would be my fault. So, I guess it really is my fault in the end. I could have stopped it years ago."
-->'''Chapter Seventeen Narration''': "It was hard to shake the feeling of responsibility for so much of the trouble. She could have tried to tell someone back then. Not just let the adults dismiss her mystery girl as unimportant, but insist on what she had seen."

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: An understandable example since she was only a young child when she met Korra and did not clearly remember all the details of their meeting. However, she did believe she saw Korra control two elements and did not mention it to anyone which resulted in the White Lotus not having any possible leads on Korra's location for about fourteen years.

* SpannerInTheWorks: It was due to her meeting Korra as a little girl that caused Korra to always have doubts about what the Red Lotus have told her.
-->'''Korra''': "All these years... I kept thinking about looking for you. I couldn't ever forget one little thing you told me back then. You... you made me not afraid of the world. They made it sound so horrible. I always liked yours better; and you were right..."

-->'''Korra''': (while crying and hugging Asami) "I always worried about you waiting in the snow for me and me never arriving and I wanted to say sorry for that. Again. And... and... Now you know who I really am. I... I don't want to think what I would be like if I hadn't met you."
-->'''Asami''': (while embracing Korra) "You would always be the person you really are. And even if it was different, you would still be the same wonderful, caring, beautiful woman you are now. They could never change that about you. And no matter what I would still meet you. Somehow."

* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:After Asami realizes Korra's the Avatar and believing a lot of the horrible things that have happened to her were due to her not telling anyone about apparently witnessing someone around her age controlling two elements, she wishes to do everything she can to make sure Korra is safe.]]

--> ''Asami'': "And don't worry. They won't take you ever again. I will not let them, I promise."
* EveryoneHasStandards: [[spoiler:She is absolutely disgusted by the fact the Red Lotus kidnapped Korra when she was three and separated her from her parents.]]

-->'''Asami:'''"I want to make more friends - friends I make all on my own. Like Korra; and Bolin and Mako."

* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:Nearly gets killed by Zaheer. She only survives due to Korra's ability to heal her.]]

* TheBigGuy: Despite being the youngest in the group both physically and mentally, he seems to fulfill this trope.

* GenreSavvy: Subverted since Bolin's fantasies tend to be improbable and he whatever secret he guessed correctly was out of sheer luck. He loves listening to radio dramas and he imagines his adventures as being in one.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He cares deeply for his friends, but he makes a number of less than ideal choices.

* TheWorfEffect: He loses a fight to Kuvira quite easily.

* AscendedFanboy: Bolin is a fan of Aang's Team Avatar. He told Korra stories about them causing her to doubt what the Red Lotus had told her. [[spoiler:When Korra was taken by the Red Lotus, Bolin dubs Korra, Asami, Mako, and himself as the new Team Avatar.

Mako's younger Earthbender brother.

* AdaptationalVillainy: While she has not been seen onscreen, her actions have apparently worse than they were in canon based on how many civilians have sought shelter in Republic City and the Water Tribes.

Zuko's younger sister

* [[BadassGrandpa Badass Grandma]]: Age has not made her any less dangerous.

* CurbStompBattle: Even before the rest of the royal family arrived, Azula was single-handedly delivering this to the Red Lotus.

* PetTheDog: When Korra is being restrained, she notices Korra's breaking down into tears and feels sorry for her. Later tell Mako that she agrees with him that the ColdBloodedTorture of Manu was necessary.

* BloodKnight: She enjoys to fight.

* PetTheDog: When Korra is being restrained, she notices Korra's breaking down into tears and feels sorry for her.

Asami Sato's father and CEO of Future Industries.

[[folder:Other Republic City Residents]]

!!Tarrlok

The head of the Republic City Council

* AdaptationalVillainy: While he was certainly not a nice guy in canon, Tarrlok here is an insensitive {{Jerkass}} to Tonraq about his missing daughter. Also unlike his canon counterpart who used bloodbending as a last resort and took no visual pleasure in doing so, here he starts off with it and clearly enjoys it.
* {{Badass}}: [[spoiler:He is able to hold his own against the Red Lotus.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: His dialogue with Tonraq during Chapter Three would be more than enough to categorize him as this.
* JerkassHasAPoint: While he could have been less abrasive about it, the other world leaders such as Suyin and Izumi agree that the search for the Avatar must take a backseat to other world affairs.
