[[quoteright:332:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_large_332x363_korra_8109.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:332:"I'm the Avatar, you gotta ''deal'' with it!"]]
->Voiced by Janet Varney
Korra is the present Avatar, successor to - and reincarnation of - Aang. She is a waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe with a rebellious streak. On her quest to become a fully realized Avatar and pacify the anti-benders in the United Republic, she asks Tenzin to teach her airbending.
----
* ActionGirl: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54srZLuYfb0&list=FLrXhLP7zMGAE&index=8 Just watch here]].
%% Korra may or may not qualify as an Amazonian Beauty - she's extremely well-built, but her skin is still drawn smooth and we haven't seen if she's affected by male gaze yet in-universe. It's better not to add this trope until we see her in action and can figure out if she really fits it.
* [[spoiler: ArrestedForHeroism... though not for long.]]
* BalloonBelly: Had one as a little girl.
* BloodKnight: She skirts the line between this and SpiritedCompetitor.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Korra can lift Tenzin and his children in a bear hug effortlessly. She tosses a {{Mook}} through a window not with bending, [[BadAss but her bare hands.]]
* ChildProdigy: Even moreso than Aang--she could already bend water, fire, ''and'' earth before the White Lotus even confirmed her as the Avatar. She does self-admittedly lack skill with the spiritual aspects of bending and being the Avatar; her lack of spirituality appears to be the only reason she didn't teach herself Airbending, as well.\\
\\
It should also be noted that Avatars often have trouble learning the element that is their natural opposite. For example, Aang, an airbender, had some difficulty grasping earthbending even with a skilled teacher. Korra, a waterbender, figured out how to firebend ''on her own,'' at an age even younger than Aang.
* TheChosenOne
* ChromaticArrangement: Blue.
* DanceBattler: If the lineart is to be believed.
* DestructiveSavior
* DynamicEntry: [[CrowningMomentofFunny As]] [[CuteBruiser a]] [[CrowningMomentofAwesome kid.]]
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: While hugging Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, she manages to effortlessly lift them off the ground. Not individually. ''All at once.''
* ElementalEyeColors: Water (though she can bend other elements, she nonetheless comes from the Water Tribe).
** BlueEyes
* ElementalPowers: Unlike Aang before her, Korra starts her series having already learned all but one of the elements.
** BlowYouAway: The one element Korra doesn't know by the beginning of the series.
** DishingOutDirt
** MakingASplash[=/=]AnIcePerson: She was even born in the Southern Water Tribe.
** PlayingWithFire
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: Korra has great difficulty with the spiritual aspects of being the Avatar, which is a problem because her ability to consciously access the Avatar State depends on spiritual enlightenment.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first scene (set at age five) has her Earthbend a wall across a room while arrogantly declaring that she's the Avatar.
* FreudianTrio: Id.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: In the Avatar state.
* GodInHumanForm
* GooGooGodlike: Whereas most Avatars don't discover their potential until they are told at [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday age sixteen]], and even Aang didn't find out until he was at least a pre-teen, Korra was already bending three elements with no formal training by the time she was five.
* [[HeroesLoveDogs Heroes Love Polar Bear Dogs]]
%% Hot Amazon is an IN-UNIVERSE trope. NOT an audience reaction. Stop adding it.
* HotBlooded
** GenkiGirl
* KungFuKid: Korra was already earthbending and firebending when she was just a little girl, ''way'' ahead of when she should have been able to.
* LameComeback: "You're oppressing yourself!"
* LegacyCharacter: She's the latest Avatar.
* LightningBruiser: She hits fast, she hits hard.
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* PhysicalGod
* NatureSpirit
* NaiveNewcomer: At first, she was surprised to find that not everyone in Republic City was rich. A cheerful old hobo corrects her.
** RookieRedRanger
** WelcomeToTheBigCity: The criminals she encounters even ID her straight away as being "obviously fresh off the boat."
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Mako's Blue Oni.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of the [[NatureSpirit spirit of the planet]] and most recently Aang.
* ShadowArchetype: Designed to be the "anti-Aang". Her official bio even says she couldn't have less in common with Aang if she tried.
* SleevesAreForWimps
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Bolin insists Korra is THE Avatar.
* SpiritedCompetitor: [[WordOfGod Word Of Bryke]] says she picks fights for no reason, whereas Aang was a MartialPacifist.
* SuperMode
* SuperpowerLottery: She's the Avatar. It's in the job description.
* TomboyishPonytail ''and'' TomboyishSidetails: So we're tentatively ruling out a girly girl, here.

[[caption-width-right:332:"Your best friend is a...polar bear dog. Somehow that makes perfect sense."]]
-> Voiced by David Faustino
The elder of two brothers from a mixed-ethnicity union. With Korra and his younger brother Bolin, they form a probending team.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Regardless of his rough edges, Mako loves Bolin. He's fiercely loyal and protective of him.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Korra's Red Oni.
** Even more of a {{Foil}} due to him being powerful, but a more focused and technical fighter in comparison to Korra's [[HotBlooded usual method of dealing with opponents]].
* ChromaticArrangement: Red.
* ControlFreak: Comes off like this, it seems. He's described as having a "tightly controlled" world.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeadGuyJunior: Meta example. He's named after {{Mako}}, Iroh's voice actor who died during the previous series.
** MeaningfulName: Which then automatically falls to this.
* DeadpanSnarker: Appears so.
* ElementalEyeColors: Fire.
** AmberEyes: Heads into the more orange color spectrum of it.
* ElementalPowers
** PlayingWithFire: He's Korra's firebending friend.
* {{Expy}}: To a small extent. The creators said he reminds them of Zuko "without the angst"; a bit of a brood but he's "lighter". It doesn't help that he's the firebender of the group and an attractive male.
* FingerlessGloves
* FreudianTrio: Superego.
* TheLeader: Of his pro-bending team. As in, he's the [[TheCaptain captain]] of the Fire Ferrets, and one of the top players in the Pro-bending arena overall.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Being a StreetUrchin and understandably needing cash, this is Mako's main goal for competing in the probending tournaments - to hit that jackpot.
* PrettyBoy: Visually, of course, as well as outright called a "beautiful man" by the creators.
* PromotionToParent: Burdened to take adult responsibilities at a young age and take care of Bolin.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Red, and one which the fans have responded to extremely well. It's been ''shipped'' all on its own.
* SiblingTeam: With Bolin.
** SiblingYinYang: Mako's serious, though not quite as downcast as his {{Expy}}. Life in the streets toughened him up, and he feels responsible for both himself and his younger brother. Bolin, on the other hand, is the easygoing, naive one of the two.
* StreetUrchin
* TallDarkAndHandsome: A straight example. Even his ''voice actor'' described him as "tall and handsome", and his ''official'' bios are no better in restating this fact.
* UnusualEyebrows: Of the "kinked" type, they resemble scythes a bit.

!Avatar Korra
[[quoteright:332:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_large_332x363_korra_8109.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:332:"I'm the Avatar, you gotta ''deal'' with it!"]]
->Voiced by Janet Varney
Korra is the present Avatar, successor to - and reincarnation of - Aang. She is a waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe with a rebellious streak. On her quest to become a fully realized Avatar and pacify the anti-benders in the United Republic, she asks Tenzin to teach her airbending.
----
* ActionGirl: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54srZLuYfb0&list=FLrXhLP7zMGAE&index=8 Just watch here]].
%% Korra may or may not qualify as an Amazonian Beauty - she's extremely well-built, but her skin is still drawn smooth and we haven't seen if she's affected by male gaze yet in-universe. It's better not to add this trope until we see her in action and can figure out if she really fits it.
* [[spoiler: ArrestedForHeroism... though not for long.]]
* BalloonBelly: Had one as a little girl.
* BloodKnight: She skirts the line between this and SpiritedCompetitor.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: Korra can lift Tenzin and his children in a bear hug effortlessly. She tosses a {{Mook}} through a window not with bending, [[BadAss but her bare hands.]]
* ChildProdigy: Even moreso than Aang--she could already bend water, fire, ''and'' earth before the White Lotus even confirmed her as the Avatar. She does self-admittedly lack skill with the spiritual aspects of bending and being the Avatar; her lack of spirituality appears to be the only reason she didn't teach herself Airbending, as well.\\
\\
It should also be noted that Avatars often have trouble learning the element that is their natural opposite. For example, Aang, an airbender, had some difficulty grasping earthbending even with a skilled teacher. Korra, a waterbender, figured out how to firebend ''on her own,'' at an age even younger than Aang.
* TheChosenOne
* ChromaticArrangement: Blue.
* DanceBattler: If the lineart is to be believed.
* DestructiveSavior
* DynamicEntry: [[CrowningMomentofFunny As]] [[CuteBruiser a]] [[CrowningMomentofAwesome kid.]]
* EffortlessAmazonianLift: While hugging Tenzin, Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, she manages to effortlessly lift them off the ground. Not individually. ''All at once.''
* ElementalEyeColors: Water (though she can bend other elements, she nonetheless comes from the Water Tribe).
** BlueEyes
* ElementalPowers: Unlike Aang before her, Korra starts her series having already learned all but one of the elements.
** BlowYouAway: The one element Korra doesn't know by the beginning of the series.
** DishingOutDirt
** MakingASplash[=/=]AnIcePerson: She was even born in the Southern Water Tribe.
** PlayingWithFire
* EnlightenmentSuperpowers: Korra has great difficulty with the spiritual aspects of being the Avatar, which is a problem because her ability to consciously access the Avatar State depends on spiritual enlightenment.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her first scene (set at age five) has her Earthbend a wall across a room while arrogantly declaring that she's the Avatar.
* FreudianTrio: Id.
* GlowingEyesOfDoom: In the Avatar state.
* GodInHumanForm
* GooGooGodlike: Whereas most Avatars don't discover their potential until they are told at [[DangerousSixteenthBirthday age sixteen]], and even Aang didn't find out until he was at least a pre-teen, Korra was already bending three elements with no formal training by the time she was five.
* [[HeroesLoveDogs Heroes Love Polar Bear Dogs]]
%% Hot Amazon is an IN-UNIVERSE trope. NOT an audience reaction. Stop adding it.
* HotBlooded
** GenkiGirl
* KungFuKid: Korra was already earthbending and firebending when she was just a little girl, ''way'' ahead of when she should have been able to.
* LameComeback: "You're oppressing yourself!"
* LegacyCharacter: She's the latest Avatar.
* LightningBruiser: She hits fast, she hits hard.
* PersonOfMassDestruction
* PhysicalGod
* NatureSpirit
* NaiveNewcomer: At first, she was surprised to find that not everyone in Republic City was rich. A cheerful old hobo corrects her.
** RookieRedRanger
** WelcomeToTheBigCity: The criminals she encounters even ID her straight away as being "obviously fresh off the boat."
* [[RedOniBlueOni Red Oni]]: To Mako's Blue Oni.
* {{Reincarnation}}: Of the [[NatureSpirit spirit of the planet]] and most recently Aang.
* ShadowArchetype: Designed to be the "anti-Aang". Her official bio even says she couldn't have less in common with Aang if she tried.
* SleevesAreForWimps
* SpellMyNameWithAThe: Bolin insists Korra is THE Avatar.
* SpiritedCompetitor: [[WordOfGod Word Of Bryke]] says she picks fights for no reason, whereas Aang was a MartialPacifist.
* SuperMode
* SuperpowerLottery: She's the Avatar. It's in the job description.
* TomboyishPonytail ''and'' TomboyishSidetails: So we're tentatively ruling out a girly girl, here.
!Mako
[[quoteright:332:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/character_large_332x363_mako_7489.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:332:"Your best friend is a...polar bear dog. Somehow that makes perfect sense."]]
-> Voiced by David Faustino
The elder of two brothers from a mixed-ethnicity union. With Korra and his younger brother Bolin, they form a probending team.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Regardless of his rough edges, Mako loves Bolin. He's fiercely loyal and protective of him.
* [[RedOniBlueOni Blue Oni]]: To Korra's Red Oni.
** Even more of a {{Foil}} due to him being powerful, but a more focused and technical fighter in comparison to Korra's [[HotBlooded usual method of dealing with opponents]].
* ChromaticArrangement: Red.
* ControlFreak: Comes off like this, it seems. He's described as having a "tightly controlled" world.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DeadGuyJunior: Meta example. He's named after {{Mako}}, Iroh's voice actor who died during the previous series.
** MeaningfulName: Which then automatically falls to this.
* DeadpanSnarker: Appears so.
* ElementalEyeColors: Fire.
** AmberEyes: Heads into the more orange color spectrum of it.
* ElementalPowers
** PlayingWithFire: He's Korra's firebending friend.
* {{Expy}}: To a small extent. The creators said he reminds them of Zuko "without the angst"; a bit of a brood but he's "lighter". It doesn't help that he's the firebender of the group and an attractive male.
* FingerlessGloves
* FreudianTrio: Superego.
* TheLeader: Of his pro-bending team. As in, he's the [[TheCaptain captain]] of the Fire Ferrets, and one of the top players in the Pro-bending arena overall.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Being a StreetUrchin and understandably needing cash, this is Mako's main goal for competing in the probending tournaments - to hit that jackpot.
* PrettyBoy: Visually, of course, as well as outright called a "beautiful man" by the creators.
* PromotionToParent: Burdened to take adult responsibilities at a young age and take care of Bolin.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: Red, and one which the fans have responded to extremely well. It's been ''shipped'' all on its own.
* SiblingTeam: With Bolin.
** SiblingYinYang: Mako's serious, though not quite as downcast as his {{Expy}}. Life in the streets toughened him up, and he feels responsible for both himself and his younger brother. Bolin, on the other hand, is the easygoing, naive one of the two.
* StreetUrchin
* TallDarkAndHandsome: A straight example. Even his ''voice actor'' described him as "tall and handsome", and his ''official'' bios are no better in restating this fact.
* UnusualEyebrows: Of the "kinked" type, they resemble scythes a bit.

* ChickMagnet
* ChromaticArrangement: Green.
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* ElementalEyeColors: Earth.
** GreenEyes
* ElementalPowers
** DishingOutDirt: He's Korra's earthbending friend.
* {{Expy}}/SpearCounterpart: Bolin's appearance and some personality quirks were inspired by the early concept for Toph, who was originally planned to be older and male.
* FreudianTrio: Ego.
* LetsGetDangerous: Exactly what it says on the tin. He may be laidback, but when it's time to bend, it's serious business.
* ThePrankster: To Mako! Pabu's his partner in crime.
* SiblingTeam: With Mako.
** SiblingYinYang: The cheerful, silly one.

* BlowYouAway: He's supposed to teach Korra Airbending.

* MeaningfulName: The fourteenth Dalai Lama's original name was Tenzin Gyatso.

-> Voiced by Eva Marie Saint
* IconicItem: Still wears her mother's necklace well into old age.
* OldMaster: She apparently became a member of the Order of the White Lotus. Barring that, she certainly had a hand in Korra's waterbending training, being the only waterbender of her generation from the Southern Water Tribe.
* TheMentor
* PassingTheTorch
-->[[spoiler: '''Katara:''' "Aang's time has passed. My brother and many of my friends are gone. It's time for you and your generation to take on the responsibility of keeping peace and balance in the world. But I think you're going to be a great Avatar. Goodbye, Korra."]]
