* MoreExpendableThanYou: Lin is, first and foremost, a protector. Some people are so dear to her that she will put herself in mortal peril to ensure her charges' survival. She tells Tenzin and his family to escape without her and don't look back, because they are the last of the airbenders, and wiping them out would end airbending forever. For her troubles, she gets DePowered by Amon, which is just short of Death as an unpleasant fate for most benders. She was re-powered by Korra in the Book One denouement, however. Later in Book Three, when the plan to rescue the Airbenders captured by the Red Lotus goes horribly awry, she runs out to distract [[MadeOfExplodium P'Li]] near the end of Season 3 to give her sister Suyin (who has a family to return home to and in return expects her to come back to them) an opening against their foe, knowing full well the terrible risk in facing a combustion bender. Eventually, P'li has Lin dead to rights... but Lin gave her sister the shot she needed just in the nick of time.

In general, when it comes to Su, her younger sister has everything while she gets bare minimum, even if their lives are on the line.

Added DiffLines:

* DoubleStandardAbuseFemaleOnMale: Her throwing a tantrum after Tenzin broke up with her, which involves her destroying the Air Temple, and attempting to arrest an innocent woman is played for laughs. If Lin were a man and Tenzin a woman, she would surely be seen as a misogynistic domestic abuser.


Added DiffLines:

* OffstageVillainy: Lin destroying a temple and trying to arrest an innocent woman just because Tenzin left her is surely the worst act she has ever done, but it happens off-screen, and is only remembered as a funny anecdote.

* ForceAndFinesse: The force to Suyin's finesse, best exemplified in their duel. Lin [[Series/CobraKai strikes first, strikes hard, and shows no mercy.]] Her strikes are quick, powerful, and head-on. In many ways, she typifies earthbending's philosophy of taking things directly. This serves her well as a police chief, but when she comes up against Suyin, whose style of bending incorporates waterbending's adaptability and earthbending's acrobatics and indirection, she is easily bested.

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:In a mixture of TheWorfEffect and WorfHadTheFlu, the first time Suyin is seen in action, she casually brushes off anything Lin can throw at her in her dazed state and beats her within a minute.]]

* BlackSheep: Played with. Suyin admits that while her life went in the opposite direction of Lin's, Toph wasn't entirely happy with how either of them turned out. [[spoiler:This is later revealed to be untrue. Toph herself states that she thinks both of her daughters are great.]]

* CombatTentacles: She usually shoots out her metalbending cables to wrap around people and objects in a very Franchise/SpiderMan-esque way, but more complex maneuvers can take on this sort of appearance.
