* SilkHidingSteel: The sharply intelligent Regent Malina of the Northern Water Tribe definitely fits this trope when she manages to thoroughly derail Ghazan and Ming-Hua's attempt to take her hostage merely by telling them to [[PolitenessJudo sit down and have a civilised conversation with her]] [[SpotOfTea over tea]].

Added DiffLines:

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Debatable for how evil-intentioned the Red Lotus are but when Korra temporarily lives apart from their group, P'Li (who is the least emotionally close to Korra) flat-out refuses to go after her if she does run away from them, due to her own experiences as a child.

* GreyAndGrayMorality: The anarchistic Red Lotus are in Republic City to keep an eye on Amon and the Equalists, with the originally heroic Korra siding with the former, and Asami with the latter, while others in the main cast are in secondary roles. Both the Red Lotus and the Eqaulists are shown to have a point.

* TakeThat: When Malina (Unalaq's widow) explains to Eska and Desna Unalaq's plan to become the Dark Avatar the twins and her comment on how underwhelming the plan is and that it lakes subtlety. [[spoiler:Jinora]] lampshades that they seem almost disappointed that Unalaq didn't have a better evil plan.

* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul:
** Since Asami is a part of the Equalists in this story she is shown having a close relationship with Liu, aka the Lieutenant, who is like a big brother to her.
** Since Korra grew up with the Red Lotus she is close with several of their members with the most overt being Ghazan and Ming-Hua who almost see her [[LikeASonToMe like a daughter]] [[spoiler: enough so that they eventually turn on Zaheer and help Korra seal up Vaatu.]]



* BigBadEnsemble: Both the Equalists and the Red Lotus are the main antagonists of the story but, [[spoiler:barring Zaheer sending Korra after Amon in revenge for Ming-Hua losing her bending]], neither group has anything to do with each other.



* BreakingTheFellowship: [[spoiler:By the end of Act 2 the Red Lotus seem to have been completely fractured. Korra has decided that she will no longer be controlled by Zaheer and chooses to become part of the world again. Ghazan and Ming-Hua decide to aid Korra in defeating Vaatu, since they love her too much to allow Zaheer to kill her, and leave for parts unknown. And Zaheer and P'Li leave during the battle with no idea what or when they will strike again.]]



* DemotedToExtra: Lin Beifong in Arc 1. Justified in that Korra is part of the Red Lotus in this continuity, so she would hardly want to get attention from the cops.

Added DiffLines:

** Vaatu in Act 2. While freeing him is ultimately the Red Lotus's plan for Korra, since Unalaq is dead in this timeline, he doesn't seem to have any way to influence the physical world and doesn't contact anyone. [[spoiler:He only shows up at the end of Act 2 in order to battle Korra during Harmonic Convergence which ends with Korra sealing him back in the Tree of Time.]]
* DiesDifferentlyInAdaptation: Much like in canon [[spoiler:Amon and Tarrlok]] die at the end of the first arc. [[spoiler:However instead of dying in a MurderSuicide Amon is killed by an Avatar State Korra after he almost depowers Sakari while P'Li assassinates Tarrlok while he is imprisoned on Air Temple Island in revenge for Ming-Hua's own depowering.]]
* DragonAscendant: [[spoiler:After Amon is killed by Korra, Yasuko and Liu take over as the leaders of the Equalists for Act 2.]]

Katara was able to resist bloodbending as well. It's not her disability that makes her immune, it's the fact that she's a master waterbender.


* DisabilityImmunity: All that practice Ming-Hua's gotten bending water to function as part of her body makes her resistant to bloodbending. [[spoiler: This does not extend to Amon's debending power]].
