The Fire Nation is the one nation that hasn't yet been explored in ''Legend of Korra''. We've already met Zuko and Iroh II but we still haven't met Zuko's daughter, the current Fire Lord, or any other children she might have.

[[WMG: Jinora and Kai have been forced to have a long-distance relationship because Tenzin is an OverprotectiveDad.]]
He's been deliberately keeping them physically apart to keep Jinora out of trouble. Astral projection is fine because Jinora won't get involved in sex or other mischief just by talking to Kai via astral projection.

[[WMG: Most of the relationships fail for a reason.]]

Each character has a negative characteristic, which affects their relationship. Rather than try to work out their differences or issues, they break the relationship off.

Naturally this will not become offical, we will not see both kissing or something like that, but both will be written like a couple during the season. We already have a lot of Subtext in the first new episodes, with Korras "I never had a girlfriend before"-Quote. Outside Avatar-buisness Korra mostly social interacts with Asami, Asami is now Korras battle Partner and in the Trailer we see Asami rescue a unconsious Korra in a Scene which remembers a lot on Katara rescuing Aang. Like I said, it will never becomes official, but it will be massive implied.

Self-explanatory. Maybe the boyfriend is someone we know, maybe it's a completely new character. Either way, the relationship won't last very long.

* This seems fairly illogical just from a storytelling standpoint, ShippingGoggles completely left out of the equation. Bryke would be incredibly remiss in doing their job if they did not go into some of the fallout from the Makorra break-up. Asami, at least, looked like she was about to ''murder Mako slowly'' when he just stood back and let Korra kiss him even though they were not supposed to be together anymore. She's definitely going to need some closure on that situation...and perhaps even a new love interest, all things considered. Not to give her that would just make the fans even more angry, and Bryke would feel bad because they withheld a good story when their job is to ''tell'' stories.
* Plus that, they've already promised more info about Lin's family in Book 3. That's probably going to include the identity of her father, if nothing else.
* Not to mention, Bryke has not objected to anything "shippy" in the midquel comics (what with the Zuko/Suki ship tease, Toph's recent crush on a new character, and the ongoing Kataang [[SickeninglySweethearts gooey-gooey goodness]]). Why would they be that shy with LoK? Any evasiveness they have exhibited in regards to romantic matters could be interpreted as their typical fan-teasing; it's not like they're going to let go of any secrets before the show actually airs.

After the... less than receptive... reception by the fanbase of the love quadrangle in Book 1, and an abortive retread of almost the ''exact same thing'' in Book 2, Bryke and company decided that extended focus on romance (as opposed to the ''very'' occasional ShipTease or brief moments as done in ATLA) is not their strong suit (see also the limited interaction between Tenzin and Pema) and/or tired of trying to [[TrollingCreator yank the fandom's chain]] [[UnpleasableFanbase when the fandom just keeps yanking back]]. The double breakups in the Book 2 finale are meant to acknowledge this, and, like Korra herself, the creators will increasingly focus on their original strengths (e.g. comedy, spiritual philosophy, martial arts, worldbuilding). As a corollary, [[WhyFandomCantHaveNiceThings we will never learn anything else about the pairings of the rest of the Gaang either]].

Her father, and the Northern Water Tribe's chieften did just turn into a giant monster and try to level Republic City. That's going to be a diplomatic nightmare, and the Northern Tribe is going to need to send someone high profile to try a smooth things over. Like their princess. Who might as well look Bolin up while she's in town.

* Debatable. There are two books left and a lot of character development that could go on. Since Book 1 was only supposed to be a miniseries, I'd say that at this point it could go either way. Hence (until the last episode of the whole series airs) why this is WMG and not canon.

Added DiffLines:

* Their break-up in the season finale was pretty permanent-sounding, so I'd say confirmed.

[[WMG: The endgame ships at the end of the show will ultimately be Korra/Bolin and Mako/Asami.]]
* Mako and Korra officially broke up for good, and so did Bolin and Eska. Mako and Asami seemed very happy together up until Mako was arrested and later denied that he and Korra broke up, so it's rather likely that they'll make up off-screen.

[[WMG: Korra will not be together with Mako at the end of Season 4]]
This is what the first half of season 2 seems to be building up to, showing that although they certainly have feelings toward each other, it isn't going to work out. It's part of her CharacterDevelopment away from being so HotBlooded. We should have been more GenreSavvy and realised that there's no way that the LoveDodecahedron was going to be resolved with 3 seasons left. On a meta level, this is could be another difference between Korra and Aang; because Aang ended up with his [[FirstGirlWins first love interest]], the writers are going to go the opposite direction with Korra.
