Characters / The Little Pony Legend

The Little Pony Legend contains a variety of characters hailing from the worlds of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and The Legend of Korra, respectively. Please note that these are tropes more exclusive to the fanfic. For character specific tropes from their original show, please refer to their respective character sheets.

Humans

Avatar Korra

A spirited and independent young woman, Korra is the current incarnation of the Avatar and the hero of Republic City. She was a little cocky when she first got to Republic City, and was just looking for a way to escape the isolation she had grown up with for most of her life. Her life changed, however, when she came face to face with a group of six ponies and a dragon who claimed to be from another world.

Tropes that apply to Princess Avatar Korra:

• Babies Ever After: With Mako, she has a daughter named Iris by the end of the original story.
• Break the Haughty: When she first arrived in Republic City, she was cocky and quite independent. After meeting the ponies, however, she brought herself down a peg and gained a good number of friends over the years.
• Character Development: Over the course of the fic, Korra gains many of the qualities exhibited by each of the Mane Six, in turn becoming more benevolent while remaining strong in her own right.
• The Hero: As the current incarnation of the Avatar and the first human alicorn princess, she's essentially this for Equestria, the Human World, and the Spirit Realm.
• Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Twilight Sparkle.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: She's fierce and independent on the outside, but has a kind heart.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia: In Book 4, Korra loses all her memories of her experiences with the ponies because of something that Kuvira and the Sirens have done to her. In turn, she only has memories based on the original Legend of Korra, which is portrayed as a world that could've been if Twilight and the others hadn't appeared. Eventually, however, she gets her memories back just in time to get back in the fight and save Republic City.
• Official Couple: Due to the author's preference, with Mako.
• Winged Humanoid: As the first human alicorn, Korra gets a permanent set of wings.

Mako

Leader of the Fire Ferrets, a famous pro-bending team in Republic City, Mako starts out stoic and cynical. Both he and his brother Bolin suffered the loss of their parents at the hands of a murderer when they were younger, which affected him significantly. After meeting Korra and the ponies, however, he started opening himself up more to the world and to the ponies' ideals of friendship, love, and compassion, which helped him to grow into a better person.

Tropes that apply to Mako:

• Babies Ever After: With Korra, he has a daughter named Iris by the end of the original fic.
• Official Couple: With Korra, due to the Author's preference.
• Playing with Fire: Is a Firebender.
• Took a Level in Kindness: Like Korra, he started as being more distant and not really in need of friendship until he met the ponies and the aforementioned Avatar.

Asami Sato

The daughter of Hiroshi Sato, the founder of the company called Future Industries in Republic City, she first met Korra and the ponies at a dinner that she invited Mako to after she crashed into him on her moped. At that time, she and the ponies weren't on good terms, as the latter wanted to ensure that Korra ended up with Mako. Eventually, however, she got on their good side, helping them pull through on a numerous occasions.

Tropes that apply to Asami Sato:

• Babies Ever After: With Bolin.
• Uncle Pennybags: Takes this role after her father revealed her true colors, even going so far as to hire Pony workers to promote harmony between both worlds.

Princess Iris

The daughter of Avatar Korra and Mako, Iris is the first-ever human-pony hybrid. This gives her her own magical powers. Her status as the Avatar's daughter has also given her the ability to tap into the Avatar state, which in turn makes her the next Avatar. She is a smart, brave, and kind soul, who takes very much after both her parents as she aims to live up to their legacy.

Tropes that apply to Princess

• Canon Foreigner: She's a completely original character, being the daughter of Avatar Korra and Mako in the fic.
• Early-Bird Cameo: She first appears at the very end of Balance of the Heart as a baby, marking the end of the original fic. Come time for the sequel, she becomes one of the main protagonists. The second story in the sequel arc, in particular, focuses on her growing up and discovering her destiny.
• Heroic Lineage: Her mother is Avatar Korra, and she takes her mother's legacy very seriously. This lineage also allows her to bend all four elements as the new Avatar.
• The Hero: She's growing into this role for her generation.
• Slap-Slap-Kiss: Forms a relationship with the part-nymph boy Hozu, being initially at odds with him for his cynical outlook on friendship and sharing his life with anyone until he helps the Guardians to band together to take back Canterlot and rescue her.
• Winged Humanoid: As the daughter of Princess Avatar Korra, the first human alicorn, and the first human-pony hybrid, she is this.
