Korra was born to Tonraq and Senna in the Southern Water Tribe following the death of Avatar Aang in 153 AG. At the age of four, she proudly introduced herself to the Order of the White Lotus as the new Avatar by performing water-, earth-, and firebending before them. She honed her waterbending under the tutelage of Katara, though her instinctive aggressive style was nothing like the calm, slow movements the elderly master tried to pass on.[11]
After Chief Unalaq learned that his niece was the Avatar, he constantly sought Tonraq's permission to train Korra in the spiritual ways of the Water Tribe, but his estranged brother shot him down. Since he secretly desired to indoctrinate Korra in the ways of the Red Lotus and coerce her to reopen the long-dormant spirit portals to release Vaatu,[2] Unalaq commissioned Zaheer, Ghazan, Ming-Hua, and P'Li to kidnap her in 158 AG. However, due to the efforts of Tonraq, Chief Sokka, Fire Lord Zuko, and Councilman Tenzin, the attempt was thwarted and the criminals were apprehended, although Unalaq's involvement remained unknown. After the incident, Tonraq and Tenzin decided to seclude the Avatar in the Southern Water Tribe compound, away from the public eye as she pursued the bending arts.[12]
Meeting Naga
As a young girl, during one of her waterbending training sessions with Katara, Korra accidentally knocked the elderly woman to the ground by bending a pile of snow on her and quickly apologized. However, their session got cut short by Tonraq, who noticed a snowstorm was heading their way. When the winds carried the howls of a pack of polar bear dogs across the frozen tundra, Korra desired to go play with them but was forced to return home with her parents for safety.

after searching the tundras in the middle of a storm.
During the night, however, she sneaked out and braved the storm, intending to track down the pack and play with them. Stumbling upon a sole pup, which got separated from the pack in the storm, she gained the animal's trust by offering it some fish jerky and started to hop around on all fours around her, desiring to play together.
When the young Avatar realized after a while that she too had gotten herself lost in the raging storm, Korra urged the animal not to fear as she was the Avatar and proceeded to build a rudimentary igloo with her waterbending. Sheltered from the wind, she attempted to bend a small flame for heat but subsequently lost control of it, startling herself and the polar bear pup. She quickly apologized to the animal, noting that she was not a good firebender yet due to Katara prohibiting her from learning the other elements before she was a good waterbender. Musing that being the Avatar was not as fun as she thought it would be due to the abundance of rules, she found herself cheered up by the pup as it started licking her hand. Huddled together, the two youngsters eventually fell asleep.
The next morning, Korra and the pup awoke from their slumber when Tonraq found and cracked open their shelter. She promptly introduced the polar bear dog to them as Naga and asked if she could keep her, as she had lost her pack and needed a new family. Korra happily played with Naga in the snow while Tonraq and Senna discussed Naga's fate with Katara. Much to their mutual enthusiasm, Korra was allowed to keep her, and they all returned home where the youngsters continued to play together.
Inseparable during the following years growing up, Naga became Korra's best friend, animal guide, and main means of transport,[11] while Korra demonstrated a prodigious talent in the arts of waterbending, earthbending, and firebending during her training sessions at the Southern Water Tribe compound.[13]

Korra was interrogated by
Chief
Lin Beifong
shortly after her arrival in
Republic City
.
By 170 AG, at the age of seventeen, Korra had mastered all the elements save for airbending, which she was set to be taught by Tenzin as soon as he moved to the Southern Water Tribe. However, after Tenzin's move to her home fell through, Korra took matters into her own hands and stowed away on a ship, traveling to Republic City. Roaming though the city in search of Air Temple Island, she discovered that the bustling metropolis was not all that she was told to be; she learned that there was a great deal of imbalance among its citizens with triads and Equalists running around. After defeating some members of the Triple Threat Triad, she found herself in trouble with Lin Beifong and her Metalbending Police Force. She was cleared of all charges due to Tenzin's intervention and eventually allowed to stay with him at the air temple to commence her airbending training there.[13] However, progress was slow and the Avatar grew frustrated. To unwind, she joined the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team and befriended her teammates, the brothers Mako and Bolin.[14]
When Bolin got kidnapped by the Equalists, Korra helped his brother to find him. They tracked him down to an abandoned warehouse where they witnessed firsthand Amon's ability to strip a bender of their bending abilities.[15] Although they managed to save Bolin, Amon left a deep impression on Korra, who grew fearsome of the Equalist leader. Regardless, she joined Councilman Tarrlok's task force.[16]

While she worked to rid the city of the Equalists, she also kept training with the bending brothers to win the Pro-bending Championship. Although they had some hard matches due to internal romantic struggles,[17] they managed to reach the finale. However, after their match against the White Falls Wolfbats ended with their defeat due to cheating of the other team, Amon and his Equalists attacked the Pro-bending Arena, effectively destroying the building.[18]
Soon after, Korra discovered that Hiroshi Sato had ties with the Equalists, and as such, she invited both Asami Sato and the bending brothers to come live with her at the island.[19] There, feeling insecure about herself as the Avatar, she and her friends formed a team with the purpose of patrolling the city and apprehending Equalists. As such, she angered Tarrlok, and the Councilman broke up their team by arresting all of Korra's friends. When she confronted Tarrlok about his actions later on, the discussion erupted into a duel. As the Avatar was about to overpower the councilman, Tarrlok revealed himself to be a bloodbender and subdued her with the ability.[20] Korra was locked up in a secluded cabin in the mountains surrounding the city. In isolation, unable to escape, she meditated and connected with Aang, discovering the truth about Tarrlok's heritage. However, when Amon and his Equalists ambushed the cabin, she managed to escape.[21]

In the aftermath of her escape, Amon launched his grand attack on the city. Korra and her friends fought back for a while, but the sheer number and power of the Equalists forced them on the run. Korra retreated into the tunnel system of the city, where she would await the arrival of reinforcements in the form of General Iroh and his United Forces.[22] However, he too proved to be no match for the Equalists machines, and Korra pulled the injured general out of the water. After this incident, she vowed to take the battle to Amon, and together with Mako, she set out to confront him. After having learned that he truly was a waterbender from the Northern Water Tribe,[23] they eventually found him at the Pro-bending Arena, where he was holding a victory speech. The Avatar freed Tenzin and his children, though when she faced Amon, the Equalist leader managed to take away her bending. However, as she witnessed Amon on the verge of taking Mako's bending as well, she unlocked her airbending and managed to overpower Amon.

After the Equalists' defeat, Korra traveled to the Southern Water Tribe, hoping that Katara could undo Amon's action. The old healer was unable to, however, and a heartbroken Korra ran off to grieve on her own. There, she finally managed to connect with her spiritual side, and as such, Aang and the other previous Avatars helped to restore her bending, as well as bestow upon her the ability to restore other people's bending. Having regained her bending and mastered the Avatar State, Korra and Mako became a couple.[8]

Main article: History of Korra (171 AG - Harmonic Convergence)
After the Anti-bending Revolution, Korra extensively used energybending to restore the bending of the innocent benders Amon victimized with his bloodbending[24] and trained with Tenzin to perfect her skill in airbending, achieving the status as a Fully Realized Avatar.
Korra opening the spirit portal.png
Despite the resistance of the
dark spirits
, Korra managed to open the
Southern
spirit portal
.
Although Tenzin wanted her to accompany him on a journey to visit all the air temples, Korra was adamant about first attending the Glacier Spirits Festival. However, after she learned there from her uncle, Unalaq, that it had been Tenzin and Tonraq's decision to keep her secluded in the compound, she broke with her airbending master and accepted Unalaq's offer to become her spiritual guide.[25] As a first step in her training, Korra journeyed to the South Pole and opened the Southern spirit portal, causing the spirit lights to return to the South. When they made their way back to the Southern Tribe, Korra discovered that in the meantime the Northern Navy had arrived and occupied the harbor.[26] Although Unalaq claimed it was an attempt to reconnect both tribes, the Southerners were not pleased with the Northern presence and Korra was forced to mediate between her own people, causing her to be seen as a traitor by some.
Civil War.png
Korra attempted to intervene in tensions between
Southern Water Tribe
civilians and
Northern
military
forces.
When Korra learned of Varrick's plan to kidnap Unalaq, she feared that her father was involved. She thwarted the attempt and discovered Tonraq had nothing to do with the Southern Water Tribe rebels.[27] However, her parents were arrested and tried for treason nonetheless, a trial during which only her mother was acquitted. In an attempt to free her father, Korra confronted Judge Hotah and learned that the entire tribe and Tonraq's initial banishment of from the North had all been orchestrated by Unalaq. Enraged, Korra and her friends, with the help of Varrick, freed Tonraq and the other rebels from Northern custody, effectively commencing a Water Tribe Civil War.[28]
Korra and Team Avatar journeyed back to Republic City in an attempt to persuade President Raiko to deploy the United Forces fleet to aid the South. With tensions rising between the two tribes and the pressure to do something on Korra increased, she also began to have relationship troubles with Mako and, after he had informed Raiko of her plan to go to General Iroh behind his plan, they broke up. In a last attempt to gather support for her tribe, Korra left for the Fire Nation to ask the Fire Lord for help. However, she never reached her destination as she was first attacked by her cousins, Desna and Eska, and later ambushed and swallowed by a dark spirit.[29]

Korra had to reconnect with her deepest memories in order to find her
Avatar Spirit
.
Korra washed ashore on an island inhabited by the Bhanti Tribe, though the attack of the spirit had infected her Avatar Spirit, leaving her without her memory.[30] She was lowered by the tribe into a pool of spirit water, where she reconnected with her Avatar Spirit by learning how Wan became the first Avatar by fusing with Raava during Harmonic Convergence in 9,829 BG and how they defeated Vaatu.[31][32] With the warning of the shaman that Harmonic Convergence was nearly upon them again, Korra tracked down Tenzin and his family at the Eastern Air Temple and asked for his help to enter the Spirit World in order for her to close the Southern spirit portal and prevent Vaatu's escape. It was with Jinora's help, however, that she managed to cross over,[33] though soon after they arrived, the girls got separated. Korra found herself in a dark forest, where she reverted to her four-year-old self, though with the guidance of Iroh, she was able to revert the change. Making her way over to the spirit portals, she discovered that Jinora had been captured by Unalaq, who threatened to destroy the girl's soul if Korra did not open the Northern spirit portal as well. Korra complied, though as opposed to earning Jinora's freedom, she was attacked by Unalaq and dark spirits. Korra managed to escape with the help of a dragon bird spirit and returned to the physical world.[34]

portal.
Having gathered reinforcements in the form of Team Avatar and Varrick's battleship, Korra made her way to the South to enter the Spirit World through the portal there and close the portals from the inside before Harmonic Convergence started. Although their initial attempt to breach through the Northern defenses at the portal ended up with their capture, the Team managed to escape due to Bumi's intervention. While Tenzin, Kya, and Bumi would look for Jinora, Mako and Bolin would hold Unalaq back while Korra closed the portals. She did not manage to close them in time, however, and Vaatu managed to escape at the start of the celestial event.[35] Although she tried to re-imprison the spirit of darkness, she could not prevent him from fusing with Unalaq and becoming the Dark Avatar.
Korra reaches for Raava.png

With the fate of the world at stake, Korra engaged Unalaq in battle, though knew her defeat when Vaatu extracted Raava out of her and destroyed the Light Spirit, effectively severing Korra's connection to all her past lives.[36] Upon Tenzin's instance, Korra meditated within the Tree of Time to connect with the cosmic energy and astral project an enormous apparition of her own spirit. Traveling via the spirit lights toward Republic City, Korra engaged Unalaq, who had taken on enormous proportions as well and was laying siege to the city. During the fight, Korra searched the Dark Avatar for a sign of Raava, as she knew that dark could not live without light and upon the destruction of one spirit, it would always live on in the other. However, she could not find a trace of Raava and the Dark Avatar took advantage of her unguarded moment to trap Korra's soul within a spiritbending move. Right before Korra's spirit was on the verge of being corrupted, Jinora's spiritual projection appeared and revealed Raava within Unavaatu. Korra pulled the Light Spirit out, before employing spiritbending to purify Unalaq, destroying him. With Harmonic Convergence nearing its end, Korra, Raava, and Jinora returned to the Spirit World, where she and Raava fused back together as the convergence ended.
Upon her return to the physical world, she declared the Water Tribe Civil War over and the South as an independent nation with Tonraq as its chief. She also announced that she had left both portals open, ushering in a new era in which humans and spirits coexisted.[9]

Korra confronts Hundun.png
Korra was confronted by
Hundun
, an enemy one of her past lives had faced a thousand years prior.
Shortly after the Unalaq Crisis, Korra temporarily lost her bending due to being attacked by chi blocking darts. On a quest to regain her abilities, she fought off the Triple Threat Triad and the residual Equalists, who had all been enlisted by Hundun, as well as hordes of dark spirits. She eventually tracked Hundun down to the Spirit World, where she learned that he was out for vengeance due to the actions of one of her past lives. Despite facing fierce mental and physical challenges, she eventually managed to regain her ability to enter the Avatar State and overpowered Hundun, using her spiritbending to dissipate him and his brother.[37]
In the following week, Korra continued to struggle with the changes that Harmonic Convergence brought. The spirit vines created by the Dark Avatar had taken over parts of Republic City, leaving countless citizens homeless, and her failure to remove them caused for tension between her and President Raiko. Additionally, the shift in the world's energy gave several people across the Earth Kingdom the ability to airbend. After her clash with Raiko reached its zenith and he banished her from the city, Korra and her allies set out to scour the Earth Kingdom in search of these new benders to offer them training and guidance.[38]

Despite initial failures to persuade the new airbenders to abandon their lifestyle in order to rebuild the Air Nation, they eventually managed to persuade Kai to young them.[39] They journeyed to Ba Sing Se, where they eventually discovered that Earth Queen Hou-Ting had been conscripting the airbenders into her army, holding them captive underneath the Earth Queen's Temple. Before they could formulate a plan to free them, Lin joined them and informed them of the escape of four dangerous criminals who were after Korra. She dismissed the threat, however, and decided to stay focused on freeing the airbenders. Successfully fighting off the Dai Li and escaping the city, the airbenders and Tenzin traveled to the Northern Air Temple, while Korra, her friends, and Lin continued the search for more benders.[12]

Their search led them to Zaofu, where they met up with Suyin Beifong, Lin's half-sister, whose daughter Opal had become an airbender. Although the plan had been to send Opal to the Northern Air Temple, the team stayed at Zaofu for a while on Suyin's suggestion.[40] While training Opal in the basics, Korra was taught metalbending by Suyin, becoming the first metalbending Avatar.[41] The threat Lin warned her about eventually caught up with her, and Korra was kidnapped by Zaheer and his three companions, Ghazan, P'Li, and Ming-Hua. Before they could escape, however, she was saved by her friends, and after discovering that Aiwei had led the criminals inside the city, Team Avatar left the Metal Clan in order to track him down and find out why Korra was being targeted.[42]

Following him to the Misty Palms Oasis, the team discovered that Aiwei was meeting Zaheer at Xai Bau's Grove. In an attempt to follow them, they staked out Aiwei's room at the Misty Palms Inn, though eventually discovered that the grove was located in the Spirit World. Korra entered the Spirit World via mediation herself and found Aiwei being confronted by Zaheer. Zaheer promptly disposed of Aiwei by throwing him into the Fog of Lost Souls, leaving the two of them to talk. Being allowed to ask questions, Korra discovered that Zaheer and his associates were part of the Red Lotus, who desired to radically change the world by doing away with the separation of the four nations. Meanwhile, Korra's meditating form was taken by Asami on Naga, as Ghazan and Ming-Hua attempted to kidnap her. Although they managed to escape the Red Lotus, however, they were captured by Earth Kingdom soldiers, since the Earth Queen had declared them enemies of the kingdom.[2]

Korra and Asami eventually managed to free themselves and prevent being taken back to Ba Sing Se. Their escape left them and the airship crew stranded in the Si Wong Desert, forcing them all to work together to reach the safety of the Misty Palms Oasis, where they once again met up with Mako, Bolin, Lin, Tonraq, and Zuko and learned that Zaheer had killed the Earth Queen[43] and threatened to do the same with the airbenders at the Northern Air Temple lest Korra surrendered herself to them.[44]
Their forces strengthened by Suyin and her security force, the team set course for the Northern Air Temple. On the way, Korra decided that she would give herself up, as it was the only way to save the airbenders. As such, she met Zaheer atop Laghima's Peak, while Asami, Mako, and Bolin would check on the airbenders at the temple, and Tonraq and the metalbenders would scale the mountain to be her back up. Zaheer double-crossed them, however, and despite P'Li's demise in the ensuing battle, he managed to escape with an unconscious Korra.[45]

could end the

When she woke up, Korra found herself suspended in chains in an underground prison hold and was administered a poison through her skin. She was told the poison would force her body into the Avatar State, enabling the Red Lotus to end the Avatar Cycle if they killed her in the Avatar State. She tried to fight it off, though she eventually succumbed to the poison's influence, and the Avatar State was triggered. The moment she remained in the state, she was attacked by Ghazan and Ming-Hua. Using her enhanced strength and bending abilities, she managed to free herself from her chains and confronted Zaheer in a duel, while Bolin and Mako took care of the others.

Defenseless, Korra was slowly suffocated by

With the Avatar State, Korra was able to hold her own against Zaheer, even force him on the defense, though she could not keep up battling both him and the poison, eventually succumbing to its effect. Rendered defenseless, Zaheer took the opportunity to suffocate her, though before he could finish his attack, they were both trapped in a tornado created by Jinora and the novice airbenders. Freed from Zaheer's hold, Korra managed to ensnare Zaheer and pull him down with her, enabling Lin and Suyin to trap him in an earthen prison. Despite her victory, Korra was left on the verge of death due to the poison within her. When Jinora recognized the poison to be a metallic solution, Suyin tried to bend it out of her, saving her life. However, the poison had taken a great toll on her, confining her to a wheelchair in a physically and emotionally weakened state.[46]
171 - 173 AG
After Jinora's ceremony, Korra changed into her normal attire and was set to board the steamship heading toward the Southern Water Tribe, together with her parents, Naga, and Kya. Before boarding, she was given a letter by Bolin, who expressed his delight over becoming pen pals with her. Although Asami inquired if she would be fine on her own as the business woman would be happy to accompany her, Korra declined the offer, stating that some weeks by herself to heal would do her good. Tenzin reassured her that he, Jinora, and the Air Nation would try their best to take care of things in her absence so she could focus all her energy on healing.
Senna worried about Korra.png
After another sleepless night, Korra agreed to
her mother
's request to visit
Katara
.
Three weeks later, while staying at the Southern Water Tribe Royal Palace, Korra had a nightmare about Zaheer asphyxiating her. She woke up, severely distressed and breathing heavily. Korra went out on the balcony for some fresh air and to look at the spirit lights, where she was found by her mother. Senna approached her, worried about her well-being, and urged her to seek help from Katara. She agreed and received a hug from her mother, who expressed her love for Korra.
While being healed by Katara, Korra was told that the mercury poison had caused considerable internal damage. Inquiring if the elder could fix it, Korra was told that her recovery was dependent on her own efforts, though Katara would help guide her through the process. Korra expressed her desire to recover and was urged to visualize her big toe moving, a feat she managed to accomplish, much to her delight. Korra subsequently moved to the parallel bars in order to try walking. Leaning heavily on the bars, she managed to keep herself standing, though before she could take a step, she was overwhelmed by the memory of herself being poisoned by the Red Lotus, causing her to lose her balance and fall down. Although Katara comforted her, emphasizing that she was safe there and urging her to use her mind to overcome her pain, Korra refused to try again, declaring herself done for that day. Throughout her stay in the South, Korra received and read the letters sent to her by Asami, Mako, and Bolin.
Katara helping Korra.png
Korra worked intensively with
Katara
to help speed up her recuperation from the
mercury
poisoning.
Korra kept up her intensive physiotherapy training, though nearly six months later, she lost patience due to a lack of significant progress. Lamenting about her inability to take more than a few steps without collapsing, she snapped at Katara in her frustration over being dependent on others for everything, while her friends were helping the world and the elderly woman could not heal her. Immediately realizing that she should not have addressed Katara that way, she apologized and was told to let go of her anger and frustration. Upon admitting that she was tired of her situation and the senselessness of it all, Katara tried to comfort her by sharing the sense of loss Aang felt over losing his entire culture and telling her he had tried to find meaning in the suffering and eventually even succeeded to find peace. When Korra asked what she would find, she was offered the response that whatever it was, it would be interesting to find out. Korra subsequently tried to walk again with the aid of the parallel bars and managed to walk the short distance toward Naga, falling happily against the polar bear dog's chest.
Tenzin and a frustrated Korra.png
Although she had improved greatly, Korra grew frustrated that she had not recovered completely and began to fear that she may never do so.
Korra continued to improve and by the time Tenzin arrived at the Southern Water Tribe compound, Korra had improved to the point where she could once again run around and fight. As the airbending master climbed off Oogi, she warmly embraced him, exclaiming how much she had missed him. Upon receiving the compliment that she looked great, she dragged Tenzin off toward the training grounds, eager to show him how much she had improved. She sparred against three firebenders and although she started strong, she was knocked down after she was once again overcome with a vision of Zaheer flying down upon her. Helped back to her feet by Tenzin who declared the sparring match to be over, she angrily stated that she believed she had been ready. As Tenzin tried to put her at ease by pointing out that there was no shame in taking the time needed to make a full recovery as her duties as the Avatar could wait, Korra asked about the Earth Kingdom, since she knew it was still in chaos. Hearing that the situation had been stabilized by Kuvira, she grew sad, stating that the metalbender was doing her job. Before Tenzin could tell her that she merely needed to be patient, Korra glared at him, threatening that if he would voice the thought, she would "water-smack" him in the mouth. Frustrated about the situation, she left the sparring ring.
Korra writes Asami.png
Korra confided in
Asami
about all her fears regarding her recovering via a letter.
For two years, Korra continued her training and recovery at the Southern Water Tribe. At one point, she wrote a letter back to Asami, in which she apologized for not having written before. She revealed that the past couple of years had been the hardest of her life and even though she had recovered physically, she still could not enter the Avatar State and was often plagued by memories of Zaheer and the Red Lotus attack. She admitted that she worried that she might never fully recover, despite her best efforts. Korra implored Asami to not inform Mako and Bolin about the letter, as she did not want to hurt their feelings and felt like they would not understand her as opposed to Asami.
While having a meal with her parents, an absent-minded Korra was playing with her food until her mother's inquiry about her well-being snapped her out of her thought. She expressed her desire to return to Republic City, hoping that it could speed up her recovery due to it being the place of action and where her friends were. Korra declined Tonraq's offer to get the White Lotus to prepare for her departure, insisting on going alone as it would give her the chance to clear her head.
Korra cutting her hair.png
Wanting to start over and rediscover herself, Korra shed her
Water Tribe
identifiers, donned an
Earth Kingdom
attire, and cut her hair.
En route, Korra briefly stopped at a beachside village to purchase supplies. Upon requesting the local fishmonger for two lobster crabs, she was recognized as the Avatar and asked to pose for a picture, just like Avatar Aang had done decades before. The man's ramblings about Avatars were cut short when another vendor shouted about a robbery in progress and the fishmonger pushed Korra to intervene. Although she intercepted the thieves, the two men easily defeated her, leaving Korra lying on the beach in shame. Korra eventually made it to Republic City, though as she neared Air Temple Island, she saw herself in the Avatar State standing atop one of the rocks near the island, glaring menacingly at her. Realizing she was not ready to return, she turned her boat and left Yue Bay, docking somewhere in a deserted area, where she obtained Earth Kingdom clothes, shed all her Water Tribe identifiers, and cut her hair.
Korra with spirits.png
Convinced that she needed to discover how to reconnect with
Raava
on her own, Korra declined the help of the spirits.
Korra traveled to the Spirit World through the northern spirit portal and made her way to the Tree of Time. Her meditation in the hollow of the tree was interrupted by chattering spirits, who were debating among themselves whether or not she was the Avatar. When Korra verified her identity as such, she revealed to them that she had been away for a while due to sustaining severe injuries in her last big battle, which had left her unable to contact Raava. She admitted to meditating in the Tree of Time since the last time she had done so, it had shown her a myriad of images and she had hoped it would be the case again, figuring it could help her to reconnect with Raava and access the Avatar State. When it proved to be unsuccessful, she declined the spirits' help, deciding that she needed to figure it all out on her own since the help of others had not borne any fruit so far.
In order to keep people from worrying about her, Korra wrote letters to her parents, telling them she was pleased to have returned to Air Temple Island and see her friends again. In reality, however, Korra was roaming the physical world by herself, crossing icy seas, hiking up volcanoes, and traversing the desert, all the while seeing an apparition of herself in the Avatar State. While she was wandering the desert, Korra saw Raava atop a nearby dune, though by the time she had scampered to the top, the Light Spirit was gone, having been only a mirage.[47]

Korra confronting herself.png
Still suffering from the mental whiplash of the
mercury
poisoning, Korra was haunted by visions of her
Avatar
self attacking her.
Six months after having left the South Pole, Korra made her way to a small Earth Kingdom town at night, where she was once again haunted by her Avatar apparition. Determined to end the haunting, Korra confronted the apparition, though lost.[48] When she encountered a puppy in the middle of the road, she decided to follow the dog after it had chased away her apparition and ended up at the Foggy Swamp. Losing track of the animal who turned out to be the light spirit whom she had met at the Tree of Time, she was once again attacked by her apparition, who dragged her down in a hallucinatory pool of mercury. She eventually woke up in the home of Toph Beifong, who had found her unconscious in the mud.[47]

Letting go of her fears of her past enemies, Korra was able to
bend
the
mercury
out of her body, relieving her mental block.
Desiring to get back into Avatar fighting shape, Korra asked Toph for help and eventually learned that she was still carrying around traces of mercury. When she was plagued by another vision of Zaheer trying to asphyxiate her in the Avatar State as Toph tried to remove the mercury, Korra was told that she would have to bend the metal out herself, since she was subconsciously fighting Toph's attempts to remove it out of fear of getting injured again.[49] When Korra made her way through the swamp two days later, she was haunted by visions of her old enemies once again, though with Toph's help, she figured out that she needed to face her fears and stop fighting her old enemies if she ever wished to be able to deal with future threats. In order to speed up her recovery, Toph took her to the banyan-grove tree, where she reconnected with herself and the world. After being found by Jinora, Ikki, and Meelo, they all returned to Toph's dwelling in the swamp, where Korra eventually managed to bend out all of the residual poison out of her system.[50]
Kuvira versus Korra.png
Still not in top form and plagued by hallucinations, Korra was overpowered by
Kuvira
.
In order to let Kuvira and the rest of the world know that the Avatar was back, Korra and the three airbenders traded the swamp for Zaofu, though they discovered that the military of the Earth Empire was already camped at its gates. Believing that conflict had only made things worse in the past, Korra set out to negotiate with Kuvira though was urged to convince Suyin to give the city up. Upon her return to the city, Korra learned that Suyin had left with Wei and Wing to sneak into Kuvira's camp and deal with the threat themselves.[51] When Kuvira announced over the city's communication system that Suyin and the twins had been captured, Korra tried to reason with the army commander though ended up being challenged for a one-on-one duel for the fate of Zaofu. Kuvira had the upper hand until Korra entered the Avatar State. On the verge of ending Kuvira, however, she was plagued by another hallucination of herself in the Avatar State, allowing the army commander to recover and defeat her. As Kuvira moved to kill her, she was saved by Jinora and Opal and escaped from Zaofu with them, Ikki, and Meelo.[52]
Team Avatar excludes Wu.png
Moving past the tension, Korra shared a warm hug with
Mako
and
Asami
, truly reuniting as a
team
.
Returning to Republic City, Korra met up with Asami and Mako, though there reunion soon became tense due to their three-year separation. When Prince Wu was kidnapped, the trio gave chase, tracking the royal down to a train departing from Central City Station. Despite the team's continuous bickering, they found Wu and freed him, though were soon after forced on the defense by several Earth Empire agents. Working together, however, they managed to hold them off and escape. The three friends made amends before Mako retreated to the Sato estate with Wu, and Korra and Asami returned to Air Temple Island.[53] As Korra mulled over her past experiences, she became doubtful over her abilities as the Avatar, though with the support of Asami and Tenzin, she became once again determined to restore balance in the world.[1]
Zaheer helping Korra.png
With no other options left to her, Korra agreed to let
Zaheer
guide her into the
Spirit World
and help her to let go of her fear of "what might have been".
When Jinora asked for her and Opal's help to search for Ryu, who had gone missing with his tour group in the Spirit Wilds, Korra discovered via the plants that Kuvira was harvesting roots from the Foggy Swamp. Splitting for Jinora, she left to warn the world leaders about the impending danger, though she was soon contacted by Jinora again, who called for help as she was being attacked by the vines. With Mako's help, Korra discovered that Jinora, Ryu, and the other tourists' souls had been trapped in the Spirit World, though after failing to meditate in, being blocked again by Zaheer's memory, she concluded that she needed to face the Red Lotus leader. When Zaheer noted that her spiritual block was a conscious choice, Korra snapped at him for having created the "worst dictator the Earth Kingdom [had] ever seen", which lead Zaheer to offer to guide her into the Spirit World. Although Korra initially refused his help, she let him guide her through her traumatic experience, and she managed to make it into the Spirit World, where Raava's spirit lit up within her. Together, they found and rescued the trapped souls.[54]
Baatar Jr. and Korra.png
Korra managed to force
Baatar Jr.
to try to talk
Kuvira
out of
conquering
the
United Republic of Nations
by threatening to keep them apart forever, which was something he could not live with.
To help the United Republic prepare for battle, Korra asked the spirits to help defend their new home, though they refused to take part in human wars.[55] When she later learned that Kuvira's attack was imminent, Korra and Team Avatar set out to destroy the train tracks with which they presumed Kuvira would transport her spirit energy cannon to Republic City. Much to her shock, however, she discovered that Kuvira was already nearing the city and had mounted the weapon on an enormous mecha suit instead. While the Earth Empire military forced the United Forces to surrender, Korra formed an airbender stealth team and kidnapped Baatar Jr. in order to force him to try and talk Kuvira out of conquering the United Republic of Nations. The plan failed, however, and then were nearly all killed when she blew up the Future Industries factory in which they were hiding.[56]

Kuvira

While it was decided that Asami and Varrick, with the help of Hiroshi and Zhu Li, would adjust the prototypes of the hummingbird mecha suits in order to cut through platinum, Korra and the other benders faced Kuvira's enormous mecha suit in an attempt to slow it down. After Asami and Hiroshi managed to cut a hole in the suit, which cost Hiroshi his life, Korra, Mako, Bolin, Lin, and Suyin infiltrated the mecha suit.[57] While Lin and Suyin took down the cannon, which ended up being discarded in the Spirit Wilds, Korra faced Kuvira, though their battle was interrupted when Mako and Bolin caused the engine to explode. The two women continued their fight inside the Spirit Wilds, where Kuvira fired the spirit energy cannon at Korra. Although she dove out of the way of the beam, the cannon charged itself with the surrounding spirit vines and overloaded. When the beam threatened to kill Kuvira, Korra jumped in front of her and, entering the Avatar State, held the beam at bay, though the enormous surge of energy expanded around them and exploded, creating a new spirit portal.
Korra sympathizes with Kuvira.png
Korra understood and sympathized with
Kuvira
's reasoning for her actions.
Korra and Kuvira were thrown into the Spirit World. Seeing her opportunity, Korra explained that she saw a lot of herself in Kuvira, stating that they were both fierce and determined to succeed, sometimes even without thinking things through. When the metalbender snapped that she had been merely trying to help her people in the absence of the Avatar, Korra understood that Kuvira had only been trying to create a place where she and her people would never have to feel vulnerable again and sympathized with the hardships that come from a life as an orphan. She managed to convince Kuvira to surrender, and when they both exited the Spirit World via the portal, Kuvira gave herself up to Lin and Suyin, acknowledging that the Avatar had saved her life and possessed a power beyond what she could ever hope to achieve.

Korra and
Asami
held hands and gazed at each other lovingly as they entered the
spirit portal

Later, Korra attended Varrick and Zhu Li's wedding at Air Temple Island, during which she learned that Wu planned to abolish the earth monarchy and establish independent states with democratically elected governments akin to the United Republic of Nations instead, a cause for which she pledged her support. When Korra later distanced herself from the party and gazed over the skyline of Republic City, she was joined by Tenzin. Talking about how much she had already changed the world and how much more she desired to do, they were eventually interrupted by Asami, and Tenzin left the two women to themselves. Korra apologized to Asami for having been absent for three years and tried to comfort her for the loss of her father. When Asami stated that she did not feel like returning to the party and could use a vacation, Korra offered to go with her anywhere she wanted. The two decided to journey to the Spirit World and, upon stepping into the spirit portal, they turned to each other and held both hands while gazing lovingly into each other's eyes, starting their romantic relationship together.[6][10]
Vacation in the Spirit World
Korra and Asami kiss.png
After talking about their feelings, Korra and
Asami
shared a kiss.
Korra and Asami proceeded to enjoy a series of adventures in the Spirit World, which was cut short when the mountain they began climbing revealed itself to be a spirit. This spirit was displeased with Korra's accidental creation of the Republic City portal, resulting in the couple being thrown into the air. Korra quickly used her airbending to soften their landing and afterwards apologized to Asami for letting their getaway result in them almost getting killed. Asami reminded her that they had been through worse on previous occasions, and she insisted they not let one disgruntled spirit ruin all the fun they had had until that moment. Noting that all their supplies were ruined, they were forced to cut their vacation short. Before leaving, however, Korra leaned in and kissed, both stating that it had been a wonderful few days.
While walking through a forest, Korra and Asami discussed when they realized their feelings for each other. Korra told Asami that when the two had gone race car driving together she felt like somebody was able to understand her wild, excited nature. Asami told Korra that the years Korra was gone had been the longest of her life; and Korra told her that after her injury she'd realized her feelings for Asami, but hadn't included it in any letters. When questioned, Korra told Asami that she'd been so confused she hadn't known if what she was feeling was real. As they finished speaking, the same dragon bird spirit who had helped Korra three years prior appeared to give them a lift. Rather than go back to Republic City, Korra asked the spirit to take them to the Southern portal, but wanted to keep it a surprise to Asami. As they arrived, Korra told Asami of her intentions to tell her parents about their relationship; while Asami was initially hesitant, Korra urged her forward. Later on, while having dinner with Tonraq and Senna, Korra and Asami came out about their relationship, and Korra's parents both expressed their happiness for the couple. However, Tonraq subsequently suggested they keep their relationship private when they return to Republic City, which upset Korra. Although Senna reasoned that not everyone would be so accepting, Korra derided her parents as narrow-minded, and agreed with Asami's suggestion to leave.

On their way back, Korra apologized to Asami for her parents' behavior, but to Korra's surprise Asami sympathized with them. She explained to Korra that they were most likely worried about her safety, and this was something she understood because part of her wanted to keep Korra to herself. Korra apologized, realizing she'd accidentally ignored Asami's feelings on talking to her parents. Asami said it was okay, she was just worried that people wouldn't see their relationship as something special and rare like she did. Korra promised Asami that no matter what people said, she was going to protect Asami, and Asami agreed.[58]
Return to Republic City
The dragon eel spirit threatening Wonyong.png
The
dragon eel spirit
appeared and threatened
Wonyong Keum
, much to Korra's surprise.
Upon exiting the spirit portal to Republic City, Korra and Asami walked directly into Jinora and the airbenders arguing with Wonyong Keum, whom Asami identified as a former business associate of her father's. Jinora to the two that Keum intended to build an amusement park around the portal, but Keum insisted that he was simply trying to give every common person a chance to visit the Spirit World. While Korra initially hesitated making a decision, Asami told Keum that the Spirit World was sacred, and people like him should not be allowed to enter it. At the same time, the dragon eel spirit, who previously refused Korra's request to fight Kuvira, asked the Avatar to close the portal to keep the likes of Keum from exploiting it. Korra refused, stating her belief that keeping the portal open would ensure harmony between humans and spirits; the spirit said he could not force her to close the portal, but that he would hold her responsible for the portal's safety. When the spirit left, Keum tried to order everyone off his property, but Korra went into the Avatar State and demanding he leave, effectively scaring Keum away from the cite. She was subsequently assured by Opal that she would not be alone in defending the portal, as the new Air Nation would be assisting her in that task.
Korra and Asami later arrived to the temporary evacuee camp, interrupting Zhu Li's speech to the airbenders and Kya. Warmly welcomed back by everyone, Korra asked Tenzin how things were in the city. Tenzin answered that, thanks to Zhu Li's efforts, they could regulate the relief efforts for the evacuees while President Raiko was being completely preoccupied with his presidential reelection campaign, at the expense of the evacuees. Korra noted that he had never been the most compassionate person toward, and was not surprised at Raiko's lack of action. When Kya interrupted, suggesting that Korra talk to the evacuees to boost their morale, Korra immediately agreed with her. She asked Asami if she wanted to accompany her while giving the speech to the evacuees; however, Asami said she preferred to stay at the tent helping Zhu Li with practical things. Taking offense at this, Korra retorted, but Asami told her that she felt people would want to see the Avatar, not her. Tenzin urged Korra on to meet the crowd and offered to join her.
Korra holds a speech.png
Korra held an inspiring speech to the evacuees and talked about a bright future.
As Korra and Tenzin walked through the camp, soon a huge crowd of evacuees quickly surrounded Korra as she apologized for their living conditions, offering them her service. Several evacuees made requests, making her nervous under the pressure. Tenzin joined her side and suggested they head back; however, Korra was not ready to go back without being able to help. She earthbent a podium, and begun holding a speech, using Tenzin's words about change's capability to be both good and bad toward the evacuees, and that she hoped that the changes brought by Kuvira's invasion would give them a chance to start anew, and promised she would work to get the evacuees new homes. Korra's speech was met with loud cheers from the crowd, and Tenzin and Korra returned to the tent where Asami had started to work on plans for new housing developments. Curious about what she had in mind, Korra joined her and suggested showing the plans to Raiko in order to get money from the city to realize the housing plans; Zhu Li agreed, and said she would set up a meeting for the trio and him.
Korra, Asami and Zhu Li met with Raiko at his campaign headquarters to ask him for funding, but Raiko turned the trio down, and told them that the city was broke. Zhu Li and Asami offered money from Varrick Industries and Future Industries respectively to start the project, upon which Raiko's campaign manager, Wenyan, interfered and attempted convince Raiko to help, explaining to him that this would help his poor reelection ratings, resulting in Raiko's agreement to the plans. As they left, Korra paused to address the spirit portal, and suggested the government buy the land from Wonyong Keum, so they could turn it into a spirit sanctuary. Raiko rejected this idea, repeating that the city was broke and ordered them to leave, making Korra angry, but Asami lead her out of the room, and said that they would find another way to solve the issue.
Kya and Korra.png
Worried about the reaction of the rest of the world, Korra was comforted by
Kya
, who recounted her own "coming out" experience.
Korra and Asami later arrived to Air Temple Island, and stood enjoying the sunset from the gazebo. Kya arrived and complimented the two, noting that they made a good couple, surprising Korra and Asami, as they had not told her about their relationship. She explained to couple that she had had her suspicions ever since Tenzin had told her the two of them had left for their vacation together, as it reminded her of the first romantic getaway she enjoyed with her first girlfriend. Korra told her that she had not known about Kya's romantic preferences, and Kya answered that she preferred to keep it private, and that only her friends and family knew. She asked the two if they had told anyone yet, and Asami answered that Korra's parents knew, although Korra promptly stated that they had seemed worried about the reaction of the rest of the world. Kya told them that it was Water Tribe tradition to keep family matters private, all though most families would not judge their children for coming out. Intrigued, Korra asked how Aang reacted when she came out to him and Kya fondly recalled that her father had been very supportive, she described to the new couple that the Air Nomads were very accepting, and that each nation had their own customs when it came to same-sex couples, and that their story was their own to made public when and if they desired to do so. Upon hearing that many nations were poorly receptive toward same sex couples, Korra told the two that she felt worried she would never be able to enact change, but Asami told her that times were changing, and that people in Republic City were very accepting. The couple's conversation with Kya was interrupted when Bolin and Mako appeared. Kya left the four friends to themselves, though not before letting the young women know that she would be always there for them if they needed advice. Reunited, the four friends caught each other up their lives within the past few weeks, and the Korra and Asami debated whether to share the news of their relationship, before ultimately deciding to do so. However, the moment was cut short when Jinora's spiritual projection appeared, and she informed Team Avatar that the Triple Threats were attacking the airbenders at the spirit portal.
Asami and Korra kiss.png
Korra, relieved that
Asami
had regained consciousness, kissed her.
Team Avatar boarded on a flying bison, and flew to the spirit portal as fast as they could to the spirit portal. Mako told Korra and Asami that the Triple Threat Triads had a new leader, Tokuga, who he had been trying to unsuccessfully catch. As they approached the portal, Korra was ready to attack the triad members; but to her horror, spirits begun emerging from it, angered and ready to attack humans. Korra attempted to reason with the angry dragon eel spirit, and told the spirit that attacking humans would only make things worse. Her attempts to reason with the spirits were unsuccessful, and she flew alongside them on her glider attempting to stop them from attacking somebody. However, as she flew overhead, she saw that Asami had been knocked unconscious by some of the triad members, and immediately dropped and ran toward her girlfriend's defense. She fought off all of the attacking triad members, and held Asami in her arms. As she looked up, she saw the dragon eel spirit attacking Tokuga by flying through his body, to her dismay. As Asami awoke, Korra embraced her with a kiss, viewed by all of her allies in the fight. As the two stood up, they explained what they had been trying to tell Mako and Bolin was that they were a couple. Bolin was excited, and said he looked forward to double dates between him, Opal, and the new couple, and Jinora told the couple she thought the news was wonderful. Mako was shocked and froze, taking time to process the events. Letting his brother take the news in, Bolin wondered why the Triple Threat Triad had been near the portal in the first place. Korra, thinking back on the conflict with Wonyong, replied that she had a feeling who had sent them there.[58]
The morning after the battle at the spirit portal, Korra and some of the airbenders flew to the Spirit World in an attempt to reassure the spirits that she was still on their side. Upon entering the Spirit World, however, the group was shocked to find the realm completely destroyed and empty of spirits. Disappointed by this, Korra was comforted by Tenzin who congratulated her on her new relationship with Asami, saying that he was happy for them.
Concerning the destroyed land around the spirit portal, Jinora remarked that only the spirits were powerful enough to do such a thing to their world. When Kai asked why they would do so, Korra suggested that they had done so to warn humans to stay out of the spirit world. Moments later, Ikki touched one of the wilted plants, despite Korra's attempted warning, which caused thorned vines to sprout from the ground and attack the airbenders. Korra held off the plants with her firebending, before the group managed to flee through the portal on Oogi. Upon their reappearance in Republic City, Korra and the others noticed General Iroh arriving with a detachment of the United Armed Forces to fortify the portal. Fearing that such a thing would anger the spirits further, Korra urged Iroh to withdraw his troops, but the general explained that President Raiko wanted the spirit portal locked down following last night's battle between the airbenders and the Triple Threats, and that it was not his goal to upset the spirits. Upon hearing this, Tenzin requested that Iroh allow the Air Nation to keep watch over the portal, but Iroh replied that he had his orders, and suggested that if him and Korra wanted the United Forces to leave, they should take matters up with Raiko.
Korra and Tenzin left to do so, encountering Raiko at a housing construction being overseen by Asami and Zhu Li, where the president and Wenyan were attempting to curry favor with the refugees. Upon seeing Korra arrive, Wenyan tried to tell her that Raiko was busy and that she should book an appointment if she wanted to speak to him, but Korra responded by bending a scrap of metal over his mouth and walking past him. She and Tenzin urged Raiko to pull back the United Forces from the spirit portal, but Raiko refused. When Korra tried to argue that his actions would cause another spirit crisis, and that this would drastically reduce his election chances, Raiko retorted that the situation had only happened because of Korra's creation of the spirit portal. Korra tried to defend herself on the basis that she had only done so accidentally, while trying to save the city from Kuvira's out of control spirit weapon, but Raiko pointed out that her actions had nevertheless left many people homeless. He then turned to the refugees, informing them of the vacation she had taken while they were trying to recover from what had happened, despite claiming to have their best interests at heart. Korra tried to argue against this, but the refugees had already been turned against her, and Raiko stated that he was once again having to deal with the consequences of her recklessness and selfishness. These remarks bought swift condemnation from Tenzin and Asami, who pointed out that it was Korra's leadership and actions that had stopped Kuvira from taking over the United Republic, but Korra sadly told them not to worry, and that they should leave.
As Korra, Asami, Tenzin and Zhu Li walked towards Asami's office on the construction site, they discussed the possibility of having Zhu Li run for president in the upcoming elections, Korra remarking that it would be good to have a president she could get along with. Tenzin and Zhu Li left to return to the refugee camp, while Korra and Asami entered the office. Inside, Korra told Asami about what had happened to the land around the spirit portal, and lamented about the current situation, feeling that nothing had changed since the couple got together. Asami responded by moving close to her and telling her that one thing had changed; while there would always be problems to deal with, the couple could overcome anything as long as they stuck together. Korra was momentarily overwhelmed by this, but her nervousness won out and she left the office, saying that she knew Asami had a lot of work to be getting on with.
Korra paid another visit to Asami's office the next morning, noticing a number of security guards around who hadn't been there yesterday. When she asked about this, Asami revealed that last night she had been visited by Jargala Omo and the Creeping Crystal Triad, who had attempted to extort her. Furious, Korra offered to go and intimidate Jargala into leaving Asami alone, but Asami urged her to let her handle the situation herself. When Korra insisted that she wanted to help Asami, her girlfriend replied that she didn't need it, prompting Korra to turn away with a cold look. Recognizing her girlfriend's anger at her perceived ingratitude, Asami clarified that she simply didn't want Korra to have to act as the Avatar every time she had a problem, to which Korra replied that she wasn't protective because she was the Avatar, but because she cared about Asami more than anyone, and couldn't bear the thought of anything happening to her. Asami assured her that nothing would happen, and the couple embraced.
After the emotional moment, Asami offered to take Korra on a date that evening, suggesting that they could dine at Fan's Dumplings and perhaps enjoy a ride in a turtle-duck boat afterwards, with Korra happily accepting the offer. Asami failed to show up for the date however, and after Korra was unable to contact her by phone, suspected that something had happened to her. Calling Mako and Bolin, the trio went to Asami's office, discovering that it had been attacked and that Asami was nowhere to be seen. Suspecting that the Creeping Crystals had kidnapped her, Korra led the other two in attacking the Creeping Crystals' hideout and confronting Jargala. The triad leader denied kidnapping Asami, and allowed the trio to search the hideout as proof of this. After they failed to find Asami, Jargala ordered them to leave before she and her gang forced them to, with Korra replying that she would like to see them try.
Discussing the situation, Mako revealed that Wonyong had also gone missing, supposedly kidnapped by the Triple Threats. Korra guessed that the same thing had happened to Asami, moments before Lin called them with the news that Tokuga and the Triple Threats were attacking a police depot containing the tanks, airships and mecha-suits that had been taken after the Earth Empire's attempted invasion of Republic City. Travelling to the depot with the other two to stop the attack, Korra discovered that Tokuga had been mutated by the dragon eel spirit, disfiguring his face and turning his right arm into a tentacle, and that the triad leader blamed her for what had happened to him. Korra explained that she had been trying to stop the spirit from attacking him, but Tokuga replied that she should have tried harder, and warned her that her actions would have consequences. He then revealed that he had kidnapped Wonyong, and forced the developer to work for him.
The members of Team Avatar tried to convince Tokuga to surrender, but Tokuga responded by hinting that he had taken Asami. Enraged, Korra attacked him with a powerful airbending blast, but was briefly overpowered by the mutated triad leader, with Mako and Bolin being subdued by a pair of stolen mecha-suits soon afterwards. After Tokuga demanded that they and the police stand down and allow him and the Triple Threats to leave, Korra stood up and entered the Avatar State, preparing to fight Tokuga and the Triple Threats. Tokuga replied that if she refused to comply with his demands, Asami would die, indicating a captured airship with a chained Asami being held at the point of a fire dagger by one of Tokuga's men. Unwilling to risk Asami's life, Korra exited the Avatar State and allowed the Triple Threats to leave, sadly whispering to herself that this was all her fault. [59]
Legacy
By 174 AG, Republic City Park had been renamed Avatar Korra Park in commemoration of Korra's acts of heroism and a statue of her was erected there as well.[48]
