The Newbie



Korra

- from the animated show Legend of Korra, which is the sequel to Avatar: the Last Airbender.
- seventeen.
- is from the Southern Water Tribe, which means she has dark tan skin, dark brown hair, and bright blue eyes.
- is on the taller side of average (probably about five-nine or five-ten) and buff as all get out.
- can read Chinese characters but is completely unfamilar with English.
- is familiar with around a nineteen twenties/steampunky level of tech.
- comes from a world where most animals are mashed-up versions of Earth animals, so that's going to be confusing.
- was raised from ages four to seventeen in a compound at the Southern Pole 'for her own protection'.
- ...had a couple of months long crash course in the 'real world' shortly before coming to Fandom.
- ...but basically has never really had a peer group.
- ...she'd really like one though
- is kind of a boisterous, tomboyish, jock
- ...who just wants to do the right thing
- ...if she can remember to think long enough to figure out what that is

- is the Avatar
- which means she can control the four classical elements (water, earth, fire, air) and is supposed to act as a bridge between the material world and the spirit would
- ...or at least she would if she wasn't a complete failbot at airbending and the spirital side of things
- ...she's really good at the other three elements though
- ...and can totally kick your ass
- she can also heal.

- basically she's superowered, kung fu Jesus.

-...except for one liiiiiittle thing.

- Korra's coming from near the end of the season finale, and, without going into too much spoilery detail, thanks to the show's villain, she's lost all her bending except for her newly unlocked airbending.
- ...since a disturbing amount of her self-image is tied up in being the Avatar and a bender in general, this has not been too great for her emotional well-being.
- will not be forthcoming about the fact she's lost her bending and that she doesn't really consider herself the Avatar anymore, and in fact will be oddly grateful that no one knowing about her world means she doesn't have to lie explain why a Water Tribe girl can airbend.
- ...said psychic/aura reading types would probably be able to tell that Korra's is majorly powerful, and that there's something majorly messed up with it right now.
- just because she's lost most of her bending, that doesn't mean she still can't kick your ass.



- is not coming to Fandom alone.
- is bringing Naga with her
- ...because a polar bear dog is for life, not just Christmas.



Naga

- is Korra's animal guide (Avatars get them, it's a thing), best friend, and tame polar bear dog.
- which as the name might suggest is a mix between a polar bear and a dog.
- Polar bear dogs are massive, fearsome predators native to the South Pole.
- Korra is the first person to ever tame one.



- Naga is essentially a very (very) large, very friendly, intelligent, well-trained dog, who is extremely docile and forebearing with small children (*cough*Weetiny Weekend*cough*).
- also quite inseperable from Korra, unless she's in class or otherwise stated in narrative it can generally be assmued that Naga is somewhere within earshot of Korra, probably sleeping or trying to play tag with squirrels.



- unless of course someone decides to try to hurt her human (or one of her human's pack), then she remembers she's an apex predator.
- ...but really, what are the chances of that happening in Fandom?
