Bryan Konietzko later confirmed that Book Two would have 14 episodes, followed by Books Three and Four, each one with 13 episodes. As of October , voice work was being carried out for the third and fourth books, the actors having to alternate between the story lines of both seasons.
During the production of Book Four, the show's budget was cut by the near equivalent of a full episode. To avoid having to fire crew members several weeks early, the creators opted to make the book's eighth episode, " Remembrances ", a flashback episode with a minimum amount of new content. Dee Bradley Baker returned to voice Korra 's animal companion. In the initial announcement of Legend of Korra in July , there was no mention of the voice casting for the show. For the next seven months, such information was only disseminated by some members of the cast themselves.
In an interview in August , Dee Bradley Baker , the voice of Momo and Appa on Avatar: The Last Airbender , confirmed that he would be returning to voice another creature and a character, and that his daughters auditioned for a flashback scene to play five-year old Korra, and one of them received the part. Jeremy Zuckerman of the Track Team said that he would "absolutely" return to compose the music for the show during a panel at Comic-Con They described it as "s New Orleans jazz but if it were invented in China" at the Comic-Con.
Copies of this promotional poster were distributed at the San Diego Comic-Con. After the original announcement in July yielded only one promotional image, that of Korra overlooking what was tentatively named "Republic City", there was high demand for additional promotional material. After almost eight months of little official information, a piece of concept art showing the face of the main character was revealed for the first time on March 6, In February , Korra Nation was created as an online fan club and source of new information for The Legend of Korra -related material.
Users are entered into draws for prizes once they have gained a certain amount of points. It was through Korra Nation that updated character sketches and episode clips were released to the public. In an interview with the Track Team, it was disclosed that the fifth and sixth episodes will include pro-bending matches. After garnering a certain number of likes and shares, the first two episodes were posted on Korra Nation during the weekend of March 24, The site recently revealed that the online shop at Nickelodeon has released several The Legend of Korra products.

Los Angeles Times. Retrieved on March 21, Dark Horse Comics January 25, Retrieved on January 28, Korra Nation on Tumblr March 23, 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. Korra discovered a lone polar bear pup in the South Pole 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 discouraging her from bending the other elements until she mastered waterbending. 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. 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, [12] while Korra demonstrated a prodigious talent in the arts of waterbending, earthbending, and firebending during her training sessions at the Southern Water Tribe compound.
By AG, at the age of seventeen, Korra had mastered all the elements except 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 through 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.
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. To unwind, she joined the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team and befriended her teammates, brothers Mako and Bolin.
When Bolin got kidnapped by the Equalists, Korra helped his brother 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.
Regardless, she joined Councilman Tarrlok 's task force. Korra fought Equalists on top of the Pro-bending Arena. 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, [18] 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.
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 to live with her on the island. 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.
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. Subdued by bloodbending , Korra lost her bending to Amon. 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. 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 , [24] 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. Aang restored Korra's bending and gave her the ability to restore that of others.
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. After the Anti-bending Revolution , Korra extensively used energybending to restore the bending of the innocent benders Amon victimized with his bloodbending [25] and trained with Tenzin to perfect her skill in airbending achieving the status as a fully realized Avatar. 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.
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. 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. In an attempt to free her father, Korra confronted Judge Hotah and learned that the entire trial and Tonraq's initial banishment 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.
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. 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 , though the attack of the spirit had infected her Avatar Spirit, leaving her without her memory.
It was with Jinora's help, however, that she managed to cross over, [34] 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. Once inside the Spirit World , Korra tried to close the Southern 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. She did not manage to close them in time, however, and Vaatu managed to escape at the start of the celestial event.
Korra reached inside Vaatu for the reborn Raava. With the fate of the world at stake, Korra engaged Unalaq in battle. She was overpowered by him, however, and he extracted Raava out of her and destroyed the Light Spirit, effectively severing Korra's connection to all her past lives. During the fight, she 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. Distracted by her mission, UnaVaatu took advantage of the unguarded moment to trap Korra's soul with spiritbending.
As 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 using spiritbending herself to purify UnaVaatu, dissipating him in the process. Upon her return to the physical world, Korra declared the Water Tribe Civil War over and the South an independent nation with Tonraq as its chief. She also announced that both spirit portals would remain open, ushering in a new era in which humans and spirits coexisted.
Korra was confronted by Hundun , an enemy that 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. 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 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 her banishment 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.
Korra and Tenzin held off the Dai Li along with the imprisoned airbenders as they prepared to escape. 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 join them. 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.
Korra and Naga were sedated by the shirshu-spit darts. 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. 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.
Korra met and talked to Zaheer in Xai Bau's Grove , who told her about his group and their plan. 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.
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. Korra and Asami were captured by the Earth Queen 's forces. 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 [44] and threatened to do the same with the airbenders at the Northern Air Temple lest Korra surrendered herself to them.
Their forces were strengthened by Suyin and her security force, and 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.
When she woke up, Korra found herself suspended in chains in an underground prison hold and was administered poison through pores in 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 Zaheer. 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. 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 businesswoman 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. After another sleepless night, Korra agreed to her mother 's request to visit Katara.
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. 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.
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 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 not to 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. 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.
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. More Amazon News ». View all Streaming Sites. More Movie News ». More FS Movie News ».
