Korra (The Legend of Korra)

Korra is the current incarnation of the Avatar and immediate successor of Aang. She originates from the Avatar: The Last Airbender spin-off, "The Legend of Korra".

Why She Rocks

 * 1) She is the perfect, strong and independent female lead.
 * 2) She was able to pull through the poisoning and trauma Zaheer put her through for years.
 * 3) Very noticeable character development. She started out as a hot-headed and selfish little girl, but turned into a responsible woman who makes use of her duties as Avatar at the end of the series.
 * 4) She is a skilled fighter and an excellent bender. She was able to master water, fire and earth when she was only three, something Aang wishes he could have been able to do.
 * 5) She shows pride and compassion for her friends.
 * 6) She is able to successfully connect with the spirit world, showing that she can keep calm despite her fiery nature.
 * 7) Once she gained back her memories, she now knows how to keep patient.
 * 8) She was created to be bisexual, which is uncommon in kids shows.
 * 9) Janet Varney gives an excellent vocal performance.
 * 10) She can be funny at times.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) She can still get too hot-headed and cocky for her own good.
 * 2) She was a bit of a spoiled brat in the first season.
 * 3) She can be very careless, and not just in battle.
 * 4) She got herself stuck in a painful love triangle.
 * 5) She has poor chemistry with Mako, but thankfully she broke up with him.

Trivia

 * The creators could not find a name that they agreed on that followed the tradition of the Water Tribe names, but when they were staying in an eco-lodge, the owner introduced them to his dog Cora. The creators agreed on the name, and with a spelling tweak, it fit into the established culture.
 * Coincidentally, the actress who provided the voice of four-year-old Korra is also named Cora.
