Korra is a young female Waterbender native to the Southern Water Tribe, as Water succeeds Air in the Avatar Cycle. Korra has already mastered Waterbending, Earthbending, and Firebending, but has yet to master Airbending. She will learn Airbending from Aang and Katara's son, Tenzin, an Airbending Master. Unlike the previous series, Avatar: The Legend of Korra is primarily rooted in only one region. This location is Republic City, a steam-punk style metropolis where people of all nations, benders and non-benders, live together. The city is ridden with rapant crime and is rattled by an anti-bender revolt, which serve as challenges for the characters in the show.
