SUMMARY : In a town where fairy tales collide with reality, a new kind of awakening is about to occur. Storybrooke is no stranger to the extraordinary, but the arrival of a young woman haunted by visions of a past she can't quite grasp will shatter the fragile peace.
Hidden beneath her surface lies a power unlike any they've encountered ━ a force that echoes the ancient balance of the elements. As her abilities ignite, so does a long forgotten war as Korra must learn to wield not only her powers, but her emotions.
Eventually, a woman aged twenty-eight years destined to awaken the cursed town arrives in Storybrooke. Together, they must unravel the mysteries that bind them and confront the darkness that seeks to destroy their happy endings, all the while confront their own feelings for each other.
ADDITIONAL NOTES : ━ Korra was originally the Avatar, reborn into the world after a cataclysmic event where she lost herself in the Spirit World. She washed up on the shores of Storybrooke as a teenage girl (16), her memories fragmented and powers dormant due to the curse.
━ Korra has a strong, athletic build, reflecting her bending training. Her eyes are a deep brown, which sometimes glow faintly when using her bending abilities. Her hair is dark brown, almost black hair, and is usually pulled back into a practical ponytail or a braid. On a rare occasion, she might wear it down. She has an intricate water tribe tattoo on her left bicep, partially obscured by a burn scar. Korra favors practical clothing — leather jackets over tunics, sturdy pants, and boots — a blend of Storybrooke style and elements reminiscent of Water Tribe attire.
━ As for her personality, Korra is initially brash, impulsive, and fiercely independent, a trait from both her previous life and now in Storybrooke. She is deeply loyal and protective of her friends and family. Korra sruggles with self-doubt and the weight of expectations, particularly as they relate to her past life and the immense power she wields. She has a dry, sarcastic sense of humor, often used as a defense mechanism. Most of all, she is determined to do what is right, even when it's difficult.
━ Upon arriving in Storybrooke, Regina Mills found her and, seeing a potential weapon in her dormant power, took her in and fostered her for a time. While Regina told herself that Korra was nothing but power, a weapon, she couldn't help but care for Korra like a younger sister.
━ Korra always felt like an outsider in Storybrooke. Regina ensured she was both provided for and isolated, manipulating Korra to spend time with her over anyone else in town. And Korra, eternally grateful for everything Regina had done for her, remained loyal to the woman, unaware of her manipulative nature.
━ Eventually, when she was old enough to live on her own, Korra moved out. Regina helped her find a good apartment in town, and secured her a job at the Mayor's office. Later, Regina would adopt Henry, and Korra would often babysit whenever Regina needed her to. She adored Henry. He would eventually call her Aunt Korra when he was older.
━ When Emma Swan arrives in Storybrooke, Korra feels an immediate connection to her, much to Regina's dismay. This will cause some tension between Korra and Regina.
━ Everything that happens throughout season one will make Korra realize how controlling and manipulative Regina has always been over her life, and everyone else in town. Emma and Henry will help her get away from the toxic relationship she has with Regina. But it will hurt Korra to push Regina away, because she does love Regina, and has always seen her as an older sister figure in her life after everything she has done to provide for her.
━ With Emma's presence, Korra's memories begin to return, unlocking her abilities but also triggering intense emotional turmoil. They will fully return once Emma breaks the curse but, like Graham, she'll start remembering her past life earlier than everyone else in town.
━ Korra struggles to reconcile her past life as the Avatar with her present identity and the conflicting emotions she feels toward Regina, who she realizes had manipulated her to keep her close, intending to use her power as the Avatar for own personal gain.
━ Her abilities include: • Waterbending — Her primary element, mastered to a high degree. • Earthbending — Proficient, but still needs practice. • Firebending — Learning to control it, but has a volatile relationship with the element. • Airbending — The most difficult for her to grasp, representing her internal struggle to find balance and peace. • Energybending — Potential to unlock this powerful ability, but fears the consequences. • Partial Spirit Sight — Can sense shifts and disturbances in the Spirit World, even in Storybrooke.
━ Korra's motivations: • To understand her past and fully regain her memories and abilities. • To protect Storybrooke and its inhabitants from emerging threats, both magical and spiritual. • To find her place in this new world and create a life for herself, free from the burdens of her previous destiny. • To reconcile with Regina and understand the complex relationship they share.
