* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She's loud, abrasive, and has no shame getting into burping contests with one of her best friends to name a few Tomboy elements. However whenever [[SheCleansUpNicely she puts on a nice dress for a formal party or ball she can look quite elegant and stunning]]. And since she never seems embarrassed by being seen in public in a dress she may just like it, too.

** This is Korra's entire character arc in the first season. She is incredibly proud of her bending skills and defines her entire life by her role as the Avatar, so she starts off [[ArrogantKungFuGuy confident and sure of herself to the point of arrogance]], with a [[LeeroyJenkins knack for jumping into situations without thinking things through]], which is the absolute worst thing you can do against a MagnificentBastard like [[TheChessmaster Amon]]. In "The Voice in the Night". The idea of having her bending taken from her is so terrifying that she is afraid to fight back until her bravado forces her to try. Amon just made it worse by easily capturing her and taunting her about how he's saving her for last. Throughout the entire first season, his actions destroy her confidence in herself [[spoiler:until he finally [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes fulfills her worst fear]]: [[BroughtDownToNormal taking away her ability to bend all the elements she's mastered]], which to her was '''everything''' that mattered. Giving up her pride allowed her to connect with her spiritual side and master airbending, the Avatar State, get her bending back, and top it off by becoming a sort of ResetButton for everyone else whom Amon had previously {{DePower}}ed.]]

** During the series finale, she sports one [[spoiler: after Asami tricks Tenzin into leaving them alone.]]

** In a physical sense, Aang is a short, bald-headed, fair-skinned, lithe and has light skin tone; slender young boy; Korra is a taller (at least comparatively when Aang started in the series), long-haired, brown-skinned and muscular young woman. 

* TheLadette: Korra, despite having a fairly feminine appearance, is definitely a Lad-ette. She loves fighting and engages in burping contests with gusto. It's probably best demonstrated when she goes out to dinner with Bolin and they engage in a Burping Contest that she wins.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: * While Korra] is the {{Reincarnation}} of Aang, and are thus technically the same person in some sense, Korra was designed to be Aang's complete opposite. Her While both share a good sense of humor, lots of compassion for strangers, and a certain impulsiveness, her official bio even says she couldn't have less in common with Aang if she tried.
** Aang [[RefusalOfTheCall didn't want to be the Avatar Avatar]] and spent much of the series coming to terms with that identity; Korra [[JumpedAtTheCall quickly embraced the role role]] and struggles with learning ''not'' to be defined by it.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: While she is the reincarnation of Aang, and are thus technically the same person in some sense, Korra was designed to be Aang's complete opposite. Her official bio even says she couldn't have less in common with Aang if she tried.
** Aang didn't want to be the Avatar and spent much of the series coming to terms with that identity; Korra quickly embraced the role and struggles with learning ''not'' to be defined by it.

** Aang was deeply spiritual and his pacifistic views as an Air Nomad was his main conflict during his show's finale, as he struggled with the idea of taking Ozai's life. Korra on the other hand is always ready for a fight and has no qualms about killing if she must, but she struggles with her spiritual side at first and has to learn to be more in tune with the spirit world.
** Aang only had eyes for Katara from the moment they met; Korra juggles several suitors and love interests.

** Aang started off as a child while Korra starts off as a teenager.

** In a physical sense, Aang is lithe, bald, and has light skin tone; Korra is taller (at least comparatively when Aang started in the series), is muscular, and has a darker skintone.

* YourMindMakesItReal: [[spoiler:She hallucinates an image of herself in the Avatar state, but the hallucination attacks her and causes real injuries, even when it's not superimposed on an actual person.]]

* PassionateSportsGirl: Korra loves "[[FictionalSport Pro-Bending]]" so much that she [[JumpedAtTheCall joined a pro-bending team]] when the opportunity to do so presented itself. She’s also excited to get Toph’s grandsons, Wei and Wing, to teach her how to play their metalbending game when she learns how to do it.
