Who is Avatar Korra?

After Avatar Aang had passed, the avatar’s spirit had incarnated into Korra who became the new avatar. She was born to the Southern Water Tribe which made waterbending her respective element. At a young age she had already mastered waterbending as well as earth and fire bending though she struggled with airbending.

What makes Avatar Korra different from the past avatar’s was that she born at a time where technological advancements were being made so as the avatar she had to learn to incorporate both technology and the elements into her fighting. While other female avatar’s had already existed, it was through Legend of Korra that we could see in detail how Korra became a full fledged avatar.
