Update:
I’ve been working on some stuff the past few days regarding worldbuilding and Team Avatar, so here’s some info!
I added two characters to Team Avatar, originally they were going to be more of side characters—but I made some major changes to Rea’s backstory, which gave me the opportunity to make these characters more important.
Prologue + Chapter 1 are plotted out, they should be written soon!
We’re doing some behind-the-scenes work currently on a mini comic about how Avatar Korra lived so long— featuring Korra, Asami, and Jinora as the main characters.
Updated character bios for Team Avatar will also be on the way : ) Though the art should be a while, since the stylus pen I ordered recently’s order got cancelled.
*Disclaimer: this is a fan-based project about the Avatar after Korra. Most of the content posted on this tumblr account and on our instagram, @thelegendofrea is not canon. This project is not affiliated with Bryke or Avatar Studios!*

Time for some Fun Facts!!!
(These are just general, I’m currently delaying the adults’ incorrect quotes because I need to create characters for some of them still oops)
Out of her non-native elements, Rea struggles the most with firebending, but the element that takes her the longest to learn is actually earthbending. Similarly to Kyoshi, she took longer to learn her native element. Her mom taught her earthbending ever since she was a kid, but it took a while for her to get good at it.
Sun-hi’s name was originally Jingfei
In the earliest drafts of the story, Rea and Mayumi’s personalities were basically swapped.
Book 2 contains a LOT of She-Ra parallels
The only reason I made Korra live so long was so that I didn’t have to include any LOK characters in my story, I had already created so many characters (major and minor) that took their places as bending teachers and such, and I thought that it would be an interesting obstacle for Rea to overcome (having to learn about Korra’s life through research rather than family and friends’ stories)
There is a secret branch of the White Lotus, which currently has 4 members. However, this branch is later replaced with an entirely different group, this time made up of 5 people.
The Dai Li have changed their purpose and uniforms now. The traditional wear became too much a telltale sign of them, so they went for more incognito ways to identifying agents in public and on missions— small things, like jewelry made from the crystals in the caves, or black coats with buttons shaped like the Earth Kingdom’s old money (from Aang’s time).
The Red Lotus attempted to make a comeback after many years of silence and hiding, about a year before Avatar Korra’s death. The new crew ultimately failed, but this did weaken Korra in her old age.
One time, Bolin forced Korra, Mako, Asami, Ikki, and more people to star in a mover with him (Titled “Attack of the Melonlord”). It was meant to be a more comedic view of Avatar Aang’s journey, like the Ember Island play. They only agreed because Varrick paid well.
Ginger (the girl Bolin acted with) and Tahno (the arrogant waterbending pro-bender) actually ended up getting married. Why? No other reason than the fact that this pairing should not exist. Quite the match made in hell.
Eska’s eyeliner style becomes very popular over time, especially during the popular phase of the punk band “Metalbender” (led by Huan Beifong).
About 10 years after LOK’s ending, Jinora and Tenzin journey to the Si Wong desert, where they explore the ruins of Wan Shi Tong’s spirit library (with some help from a few sandbenders). They recover lost of ancient documents, about anything from the building of the Nations to past Avatars.
One of Rea’s Team Avatar members invents a new form of bending in Book 2!
The last person to see Avatar Korra before her death was her great-great-great granddaughter, Imala Sato.

Happy Father’s Day!!!
To celebrate, here’s some info about the only good dads in the story and their family dynamic— Tarkik’s dads, Tiguaak and Aput.
As you may or may not know, Tarkik is Team Avatar’s waterbender and healer! He’s the Prince of the Northern Water Tribe, so along with information about their family, you’ll get some updates on water tribe culture.
Their family consists of Tiguaak, Aput, Tarkik, and Dyani. The parents are Tiguaak and Aput, and their children are Tarkik and Dyani.
Tiguaak means “the adopted child” in Inuit. He was adopted by the previous tribal leaders (Chief Arnaq and her husband Panuk) as a kid, and so he decided to adopt two kids when he grew up.
There will be a sub-plot in Book 4 where Tarkik, Dyani, and a friend of theirs from the Northern Water Tribe seek out information about their biological parents, which leads to a… quite shocking discovery.
Dyani is 12 years old, while Tarkik is 17.
Tiguaak is a nonbender, and Aput is a waterbender.
Tarkik is a waterbender, while Dyani is a firebender.
As Kya II mentioned in the Legend of Korra comics, the Water Tribes’ cultures tend to be open to LGBTQ+ individuals— but prefer that people keep their identities to themselves. This still generally applies, although Korra, Eska, and Desna tried to help make society more open-minded. As a result of this, some Northern Tribe citizens are critical of Chief Tiguaak and his family due to him being a proud and openly gay man, and his son being a demiboy (partially identifying with the male identity, but also partially not). The Southern Tribe as a whole tends to be more welcoming towards LGBTQ+ people, but their current Chief is unfortunately homophobic and transphobic, which causes a lot of political disruption.
The Northern Tribe gave a name to its capital (Yuèliàng) after Princess Yue some time during Eska and Desna’s rule. This roughly translates to “moon” in Chinese (correct me if I’m wrong!)
The White Lotus formed because the Princess of the Northern Water Tribe ran away, and this took place during Avatar Yangchen’s lifetime. (The White Lotus’ origin will be explained in the story, and will be especially important in the plot of Book 4!)
The Southern Water Tribe is an important port for transportation of products. During Korra and Asami’s lifetime, several Future Industries factories were built in the South Pole. Of course, they only let ones with clean energy sources be built near the poles, as not to cause pollution issues.
The Northern Tribe has an airport called the Jingshen Airport, and the Southern Tribe has an airport called the Bingshan Airport. Jingshen roughly translates to spirits, while Bingshan roughly translates to iceberg (it was named in memory of Avatar Aang).

Meet Rayen Sato, Asami and Korra’s adopted daughter. She was adopted when she was young, maybe two or three. She has Earth Kingdom and Water Tribe heritage, but she grew up surrounded by cultures from all four nations. She can be a little pushy and nosy, but longs to feel like she has a family, since it’s been just her and Asami for most of her life, since Korra died when she was still young. She’s the team’s resident nonbender and engineer, often providing them with the latest tech from Future Industries.

-
Tarkik: So, Sun-hi is no longer allowed to take the trash out at night.

Sun-hi, arms crossed and pouting: You'll be thanking me when the third raccoon battalion saves your ass.
-
Rea: Guys, I didn’t memorize my lines!
Sun-hi: Just use your lack of common sense! Everyone knows the characters in plays are dumb as fuck!
*During the play*
Rui Lee: Hey! You finally made it! Did you get the donuts?
Rea: W-what’re donuts?
-

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to announce that I decided to make a Tumblr account for the story, and I’ll be making daily posts (at least 1 a day), about the story (characters, places, bending, pop culture, etc).
I was originally planning on making these posts on Instagram, but since I’m terrible at making posts look good and trying to keep a consistent feed, most of the updates will be made on here and posted to the Instagram story of our Instagram account.
I’ll be putting the link to the Tumblr account and Google form (for team applications/helping out) into a Linktree.
Feel free to ask any questions about the story on here or on the Instagram account, I’ll answer them if I have an answer!
