The narrative follows Avatar Korra, a headstrong, rebellious, and feisty young woman who continually challenges and breaks with tradition. As she embarks on her quest to become a fully realized Avatar, she struggles to find balance within herself and between tradition and modernity. Beyond her personal growth, Korra fights to keep Republic City safe from the evil forces of both the physical and spiritual worlds. The voice cast for the series includes Janet Varney, P.J. Byrne, David Faustino, and Jeff Bennett. The show is distinct from other media sharing the title legend, such as the 1985 film directed by Ridley Scott or various unrelated digital media projects.
