[Mayfield] Korra from The Legend of Korra

[ugottadealwithit]

1.] Park
[Korra is sitting on a bench, alone, looking as if the weight of the world was crushing her form. Her eyes are diverted to the ground, and her lips are curled into the most unpleasant frown. Looks like she could use an ear. Care to let her vent?]

2.] On the Streets
[What appears to be the combination of a dog and a polar bear is heading towards you. Atop its broad and powerful shoulders sits our budding heroine, Korra. The Polar Bear-Dog has its nose close to the ground, sniffing out a fresh trail.]

"What is it Naga? Smell somethin' funny?"

[The young girl looks over to you as the creature pads closer in your direction. Perhaps it was following your scent all along?]

3.] In Her Backyard
[A makeshift stage has been erected at Korra's residence. Several vintage folding-screens have been placed on old broom handles and pulleys, allowing the screens to spin with the slightest breeze. Korra stands before the stages of twenty or so screens with a determined look on her face.

Summoning a gust of air, Korra channels the elements towards the stage, causing the screens to spin and shift like wild tops. Without hesitation, she dashes for the stage.. Only to be knocked side to side as if she had run out onto the ice in the middle of a hockey game. Coming out the other side, battered and bruised, she hits the dirt with a grunt.

Care to comment on her air-bending training?]

You seem to be carrying a big box of rocks, hon.

[ The woman is standing a few feet away from the bench. ]

[The young girl comes to and turns towards the voice. Stumbling on words, she's able to cough up a few words before she could come off as rude.]

"I'm sorry? Is that some kinda' earth-bending joke?"

[ooeeooahah]

Not that I know of... could be a rude suggestion, somewhere. But where I come from it means you look like someone with a load of trouble on their mind.

[ She smiles. ] Need someone to help carry it?

[Bringing her feet up onto the bench, she pulled her knees into her chest and dropped her head down. She was still audible from bunching up into her folded arms.]

"There's only one Avatar where I come from.."

[ooeeooahah]

Hm, that sounds like a very difficult job.

[ The woman sits on the opposite side of the bench. ]

One is one and all alone and evermore shall be so...

[ It almost sounds like a ritual chant. ]

[Korra raises an eyebrow, shooting the strange woman a glance of curiosity.]

"I.. I beg your pardon, Miss..?"

It's an old folk song. One that the guardians in my world have to remind them that even though there is but one at the focus, there are others who are there to support them.

[ She smiles gently. ] Not just the working circle, either.
