The Legend of Korra is a follow-up series to Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Last Airbender initially aired on children’s television channel Nickelodeon and is now available for online streaming on Netflix. The sequel aired four years after the first part ended its run. Even though the story of The Legend of Korra will be different from the first one, there are quite a few characters from the previous installment who have featured in both the series.
Avatar: The Last Airbender had a run of three seasons and aired from February 2005 to July 2008. The animated series was set in a world where a few people could manipulate the elements of earth, fire, water, and air. This was done through the Chinese martial arts technique known as bending.
The story revolved around a boy named Aang, the current avatar who could bend all four elements and has the responsibility to maintain a sense of peace and harmony between the world’s four nations. Aang is also the last survivor belonging from Air Nomads along with his friends who have a goal of ending the Fire Nation’s war against the other nations of the world.
The Legend of Korra is set 70 years after the events of Avatar: The Last Airbender. So, here are characters from the first installment you will see in the follow-up.
Katara
Katara is the wife of Aang, the Airbender from Avatar: The Last Airbender. Since she appeared in The Legend of Korra, it is evident she survived. Aang and Katara have three children- Bumi, Kya, and Tenzin. Her survival into old age made it clear to the viewers that she is one of the surviving members of Team Avatar while the other two were Zuko and Toph.
Katara is the only character to teach the technique of bending to two different avatars. The first one was Aang. The second one was Aang’s reincarnation Korra, born in the southern water tribe. She mentored the latest avatar in water bending. Although, at the start of the series Korra has mastered the art of bending fire, earth, and water.
Aang
Aang was the avatar who could bend the elements of earth, water, fire and air in Avatar: The Last Airbender. Since Korra is his reincarnation, it is safe to say that he died before the events of The Legend of Korra. The scenes switching between past and present showed a grown version of Aang along with other members of the team. There was a spiritual connection between Aang and Korra because he was a predecessor, and that gave way for him to come in the form of a spirit and guide her.
Zuko
Born into the Fire Nation Royal Family, Zuko was a member of The Avatar team. He became the fire lord and the master. Bruce Davison voices the character. The character’s left side of the face has a prominent scar that was inflicted on him by his father, Fire Lord Ozai, shortly before banishing him. Zuko is also a member of Team Avatar.

The original series, Avatar: The Last Airbender sets up the mythology while the sequel basically portrays the challenges that old traditions present to relatively modern society.
There is also a greater emphasis on reforms that alter the course of the Avatar world.
The legend of Korra does an excellent job of creating quite an ambitious show with a strong storyline, and they deserve all the credit they get.
But Korra’s legacy will undoubtedly pale in comparison to that of Aang’s since she has had to follow up on the legacy of arguably the most astonishing Avatar to have ever lived.
She has successfully made a name for herself by taking courageous decisions that challenge the status quo.
The only thing that makes the story seem lacking in some ways is because of the considerable time gap between Korra and Aang’s time which could have been avoided by creating a second series between the two existing ones.The world of Aang was entangled with so many traditional and cultural norms that it feels too old.
