Lin was instrumental in helping defeat the Equalist army, and obligated herself to be Korra's personal bodyguard afterward. Meanwhile, the free-spirited Suyin went her own way and explored the world and all its wonders.īoth sisters are vital allies to Korra, just as their mother greatly aided Korra's predecessor. Lin, the elder, took after her police chief mother to impress her and carry on the family work. She had two daughters, each with a different father: Lin, and Suyin. Toph Beifong was a creative Earthbender that truly understood her art, single-handedly inventing Metalbending. This is one of the clearest inter-generational connections between the old and new Team Avatars.
Korra runs afoul of them after dispensing some vigilante justice on the streets, and tries in vain to appeal to Lin's parentage and Korra's own past life as Avatar Aang. One of the first major characters introduced in The Legend of Korra is Lin Beifong, the chief of Republic City's metal bender police force.
