Maybe this is where the slave route will shine? Knock her down a few pegs?
To be fair she grew up as an entitled young woman who didn't have to worry about basic human things, like food, water, free training from masters of their particular element by the white lotus. Etc. However just as it was a benefit to her; it also stunted her growth as a human being. Outside of wanting to be the Avatar, she has no other skills or talents to wish to be anything else. Her entire character orbits around wanting to be the Avatar, because she heard great stories of those before her and she wants to be remembered in the same way. Which is human nature and I am ok with this because personally I was very annoyed with Aang in alot of instances, especially with how the original series boiled it down to this. Suck up your personal opinions and do your duty as the Avatar.(I loved how Yangchen worded her response as it was sooo fitting and felt like the proper kick in the butt Aang needed, but the writers chickened out. Grrrr.)
In my opinion it makes Korra more relatable and realistic than Aang, because at least with Korra we actually saw her deal with situations that Aang never did in the original series. We see her rise, her fall from grace, we see her run away because she didn't realize the responsibility and weight of being the Avatar. Not to mention alot of her enemies took away key aspects of who she is as a person. An they were ALL threats in their own unique ways.
Amon stole her bending, Unalaq stole her past lives, Zaheer stole her confidence and her ability to move and Kuvira stole her pride.
I brought this all up to say that her villains challenged her mentally and physically. Yes, she started out as a teenager with a chip on her shoulder, feeling that the universe owes her everything. But as she progressed and moved through life, she found that reality was certainly not the case. She had to work hard to earn the respect of her peers and she did not have it easy. I am looking forward to what the creators of this game have in store for us because so far they have no failed to hit to mark, I love the story and its been a blast to enjoy. An the comedy is freaking gold I tell you! Gold!
