This is only a list of the

Momo - means ‘peach’ in Japanese. Named thus by Aang since he ate one.
Aunt Wu - ‘Wu’ means witch in Chinese
Kuei - Kuei means puppet in Chinese, and the Last Emperor is also known as the ‘Puppet Emperor’
Bumi - Bumi means earth in Indonesian
Ran and Shaw - the dragons are named ’ 燃烧 to combust, Ran - 燃 to burn
Shaw -烧 to roast ’ in Chinese.Jeong Jeong - jiong jiong - jiong means fire in Chinese
Zhao - Zhao is a common family name in Chinese, it can also mean ‘to set afire’.
(a lot of the FN names can be translated as fire/fire related)
Piandao - 騙到 to trick, dao can also mean knife/sword 刀
Tenzin Gyatso - is the name of the current Dalai Lama

THEY KNOW KORRA’S PARENTS’ NAMES, IT MUST BE LEGIT.
why is kya’s hair white? :O I bet it’s because Aang had that spirit water in him.
It’s because she’s OLD. Tenzin is the youngest, and he’s at LEAST 45…so she’s probably in her mid-sixties! And this is amazinggggggg!!! How was Bumi a non-bender? lol

Avatar Aang and your mother were friends and they saved the world together.

KORRA!!!!!
“Lightning is a pure expression of Firebending, without aggression. It is not fueled by rage or emotion the way other Firebending is. Some call lightning the cold-blooded fire.”
