It\u2019s so good, it\u2019s as though she\u2019s bended her way out of the TV screen and into real life. Released in 2012, The Legend of Korra continues the story of the Avatar, and sees the successor \u2013 a 17-year-old girl from the Southern Water Tribe \u2013 learning to restore peace and balance in a now-modernized world. While Aang was still alive, he created a sovereign state called Republic City where benders and non-benders can live in harmony. Though it grew into chaos after his passing. The series has won awards for its themes surrounding terrorism, race, sexual orientation, and social issues, and boasts a fanbase just as vocal as its predecessor\u2019s \u2013 which includes cosplayers. One such fan decided to become Korra with a getup that\u2019s a dead ringer for the character, and it\u2019s brilliant. Amazing Avatar Korra cosplay Cosplayer \u2018leiracosplays\u2018 is the genius behind the incredible work. Not only does she make an uncanny Korra, she\u2019s also shared outfits based on popular characters from The Last Airbender such as Azula and Ty Lee. In her latest take, she nails the protagonist\u2019s casual pose from the show, while dressed in her signature Water Tribe getup. It consists of a high-collared blue sleeveless shirt with navy pants and a brown skirt of sorts. Leira even included the arm and wrist wraps that the heroine wears, finishing off the look with an accurate hairstyle complete with the blue pieces that frame the sides of her face, and stunning contact lenses that make the eyes pop. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDMY_RsDngb\/ To bring the costume to life, the artist also posted a video of her in the cosplay while lipsyncing along to an argument between Korra and Tahno. In Book One, she joins the Future Industries Fire Ferrets as a pro bender, and is pitted up against the White Falls Wolfbats. \u201cYou know, if you\u2019d like to learn how a real pro bends, I could give you some private lessons,\u201d he says, as Leira raises her eyebrows fiercely. \u201cYou want to go toe-to-toe with me, pretty boy?\u201d she mouths, before the sound of the heroine\u2019s polar bear dog Naga comes crashing into the scene to Tahno\u2019s horror. https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDNVhyxDO1A\/ If this has given you the urge to watch The Legend of Korra, then you\u2019re in luck. Netflix announced it\u2019s going to be joining Avatar on the platform on August 14th. The streaming service is also making a live action version of The Last Airbender.
