Avatar: Legend of Korra

The Blue Spirit

by ItsaVikingThing

Korra is just an ordinary twenty-something trying to not screw up her new job.Making that tricky is the fact that she's also recently discovered that she's connected to Raava, the spirit of light, and that she has superhuman powers. And ghosts who live in her head and like to pop up and give her advice while she's trying to fight crime.Opal Beifong is a young socialite with a movie star boyfriend and seemingly no cares in the world. Until she gets targeted by an underworld organisation called the Red Lotus...Asami Sato is Opal's friend, and a reporter for the Republic City Chronicle. And she thinks that there might be a connection between the Red Lotus and the mysterious vigilante who has recently become active. She's determined to find the truth about this mysterious vigilante, whatever it takes.
