Line 9:
Tenzin is an Airbending half-Air Nomad/half-Water Tribesman, and Aang and Katara's youngest son. He is a councilman representing the Air Nomads for the United Republic; following the events of [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] (now a misnomer) said culture now consists of him and his family, and the Air Acolytes, a group of non-airbenders who have chosen to dedicate themselves to the continuation of Air Nomad traditions. Seeing as he is the only living master Airbender in the world following Aang's passing, he becomes Korra's airbending teacher.
----
* [[Ambadassador]]: Tenzin works as a member of the United Republic Council, representing the Air Nomads. He is also an Airbending master.
* [[Authority Equals Asskicking]]: The world's only master Airbender is not just a mere title. {{spoiler|He lasts the longest against Sato's [[Mini-Mecha]], and for a while was the only one standing.}}
* [[Badass Beard]]
Line 16:
* [[Badass Long Robe]]
* [[Bald of Awesome]]
* [[Berserk Button]]:
** Do ''not'' invoke his parents in an argument.
** In a more serious manner, harming the people he loves (such as Lin and Korra).
* [[Big Good]]: In a sense, given that the Avatar is still in training.
* [[Big Ol' Eyebrows]]
Line 25:
* [[Childhood Friend Romance]]: A failed one with Lin Beifong.
* [[The Comically Serious]]: Frequently has these moments, particularly in his interactions with Korra and his children.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Tenzin's Sky Bison's name is "Oogi", which is the term of disgust Sokka used whenever he saw Aang and Katara being [[Sickeningly Sweethearts|affectionate]] in ''[[Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise]]''.
* [[Dramatic Wind]]: He's often accompanied by gusts of wind that make his cloak wave dramatically. Unsurprising, considering the element he controls.
* [[Elemental Eye Colors]]: An airbender with [[Grey Eyes]].
Line 35:
* [[Named After Somebody Famous]]: He's named after the fourteenth and current Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
** [[Odd Name Out]]: His siblings are named after Katara's mother and Aang's old friend. His name only fits with Aang's teacher, Gyatso, at a meta level.
* [["No Respect" Guy]]: A mild version. He's quite wise, but neither the Council, Korra, or Lin tend to listen to him very often.
* [[Not So Above It All]]: He gets this in spades.
** Denounces pro-bending as "a mockery of the noble tradition of bending", but later on ends up cheering for Korra in an uncharacteristically enthusiastic manner during one of her matches, not unlike how his father would. Played with, though, in that he may have been cheering her successful [[Die or Fly]] moment. By episode 6 he's yelling at the referee for ignoring the Wolfbat's blatant fouls. When Lin comments on this, surprised that he even knows what constitutes a foul, he says he's been reading up on the rules since Korra joined the Fire Ferrets, apparently taking a greater interest in the sport than he'd like to admit.
Line 46:
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Among the Council, he's the only one who realizes that that Tarrlok is untrustworthy and that his actions are causing far more harm then good. Unfortunately, his attempts to stop him are consistently outvoted.
* [[Opening Narration]]: Like his mother did in the original series, he provides ''The Legend of Korra'''s opening narration.
* [[Parental Substitute]]: While Korra's parents are still alive, they're still in the South Pole. Tenzin seems to be like an [[Honorary Uncle]], and treats Korra much more warmly than all of the other authority figures (who either think she's a nuisance, or manipulate her). Korra also eats at the family table rather than with the air acolytes, suggesting a closer relationship than merely master/student.
* [[Power Tattoo]]
* [[Reasonable Authority Figure]]: Also the most socially ''responsible'' authority figure on the Council; despite representing at most a few dozen people, out of any of the Council members he's the one with most respect for the unrepresented non-benders and their rights. Indeed, he's the only one to speak up in favor or defense of them.
* [[Spin Offspring]]: The first official interracial child shown in the Avatar franchise. (Though certainly not the last.)
* [[The Stoic]]: Tries his best to be, but Korra and the plot often have [[Not So Stoic|other plans]].
* [[Stroke the Beard]]: Uncle Sokka would approve.
* [[Strong Family Resemblance]]: In a half-lucid moment, Korra mistakes him for Aang (having just experienced a vision of Aang and his friends while unconscious).
Line 69:
----
* [[Advice Backfire]]: She should really be bit more careful when giving advice to Korra.
* [[Death Glare]]: So far, Tenzin was the only recipient.
* [[Happily Married]]: To Tenzin.
* [[Love Triangle]]: She was in one with Tenzin and Lin pre-series. In the story proper she gives Korra advice on how to deal with her own.
* [[May-December Romance]]: She is 16 years her husband's junior.
* [[Muggles|Muggle]]: Unlike her husband or their children, she's a non-bender.
Line 120:
* [[Motor Mouth]]: Is she ''ever''.
* [[No Indoor Voice]]
* [[Odango Hair]]
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: For Mako and Korra.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Jinora. Personality-wise, they're about as opposite as can be.
* [[Spin Offspring]]: Aang and Katara's granddaughter.
Line 132:
{{quote|Voiced by Kiernan Shipka}}
Jinora is Tenzin and Pema's older daughter. More reserved than her siblings, shown to be a polite little bookworm. However, under her sweet exterior she is still playful and hides a witty tongue.
----
* [[Blow You Away]]
Line 138:
* [[Brown Eyes]]: She's by far the most down-to-earth of Tenzin's children.
* [[Creepy Child]]: Every now and then. Her idea of romance is particularly off-the-wall (it involves mass murder, followed by suicide).
* [[Cute Bookworm]]: She has read about her Gran-Gran's [[Avatar: The Last Airbender|adventures]], mentions reading a historical saga, and is shown reading at the dinner table.
* [[Freudian Trio]]: Superego.
* [[Genre Savvy]]: She knows she's going to become a [[Bratty Teenage Daughter|difficult teen]] and has gracefully accepted it.
Line 148:
* [[Odango Hair]]: A one-sided version.
* [[Shipper on Deck]]: Like her sister, Mako and Korra.
* [[Sibling Yin-Yang]]: With Ikki.
* [[Spin Offspring]]: Aang and Katara's granddaughter.
* [[Thinks Like a Romance Novel]]: Though the romance in question seems to be more along the lines of ''[[Romance of the Three Kingdoms]]''.
Line 155:
