Kuvira
Kuvira is a fictional character and a character in The Legend of Korra, sequel series to Avatar: The Last Airbender, created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. She is voiced by Zelda Williams.
For the main antagonist of the fourth season of The Legend of Korra, DiMartino and Konietzko wanted a female antagonist since the previous three (Amon, Unalaq and Zaheer) were all male. They also wanted an earthbender be the main antagonist for the final season; waterbending had already been done with Amon & Unalaq, airbending with Zaheer, and firebending with Ozai in the previous show. Kuvira was purposely designed to be similar in height, build and personality traits to series protagonist Korra, causing Korra to have to deal with "overcoming a version of her past self."
Kuvira was abandoned by her parents and taken in by Suyin Beifong when she was eight years old. Beifong nurtured her talents and they developed a close relationship, Kuvira picking up Suyin's progressive ideology of modernization and self-fulfillment. Kuvira gradually rose through the ranks of Zaofu's security team and became captain of the city's guard, also being a part of Suyin's dance troupe. Kuvira makes sporadic appearances throughout the third season of the show, although she is never referred to by name until the season's penultimate episode. She attacked Zaheer while he was attempting to kidnap Korra, being joined by other members of the Metal Clan in trapping him and his associates before they left Korra and escaped, Kuvira afterward unsuccessfully searching the city for them. After being questioned by Aiwei and he being revealed to be in cahoots with Zaheer, Kuvira searched for him under direction from Lin Beifong. After the Red Lotus took the airbenders captive at Northern Air Temple, Kuvira traveled there in an attempt to free them. Being double-crossed into letting Avatar Korra be taken captive by Zaheer in exchange for the airbenders to be freed, Kuvira was attacked by P'Li and saved Korra's father Tonraq, tending to his injuries as well.
Kuvira becomes the main antagonist of the show during its fourth season, where she is initially the interim ruler of the Earth Kingdom, tasked with restoring order to the land following the chaos brought about by the Earth Queen's death in the previous season. While she genuinely wishes to help the Earth Kingdom, Kuvira is shown or implied to have committed a number of tyrannical actions for the sake of her goal; she refuses to help impoverished states unless they provide her with large amounts of natural resources, uses her citizens as slave labour, imprisons dissenters and people of non-Earth Kingdom descent in concentration camps, and conscripts people into her armed forces.
