May. 2nd, 2023 09:07 pmI feel like it explains a lot of Korra's behavior, especially in season 1, to remember she's spent presumably most of her life in that isolated compound. I'd guess she's about 4 in the opening scene of S1E1 where she's discovered as the avatar, and she's 17 when she leaves for Republic City, which makes for about thirteen years she spent there with limited or no contact with people her own age, looking at the same stuff day after day, training, training, training. This would be hard for anyone, but I feel particularly for someone like Korra who is so spirited and curious and eager to try herself in the real world it must have been deeply frustrating at times! Is it any wonder she gets herself into trouble when she's finally out in the world? She has no idea how to behave in a city, or around large groups of people she's unfamiliar with! Of course she gets overly excited and overreacts or makes silly choices! Being in a place like Republic City after having spent so long out in the middle of nowhere would be intoxicating.
