Character Name: Kuvira Canon Name: Legend of Korra Brief History: A young girl abandoned by her family and taken in by the ruler of a walled city of innovation and achievement. Ten years later and she's a star dancer and its guard-captain, and chafes to leave the city to help the rest of the country, though that is forbidden. She leads parts of the city into leaving and pacifies a city overrun by bandits and looters, and over the next three years does the same to the whole country. In that time the young woman is dubbed the Great Uniter, and although she fights with her people's interests in mind, she comes out of balance as she becomes more prideful and cruel. She is redeemed in the end.
AU Ideas: Steel-type Enlightened kid born in Refuge, though she doesn't know where it is or what it was called, with foolish parents who left with her and then later abandoned her in the wilderness. Their Gardevoir stayed with her and she was taken into Caldera, and there brought up by a wealthy influential Enlightened perfectionist.
This Kuvira worked just as hard as in canon for her approval, and participated in the war with Gigas, if more from the sidelines than the thick of the fighting. Union's intervention was very exciting, but her mentor forbade her to leave. In time Kuvira disregarded this and left anyway.
Unlike canon she has no followers with her, unless you count a sheltered Talts, and is less seasoned, forceful, and charismatic in general. She also has far vaguer goals than in canon, relating to wanting to help people who are cornered, like Union did. And to become stronger, of course! Looking For: People she might know!
Kuivra's patron or mentor in Caldera sponsors or is otherwise affiliated with various people who show promise. Especially if they've screwed up in the past! Any old affiliates would be welcome. Suyin is usually supportive but can be controlling if someone isn't doing the kinds of things she wants.
There's a dramatic moment during a battle in canon. Someone falls off a cliff and is thought dead, but Kuivra catches him and later tends his wounds. I'd love someone she could have saved like that, or otherwise met in the field!
Finally, I guess someone from out of Caldera who could have encouraged her, directly or just by existing and talking about it, to leave. That would be cool! Anything else?: I don't know what I'm doing! :D
