I imagine that Jinora and Ikki were really excited to have Korra move in with them on Air Temple Island at first (way back in Season 1). Another girl to hang out with! an older girl! You can tell they’re excited! But after a few weeks I bet they were all like “All she does is work out all the time! She’s always soooo sweaty!”

I like that you defined her muscles. Most boys I know think that girls lifting weights/gaining muscle definition is gross, but I think it is a very good thing and with Korra, fitting.
I definitely feel that Korra should be noticeably muscled and a bit thick. And short. She’s a strong, athletic woman. Even without her bending she would be kicking ass, and while you don’t necessarily need that kind of frame to be a fighter, I feel like Korra is the kind of fighter that relies on muscle as much as grace and agility.
I don’t know about most boys YOU know, but there are a LOT who admire her strong look.
I remember right when the series started, and the early fanart started appearing. One commenters was already complaining “why did you draw her with muscles! Korra’s not an Olympic athlete!”
My response: “What show were YOU watching? Go watch episode 1 again, specifically the end, where she PICKS UP Tenzin, AND his three kids all at once in a bear hug!”
Super-fit Korra is CANON Korra! ^_^ Haters can go watch Sailor Moon for twig-legs in mini-skirts!
Seriously.
I agree with SaraMuzik. Many draw her as a girl with big boobs but she’s more than that! That’s why I loved “Venom of the Red Lotus”, it was more true to the original muscled design.
Yeah. Big breasts are fine too, and I’ve seen version of Korra with that kind of build that work. She is a bit busty after all. But I tend to think of her as athletic and muscled.
Dem abs, doe…
Honestly, women aren’t usually that toned, even the ones that work out a lot :-
I was basing her abs off a specific woman who artists often use as a model for Korra.
Korra could bend electricity !
