Shortly after I finished my last drawing of Old Korra in Seven Havens, this idea popped into my head, and I couldn't wait to draw it up. In a way, this is my response to all the doom and gloom that's surrounded the Korra fandom ever since Seven Havens was first announced. Even though the setup definitely makes it seem like Korra's in for another rough go of it, I trust the creators and know things will work out for her in the end.

Despite the simple concept, I had a pretty tough time with this one. I still struggle a little with drawing kids, since I'm used to only really working with adult proportions, so Pavi was a real challenge to get right. As you can see from the WIP shots I included, I also ended up completely cutting the third panel. In the end, I feel the comic flows better without it. We also don't really know what Old Korra looks like from the shoulders down yet, so I had to fill in some gaps. I kept it simple and went with a combination of her Book 4 and Book 1 designs.

Korra has reached Avatar Auntie status!

This is wonderful. It looks great. Awesomesauce.

I'm Pavi here fr! I'm cautiously optimistic it's going to be okay for Korra. I don't think they'd character assassinate Korra like that. That'd be actually crazy! Despite media-illiterates talking shit about her, Korra is still very much a beloved character in the franchise!

I just watched the trailer and I'm... scared. I suspect this is going to be like Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, where history is completely off-base. And I'm not forgetting how the Avatar was seen in some of the first series episodes. But Korra has become very dear to my heart, so I hate seeing her looking menacing. Thank you for the art. It definitely helps.

Agreed! The whole thing really feels to me like a meta-commentary on the fanbase's treatment of the character, and doubles as a lesson about propaganda and misinformation. A lot of people are gonna find themselves with egg on their faces when all is said and done (although some of them probably won't have the self-awareness to realize it).

Kowachi

You're welcome! I definitely feel like the trailer is hinting that we're just seeing "history" as it's being told by misinformed characters, while Pavi and co. find out the truth and vindicate Korra in the end.

omg... Pavi supporting her previous incarnation, our belowed hero Korra.... its soo beautiful and i want to see that so much. i'll see myself out for cry. but also... that white in Korra's hair. why they had to make her suffer so much :( if only the crazy original show events wasn't enough. the girl could use some rest and happiness.

Kowachi

Thank you! And about Korra's hair, I'm pretty sure the grey is just from normal aging, not stress/trauma. She looks to be in her 50-60s when we see her in the trailer

Pavi will redeem Korra’s name. I believe Pavi will save the world.

Pavi gives Korra some well deserved love and kindness. ❤️🥹

Very cute! Although I do think your rough draft of the third panel was alright.

Kowachi

Thank you! I was pretty happy with how panel 3 came out, too, but felt like the comic worked better without it in the end.
