This plot bunny has been hopping around for a bit so I decided to share it! With Korra being so far away from home, she has to let mom and dad know how she's doing some how! This is also kind of giving her retrospect and voice to certain events. The first few letters will match up with the series, but after that, it's at the mercy of my headcanon! ;) Enjoy and R&R

Dear Mom and Dad,
I've made it to Republic City!
The second I got off that boat, I knew this is where I had to be, where I belonged in the next part of my journey. But it was a little overwhelming at first. Naga was a bit spooked with all the Satomobiles and loud horns and not having a single yuan to my name didn't help in getting around!
Would you believe that the streets here are wide and long as far as the eye can see and that's STILL not enough room for all the people and Satomobiles this city has? You guys have to see this for yourself!
Before I go on, I want to tell you this before you hear it from anyone else and they blow it out of proportion, but I may have gotten into a teensie bit of trouble with the local police. Nothing major really, just helping a citizen that was being harassed by thugs. I will admit that my bending did get a little out of control and I was doing my duty as the Avatar in helping that poor old man but I guess Chief Lin Bei Fong didn't see it that way. Which brings me to my next point…
The next time you see Katara, tell her that Lin isn't the same 'sweet little girl' she talks about when mentioning the old days. Something tells me that Lin hasn't been 'sweet' for a really long time!
The city is even more beautiful at night! The way every single light reflects and sparkles in the bay, the smells from restaurants serving authentic food from every nation, and jazz music playing from every corner! Jazz sounds so much better in person and I think I'm going to ask Tenzin if he'll let me have a radio to keep in my room.
Speaking of Tenzin, he agreed and let me stay in Republic City to train, on Air Temple Island none the less! Can you believe it? It's such an honor that I get to stay with him and his family! I promise I won't disappoint and I'll make every moment count!
If I could learn my first three elements before I even went to formal schooling, I'm sure airbending will be a piece of cake, especially with a master like Tenzin around.
I miss you both already but I know I'll make you proud! I promise I'll try to write as often as I can and keep you updated on what I'm up to. I have a feeling great things are going to happen here in Republic City!
Until next time!
With love,
Korra
