She was an independent woman. 'xcuse me, is an independent woman.
She (claims) that she doesn't need a man (while looking at a firebender who just so happens to be hotter than hot, pun intended).
He could ground her. Remind her she actually isn't all that and a bowl of soup. He could, with his unsettling lack of smiles (but by God, she's going to get one out of him if it kills her), remind her that she's human. That she will fail sometimes and that on occasion we must surrender.
She, for all his stoic manliness, serves as his reminder that there is hope. That there can be silver lining the clouds.
Maybe, Korra and Mako will be good for each other.
Ikki and Jinora (shippers on deck) seem to think so.
