Kyoshi
Males may seem to dominate, but in the end it is always the females who prevail.
Consider the case of the Dai Li and their female counterparts, the Kyoshi Warriors. I created one league; the other was established in my legacy. In many ways they were alike in terms of stealth, efficiency, and status amongst the citizens of their respective societies.
But there was a major difference between the two forces; one that cost the former group.
The men of the Dai Li were willing to sacrifice their entire nation to follow a woman who promised power. Said woman – a girl, actually, broke them with a few curt glances and menacing words.
My warriors, on the other hand, refused to ally themselves to the same princess. Defeated, imprisoned, tortured, they still adamantly refused to allow themselves to beg for mercy.
That was what defined them.
Now, the Dai Li consists of thieves and robbers. My warriors? They prosper. They remain strong, although they may be weaker physically.
You see, men may believe themselves invincible, but it is the women who defeat them.
