Mako is the crown prince of a kingdom. His brother, Bolin, has a fiancé but Mako has not found his love yet. Each year his guardian Tenzin holds a ball and this year, Korra, attends. She lives with and works for her stepmother and stepsisters but she wants to do something more with her life. It's love at first sight, until Korra runs away only leaving a shoe...

All Korra wanted was to fight, but as a girl - even as the Avatar - that world is closed to her. Refusing to accept her lot in life, she dresses as a boy to join the Fire Ferrets pro-bending team, and finds out that while being a boy might free her somewhat, she also runs into some unexpected problems...especially concerning her love life.
