Profile

Lin Beifong is the daughter of Toph Beifong, who became famous as one of Avatar Aang's most trusted friends. Lin's early years were spent in the shadow of their accomplishments, most especially the effort of Aang and Fire Lord Zuko to bring peace to the world and create a republic of nations after the Hundred Year War.

As an adult, Lin proved to be a formidable Metal-bender, and she eventually became the Chief of Republic City's Metalbending Police Force. Turf battles among rival criminal groups were a common problem, along with the other sorts of crime found in any major city. But the arrival of Avatar Korra brought a whole other level of crisis. While Lin was skeptical of Korra when they first met, they became allies in the face of the threat posed to Republic City by Amon and the Equalists. Before that threat was resolved, Lin would lose her bending ability in an act of heroic sacrifice, though fortunately, the power of the Avatar would restore it in the end.

Tenzin and Lin have.... a complicated past. With lots of uncomfortable-making parts! While neither of them are about to talk details with anyone else, there was clearly some major disagreement that led to their breakup, and those were there at the time don't seem inclined to talk about it either.

Also Pema still belongs in jail. For....something. There's got to be some good reason.

Lin is often forced to be annoyed. Because of all the annoying things that keep happening where she can see them. Especially the things that can't be fixed by kick-ass metalbending.

Metal-bending is a refinement of Earth-bending, and like her mother, Lin has the ability to use "seismic sight" and to manipulate earth in all kinds of ways. She is a very difficult person to imprison!

She is also fearless in a fight, ready to leap into the thick of the enemy at a moment's notice, and quite ready to sacrifice herself on behalf of justice.

But she's still annoyed a lot.
