"Avatar" is an animated series about the adventures of an avatar - a special magician who can control all the elements. The first part is dedicated to the boy Aang and his friends. In the second, a new, strongest magician appears - Korra, who also helps not only her friends, but also mentors, experienced allies. One of these avatar allies is Lin Beifong.
Short description
Lin Beifong is the eldest daughter of Tof Beifong, who was a teacher of the avatar Aang. She served as the chief of police of the Republican city. Lin also invented special coils with metal cables that helped to catch troublemakers and move around the city faster.
Lin is a magician of earth and metal, which already speaks of the firmness and determination of her character. The eldest daughter Tof considers it her main duty to ensure the safety of residents. Lin Beifong is a tough and principled person who believes that it is discipline and military forces that can ensure a quiet existence.
But also the chief of police is a sensitive person and a devoted friend, always ready to help. Lin Beifong also took care of her subordinates. In addition to magical abilities, she is strong and hardy, which makes her one of the most powerful allies of the avatar.
Relations with relatives
Ling Beifong's father is Kanto, but his daughter has never seen. As you know from Toph, he was a good man, but their relationship did not work out. Lin's mother was Toph, the most powerful land magician and avatar teacher Aang. The older character was very similar to Toph - the same strong and strong-willed personality.
Ling Beifong had a twin sister, Suin, with whom she had a difficult relationship. Girls from early childhood fought for the attention of their mother. Ling always tried to maintain order, while Suin was rebellious in nature, which caused frequent quarrels. Although they had common features: for example, both possessed sensitivity, they were always ready to help their relatives and friends.
Lin and Suin did not maintain communication for a long time because they were offended by each other. Over time, the sisters reconciled and began to help each other. In the fourth part, Lin Bayfong meets with her mother. During this meeting, she gives her everything she thinks about her. But then Lin repents of her temper and asks her for forgiveness. So mother and daughter restore good relations.
Personal life
Lin Bayfong once met with air mage Tenzin. But after he confessed to Pem's love, they parted. Beifong was furious and even nearly destroyed the temple of air magic. Therefore, they had a tense relationship with Tenzin, although they respected each other. But then both are reconciled, and Tenzin even asks her to take care of his family.
Relationships with Avatar
It should be noted that Lin Bayfong did not immediately find a common language with Corra. She immediately let the girl know that, unlike the others, her stellar status does not impress her. Although Korra and Lin are similar: they are both determined and courageous, ready to do anything for the sake of their near and dear ones.
Lin perceives Korra as a spoiled, eccentric girl who is irresponsible in her duties as an avatar. But then the police chief changes his mind and helps Korra. They get along pretty well, and Korra even tried to reconcile her with Swine. Tenzin told the girl that she was very similar to Lin in her youth. Lin Beifong also got along well with the adult avatar Aang.
Lin Beifong is one of the most difficult characters in The Legend of Korra. Although she loves order and always strives to follow the rules in everything, Beifong will do anything to help those who are dear to her. Behind all its outward rudeness and rigidity lies a kind and sensitive person. Lin Befong manages to let go of resentment and restore relations with his family.
