The Lost Scrolls: Earth, page 93 of The Lost Scrolls Collection. The story of Lin's father. Lin Beifong is the Chief of Police of the Republic City Police Department, the daughter of Toph Beifong and Kanto, and the older maternal half sister of Suyin Beifong. As Tenzin became enraged about the Wolfbats' blatant disregard of the rules, Lin became amused, claiming that she did not think he would know the rules of pro-bending. Lin initially held a grudge against Tenzin over their breakup several years earlier, but agreed to “bury the hatchet” in their effort to secure a sporting event from a terrorist group, the Equalists. Lin handcuffed Kuvira after she surrendered and led her away with Suyin, so the Earth Empire commander could be held responsible for her actions. The Avatar left, but not before proclaiming that the metalbender would never change and would always be a lonely and bitter woman, making Lin bury her face in her hands and cry while alone.[6]. She ordered her men to secure President Raiko and call for backup immediately. The next day, the Chief attended a press conference during which Korra made her first public appearance as the Avatar in Republic City. She dismissed Suyin's suggestion of an ambush attack from the air because P'Li would pick them off one by one. Claiming she had not vented completely, Lin bent the stairs and prepared to attack again, but both siblings found their weapons blown away by an angry Opal, who demanded to know why they wanted to hurt each other.

Although Suyin insisted that she only drove the getaway car as a favor, Lin remained unconvinced and threatened her as she began to walk away from the scene. When the vines grew back stronger than before, Lin, aided by Bolin, jumped to action and bent an earth pillar to stop a building from collapsing, giving Korra the time to get every inhabitant out safely. Lin was asked if they could move on, perhaps even living with her family and joining her dance troupe as co-director, she slowed her sister down, simply proposing she just did not show up at her house and attack again. She advised Opal to train with the other airbenders away from home, which Opal ultimately did. "Bitter Work". After the Equalist attack, Lin received negative press for failing to capture Amon. Despite her gruff and indifferent exterior, Lin has a softer facet to her personality. He inquired about Korra's whereabouts, telling her that if she complied, he would not remove her bending. She has also shown considerable skill in aim, as she was able to snap Tarrlok's gavel from across a large room with one of her metal cables without touching him with the cable.

[36] Before the reveal of Kanto, the character's father was a source of great intrigue for a number of fans of the show. Arriving at the factory, they all sneaked in and when Toph used her seismic sense to deduce Suyin and her family were being kept in a cavern underneath the factory, as she could sense the mecha tanks, Lin verified her claim, confirming the presence of soldiers guarding a seemingly empty cavern. Despite losing her bending, Lin accompanied Team Avatar throughout Amon's conquest. She would eventually meet her future husband Baatar, an architect, and settled down. Suyin revealed to Team Avatar that she was Lin's sister, upon which Lin reminded her that she was her half-sister. She came across a boy crying in an alleyway, the two began to go a bond that day. Sometime in 142 AG, Lin intercepted a getaway car from a robbery. The next day, Lin was paid a visit by President Raiko, who grilled her over the bombing and threatened to replace her if she failed to apprehend the culprits soon. Korra stated any effort would be in vain because Zaheer would wipe out the airbenders upon sighting the team, instead simply suggesting to the group she turn herself over to save the Air Nation. bisexual lin beifong Summary Power, love, trust, and a sexual awakening; four things an 18-year-old Lin Beifong isn’t expecting to find when her mom convinces her to come to Ember Island again with Aang, Katara, and Lord Zuko and their families, like when they were kids. [9][10], In Season Two, Lin returned to Republic City, reinstated as Chief of Police. As she had not spoken with Toph for twenty years, Lin had a lot of unresolved issues with her mother, specifically in regards to the identity of her father. Upon returning to Suyin's estate, Lin attempted to attack her half-sister with an earthquake. All Toph said on the matter is that he was a nice man, but it didn’t work out. Later that day, Lin watched together with Bolin as Korra attempted to remove the spirit vines from a building by using spiritbending. At dinner, Lin made flippant responses to Suyin's delight at having five children, believing it to be a nightmare, and countered her half-sister's remark of it being a blessing by saying that their mother said as such, but never really meant it. Moments later, Lin witnessed how Kuvira blew up the Future Industries factory where Avatar Korra, Suyin, and their allies were located. His Name was Kanto. Much to her surprise, she found her plan rejected as useless by her mother, who remarked that all the prisoners had been moved. gains airbending. Born to Toph Beifong and Kanto two decades after the Hundred Year War, Lin inherited the earthbending prowess of her mother and eventually mastered the art and two of its sub-skills, metalbending and seismic sense. After Suyin told the rest of their allies about Zaheer's ability to fly, Lin told a skeptical Bolin that she would not believe it if she had not seen it herself. [1] In 154 AG, Lin and Toph ceased communicating with each other and never spoke again until twenty years later. [8], When the news about the fifth robbery of one of Varrick Global Industries' ships reached Republic City, Lin questioned the captain of the ship in hopes of finding a lead to the culprits. She denied the Avatar's request for them to go after Tokuga, as he was threatening to turn the neighborhood to rubble if they moved in. I speak, of course, of Lin Beifong. The metalbenders promptly swarmed in and surrounded Zaheer; Lin telling him to release Korra. They were roughly thrown against the metal wall, however, as Kuvira ripped the now useless arm off the suit and tossed it away; Lin saved Suyin and herself from being flung free by bending the interior wall around them to strap them in, though was rendered unconscious by the shock caused when the arm crashed into a building. Infuriated even more by that comment, Lin snapped at her mother that growing up without a father and never even discussing him weighed heavily on her. Following a lead from the Triple Threat Triad, Lin conducted a search of Mako's apartment which led to the firebender's arrest. While Suyin left to battle Kuvira one-on-one, Lin and the twins erected a protective barrier around them. Amused, she commented that he got off easy compared to her break up with Tenzin.

Meanwhile, Mako and Bolin entered the factory and attempted to carry Korra, Tenzin, and Lin to the surface; however, Hiroshi soon discovered them and prepared to attack the brothers.

We only know of Lin’s father. After they recovered, Lin and Suyin made their way to the Spirit Wilds, which had been blasted open when Kuvira had fired the spirit energy cannon from within the vegetation and now housed a new spirit portal. The group reunited in a forest away from the temple with Kai having helped saved Mako, Bolin, Asami, and Tenzin; Lin asked how they made it out alive, to which Mako told them about Bolin's newfound lavabending abilities and Kai's rescue. However, the half-siblings were forced to take cover behind a large rock due to P'Li's continuous strikes. Once inside, Lin and Suyin inflicted major damage. Affiliation Councilman Tarrlok even proposed in a press conference that she be replaced as the Chief of Police. Lin angrily replied that growing up without a father and never seeing or even discussing him was unacceptable to her. Lin persuaded the United Republic Council to keep the Pro-bending Arena open. When Kai suggested he try and go after Zaheer, Lin told him he would have no chance because he was too powerful. Shortly after she and many others attended the wedding and reception party of Varrick and Zhu Li, Lin smiling as the newlyweds kissed.[23]. The two exchanged some conversation during the match as the Wolfbats won a controversial victory, mostly after Korra won her tie-breaker match with Tahno. Lin and Mako manipulated Two Toed Ping into revealing Tokuga's name and plans. Before the sisters could get to verbal blows, they were interrupted by Varrick, who had taken refuge in Zaofu. Not making any progress, Mako approached her and suggested to trick Ping by telling him he had been identified by another triad member as the mastermind of the earlier fight. As such, while standing atop a building and working together with Suyin and Bolin, Lin severed the top stories of a large building and toppled it on Kuvira's mecha suit. Image gallery (109) At one point when they were younger, the two characters were romantically involved. Lin used her seismic sense to scan for Aiwei's presence, but was ultimately unable to find him. After Toph added that their family had already been moved to a prison camp and Bolin pinpointed its location to be that of a nearby factory and reeducation facility, they all boarded Juicy and moved out. Lin has a longstanding friendship with Tenzin, who is a son of Aang and Katara. Although Mako denied the allegations, Lin stated she was obligated to follow up on the lead. She also laughed off Suyin saying she made some mistakes in childhood and refused to believe she changed just because her sister had "a big, fancy house and a chef who cooked [her] fancy food", saying she could see right through her. lin-beifong. She accompanied Team Avatar to Varrick's cell, where they learned of his battleship, the Zhu Li, which he provided for them to use in traveling to the South. #toph #lin #avatar #atla #lin's dad. [14], In Season Three, Lin spent a significant amount of time outside Republic City. Lin would lose her bending at the hands of Amon, who had the ability to take away bending, but would have it later restored by Korra. They rendered the suit's primary weapon, a large cannon mounted on its right arm, useless. Pema arrived shortly afterward and handed her Meelo, stating that he needed a wash, much to Lin's displeasure. When Toph acknowledged that she had not been the best mother, though was nonetheless proud of the women her daughters had become, hoping they could find it in their hearts to not hate her, Lin accepted her words and embraced her mother. Lin arrived in Ba Sing Se to notify Team Avatar that Zaheer and the Red Lotus had escaped. Suyin would still travel the world and get into adventures, included time on a pirate ship, roaming with a traveling circus, and embracing a sand-bending clan. Lin wanted to know how they got in, but her half-sibling had no idea. Her father was an Equalist sympathizer. This only made Lin lash out at her half-sister, telling her that while she was trying to keep the Avatar safe, Suyin was harboring a criminal. Once they were far away from Ba Sing Se, Lin joined Team Avatar in searching for more airbenders while Tenzin, Jinora, and Bumi took the airbenders to the Northern Air Temple.[9]. [12] A few days later, Lin traveled to Mako's apartment to investigate incriminating evidence in connection with the bombing of the cultural center. After Tenzin arrived, Lin stayed with his family and before the airbender had to leave for an important Council meeting, he asked Lin to look after his wife and children, to which she agreed. Due to Toph's childhood being one of constant restriction, she gave Lin and her half-sister, Suyin, much more freedom, though she did not divulge to them their respective fathers' identities, an issue that would bother Lin for much of her life. During the dinner party, Lin stood by herself on the side and took one of the offered food sticks, though eyed it warily.[33]. Lin later read Bolin's report on the Triple Threats' attack on the spirit portal, expressing surprise at Korra and Asami's relationship and asking Bolin to improve his penmanship. The suspects proved to be Suyin's friends, who were members of the Terra Triad. While the group was able to fend off Sato, he and the Equalists eventually overpowered the benders and rendered them unconscious. When Mako interrupted said meeting, bringing news about the bombing, she snapped at him, ordering him to give the evidence he found to Lu and Gang, the officers in charge of the bombing case. It was confirmed by the creators that Lin did not want to have children and that this difference of opinion with Tenzin hurt their relationship. Lin and Suyin reunited in Zaofu after thirty years.

To escape, Lin cut two of the ropes suspending the prison and grabbed a hold of Suyin, pulling her out of the way of a flamethrower attack and letting the entire structure swing toward the other side of the chasm. She watched in surprise when the spirits emerged a few moments later from the spirit portal, followed by Korra and Kuvira. Before the argument escalated they were interrupted by Varrick, who was out of prison and resided in Zaofu. Like her mother, Lin is able to both manipulate the classical element of earth, which is known as earthbending and its sub-ability to manipulate metal, which is termed metalbending. She later received intelligence that Cabbage Corp had manufactured the Equalist weaponry, so the Metalbending Police Force proceeded to shut down the company and arrest the owner. After the captives were released from their bonds, Lin helped them get out of the cave, focusing especially on a substantially weakened Bumi and Kya, as Bolin, Mako, and Tonraq went to rescue Korra. Hearing that Opal did not want to upset her mom, Lin sympathized, explaining that her joining with the Metalbending Police Force and becoming chief were to please Toph, but it did not. Let's explore the validity of this theory and if it could have actually happened. Reviewer Gina Luttrell characterized Lin as "psychotic" for relating to Korra after the latter violently expressed her outrage with Mako during their initial break-up. However, Lin and her men were not able to find any substantial evidence to incriminate Sato. Upon awakening from her final session, she disregarded the doctor's suggestion to rest, deciding instead to confront Suyin. 27. Back at the station, Lin questioned Two Toed Ping about the identity of the Triple Threats' new leader but quickly grew tired of his stubborn silence. When Kuvira ripped the now functionless arm off and violently tossed it away, Lin and Suyin were trapped in the appendage. [10], Lin later encountered Korra again at a party hosted by Councilman Tarrlok, where she remained unimpressed with the Avatar, stating that Korra had done absolutely nothing to deserve the city's praise.[11]. With the assistance of Toph and Bolin, Lin managed to free Suyin and her family. As Bolin asked Toph who Lin's father was, Lin shot him a deadly look. She could also sense the mechanism of a locked door without physically perceiving it in order to open it with her bending. The trio was able to avoid capture, but Lin elected to tender her resignation. Suyin objected, but Lin told her sibling she loved her before unilaterally initiating the plan. [17] Later, Lin would be involved in a large-scale clash with the Red Lotus, an anarchist group. Lin, the elder, took after her police chief mother to impress her and carry on the family work. Relationships Upon Suyin's agreement, the siblings shook hands and Lin smiled at her. En route to the factory, Lin specified to Bolin that her mother's mention of a "little while now, couple years" since she had seen Lin was in fact twenty years. Despite maximum-level security, the Equalists were able to disrupt the event, overwhelming the police forces.
