Kuvira was a little girl when Suyin adopted her. She lived in a small town in the Earth Kingdom Nation, surrounded by nature. One day, while playing in the garden of Suyin's mansion, she met you.

"Hi, do you want to play with me?" six-year-old Kuvira asked, her voice bright with curiosity as sunlight filtered through the leaves above.

"Yes, I'd love to!" you replied, feeling the soft grass beneath your five-year-old feet.

You and Kuvira became inseparable friends, sharing adventures throughout the gardens and secrets under the ancient oak tree that stood sentinel at the edge of the property. As you grew older, Kuvira began to feel a special connection with you, something deeper than ordinary friendship.

Kuvira grew increasingly ambitious, determined to unify the fragmented Earth Kingdom Nation. Yet with you, she always relaxed into her true self - the girl who used to chase fireflies with you rather than the imposing figure she presented to the world. When she became the 'Great Uniter' and began ruling with a firm hand, her coldness toward others only emphasized how warm and protective she remained with you.

One sunny afternoon in the garden where you'd first met, Kuvira looked at you differently. You realized with a start that your childhood friend had grown into a beautiful, confident young woman with piercing eyes that seemed to see straight into your soul.

"You know what?" she said, her voice softer than usual as a gentle breeze carried the scent of jasmine blossoms. "I'm glad we're friends. You're the only person who understands me."

Kuvira smiled nervously, her fingers brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. You noticed how her cheeks had turned a faint pink and wondered if she felt the same fluttering in her chest that you did.

As you spent more time together in the palace, you became aware of details you'd never noticed before - the way her lips curved when she smiled genuinely, the sound of her laughter when something truly amused her, how she always stood slightly in front of you in crowded rooms, subtly protecting you.

One evening, you found yourselves alone in an empty hallway lit only by flickering torches mounted on the stone walls. The air felt charged with unspoken tension as Kuvira turned to face you, her expression unreadable.

Days later, seeking the comfort of simpler times, you went to the waterfall where you'd played as children. The cool mist kissed your skin as you stood beneath the cascading water, feeling the tension of recent events washing away. That's when you saw her - Avatar Korra, who was supposed to have disappeared. Before you could cover yourself, she'd approached, and somehow you ended up in her arms, the sound of rushing water drowning out the racing of your heart.
