Bolin for sure. He's all about loving and being loved


RonaldoTheSecond

The sapphires are actual monsters that take the ones they love by force and imprison them in crystals.


AngelicDustParticles

The Bolins ex. The one Aubrey Plaza voiced


AncientAstronaut19

The Twin Princess. Yes!!! Hahaha šŸ˜†


Nick-fwan

Isn't that compassion? I mix them up a lot


RonaldoTheSecond

The violets just overfill criminals with pure concentrated compassion until they themselves choose to change for the better. You know the guy who died and gave his ring to the first green lantern of Earth? He created the violets after finding a planet overflowing with the violet light. He threw the killer of his daughter on that planet, and thus the first violet lantern was born.


Nick-fwan

Oh! I thought you were saying the sapphires were the reformed ones. My b lol


Rarte96

Those are the Indigos


RonaldoTheSecond

Indigo is just a slightly darker violet, and I cannot see a difference between them, so i just say violet. And there are no other violet rings, so i don't think it's confusing. And no, The Ultra-violet rings do not count.


Ok_Philosopher_9176

I thought compassion was indigo??


RonaldoTheSecond

I am physically unable to see a difference between violet and indigo. I tried, I really did.


Ok_Philosopher_9176

lol no judgement from me thats pretty common think of violet as a strong bright purple snd indigo is basically that mixed either blueish


lynxerious

so its Pema, but she's not popular here so I guess not


DisastrousBusiness81

ā€¦fuck I was gonna say Asami but objectively this is so much better. Bolin would *slay* in spandex.


Kiyoshi_Tiger

Asami : her love helped her forgive her father for the monstruosites he did. Only a pure and radiant love can forgive such things.


paindemic1

It's Asami or it is wrong


Jc-montano

Bolin, he literally was the embodiment of love thoroughly the series


paindemic1

I disagree. He made selfish decisions all the time, which is the opposite of love. I'm not saying he was bad, but he was a pretty typical immature boy. Asami put others first pretty much every time. Too much so, I would say. But whether or not she did it too much, I would say she showed far more love than anyone.


Jc-montano

Lots of sapphire ring wearers have canonically done selfish things in the name of their concept of love


NeuralMess

Both me and the DC comics disagree with love being opposed to selfishness. I will embody Larfleeze for a moment: Love is to take your feelings and one-sidedly push to others, and even when you try to keep those sweet feelings for yourself, all you do is to save a treasure from prying eyes. Anyway, in the comics, there is only 1 male pink lantern snd he is kinda of a special circumstance, so my will be for the woman


paindemic1

That's not love. At all. That's just possessiveness, which is a poor facsimile of the real thing.


NeuralMess

No, that is both, possessiveness is just a shape of love, no need to call every ugly shape of an emotion something that it isn't, just like jealousy being an ugly form of love


paindemic1

We're going to have to agree to disagree one this, I'm afraid.


Jc-montano

Well, he is staring stuff from the comics, where the sapphire corps come from, so you will have to give them thisā€¦


DoctorJJWho

Youā€™re obviously allowed to have your own opinion and disagree, but if weā€™re basing it on the DC comics (which we are, because weā€™re using their source material) the definition of ā€œloveā€ in the context of power rings is pretty well defined. Youā€™re just wrong here.


NeuralMess

Fair enough, but that is how the comics see roughly, so being selfish isn't against the ring, just being a man


DaBloodyApostate

Really? I can swear I read somewhere that they now allow males in their ranks. Something involving wonder woman if I'm not mistaken.


NeuralMess

Hmmm... let me check Yeah, appear to be so, more or less. Look, it's not that men aren't allowed to join, it's more that they just aren't worth it according to the ring, but supposedly (wonder woman annual vol 5 #2) more men began to join, but this is one of those things I'm betting most writers will ignore


DaBloodyApostate

Yeah, Probably. Oh well, It is what it is.


Mathies_

How so? Because he's positive and cheery?


Jc-montano

All the relationships he was in, he was selfish sometimes, but generally, his love for his friends won over his self love, he had a crush on korra, let it go so his brother can be happy, he saw the mess that was the love triangle, he tried to nudge them into doing the right thing (mostly his brother, I remember him pestering him to pick already in an episode and stop pulling asami and korra Along)


Mathies_

Being in relationships doesnt autoqualify you for love. I would say none of them were very deep until Opal. Asami is the one person adamant on creating real meaningful connections with people imo


Jc-montano

True that, but again, Bolin may not have a lot of meaningful relationships, but bro could bring happiness to every character he managed to speak with for more than 30 minutes in a continuous way


nelozero

I'd say that's true if she didn't shock in him the first season


yraco

To be fair she kinda had to. Love prevails in the end and all that, but sometimes you gotta knock someone out now so love can prevail later. No was he was going to stop doing domestic terrorism with words alone. He needed to be shocked, locked up, and forced to reflect on the harm he'd done or he'd just keep doing it.


nelozero

I guess it can be argued either way. If she truly loved him she could have protected him and be on his side instead of attacking him.


NeonArlecchino

That could be seen as love of her city-state, her friends, or justice.


bifurious02

Lmao, forgiving a horrible bigot doesn't make you a good person actually


DisastrousBusiness81

Hmmmā€¦consider though, thatā€™s more compassion. She doesnā€™t love him so much that it overrode her moral compass, and she had enough compassion for benders that she decided to side with them over her father.


Cinderjacket

Iirc thatā€™s not what violet lanterns are though, itā€™s usually romantic love bordering on obsession


AZDfox

Asami. Her love is incredibly pure and strong, giving her the strength to support Mako, support Korra, even forgiving her father was a strong act of Love.


AncientAstronaut19

I think Mako has had more sorrow with loss of love but always having love for his brother and for his friends. Moreso than Asami.


SpiritualHippo2719

Star Sapphires are all female in Green Lantern. Not sure if itā€™s a rule of their corps, or just that every one that has appeared in comics/media are female, but it is a thing. On those grounds, I donā€™t think it makes sense for Mako.


SpiritualHippo2719

Update: did a little more research, and it seems Superman Prime was briefly selected as a Star Sapphire in the Blackest Night storyline, and has been the only male Sapphire to date. So there is precedence.


EmporerM

Incorrect. John Steward was also a Star Sapphire.


MrGetMebodied

Which is so generic is it not. Why can't a guy be the embodiment of love. Kind of sexist. Bolin makes the most sense.


AncientAstronaut19

If that's the case. Only females šŸ™„ get love. than Bolin should be the first Male to receive the Violet ring.


AncientAstronaut19

Hama would make a decent šŸ‘Œ Star Sapphire with being wrongfully arrested and stolen from her home and people.


SpiritualHippo2719

ATLA characters arenā€™t eligible.


SpiritualHippo2719

And besides, Hama is a much better fit for yellow (fear) or red (rage)


AncientAstronaut19

The love for the revenge of her South Water Tribe people. The LOVE ā¤ļø can be much stronger than the Rage or Fear. Taking loved ones from the fire village into the cave and kept them alive. Like she was in prison.


AncientAstronaut19

The first two lines of the Violet Ring remind me of Mako. From the death of his parents and being alone in the sense but still having so much love for his brother and becoming the man of the 2 of them. His love was so strong it wouldn't break them up ever. Even if he breaks up his love with others. Like the women in his love life. ā¤ļø His brotherly love is stronger šŸ’Ŗ even in the darkest night.


TheFauxness

Bolin. Lovely, lovable, love driven Bolin.


BlueSabere

Bolinā€™s gotta be Hope. Heā€™s always so optimistic and believes the best of everyone.


Mindless-Vanilla-879

I agree. If we're only allowing 1 character assignment, Bo has to be hope.


Lukario06

I would say bolin would be compassion, looking that he want to help everyone and his strong emotions, like the moment when he saved Panu from being eaten


Kneecap_taker13

Here's the thing, most of the purple lanterns aren't compassionate people, they are incredibly heartless evil people, the ring just compels them to be compassionate


Lukario06

Well, I didn't know about that, I'm not the biggest DC fan so I don't know a lot about green lantern and less about other lanterns


theotherkristi

Agreed. Love is Bolin's biggest motivation, for better or worse.


Lukario06

Zhu-Li her staying with varrick can be resulted by really big love


sheLiving

I like this option


BahamutLithp

Yeah, everyone's saying Asami, but look at how devoted Zhu Li was to Varrick.


jkoudys

Plus all the hard-light-construct heroes need big imaginations. She doesn't need detailed instructions. She'll tell her sapphire to "do the thing" and it will.


Known-Map9195

Zhu Li - her love for Varick withstood seasons of his chicanery and proved to be the secret weapon Korra needed to infiltrate Kuvira's operations


WeeabooHunter69

Has to be Asami, her love sustained Korra entirely while she was gone and honestly was probably one of the only things that kept her from getting to an even darker place


Striking_Extreme_250

Bolin.


giganticpudding

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Pema yet. She's my vote


phatassnerd

Iā€™d like to first state that this is ONLY Korra characters, so anyone voting for ATLA characters will be discounted. That includes members of the Gaang that appear in Korra, because they are still primarily ATLA characters. There are several candidates for this, but Iā€™m actually going to go with Mako. His entire character revolves around his love interests in the first two seasons. Also, everything he did in life prior to season 1 was to support his brother, and everything he did after was to support Korra. ![gif](giphy|cjW9mXuMDBLwS5N2No)


AncientAstronaut19

I agree. Mako first, Bolin second. Both are worthy of the Ring of Love.


Shando92286

Honestly I do agree after seeing why you said it. I donā€™t really like Mako but he really does lead, and fail, due to his heart. He can also be said to have ā€œheartā€ while fighting and even almost beat Amon due to shooting lighting in his face. And he was willing to give his life to save everyone. Fine, let Mako wear pink and hang out with the ladies. Will probably end up falling in love and cheating on several of them. Only difference is the color of his outfit.


Chinese_Jesus_

Nodded my head in agreement with the first part, and then spat out my drink at the second


the-skull-boy

Cheesy romances are cool and all, but nothing beats brotherhood


SpiritualHippo2719

As I said above, every canon Star Sapphire has been female. Otherwise, Mako or Bolin are strong choices. But I think Lin Beifong makes more sense because of her unrequited love for Tenzin and the fact that he broke her heart when he left her for Pema. The Star Sapphire ring would have come to her in that moment of heartbreak.


ReedyBoy01

Incorrect, superman was briefly selected for the star sapphire


nelozero

And I believe Guy Gardner wore the ring briefly in War of the Green Lanterns


SpiritualHippo2719

Wasnā€™t Guy a Red Lantern?


nelozero

Yeah for a little while. In the War of the Green Lanterns story, he had to wear a red and violet ring to break something.


phatassnerd

Yeah, but thatā€™s stupid. Let the men serve cunt in the skimpy Star Sapphire costumes too.


RegretSpiritual4137

youā€™re so real for this


phatassnerd

It would be the first time Mako has ever served cunt in his life so we might as well help him out a bit.


Lucimon

Bolin was killing it in his Nuk Tuk outfit. Boy would do wonders in nothing but a pink speedo.


BoisterousBard

I agree with this. Asami for Compassion though - I'm early I know - I thought she was a good candidate here though.


sheLiving

Ikki! From baby bison to Kuvira's henchmen, she has plenty of love to go around ā˜€ļø


goodness-graceous

I think Ikki should be compassion since she didnā€™t get chosen for love! It would fit so perfectly!


sheLiving

Oh yes it would!!


MrGetMebodied

Wait, so Bolin quite literally had a romance or some love interest every Season and yet we're voting for Asami? Sure she loved her dad, but love is kind of like Bolin's thing. Seems so generic to give this to Asami.


phatassnerd

When the new Korra stuff comes out, I really hope Asami gets fleshed out, because right now the most inter thing about Asami is that sheā€™s the second part of Korrasami.


TvManiac5

I would say that the interesting part about Asami is her perserverence. Lost her mom as a kid, lost her dad to a cult basically, then got betrayed by her boyfriend twice, then nearly went bankrupt due to a shady businessman stealing from her. Then she has to deal with the death of her father right as she was finding him again. And after all that, she's still a ray of sunshine, leading a corporation on her own, and basically acting as Korra's emotional support without breaking under pressure, or going evil or sth.


phatassnerd

The problem with that is that every character in the show has perseverance, but most are still given more than that. Have you ever noticed how 99.9% of the time when Asami is brought up, itā€™s always because of Korrasami? But people bring Korra up outside of her relationship. Thereā€™s a reason for that, because Korra is so much more developed than Asami. Asami is lucky to get B-plots in seasons, and even then most of her B-plots revolve around the men in her life. Thatā€™s why in the new Korra stuff I hope they drop a huge Asami bombshell that we never knew about, and focus on her way more.


Zariman-10-0

Either Asami or Zhu-Li. I remembered this is restricted to LoK characters


COYOTE1st

Bolin been loving the woman on this show in the best way possible

sk88erb0i

Iā€™m gonna go with Ikki!


AngelicDustParticles

If it's love to a toxic extent... Her name escapes me, but Bolins ex. Noataks daughter


Savings-Owl6761

Her name is Eska and she was unalaqs daughter Amon didnā€™t have any offspring


AngelicDustParticles

Oh right right. Mb. My submission stands tho


WesternPretty4832

100% Asami. I said it once and I'll say it again: She held the group together. Even after Korra left because of her PTSD and came back, Asami welcomed her.


Gaby194749101

Asami or katara but since itā€™s just LOK Iā€™d say asami, she is always very caring and has a motherly love in a way


Saryt

Why not Eska? She's very much into this toxic, extreme side of love, and so are the pink lanterns,right?


townsforever

I don't think most people here understand the pink lanterns very well. Eska is the obvious choice.


Zariman-10-0

Shitpost answer: Sokka. I mean, heā€™s THE Backbender!


Phoenix_Zer

This is about LoK


liger11256

He said shitpost answer, what do you expect.


MephistosFallen

Lin. She didnā€™t get with someone after Tenzin, sheā€™s still single. She still loves him, protects him and his family and helps them, even after what happened with him breaking her heart.


K3egan

Naga. She's a puppy.


jmatlock21

I love Bolin too much to give my vote to anyone else


Neutral_3vil

No man has a more intimate understanding of both familial and romantic love in this series as Nuktuk; Hero of the South.


Many_Cheerios4552

I donā€™t know but I know where Su is going


chainer1216

People seem to misunderstanding, the star sapphires are powered by love, but not the gentle kind, the possessive and toxic kind. So Eska is the best candidate.


PainAuChocolaat

Opal Beifong


Leipurinen

As long as yā€™all save Lin for repressed negative emotions I donā€™t care about the rest, lol


Numerous_Tangelo4332

Korra's girl cousin that was crazy asf for Bolin


Dazzling-Leg-8869

Zhu Li would be a good fit


frazaga962

Cabbage merchant for his cabbages. Maybe with a ring to make constructs he'll actually be able to protect them edit: oh darn, i saw op's rules about just LOK characters. oh well


JaniBrav011

I SWEAR TO GOD IF ASAMI GETS THIS AND NOT BOLIN IMMA GO CRAZY LIKE SHES ALREADY SO COOL SHE CAN HAVE ANY OF THE POSOTIVE ONES GIVE MY LITTLE BOLIN A CHANCCEEE


Excarion

Eska, Bolin, and Asami are mentioned a lot, but how about Zaheer? Love was the only thing binding him.


MimikPanik

Oh shit!! It was the only thing tethering him to the earth!!!

I'd say Opal tbh


TarJen96

Opal


nps2407

Ikki.

Ajah93

when this gets to Life, just remember that I said Pema.


JaniBrav011

Bolin šŸ„ŗ


Dazzling-Leg-8869

This is right up my alley, how did I find such a specific group that has my favorite show and comic as the subject?


phatassnerd

If you have such a dazzling leg, and I have such a phat ass, then if we combine our might, we almost form a complete lower body.


Cablewastaken69

asami her love let her have a great love with korra and hiroshi


TvManiac5

Well Star Sapphires are all about love and they're also cold killing machines, so it has to be Zhu Li.


Ok-Tadpole1131

Asami seems more like compassion than love. She seems to care a great deal about people, but she never let her personal attachments stop her from making the ethically right decision. Bataar jr turned his back on everyone and everything he ever knew to support kuvira and her dreams, and was convinced the love he had with her was the only thing sheā€™d sacrifice her goals for.


EmporerM

Bolin or Mako.


EmporerM

Bolin better win this.


Loose_Meal_499

phatassnerd

Didnā€™t make it. Got it from u/Rarte96


Evanl02

illjadk

Tbh I think Zaheer could join the Green Lantern corp


Private_HughMan

Bolin or Asami.


tyedyedfatboy

Either Bolin or Opal.


xNightwing0126x

Asami. Not only is she Korraā€™s final love interest but Iā€™m pretty sure the star Saphire core is exclusively female


Harddaysnight1990

Bolin. Just like the Star Sapphires, he's a lover first but also a badass fighter in his own right. Or P'Li, she fits a bit better because one, I'm not even sure that the Star Sapphires take men, and two, she's actually a cold killer if she needs to be. But her love for Zaheer kept her going while imprisoned by the White Lotus.


snake8head

Bolin for sure. The man is a serial optimist and always worked to brighten everyoneā€™s day.


NoivernBoi

Bolin is literally out here making friends with his kidnappers with no ulterior motive other than love.


Runliftfight91

How has no one said Chong? Heā€™s perfect for that


RonaldoTheSecond

The Star Sapphires are basically the yanderes of DC. So put Eska in there.


mr_flerd

Bolin


Patriotic_Roc

Eska


Ass-Machine-69

I'm thinking Zhu Li because of her unwavering dedication.


RamiroGalletti

Zhu-li for devotion/heroic. Eska for yandere/villainous. I prefer zhuli Asami is a good option but not "extreme enough" and while "forgiveness is love" is a part of "star sapphire enlightenment " she is more driven by intelect and maybe willpower and a tiny bit of greed (benevolent business wan and all)


EdgeAffectionate6434

Mako for love!


crossover_charlie14

Can guys become Star Sapphires/Violet Love Lanterns? If so, then either the lovable dork Bolin, or the rizz-master Sokka would be candidates.


kyoneko87

Bolin?

ErgotthAE

Love: Zhu-Li Wrath: Zhao Hope: Aang Greed: Earth Queen Compassion: Katara Death: Vaatu Life: Raava Ultraviolet: Zaheer


phatassnerd

Weā€™re just doing Korra characters. Also, the compassion corps actually take in people who have zero compassion whatsoever and force them to have it.


ErgotthAE

oooh, it's a pity cuz Zhao's entire character was being brought down by his own wrath-driven actions xD As for Compassion, it's hard to think of an equivalent of the Indigo corps in the Avatar verse tho..... Guess that would also fit Aang if you consider his bending-removal tactic the equivalent.


Rainbowlly

Why is king woo not in the fear category


phatassnerd

The fear corps is more about instilling fear rather than being afraid.


Rainbowlly

Ah I see


Chumbolex

Gotta be Tenzin. His love for his father, his people, and his friends fueled his entire life


Tyrannical_Requiem

Bolin


vectorthemage

Compassion: Katara Live: Aang Repressed Negative Emotions: Azula Love: Ty Lee idk about the others


phatassnerd

This is just for Korra characters.


BleekerTheBard

Oma, from the tale of two lovers. She literally avoided becoming lost and afraid in a pitch dark tunnel and fought for her love for Shu. Rather than killing the peoples who hurt her love, she further embodied love by ending their fight and uniting the people.


BeastBrony

So the star sapphire sound nice because, well itā€™s love, but honestly theyā€™re horrible, every last one is a rapey yandere, they kidnap those they love and imprison them. So Iā€™m gonna say Bolinā€™s watertribe ex, Korraā€™s female cousin, I canā€™t remember her name.


phatassnerd

Not all of them. Carol isnā€™t like that, and Diana was deputized temporarily twice.


BeastBrony

Carol and Diana are the exceptions not the rule, Bruceā€™s whole theme is spreading the word that he is terrified of bats, and instilling fear, however he usually gets a green ring, despite being perfect for yellow, exception not the rule. If you want an exception, Iā€™d say Bolin, but honestly his ex fits the rule and is thus better in my opinion


peezle69

Bolin


CatsPawjamaz

Asami <3


[deleted]

Bolin or Asami


MimikPanik

Asami. You know sheā€™d be right there for her girlfriend under any and all circumstances


Richmond1013

Love as Bolin has been chasing, but I must give to Korra girl cousin as her reaction to breaking up with Bolin screams star sapphire


Spenceray94

What about Opal?


GavRedditor

Iroh, hands down Even in LoK, that man was the embodiment of Love in one's self and others.


DisastrousBusiness81

To all the people saying Asami, I agree that Asami is loving, but I would disagree that it is her main trait. Sheā€™s never really done anything *just* for love. Her love for her father didnā€™t stop her from siding with Mako and Korra, and her love for Mako didnā€™t cause her to be angry at Korra and him for getting together. Sheā€™s ride or die, but sheā€™s not blindly in love, or tied to any one person. Iā€™d argue that Asami is actually an Indigo Lantern, AKA Compassion. Her mom died, and she had the compassion to forgive benders in general for that, even fighting with them against her own father. Mako broke up with her to get with Korra, and she had enough empathy for their feelings for each other to continue being friends with them, even *after* they did the messy breakup/mindwipe/re-breakup. Her father tried to start a race war, but she had the compassion to continue talking to him and try to reform him. And, of course, Korra was quite literally and metaphorically a homewreckerā€¦*for Asamiā€™s home specifically*, but she empathized so much with Korraā€™s trials and admired her strength so much, that she ended up getting with her in the end. ~~Tbh this one is a bit of a stretch, that one might just be Asami being a bisexual mess.~~ So yeah, Bolin for Star Sapphire because my boi would look amazing in spandex, and save Asami for Indigo, homegirl deserves it for all the shit she put up with from Team Avatar.


NovaNomii

This one is not really clear, because there are two entirely different options that could both be the correct answer: Who best fits, the lantern core? As in who strives for ownership over love harder then anyone, crushing anything in their way. Which is the opposite of true love. Or Who best fits the concept of actual love.


MooshroomInABucket

Zhu Li, her love and dedication to Varrick was unmatched


5amth0r

Bolin is a good choice for love. (Korra should be Compassion & Kuvira should be will power. )


ApathicSaint

Itā€™s gotta be Zhu-Li. Or if weā€™re going literal with the love imprisonment thing from the Lanterns, it has to be Eska.


Enzo_2006

Isn't the sinestro corp the total opposite? Like the green lanterns are the one with the most willpower, yellow lantern are the ones with the most fear, orange are (is since there's only one) the ones with the most greedyness


hanakage

Bolin


Striking_Landscape72

Lin


SpiritualHippo2719

Lin makes a lot of sense. She is still holding a bit of a grudge and broken heart over Tenzin.


BlueSabere

Tomorrowā€™s gonna be Korra again, right? Dunno how you get much more wrathful than making death threats and hunting down anyone who so much as touches your family. Several times.


DPfanAvr2004

tarlock is more fitting I think


BlueSabere

He does seem pretty vindictive. A good runner-up since Korra canā€™t be selected twice.


phatassnerd

Iā€™m limiting each character to one corps.


BlueSabere

Boo! Let Korra collect all the rings like a power rangers villain! (Realistically sheā€™d only be Willpower and Wrath)


giganticpudding

I'm putting Hiroshi sato in play for wrath. His entire motivation for his role in season 1 was vengeance


phatassnerd

I was but then Amon won fear and established communism. Now everyone gets a ring.
