Series Overview
Main article: List of The Legacy of Kyoshi episodes

Unlike The Legend of Korra before it, the series was always meant to be a full show rather than a miniseries. The series was created due to a want to bring more Avatar media into the world. The creators decided to make it a prequel due to them already creating a sequel to the series and a few ideas were pitched for the protagonist, eventually settling on Kyoshi due to her having the most story potential out of the previous Avatars.

Setting
The series is set in the same world as the previous installments in the series but is set around 200 years before either Avatar: The Last Airbender or The Legend of Korra. In this world, certain people are born with the ability to manipulate one of four elements (earth, fire, air, water) and only one person can manipulate them all, dubbed "The Avatar."

The Avatar themselves is in a reincarnation cycle, meaning that once one Avatar dies another is born with the same ability. Kyoshi herself is two reincarnations behind the most famous Avatar, Aang.

Cast and Characters
Kyoshi (Jennifer Hale) is the main protagonist of the series. The series itself follows her from age 18 to when she is around 20 or so. She is a member of the Earth Kingdom and is very different from the previous protagonists in the series in that she is willing to kill her enemies in order to ensure peace. Kyoshi's philosophy in the series is presented as a constant flaw that she must overcome.

One of the other main protagonists is Kyoshi's long-time rival Chiko (Kath Soucie), who is a non-bending member of the Water Tribe that travels the sea in search for treasure and glory. She and Kyoshi usually butt heads but they do care for each other at the end of the day.

Another protagonist is Li (Bryce Papenbrook), the son of a Fire Nation general who sees himself as a would-be vigilante, sneaking out at night and helping people who need it, donning a demon mask to do so.

The last of the main protagonists is Tey (Kristen Schaal), who is an Air Nomad that travels the land in search of adventure. She ran away from the Air Nomads due to finding their ways boring and is much shorter than most other characters, often being mistaken for a child.
