THR Unveils First-Look At New "The Legend of Korra" Character Suyin Beifong

The entertainment industry news magazine The Hollywood Reporter has unveiled a exclusive special first-look photo of the brand-new "The Legend of Korra" recurring character Suyin Beifong, who, voiced by American actress Anne Heche (USA Network's "Dig"), will be making her debut appearance in the brand-new "The Legend of Korra" - "Book Three: Change" episode "The Metal Clan", the second of two back-to-back episodes premiering at 8:00pm and 8:30pm ET/PT on Nick USA! In the episode airing at 8:30pm ET/PT, Korra's (Janet Varney) quest leads her and her friends to the metal city of Zaofu.

45-year-old Suyin, or Su for short, is half-sister to Chief Lin Beifong and daughter of Toph Beifong. A well-traveled woman of many talents and skills, she's a powerful metalbender, a dancer and the leader of Zaofu, the city she built from the ground up. Family is of utmost importance to her — she is happily married to her architect husband and they have five children. Su has a checkered past and got into a lot of trouble when she was younger, resulting in a strained relationship with her sister Lin.

The exciting Nickelodeon news comes a day after Nickelodeon unveiled their Comic-Con International: San Diego 2014 plans, which will include a special "The Legend of Korra" panel.
