Thank you so much for doing all of this research! You are the best! đź’š And I agree their height difference is sooo adorable. ^_^
Do we know how tall Korra and Asami are??
That’s a good question!
I know that Korra was stated to be around 5’7” after a fan asked Bryan about Korra and Mako’s height (Mako is stated to be about 6’2” in the earlier books). At the NYCC 2014 panel, it was stated that Korra grew a bit taller during the three year gap, so that leads me to believe that she would probably be around 5’9”. You can see a comparison of her old and new height on the left-hand side:
I’m not entirely sure if the rest of the Krew grew between Book 3 and 4 (though I feel like Bolin is noticably taller, so they probably did?), but Asami seems to be afew inches taller than Korra in Book 4 (maybe around the 3”- 4”inch mark - perhaps a little more… It’s hard to gauge since the character heights aren’t always consistent in the show/posters, but she doesn’t seem to tower over Korra as much as she did in the first couple of books) so I’ve always thought her to be around 5’11” – 6’0” (and Mako only seems to be a couple of inches taller than Asami in Book 4, so I could still see him being about 6’2” or perhaps even 6’3”).
But I mean, this is all just loose speculation and it’s very possible that my estimations are a bit off. I’ve seen others chat about this stuff on different Avatar forums and quite a few people have come to a similar conclusion as me (here is one such thread from AvatarSpirit.net: https://forums.avatarspirit.net/index.php?topic=21967.75), but hey, it’s ultimately up to your own judgement! In the end, Korra and Asami’s height difference is SO HECKIN CUTE and I’m sure that Asami teases Korra about it whenever she gets the chance!
