Korpal

Korpal is the femslash ship between Korra and Opal from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon
Opal first met Korra when Korra visited Zaofu. Korra was there to meet Opal because she was a new airbender, and Korra was helping to recruit new airbenders to become Air Nomads. Opal was thrilled to meet Korra and said she was amazing. She was excited at the idea of being taken to the Northern Air Temple, but her mother brushed it off and had Korra teach her there. Korra taught Opal some basic airbending, and she really enjoyed it. Opal was worried at first because she did not think she was very good at airbending, but Korra helped put her mind at ease.

Opal wanted to spend time with her aunt Lin, but was too afraid to talk to her. There was a rift between Lin and Opal's mother Su because of their past. Korra decided to take a shy Opal to Lin to give her support. Lin ended up yelling at Opal, which made her cry. Korra yelled at Lin for hurting her feelings when she had done nothing wrong. Korra also went back to Lin's room later and told her that she had to apologize to Opal. After Opal decided to leave for the Northern Air Temple, Korra called Tenzin on the radio and excitedly told him that Opal would be joining them.

Three years later, Korra and Opal were reunited in Zaofu after the former had finally recovered from a serious injury. Kuvira was about to attack Zaofu, and Opal's mother had been captured along with her younger twin brothers. The two initially argued about Kuvira's actions and the best way to approach her, but Korra later decided to face her and Opal decided to join her. Korra ended up losing the fight, so Opal jumped in to save her and escape with her.

Back in Republic City, Opal was upset that her family had been captured and felt that no one cared what happened to her. Korra comforted her and assured her that they would get her family back. When Jinora said she sensed a disturbance, Opal decided to investigate with them. When Korra stepped back in shock, Opal asked if she was okay, and Korra explained that Kuvira was attacking the swamp. Together they ran to City Hall to inform President Raiko of what was happening.

Fanon
Fans started shipping Korpal from the moment she was introduced. Many fans saw their airbending training as "dancing" and even found it similar to when Aang and Katara danced. Opal also called Korra "amazing" when they first met which is something Mako and Asami have also said to Korra. A lot of fan fiction about Korra and Opal involves them airbending together.
