Borra

Borra is the het ship between Bolin and Korra from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon
Bolin first met Korra when she snuck into the Pro-Bending arena. His coach Toza wanted to call security on her, but Bolin told him that she was his guest. Bolin's brother and teammate Mako called him out for bringing another one of his "crazy fan girls," but Bolin insisted that she was special. After watching their match, Korra revealed that she was the Avatar, and Bolin was impressed. He also taught her some earthbending moves used in pro-bending. Bolin's teammate Hasook ended up not showing up, so Korra had to take his place. Bolin quickly welcomed her to the team.

Bolin was eventually captured by Amon, so Korra helped Mako rescue him. In return, Bolin showed up on Air Temple Island and gave Korra a rose and a cupcake. Bolin felt threatened when Tarrlok's council page gave her a large gift basket, and was relieved when she told him it was just a politician. Later, Bolin tried to ask Korra out on a date, but she made up an excuse as to why she could not go. Bolin talked to his brother Mako about dating Korra, but Mako warned him that it was not a good idea to date a teammate.

After Korra was rejected by Mako, Bolin asked her out again. Korra said that she did not feel date-worthy, but Bolin told her otherwise and she finally decided to go out with him. They went to Narook's Seaweed Noodlery, a restaurant of the Southern Water Tribe. Bolin pointed out that they had a mutual interest in her tribe's food. Later, they went to Harmony Tower to look at the city's skyline, and Korra told Bolin that he was one of a kind.

The next day, Bolin bought Korra a bouquet of flowers, but saw her kissing Mako and ran away crying. Korra eventually apologized to Bolin for hurting his feelings while healing his shoulder. Eventually, Asami was worried that Mako had feelings for Korra and asked Bolin if that was the case. Bolin denied it and accidentally told her about the kiss but insisted that it meant nothing and that he was over it. Before Korra left to fight Amon, Bolin hugged her and warned her to be careful. After Korra lost her bending, Bolin tried to cheer her up and accompanied her to the South Pole.

Six months later, Korra was still with Mako. Bolin joined them on a trip to the South Pole and ended up dating Korra's cousin, Eska. When Korra returned after opening a portal, Bolin hugged her, and Eska questioned him about making physical contact with another woman. Bolin eventually wanted to break up with Eska, and Korra finally warned him about how creepy she was. Bolin eventually managed to get away from Eska, and Mako broke up with Korra not long after that. Bolin helped Korra in her battle against Vaatu, and watched in horror as Raava was extracted from her and destroyed. Bolin also helped Korra fight off the Dark Spirits while she meditated in the Tree of Time.

Two weeks later, Bolin decided to join Korra as she traveled around the Earth Kingdom looking for new airbenders. He also helped her rescue the captured airbenders from the Earth Queen. After reaching Zaofu, however, Bolin ended up dating Opal instead. Nevertheless, Korra and Bolin would always remain good friends. Bolin was the first to notice when Zaheer had kidnapped Korra and helped save her. Later, before Korra turned herself in, Bolin hugged her. He also cried when he saw Korra on the verge of death. While she was recovering the South Pole, Bolin sent her a bunch of letters and drew her a bunch of pictures.

Fanon
The Borra ship has a lot of fans. As soon as Bolin was announced as a character at San Diego Comic Con in 2011, many fans shipped them together before the series even started. When Asami started dating Mako, many fans started shipping Borra along with Masami so that all four members of Team Avatar could be in a relationship with each other. While Korra ended up with Mako and Bolin ended up with Eska, both couples eventually broke up, giving fans hope that Borra could still happen. However, Bolin ended up with a new love interest named Opal in Book Three. Borra usually competes with Makorra, Bosami, Boleska, Bopal, and occasionally Korrasami.
