Waava

Waava is the het ship between Wan and Raava from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon
Wan first met Raava when he saw her fighting Vaatu in the Spirit Wilds. Wan shouted at them because many animals were in danger, but Raava told him to go away, that the fight does not concern him. However, Vaatu tricked Wan into firebending at them, separating them. Raava yelled at Wan for being tricked and informed him of the consequences of his actions. Later, when Wan visited the air Lion Turtle, Vaatu arrived and the residents asked why the two spirits were separated. Raava then arrived and told everyone to ask Wan, who explained that he had beentricked.

Wan wanted to travel the world to collect elements so that he could try to correct his mistakes, but when he tried to gain airbending, he found out that he would need Raava's help to bend more than one element. Raava was still angry with Wan and initially refused to help him, but Wan convinced her when he insisted on fixing his mistakes. Raava was concerned for Wan's well being, as fusing to change elements was dangerous for him, but Wan insisted on trying, and in the end he was fine.

Raava explained that the final battle between her and Vaatu would take place in a year, so Wan was determined to gather more elements to give them a chance. Eventually, they had another run-in with Vaatu, which left Raava severely weakened. She was so small that Wan picked her up and put her in a teapot to carry her. Raava finally admitted to Wan that she had previously looked down on humans, but had learned that they were capable of selflessness and bravery. As they headed into the final battle, Raava felt hopeless about winning, but Wan tried to reassure her that they still had a chance.

During the battle, Vaatu easily overpowered Wan and threw him around. Wan and Raava merged, but it was still not enough. Raava told Wan that she had to leave his body or he would die, but he insisted that she stay. As the Harmonic Convergence began, Wan used its power to permanently merge with Raava. Raava informed Wan that they were joined forever, and Wan was easily able to overpower Vaatu and seal him in the Tree of Time. Wan decided that it was now his duty to use Raava's light spirit to bring balance to the world. However, when he was much older, Wan was mortally wounded on the battlefield. He lamented his failure to bring balance to the world, but Raava bonded with him and told him that they would be together for all of his lifetimes and that they would never give up, making him the first Avatar.

Fanon
Waava is a very popular ship in the Legend of Korra fandom. Many love this pairing because they are permanently fused and Raava said they would be together for all of Wan's lifetimes. Many fans like to portray Raava in a humanoid form. Some do this to make Wan and Raava seem more alike. Some fans ship Waava only as an emotional ship, due to the fact that they are permanently fused and cannot touch each other.
