Amorra is a het ship between Amon and Korra from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon

Korra and Amon are natural enemies, as Korra is the Avatar and Amon is an antagonist who wants to rid the world of all bending. As soon as Amon heard that Korra had arrived in Republic City, he decided to accelerate his plans. Korra first saw Amon when she infiltrated his rally and witnessed his ability to eliminate bending. Korra created a distraction to save her friend Bolin and escaped. Amon decided to let her escape because he wanted her to deliver the message of his terrifying power.

Korra was afraid of Amon's new ability and began having nightmares about him. She was reluctant to join a task force to fight the Equalists because of her fear, but was eventually forced to join him. Korra eventually challenged Amon to a duel and he showed up, but he held her back and refused to take away her bending because he wanted her to be the last bender. Korra later cried and finally admitted her fear. Amon later attacked the pro-bending arena, but only held Korra back for the same reasons.

Korra was eventually captured by Tarrlok and held hostage until Amon appeared and took away his bending. At that point, Amon tried to have Korra captured, but she managed to escape. They exchanged glances as Korra escaped, and he had warned the other Equalists not to underestimate her. Later, Korra found Tarrlok and learned the truth about his tragic past. She admitted it was the saddest story she had ever heard.

After learning the truth, Korra tried to expose Amon, but failed. He revealed that he had captured the airbenders, and Korra was able to save them. However, Amon was able to remove Korra's bending. He then prepared to remove Mako's bending causing Korra to unlock her airbending and defeat Amon. He was later exposed when he waterbended to save his own life and managed to escape. Amon was later killed in a murder-suicide by his brother Tarrlok.

Fanon

While Amorra has always had its fans, it became especially popular first when they shared a tense scene at Avatar Aang Island, and also when Korra and Amon exchanged glances while Korra was on the run. Some see Korra as the Avatar and Amon as an anti-bender extremist, balancing each other out. They have the power to humble their counterparts and strip away longstanding prejudices. Many envision an eventual compromise between the two when it comes to equality, as both have their own destinies. Also, since Korra is from the Southern Water Tribe and Amon is from the Northern Water Tribe, many fans believe that a relationship between them would unite the tribes. Amorra is often seen as a "forbidden love" ship.
