Pemzin is the het ship between Tenzin and Pema from The Legend of Korra fandom.

Canon

Tenzin and Pema met on Air Temple Island. Tenzin was the airbending son of Aang who was supposed to carry on his legacy, while Pema had joined the Air Acolytes after leaving home. Tenzin was actually dating Lin Beifong at the time, though they were growing apart anyway as they had different goals in life. Pema eventually fell in love with Tenzin and could not bear to see him with the wrong person, so she finally confessed her feelings to him. This caused Tenzin to break up with Lin and start dating Pema.

Tenzin and Pema eventually married and had four children. When Pema was pregnant with her fourth child, Tenzin helped her get rid of Oogi, but Pema insisted that she was fine and not helpless. At one point, Tenzin had trouble with Korra's impatience and hotheadedness, so Pema gave him advice and assured him that she would come around eventually. When the Equalists attacked Republic City and Tenzin had to go to City Hall, he trusted Lin to look after her. When Tenzin finally returned, he found that Pema had given birth to their new son. They cherished the moment and had already decided to name him Rohan.

Over six months later, Tenzin decided to take a family vacation to the four Air Temples around the world. Pema joined him and enjoyed the trip. When Jinora was trapped in the Spirit World, Tenzin had to tell Pema what had happened, and she was concerned. After the Harmonic Convergence, new airbenders appeared, so Tenzin gathered many of them and took them to the Northern Air Temple. Pema eventually joined him, and he complained that the airbenders did not worked hard or appreciate the culture. Pema comforted Tenzin, reminding him of when she first became an Air Acolyte and assuring him that they would eventually adapt.

Three years later, Pema and Tenzin attended the opening of the new train station and the coronation of prince Wu. Eventually, it was revealed that Kuvira was planning to attack Republic City with a dangerous weapon. A mandatory evacuation was called, but Tenzin and the airbenders stayed behind to help with the battle. Pema also decided to stay behind to help with the evacuation. They embraced. After the final battle, Tenzin and Pema attended the wedding of Varrick and Zhu Li.

Children

Jinora

Jinora is the first daughter and eldest child of Tenzin and Pema. She is an airbender and very talanted. Jinora is very studious and loves to read books. She is also very spiritual and was able to help Korra enter the Spirit World when she was eleven years old. Jinora learned a special airbending technique that allowed her to project her spirit and was able to help Korra retrieve Raava from Vaatu. As she matured, Jinora began to find boys interesting and eventually dated a boy named Kai. She also became an airbending master at the age of eleven, making her the youngest airbender to receive her tattoos.

Ikki

Ikki is the second daughter of Tenzin and Pema. She is also an airbender. Ikki is more of a motor child and tends to be hyperactive. Being the middle child, she often has trouble getting along with her siblings and often feels left out. Ikki also likes to ask questions of everyone she meets and tell others what to do. Ikki eventually grew up and was the one who helped Jinora and Meelo find Korra.

Meelo

Meelo is the first son and third child of Tenzin and Pema. He is an airbender like his two older sisters. Meelo is also hyperactive and a bit of a troublemaker. He likes to bite his father's head and often imitates others. Meelo has a fascination with flying lemurs and eventually captured one of his own and named him Poki. He also likes to airbend his own flatulence. Meelo seems to have a thing for older women, as in the first season he was shown to have a crush on Asami (who was 18 at the time), and in the fourth season he had a crush on a flower girl named Tuyen.

Rohan

Rohan is the second son and youngest child of Tenzin and Pema. He was born during the Equalist attack on Republic City. It is unknown what bending ability Rohan has, or if he is a bender at all. Pema hoped he would be a non-bender, but Katara predicted he would be another airbender. It remains to be seen if Katara was right about Rohan. Not much is known about him, and he is never seen speaking. When he was four years old, he was seen running around with juice on his face until Pema caught up with him and grabbed him.

Fanon

Pemzin was a highly anticipated ship when Pema was announced as Tenzin's wife at a Comic Con panel. Some people had shipped Tenzin with Korra, and many were excited to see that ship sink. Most were happy to see that Tenzin had a family. It was eventually revealed that Pema is sixteen years younger than Tenzin. Many found this strange. When it was revealed that Pema had stolen Tenzin from Lin, some had a problem with this and others began to ship Linzin. However, Pemzin is still a very popular ship because it is canon and they have four children. Pemzin usually competes with the Linzin ship, although some ship both.
