You amuse me. I will make you mine.
~ Eska taunts Bolin.

Eska and Desna are supporting antagonists in The Legend of Korra. They are the twins of the late Chief Unalaq of the Northern Water Tribe and the cousins of Avatar Korra. Eska introduced as a potential love interest to Bolin, she quickly showed herself to be a sadistic and emotionally abusive girlfriend, who also enforces her father's malevolent agenda after Korra turns on him.

Eska was voiced by Aubrey Plaza, and Desna was voiced by Aaron Himelstein.

History[]

Born in 155 AG, Eska and Desna first appeared in the premiere of Book 2. Bolin takes a liking to her and attempts to woo Eska. However he quickly realizes that he has gotten more than he bargained for when Eska proves to be a controlling and emotionally abusive partner who delights in making her "lover" miserable, forcing him to obey her and her brother's every whim. Eventually, Bolin can take no more, and Asami and Mako suggest that Bolin stand up for himself. Bolin tries and fails, prolonging his suffering.

Eska ultimately decides that she desires to marry Bolin outright, at which point Bolin falls deeper into despair. Fortunately for him, he is able to escape from Eska when Team Avatar returns to Republic City, sending Eska into a rage. Blaming Avatar Korra, she vows to get vengeance on her for ruining her wedding and "stealing" her boyfriend, but she and her brother eventually team up with Korra because her father's deeds were exposed.

After Unalaq's death at the hands of Korra, Eska and Desna become the new chiefs of the Northern Water Tribe, both finding their new responsibility to be boring. They are pleased to discover P'Li's secret prison, commenting on how they could have been incarcerating many people, including Desna's tailor. She is seen helping Zuko and Tonraq in the fight against Zaheer and his band of criminals. They are subdued by Ming-Hua, who traps them in blocks of ice, and Zaheer escapes.

Three years later, the twins attend Wu's coronation. At the Republic City Four Elements hotel, Eska encounters Bolin again, where she compliments him on "replacing" her with Kuvira. Bolin says that Kuvira is his boss, but Eska replies that "boss" and "girlfriend" are the same thing. A hotel employee then informs the two that they've been booked for a room with only one bed, but Eska says that it wasn't a mistake as Desna sleeps in the tub.
