We at Knight Edge Media have been slowly bringing you tidbits on Avatar Studios’ upcoming animated series, Avatar: Seven Havens, throughout the last year. Our reporting was first to announce the name of the new series set in the Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra animated universe. We also revealed that the main protagonist in this series will follow a young homeless girl named Pavi. We also first revealed that she would have a secret twin sister. The studio has since confirmed our story and revealed a first look at Avatar Pavi and her companion Jae at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con. However, they have said nothing about Pavi’s twin. Spoilers Ahead.
Following earlier art leaks this year, we have learned that Pavi’s long-lost twin is named Nisha. So, where is Nisha when the series begins if Pavi is the homeless twin? As previously reported and confirmed by Avatar Studios, the world hates the Avatar following the events of The Legend of Korra. Due to a cataclysmic event with Avatar Korra, the world is now a post-apocalyptic wasteland. The show will have a throwback reference to Avatar Day in these earlier episodes. There will be plays dedicated to the hatred of Korra through propaganda.
We have spoken to several sources regarding the early test screenings for episodes 1 and 2 of the series, which revealed the following plot details. We have learned that essentially, benders have become extinct in the universe. The few that can bend are taken from a young age and are forced into servitude for the guards of Elora City to fight against the outside energy storms. While the children are looked at more like a “firefighter brigade,” they are still enlisted into the army against their will.
We learn that Jae first comes into contact with Pavi outside Elora City. Due to an alteration, Pavi is shown using earthbending to escape Jae. He realizes she must be taken in and forced into servitude alongside all the other children benders. After chasing after Pavi, they end up in some ancient ruins where Jae gets stuck. Pavi is forced to use all four elements to rescue Jae from the fallen ruins. That’s when Jae realizes Pavi must be the long-lost Avatar. We’ve also been told it has been a long time since the Korra era, not just 9 years since Pavi’s birth. This changes the lore that the next Avatar isn’t born immediately after the previous Avatar dies. The world also gives off obvious Mad Max vibes, as well as Planet of the Apes, due to the legend of Ceaser being similar to the long-lost legend of the Avatar, with small remnants of the old world remaining.
Jae becomes friends with Pavi and brings her back to his high command, Captain Karthik, in Elora City. Captain Karthik is the leader of the guards in Elora City. He is directly responsible for overseeing all children benders in their role as the city’s defense against the energy storms. When Jae presents Pavi to Karthik, he is immediately confused. How can this young girl be the Avatar? When he already has the Avatar. Enter Nisha.
Nisha has long been in hiding in the care of the White Lotus and Captain Karthik. He knows his duty is to have all children benders enlist in the army, but for some reason, he doesn’t turn in Nisha. Even though he has also been told his entire life, since childhood, that the Avatar is evil due to whatever major event happens with Avatar Korra. As we previously reported, Nisha was brought up in captivity with the White Lotus after she was separated from Pavi at a young age. However, Nisha was still living in relative comfort compared to Pavi. She is already known to possess the ability to bend all four elements and is trained in secret, like Korra, until she came of age. Karthik feels responsible for protecting her from the world and keeps her hidden her entire life. Karthik is expected to have a flashback episode in Season 2 about his upbringing in a world without the Avatar, as reported earlier. Nisha also has both her legs, compared to Pavi, who is an amputee. She is also way more outgoing and aggressive than Pavi and always ready for a fight, though not necessarily “evil” as some might suggest.
Finally, an energy storm hits the city when the two sisters meet. They are both given weird visions about their past, and that’s what kick-starts the remaining plot of the series. The two sisters are reunited and go on a journey with foe-turned-friend Jae to discover how they are both the Avatar and what really happened to Avatar Korra. They also both have identical cat-monkey animal companions, Geet and Ruhi. They are both voiced by returning voice actor Dee Bradley Baker. Geet is grey with white highlights, while Ruhi is black with grey highlights.
We were told by one source that they do both enter the Avatar State, but another source says they don’t remember that beyond the two girls bending the four elements. So it’s really up in the air about the Avatar State and should be taken as a rumor. Many fans have speculated that Raava/Vaatu have split into each of the sisters. However, the series may introduce a brand new reason why we have the first set of Avatar twins in history.
Avatar: Seven Havens is expected to debut on Paramount+ sometime in 2027
