Ruins of the Empire Part Three (chronological & release order) Grabbing hold of her son, they launched themselves into the air as well and managed to return to the safety of their defensive circle. Exiting the tunnel, Suyin was delighted to be reunited with her daughter, whom she warmly embraced. She explained her agreement with Lin was just to let half-sibling hear what she wanted to hear, instead being a ploy to buy them time to begin their search. Together with Lin, Suyin destroyed the loading mechanism of Kuvira's spirit energy cannon from within. Suyin found Kuvira levitating a sharp piece of metal, ready to kill Guan, but advised her to stop, telling her that his death would not solve anything, nor would it give Kuvira peace.
As an engineer in Zaofu, Baatar Jr. worked closely with his father.

Jinora told Suyin the poison was metallic, prompting the metalbender to rush over and feel for the substance. Suyin assured her Korra was fine and was waiting to hear word on if she tracked down Aiwei. However, Baatar Jr. entered, noting that if he could restore Asami's mind, then he could use the knowledge to free the brainwashed citizens, Kuvira and Suyin adding that Guan would lose all support once they realized what he did to them, leading to Toph's victory, which her mother sarcastically cheered. Suyin was immediately threatened by four soldiers, though Wei came to her rescue by catapulting them into the air. At dawn, the imprisoned Suyin, Wei, and Wing were placed on the front line of the army by Kuvira during her negotiations with Korra, Opal, and Jinora. No longer able to keep calm, Lin attacked Suyin, and the latter decided to counterattack, sparking a full-fledged duel.
She promptly rushed over to Opal and hugged her, though was pushed away by an eager Bolin, much to her annoyance. After dinner, Suyin found Korra observing a model of Zaofu in her office, and explained why she built the city.
[1] At some point after her retirement as police chief, Toph began visiting Suyin often and during one such occasion reconciled with her daughter, though they were both disappointed that Lin refused their invitation to do the same.[5].
When asked by the Avatar how she knew Lin, Suyin revealed that the two were sisters, which Lin later clarified as half-sisters. Later that day, Suyin and Lin made their way to Aiwei's house after hearing an explosion. As Kuvira resumed her rampage, Suyin saved her sister and twin sons from being crushed by debris by erecting an earth tent for cover. Unsure as to how they got in, Suyin declared they would not escape. Although her husband, Baatar, stated he would contact President Raiko to receive help from the United Forces, Suyin did not particularly see the point in that as Kuvira had already arrived with the full force of her army. Aiwei quickly informed her that the Avatar had lied about how many people were in her group.
She soon noticed the metal neck plating around her gown being pulled along with the rest of their dishes, and she ducked as the latter went toward Varrick's magnetic suit.
Both sisters and Toph eventually reconciled, after she was able to acknowledge that she wasn't the best mother, but was nonetheless proud of the women that they had become.
The metalbender subsequently apologized for giving Lin a hard time when they were younger, unable to imagine her life without having been sent away, chuckling at her sibling's joke that she would be in prison.

Suyin devised a plan to retrieve Korra without the need to cross Ghazan's lava moat. She watched as her half-sibling walked away to decide to try.[8].
The next morning, Suyin watched as Aiwei interrogated the guards on duty and even Varrick. After Kuvira's declaration of usurping power in the Earth Kingdom, Suyin confronted her about it as the representative of the world leaders. Suyin was knocked unconscious, however, when she was thrown against the metal wall as Kuvira ripped the arm off the suit and tossed it away; Lin saved them both from being flung free by bending the interior wall around them to strap them in. Suyin and Lin reacted differently to not knowing the identity of their fathers; Suyin builds herself a family and a legacy to replace the one she lacked, and Lin strove to compensate for the distance from her mother by following in Toph's footsteps, becoming the police chief of Republic City.
Two weeks later on Air Temple Island, Suyin joined her half-sister, Tenzin and his family, Korra's parents, Lord Zuko, and President Raiko, watching as Asami brought out a debilitated Korra. When Korra stated any effort would be in vain because Zaheer would wipe out the airbenders upon sighting the team, Suyin stated her sympathy with her because of the danger posed to Opal. Hannah enjoys weird horror movies, weirder sci-fi movies, and also the movie adaptation of Need for Speed - the greatest video game movie of all time.

With Bolin not so sure about his own desire to learn the art, Suyin kept an offer open for him. Lin Beifong spends most of The Legend of Korra coming to terms with a strained relationship with her mother, Toph Beifong - struggling with her childhood frustrations over Toph's parenting style, and her refusal to tell Lin the identity of her father.

Before she could explain how she had escaped her imprisonment, Bolin relayed a brief overview of the event and Zhu Li announced that Kuvira planned to attack Republic City in two weeks.
Kuvira told her that she should be the sorry one, and thanked Suyin for taking her in and never abandoning her even at her worst. The Zaofu matriarch took the Avatar on a walk, during which she was asked how her relationship with Kuvira had grown sour. She finally tells Lin his name is Kanto, but who exactly is he? Afterward, she explained that the rest of the group was set up for their stay while insisting that Korra train Opal. She was even able to keep up with younger opponents such as Kuvira,[15] herself a highly skilled metalbender, and dodge multiple combustion blasts from P'Li. [7] Suyin is willing to do whatever it takes to keep those that she holds dear safe, as she attempted to take out Kuvira on her own despite Korra's efforts at negotiating a peaceful solution. Finally, Suyin introduced them to an excited Opal, though when Lin grew impatient to leave with the airbender, Suyin described her half-sister as "the woman apparently trying to abduct [her]".
Suyin claimed that she had been trying to mend relations, to which Lin responded by accusing Suyin of tearing the family apart, prompting Suyin to counter that Lin had kept it that way.
The following day at breakfast, Suyin expressed her disapproval with her sister's behavior toward Opal. She reported that they had not had any luck so far and voiced her worries about her daughter, prompting Lin to comfort her. Following their difficult childhoods and uncertainty about their fathers, both of Toph's daughters rejected their mother. Lin snaps back that growing up without a father and never discussing him has weighed heavily on her, and although she had thought about reaching out to her mother many times over the years, seeing Toph again reminded her of why she hadn't. While Suyin's group was slowly climbing the mountain, Mako radioed Lin to inform them of the Red Lotus' double-cross. Opal asked her mother how she could have a soft spot for Kuvira after all she put their family through, but Suyin simply told her that it was not the right time to ask. Suyin brought Opal, Wei, and Wing on an airship to pick up Kuvira. She had her men continue to contact the temple while awaiting the arrival of the team's airship. As such, while standing atop a building and working together with Lin and Bolin, Suyin severed the top stories of a large building and toppled it on Kuvira's mecha suit. She was present through the multiple unsuccessful attempts to free Asami's mind. Suyin and Lin fired large slabs of rock at the combustionbender while dodging her dangerous attacks.
Suyin briefly watched how her sister took on their assailant, before turning to the cannon's loading mechanism and tear down the chain containing the spirit vine power cores with her bending, causing the capsules to explode within the arm.
The two of them fought side-by-side in the final battle against Fire Lord Ozai, and Sokka shielded Toph's body with his own when it seemed like they were about to die. She also told the rest of the group about his ability to fly. Lin was relentless in trying to impress Toph, one of the world's greatest earthbenders, and while doing so became the police chief of Republic City.
