Asami

Asami is a core character created in the SimKorra Sims 3 save file, originally intended as a one-day joke with a segment of the Legend of Korra fandom during the hiatus between its first and second season. She was given a Japanese style school uniform and dropped into a custom-built high school along with Korra, Mako and Bolin, to have her autonomous actions observed by the game's Mod for one in-game day. Her actions were then documented in a handful of posts on tumblr. The characters' actions proved popular enough, the Mod created a separate blog and began documenting the characters' lives as the game evolved into a Legacy game. Asami is currently in one of the three households included in regular gaming rotation, and appears regularly throughout the blog.

Pre-Blog
Before the game's main events began to unfold, Asami spent one day visiting her old high school with her schoolmates, Korra, Mako and Bolin. As it was a new game, they were all neutral acquaintances without significant "backstory," with Mako and Bolin having a sibling relationship.

Asami took a while to socialize with her friends, retreating to a classroom for a few hours initially. She ultimately spent most of her day with the boys, but often followed and engaged in conversation with Mako , who she found attractive almost immediately. She had to compete for his attention with Korra, but when she managed to get his attention, her conversations with him were dotted with flirtatious interactions. When he was otherwise occupied, she spent her time with Bolin. She showed an early desire to have close friendships.

University
At the end of her first in-game day, following the blog's community feedback, Asami was enrolled in University along with Korra, Mako and Bolin. She was signed up for the technology degree, with the idea at the time that she might like to become an inventor and acquire a business degree later. It was at this time that Naga and Pabu were added to the household, however pets were not able to come to college and were left behind for the semester. The four friends were assigned to a co-ed dorm, with Korra as Asami's roommate. During their move-in, Asami decided she also found Bolin attractive and began flirting with him heavily.

Before the end of their weekend settling in, Korra was extended an invitation to a kegger, and Asami tagged along with Mako and Bolin. The kegger included a daring system, where individuals who accomplished their dares before the nights' end were given a §100 reward. Asami was dared to make out with someone at the party--she began to wish to kiss Bolin. Because autonomous kisses were not possible and would require Mod intervention, the community voted on her kiss attempts that could work up to her make out session. Asami attempted to kiss Bolin, but he became upset with her and it damaged their friendship. Later, Korra had become very drunk and attempted to kiss Asami, however an already-upset Asami rejected the kiss and their relationship was also soured. She was in a poor mood for a good portion of the party. But she ate with Mako and made amends with Korra and Bolin before they left the party.

The rest of Asami's time in university was dominated by her studies , with her passing her midterms handily. When she wasn't attempting to take care of her basic needs, she was often pushed by the Mod to stay on top of her homework. However, some further social developments did unfold: Asami continued to flirt with both Bolin and Mako, while the complexities of a "love quadrangle" unfolded. Both boys were attracted to Korra and Korra attracted to them. Asami wanted to kiss Mako, even though Korra and Mako's kiss lead to them becoming mutually interested in each other romantically. Asami waited until a night when she and Mako were isolated on a walk across campus, and successfully kissed him, becoming his second romantic interest.

After their kiss, Asami and Mako did not make significant romantic physical contact again throughout college--apparently due to Mako's conflicting feelings for both of the girls. Group outings were complicated, and often involved upset feelings on the part of at least one individual in the group. Asami also continued to attract the attention of other students on campus. Asami and Korra's relationship struggled in particular. While the girls had a few brief interactions, Asami was pursuing the same degree as Mako and therefore tended be with him much of the time. She flirted with him aggressively, however Mako seemed to prefer seeking out Korra's company , sharing frequent friendly   and flirtatious   encounters with her--sometimes leaving Asami to socialize with Bolin. On one occasion, Asami attended the Fall festival with Korra and Mako, but ended up becoming something of a third wheel to what ultimately became an unplanned date. She became tired and left the outing, and flirtatious pair, early.

Following finals, Asami and her dorm mates threw a Halloween party. Upon receiving her final grades, she was reported to have passed the semester with a B.

City Life and Relationships
At the end of the semester, the blog's community voted to end the Krew's time at university. As such, they were moved in together into a modified three-bedroom penthouse in Republic City (represented by MAXIS' Bridgeport). Naga and Pabu were able to join the game's activities. Asami was assigned to the Business career.

Asami's relationships with the Krew continued on mostly the same track as in college for about a month, due to the limited overlap in their schedules. One evening, Asami came home from work to find Korra and Mako embraced in a slow dance, and became hurt and angry with Mako, even though she was not in a committed relationship with him. Asami went out dancing with Bolin to take her mind off of things, but she still felt upset. Following a two week "cool down", in which Mako made very little effort to repair things with Asami, she decided she was no longer interested in pursuing him. Korra and Mako immediately began dating.

The changes in Krew relationship status altered the group chemistry, so to help them find a new balance the group was sent on a vacation to Ba Sing Se (China). There, the group was able to re-establish positive interactions with each other, usually through sparring matches. Asami started manifesting that she was "obsessed" with a mystery person, who turned out to be Bolin. It was on this trip that she was able to finally start re-establishing a productive relationship with Korra, although they still had a much lower rating compared to her relationships with the boys. Asami also received training from a sim fu master, and went skinny dipping with an identified male sim.

Following their trip, Bolin and Asami remained friends but occasionally engaged in romantic activities, such as stargazing together. On one occasion, Asami and Korra swapped beds for a night. On another, the group spent an evening at the winter festival together. Two weeks following their trip, the Krew threw a party to celebrate the new year and invited the friends they'd made from work. Mako and Korra ducked out of the party to have sex in Asami's bed, after which they socialized with her. Asami became friends with Korra and Mako for the evening's end. Bolin also kissed Asami under the mistletoe, with no change in their friendship.

Moving On
Following New Years, Asami maintained comfortable friendships with all three of her roommates, participating in activities like going to the bar with Bolin, Korra, and Mako's boss, Lin. Bolin met Korra's cousin, Eska, who Asami did not like. A few weeks later, Asami met a sim who later became Tahno, and made out with him on an impromptu date. In April, Bolin was invited to a party of a coworker he'd become infatuated with named Ginger, and he invited Asami to come with him. At the party, she met a Fire Nation general named Iroh, whom she immediately found attractive.

Two weeks later was Love Day, and Asami asked Iroh to attend the Spring Festival with her, where she romanced him with flowers in hope of receiving a kiss. However, when she tried to kiss him, the situation fell apart. At the end of April, she asked him out on a date at a local club, where she was determined to convince him to have sex with her , even though they were just friends. Based on community feedback, Asami invited Iroh to a hot tub where she was successful in her goal. She celebrated by dancing on a counter in the club lobby, and then returning to dance with him for the rest of the night.

In a twist of events, it came to light that Bolin had managed to get Ginger pregnant at the party where Asami met Iroh. Following community feedback, the Mod elected to "house swap" the Krew with Ginger's flatmates. This placed the Krew in a six bedroom penthouse that would enable them to continue could still living together while Bolin worked on his relationship with Ginger and prepare for their upcoming baby. The move took place about a month after Love Day, with Asami's room between Korra and Mako's shared room and Ginger's private room. While the Krew's dynamics continued mostly unchanged, Ginger proved to be a difficult personality to get along with. Asami was the first of Bolin's friends to meet Ginger, and immediately did not like her--berating Bolin for his ignorance on the situation.

Since Asami was the only officially single individual in the group, Naga began to share a bed with her for a period of time. Asami focused on her work and made a habit of reading on her spare time. In May and June, Korra contracted an illness and then began a period intense nausea and vomiting. The Mod sent the Krew on a vacation to the Fire Nation (Isla Paradiso). The trip played out in a similar fashion as their trip to the Earth Kingdom, with lots of fun, friendly interactions and activities. They rented a house boat and spent a lot of time in and on the ocean.

After returning home from their trip, the Krew went back to their regular routines and Korra continued to be sick on a frequent basis. A month and a half later met the onset of the Summer holiday, and the Krew went camping with Ginger and a romantic interest of Asami's, Iroh. While the trip involved fun activities, it was somewhat upset by Korra's "illness" becoming more violent as time wore on. Two weeks later, Korra and her friends were invited by her mother to an end-of-Summer party, where Korra realized during a conversation with her mother that she was pregnant. She soon informed Mako of the development and the two began nesting. She also informed Asami, who was similarly supportive.

About a month after notifying Mako of her pregnancy, Korra began to think about getting married. With the Mod's assistance, Mako proposed another month later, which she accepted. They visited her parents later that evening to reveal her pregnancy and attain permission to marry, which was granted. After polling the community, it was decided that Korra and Mako should marry before Winter. As such, Asami threw Korra a bachelorette party within two weeks, and the couple was married one month after that , on October 26th. The ceremony was a simple affair held in the living room of their apartment and attended by close friends and family.

Korra spent the next several months preparing for their baby with Mako. The blog's community got involved choosing the right name, and about two months later a partially-concealed ultrasound revealed the baby would be a girl to those who wanted to know beforehand. In the middle of the whirlwind, Korra was notified by her mom that she had also had an unplanned pregnancy and Korra would be having a baby sibling in the next few months.

Moving In
While Korra's pregnancy ultimately led to her and Mako's marriage, Bolin's relationship with Ginger continually deteriorated. Ginger officially ended her romantic relationship with Bolin sometime following the wedding, and about a month after giving birth to a boy named Nuktuk (born on December 30th), it was decided it didn't make sense for Ginger and Bolin to be living together. A custom apartment began to be built.

In Febuary, Korra and Mako moved into their own three-bedroom apartment, with Bolin and Asami living in the other two units in the complex. On March 5th, after a month in their new home, Korra gave birth to her and Mako's first baby girl, named Aruna. She threw herself back into work almost immediately (hoorah Waterbending healers??), establishing a "parenting shift" system with Mako that would be maintained for a few years: he worked in the mornings while she stayed home, then she would head out to her work while he took care of the home in the evening. While the system was mostly effective, Aruna was a bit of a mama's girl early on, and Korra seemed to struggle a little bit with maintaining the energy to do her job effectively. In one instance, while on call for evicting a troublesome spirit from Lin Beifong's home, she got caught up relaxing and watching TV when Lin stepped out. When Lin found her, she kicked Korra out of her house and fired her from the job.

About five weeks after her birth, Korra and Mako took Aruna to Love Day festival, where they presented her to her grandparents for the first time and got to check in on Senna, who was about five months pregnant with Korra's new sister.

Outside of this and supporting Asami while she planned her own wedding to Iroh, Korra's life started to find a rhythm balancing her Avatar duties with her newfound domesticity. She continued to devote mornings to motherhood and evenings to work, with Mako following the opposite pattern. While this meant they spent a good deal of time apart, they made good use of the time they did have together, spending a many of their earlier mornings , Mako's days off, and holidays together.

In the middle of June, Korra experienced a new bout of nausea. However, four weeks went by with only one other wave of sickness.

Marriage & Pregnancy
July 13th, Korra attended Asami and Iroh's lavish wedding with her family as part of the wedding party--it went off without a hitch. She then left Aruna with her parents while she and Mako travelled with Asami and Iroh on a double honeymoon to the Earth Kingdom (France), on which Bolin also tagged along. The trip was simple, with Korra and Mako visiting musems and tombs together. While exploring a barrow, the topic of having a second child was brought up by Mako. They also spent some time with Bolin, Asami and Iroh sampling drinks.

Upon returning home, it was discovered Bolin had acquired a female roommate named Debbie, who Korra would not get along with. A couple days following their return was the Summer festival. Korra seemed to still be recovering from the trip, as she began to feel ill again. While she attended the festival with her family, Iroh and Asami, she mostly took it easy and tended to five-month-old Aruna. To top it off, she napped when she came home, and watched the stars with her husband.

At the end of the first week of August, Korra's parents called to announce that she, at just short of 22 years old, was now a big sister to new-born Malina. Nuktuk moved back in with Bolin for his six month custody turn, and Korra began tending him alongside Runi (petname coined by Mako for Aruna) for a few hours during the day while Bolin, Mako, Iroh and Asami all went to work. This resulted in Nuktuk beginning to bond with Korra as his favorite guardian of the household.

Within 20 days following these events, after another surge of nausea, Korra realized she was pregnant with her and Mako's second baby. She informed Mako after he came home for work, and they both affirmed their hopes for a boy. They got an ultrasound a few weeks later, although the result was kept partially concealed from the blog's community to enable a surprise birth for those who wanted it.

In the Fall, due to her questionable behavior around the children, Korra finally snapped at Debbie, who was then kicked out of Bolin's apartment. And once Malina turned two months old, Korra and Mako took seven-month-old Aruna to meet her for the first time. In October, the Krew co-hosted a holiday feast, prepared with decorated pumpkins and candy. The party included lots of friends and avatars of blog followers. A couple weekends later, Korra attended a follow-up party with Mako at the tumblr household, however not much happened besides Korra watching TV and Mako getting cornered into talking about unicorns with the host.

The end of Fall signaled Korra and Mako's first wedding anniversary, and the pair checked into a resort out of the city. Asami and Bolin watched Aruna while Mako and Korra were away, however they struggled with carrying for her.

The onset of winter cozied and slowed things down a bit. In late November, a now-expectant Asami invited Korra out for a pregnant ladies' night at the arcade that ended up pretty low-key. Iroh's work changed to a night shift, and. Asami attended Nuktuk's first birthday party with her family, and continued to care for him alongside Runi through the year's end.

Family Life
2004 was welcomed with a gift exchange party with extended family. She maintained friendly relationships with Korra and Mako. Additionally, Bolin continued to make passes at Asami when they were alone, which Asami accepted, while maintaining her relationship with her husband. However, someone (potentially her mother-in-law, who had been visiting for the past few weeks) had noticed Asami's overly "friendly" interactions with Bolin, and in March Iroh found out about her behavior through the rumor mill. While her interactions with Bolin had never continued past flirtations and hugs, the emotional betrayal hurt Iroh, and the two were on rough terms for the next two months. In that time, Iroh and Bolin both avoid contact with her , although loneliness was able to be abated by Korra making and check in on her and her baby. Korra also coached her through some exercises she could do while six months pregnant.

In April, Bolin began to flirt with her again, and she quietly resumed accepting it. Her maid began to take pictures during one of Asami's conversations with Bolin, and was "revealed" to be the snitch. She was fired a little later. At the end of the month, Asami received a party invitation from Ginger, however she did not make it over.

My the first week of May, Iroh forgave Asami of her indiscretions and the two returned to being on speaking terms. For a brief period, their marriage status was up in the air , but they ultimately worked things out. Asami continued to do well at her work, despite being in her third trimester, and received two raises during this month, which raised her paycheck significantly. In June, Asami resumed having sex with her husband. On the 14th, after being unable to sleep the night before, Asami slept in til noon and went into work. In the middle of her shift, her water broke, and by that evening Asami had given birth to a baby boy named Zuko , after Iroh's grandfather. Korra hired a butler named Camilla to help out with their babies and puppies as a live-in nanny, and Asami took some time off from work. While she quickly settled into the tasks motherhood, taking care of Zuko with responsiveness, she found the new role somewhat stressful. Asami attended a celebrity pool party with her family, courtesy of Bolin , however it was mostly uneventful--she left early. In spite of the difficulties motherhood was presenting, Asami decided she would like to have a second child at some point. This development hay have been influenced by the way Camilla was able to help with relieve the childcare burden.

In July, Asami took a new round of family photos with her husband and son, and invited Iroh's mother and grandfather over to meet the baby--unfotunately, Iroh's mother wasn't interested. A few weeks later, she attended a masquerade hosted by Bolin.

Nuktuk moved back in with his father for the half-year, and the adults took the opportunity to continue their annual tradition of a trip abroad, this time to Whaletail Island (Roaring Heights). They dolled up in themed attire, visited the beach, museum and gym  , gambled a little, had a swanky dinner , made out, and attended a carnival. Korra censured Asami after noticing her being too flirtatious with Bolin.

In mid-September, A cold that Nuktuk brought into the home spread to the other children and adults, so a doctor's visit was arranged for the entire household. Two weeks later, Bolin set Korra and Mako's kitchen on fire, and Asami and Korra helped put the flames out when he was too busy screaming and falling asleep. Asami got a junker car to repair for a hobby. The fall was ended with a costume party, during which Korra and Mako slipped away for a go in Asami's car.
