What is the name of the pro-bending team that Korra joins?

The story behind the answer

The pro-bending team Korra joins is the Fire Ferrets. The team consists of brothers Mako and Bolin, with Mako as the firebender and Bolin as the earthbender. Korra becomes their waterbender after their original teammate, Hasook, fails to appear.

Pro-bending is Republic City’s popular spectator sport, built around teams of three benders. Competitors use controlled blasts of water, earth, and fire to force opponents backward across a ring. Korra initially treats the sport as a distraction from airbending training, but she quickly discovers that its footwork and rapid reactions complement her fighting style.

The Fire Ferrets also give Korra her first close friendships in Republic City. Their teammateship is strained by her rivalry with Mako and by the pressure of competition, but the trio eventually reaches the championship match. The team’s name is a reference to the small fire-ferret animal associated with Bolin’s pet, Pabu.

The Fire Ferrets are often confused with the Wolfbats, their powerful championship opponents, or with Team Avatar, the larger group formed later.
