Much like her mother, Lin's personality is described as tough, uncompromising and blunt. Tenzin ultimately married, while Lin remained unmarried. However, their romantic relationship ended, partially because Tenzin wanted children while Lin did not and partially because of Lin's abrasive nature. Tenzin offered Lin comfort and a higher level of trust was reached between the two. At one point when they were younger, the two characters were romantically involved. Lin has a longstanding friendship with Tenzin, who is a son of Aang and Katara.

However, throughout the course of the series' run she warmed up to Korra. Despite the fact that her mother was friends with the previous Avatar, Lin initially was decidedly antagonistic towards Avatar Korra, at one time interrogating the lead character. She learned these techniques under the hard tutelage of her mother. Like Toph, Lin also has the ability to sense movements around her through mechanoreception. Like her mother, Lin is able to both manipulate the classical element of earth, which is known as earthbending and its sub-ability to manipulate metal, which is termed metalbending. Lin Beifong is the Chief of Police of Republic City and the daughter of Toph Beifong, who once held the same position.

Lin is the older of Toph's two daughters. Lin's mother, Toph Beifong, greatly aided the previous avatar, Aang, in his efforts to save the Earth Kingdom from destruction. The character and the series, a sequel to Avatar: The Last Airbender, were created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. Lin Beifong ( 北方琳, Běifāng Lín) is a fictional major character, voiced by Mindy Sterling, in Nickelodeon's animated television series The Legend of Korra, which aired from 2012 to 2014. 51 in Book Two: Spirits and Book Three: Change
