However, when Tenzin expressed his joy over having his siblings around, as it reminded him of all the vacations they took as children with their dad, Kya grew annoyed, reminding him that she and Bumi were never part of those vacations. When it was discovered that Ikki had run away, Kya suggested that she and her two brothers would search for her together. Some days later, Kya was conversing with Pema when Ikki and Meelo came into the dining hall to show Daw and two new airbenders around the premises, and later on, her youngest niece excitedly announced the arrival of another airbender to her, Yorru. Having arrived at the Eastern Air Temple, Kya engaged in a discussion with her older brother, calling him out to be a liar for claiming that he once won a rock-throwing contest against an earthbender. However, before they could embark on the tour of the temple, Korra arrived, pleasantly surprising everyone.<\/p>\n
She and Bumi were subsequently advised by Tenzin to get some rest, who offered to take first watch. One TikToker garnered over 2 million views with a video captioned, “me if I ever hear the words ‘cooking with kya’ come from my man phone.” Another posted a comedy video where she bakes her man some mac and cheese, claiming to be inspired by Kya. Badly injured, Kya and Bumi were found by the Red Lotus and taken to a cave-complex a few miles away from the temple along with the rest of the temple’s inhabitants, where they were all shackled to the floor by their wrists. After Team Avatar burst through the wall and rescued them, she was hoisted up and supported by Otaku and a female airbender to make it outside, where she was placed against a rock from which she could spectate the battle between Korra and Zaheer.<\/p>\n
Witnessing Bumi’s struggle to get down, she mockingly called up to him that he had been right to say that descending the waterfall was faster though grew worried as the retired commander slipped and fell the entire way down into the water. As the three siblings wandered the Spirit World, Bumi futilely called out for Jinora’s spirit. He suggested that they employ his tracking skills, but Kya disproved his plan by pointing out that spirits may not even leave footprints. She instead tried meditating before pointing off to her left, claiming that Jinora was in the direction of the spiritual energy she was sensing, but Bumi refuted that there was spiritual energy in every direction. Tenzin decided they needed a spirit guide, but the dark spider spirit he attempted to recruit was not exactly friendly, chasing the trio off a cliff.<\/p>\n
Another user gave his girlfriend food he learned to make from Kya Renee\u2019s videos, to cheer her up. However, she immediately got frustrated and refused to eat it after he admitted to learning from the content creator. Content creator Cooking with Kya has been blowing up on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram for her cooking content and unique style of swaying her hips while presenting her food to viewers. After several reports spread of airbenders appearing throughout the Earth Kingdom, Kya watched as Asami landed a Future Industries airship on the island in order to take Tenzin, Bumi, Jinora, and the rest of Team Avatar to Ba Sing Se.<\/p>\n
While lost, Kya and her brothers were approached by Iroh, who offered to guide them out of the forest. Kya reassured Jinora that Tenzin was not mad at her, merely jealous over her ability to connect with spirits in a way that he could not. After they apologized to each other, Kya and her brothers reminisced over a family photo that their mother had given to her.<\/p>\n
She, alongside her mother, awaited the arrival of her brothers at the dock, eagerly greeting Jinora. Assuring that she had missed her niece, Kya stated that Tenzin did not bring his family around nearly enough. As she greeted her younger brother, she playfully put forward Tenzin’s fear of her as the reason why they never visited, though Tenzin responded that he was not afraid of her anymore. She wrote on X (previously Twitter), how Kya Renee exposed women\u2019s \u201chypocrisy\u201d in the \u201cworst way\u201d and called them out for bullying her.<\/p>\n
Overwhelmed by the extra attack force, Kya was pushed back into the temple, where she ended up back to back with Bumi, both panting heavily. After being rounded up in one of the temple’s courtyards with everyone else, Kya comfortingly held Opal while Zaheer told them they would be used as leverage to get to Korra and would be unharmed as long as they cooperated. After Tenzin blew back Zaheer, Ming-Hua, and Ghazan, Kya was asked to fight alongside her brothers in an attempt to give the others time to flee the temple.<\/p>\n
As the dragonfly bunny spirits appeared on Jinora’s urging, much to everyone’s amazement, Kya corrected Tenzin’s earlier statement that Jinora was allegedly too young to know about spiritual matters. Throughout December, numerous memes have popped up on X \/ Twitter and TikTok about Cooking With Kya. Many of these memes depict men going crazy for Kya, including dancing and singing when she starts chanting her intro song. Some of these memes use videos of men complimenting their partner’s cooking alongside captions like, “Me if I ever get a plate from cookingwithkya.”<\/p>\n
