The protagonist of the new series, Korra, the Avatar after Aang, is a hot-headed and rebellious young woman from the Southern Water Tribe who is 'ready to take on the world'.

Avatar Kurok is the shortest living Avatar, he died at the age of 33. This was caused by Avatar Yangchen, who neglected the spirits, because of this every time Angry Spirits invaded the world. When Kurok defeated them some of his life energy would be drained eventually killing him.
The last two dragons Aang and Zuko meet aren't named randomly. Ran roughly translates to 'burn' or 'ignite' in Chinese, and Shaw carries a similar meaning around blazing or combustion, which fits since the pair end up teaching the boys that firebending doesn't have to come from rage.
For years, everyone in the Fire Nation believed Iroh when he claimed to have killed the last dragon, a story that made him a war hero. It turns out he made the whole thing up to protect Ran and Shaw, the two remaining dragons hidden away by the Sun Warriors, letting the world think the species was extinct.
