Toph Beifong is
one of the main characters in Avatar the Last Airbender. A rich, blind
daughter; she learns how to earth-bend from a group of badger moles. From this,
she overcomes her blind disability by seeing through detecting objects and
people through vibrations she feels through her feet. She has also developed a
keen sense of hearing. Toph goes on a journey with the Avatar to teach him earthbending
skills and learns how to metal bend (the purest form of Earth) in the process.
Having been
born into a prestigious family, Toph was expected to act as according to her
noble status; well-mannered and proper. However, she overturns this expected
role becoming a most formidable opponent/ally, choosing a rougher attitude over
a gentle demeanor and having a sense of humour that pokes fun at herself. She
cares little for her appearance since she cannot see and this makes Toph an
incredibly important female representative as her character is shown to
overturn the female stereotypes yet she can still be one of the most loved
people in the series.
