#AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER BOOK 2 THE BLIND BANDIT SERIES#
Her design became a subject of difficulty for the staff, who wanted her to return to the size of her twelve-year-old self from the original series despite flashbacks in the earlier part of The Legend of Korra showing her as having grown in height. In the following season, she was meant to serve as a foil to Korra with her "gruff mentoring style" contrasting the reserved Korra. Toph was favored by the creators to return in The Legend of Korra after the appearances of both Katara and Zuko, DiMartino writing that it "never quite made sense" for there to be a trip to the swamp, where she was located, during the third season. Toph uses a unique fighting style of earthbending, based on the Southern Praying Mantis style. Her fancy dress was modeled after the traditional clothing of the Chinese Tang dynasty. Her Earth Rumble outfit, the clothing she wears for the majority of Avatar: The Last Airbender, was inspired by European fashion styles. Her original design greatly influenced the appearance of Bolin in The Legend of Korra. The character's original design was recycled into the appearances of minor characters The Boulder and Sud. Following several long discussions, Konietzko stopped fighting the idea and warmed up to it, after which Toph was made female and introduced into the series, becoming one of Konietzko's favorite characters. As the series progressed and the time came closer to the introduction of an earthbender that would join the main characters and die later on, head writer Aaron Ehasz introduced the idea of a little girl being able to defeat strong and muscular adult earthbenders, which though found humorous by some of the staff, was initially rejected by Avatar co-creator Bryan Konietzko. Toph was initially conceived as a sixteen-year-old boy that was athletic and muscular, designed to be a foil to Sokka. 2.2.6 Toph Beifong's Metalbending AcademyĬharacter overview Creation and conception.2.2 Avatar: The Last Airbender comic series.2.1 Avatar: The Last Airbender television series.Toph proves herself a steadfast ally to Avatar Aang and eventually Avatar Korra. Toph is shown to have an abrasive, conceited and sometimes stubborn personality which leads to clashes with her peers. She is introduced in the second season of Avatar, and travels with the protagonist Aang as his earthbending teacher. Toph has been blind since birth, but due to her extensive earthbending skills, she can locate objects and their movements by sensing their vibrations in the earth around her. She eventually becomes the first person to develop the ability to "bend" metal as well. Because she was blind, her parents had a tutor who taught her only basic earthbending but she learned more advanced earthbending secretly from the badgermoles. Toph is an extremely talented and masterful earthbender-i.e., she has the ability to telekinetically manipulate, reshape and control stone, sand, dirt, and, later, metal. Toph Beifong ( Chinese: 北方拓芙 pinyin: Běifāng Tuòfú) is a fictional character in Nickelodeon's animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, voiced by Jessie Flower in the original series and Kate Higgins and Philece Sampler in the sequel series.
