Toph Beifong

Toph Beifong is a member of the old Team Avatar and is Bolin's idol.

Appearance
She is a old woman with white hair and white eyes that tells her that she is blind and wears an clothing to the Earth Kingdom.

Personality
As a mother, Toph found herself to be a direct opposite of her parents, letting her daughters be free to find their own way, though Suyin claimed that Toph was not pleased with the paths either of her daughters had chosen.

She later admitted to her children that, while she knew she had not been the best parent, she was proud of the women they had become.

In old age, Toph retained her abrasive, no-nonsense personality, being harshly critical of Carter's abilities and enjoying defeating her in combat.

However, she had adopted a more cynical mindset about the impact actions make on their surroundings; she had realized that no matter how hard she tried, crime and injustice would never give up.

Although she had become more cynical in old age, she would allow herself to show affection when she deemed the other person worthy, as evidenced when she let Carter hug her after earning her respect and did not berate or try to stop Opal's embrace when they met again after several years of separation.

Bending & Abilities
Toph's proclamation of being the most powerful earthbender in the world is supported by her talented displays of earthbending since a young age.

Although blind, Toph's training in earthbending under the original earthbenders, the badgermoles, allowed her to use their unique ability of seismic sense: she used earthbending to "feel" even the most minute vibrations in the earth, including the march of ants several meters away and the presence of trees and buildings.

Through this heightened seismic sense, Toph could visualize where people were, their relative distance to her, and their physical build, but was unable to visualize faces.

This sense provided her with a distinct advantage when facing other earthbenders in combat, because she could predict attacks as they began and quickly react.

Her knowledge of the art also allowed her to teach it to others like Aang, and later her daughters, Lin and Suyin.

Her speed and agility were also greatly beneficial in combat.

Weapons
None.
