Avatar: The Last Airbender - Adult Toph by ag121798 on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

As said before this is my take on the Avatar-world and therefor isn’t cartoon accurate. My Toph is based on the Vietnamese actress Ngo Thanh Van.

! I’m basing Kyoshi Island on Japan, the Earth Kingdom / Ba Sing Se on China, some villages of the Earth Kingdom are based on Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, and other Asiatic countries, the Sandbender Tribes on the Arabic world (non-Islam), the Water Tribes on native tribes (incl. Sami, Inuit, Native American, Yupik, Polynesian, Aboriginal, Sakha, Yakut, etc.) with influences of Mongolia, Siberia, Italy, and Kazachtstan, the Air Nomads on Buddhist Shaolin soldier monks, Tibetan and Buddhist culture, and India, and the Fire Nation on the German Empire, Italy, and the Third Reich with influences of Imperial Japan, Scandinavia, Kazachstan, the Ottoman Empire, and China.AVATAR: The Last Airbender / AVATAR: The Legend of Korra

STORY

Toph is an earthbending master and the only child of the wealthy Beifong family from Gaoling. She is born blind and therefor her parents sheltered her, believing her blindness made her fragile and incapable of doing anything by herself. Their extreme measures included hiding her existence from the rest of the world, which resulted in very few people knowing that Lao and Poppy Beifong had a daughter.

At the age of six she ran away from home and hid in a cave which happened to be inhabited by badgermoles. Badgermoles were the first earthbenders and according to Toph she felt that they understood each other as they both were blind. It’s from these badgermoles that she learned earthbending by imitating their movements, in this way she learned to “see” through the use of earthbending by detecting people and other objects through their vibrations which she sensed through the ground via her bare feet.

Toph her parents expected her to be well-mannered and proper due to their noble status in the Earth Kingdom society, she secretly disagreed and resents her parents’ treatment. Toph’s father Lao Beifong later hired an earthbender teacher named Master Yu to teach her beginner’s moves, unaware that she had already achieved mastery in the art.

Toph secretly entered underground earthbending tournaments under the alias of the Blind Bandit. She was the champion of the Earth Rumble VI until meeting Aang, who defeated her by using airbending. After their encounter she soon ran away in order to teach him earthbending, but also to escape her parents, who never granted her any real freedom. Believing the Avatar kidnapped his daughter, Lao Beifong payed Master Yu and Xin Fu to bring her back home.

Toph travelled with Aang and the group across to world, so he can master the elements. She and Team Avatar helped Aang to halt the Fire Nation’s ambition of world domination and ending the century-long war to finally restore balance to the world.

After the war Toph went on many more adventures with her friends and eventually helped create the Republic of Nations.

Toph developed a unique style of earthbending and discovered metalbending. After the Harmony Restoration, she opened a school to teach earthbenders her unique and powerful bending style. Toph went on to serve as the first Chief of Police in the capital of the Republic of Nations called Republic City. She formed a special police unit to help maintain order. The metalbending police force are more specialized than standard police officers. Toph has two daughters with two different men. Her first daughter named Lin never knew her father Kanto. Her second daughter Suyin on the other hand has an estranged relationship with her father Tuan.

Duo to Toph’s restrictive freedom growing up, she gave her children all the freedom they wanted to find their own path. This caused rivalry between her daughters while Lin was seeking their mothers attention, Suyin lacked discipline. Lin followed in her mothers footsteps and joined the metalbending police force, while her sister became a rebel and eventually a criminal.

Toph is the one who arrested Yakone and stood guard during his trail. After Sokka found him guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment for his crimes, Yakone bloodbended everyone present during the trail in the courtroom.

Toph’s lack of discipline for her daughters would eventually catch up with her when Lin arrested Suyin for major theft, resisting arrest and aggravating assault on a police officer. Suyin while resisting arrest unintentionally scared her sisters face for life, this is when the metalbending police force took her down with extreme force, later the sisters were brought into Toph’s office. The scandal had already erupted, Toph who wanted to protect her daughter made her persona non grata in Republic City and sent her away to her parents to avoid trail. Toph than stepped down as Chief of Police and focused on teaching again in her school.

Later Lin herself became Chief of Police and Suyin travelled the world and eventually build a metal city called Zaofu. Toph and Suyin later reconciled, though Lin refused to participate. Toph would visit Zaofu from time to time.

After the murder of Avatar Aang by the Red Lotus, he is reincarnated into the new Avatar, Korra. Toph only met Korra once as a child, after the attempted kidnapping, in the Water Tribe Compound where Korra would eventually grow up, away from the public eye. Toph was very much against the idea of locking the new Avatar up and giving her restrictive freedom under supervision, as this reminded her of her own childhood. At the age of 78 she travelled the world in search of enlightenment and has not been seen until she found Avatar Korra passed out in the Foggy Swamp.
