    Toph was my favorite character when she came in.
    The second I heard Toph say something, I was in love. Jk, When she walked out and they had those women that were twice the size of her, I laughed so hard. Oh, good times, good times.

    King Bumi said Aang needed a teacher who waited for the right time to strike. Aang chose Toph because she was blind and knew when to strike. If she wasn't blind, there is a possibility she wouldn't be Aang's teacher. However, if Toph still knew when to strike even though she wasn't blind, than she could have become Aang's teacher.

    yea toph can do wat she wants, as long she has earth under her feet
    you people think her parents will come and get her in book 3? or shall they accept that toph does what she wants to?

    Taking away toph's blindness would be like taking away a part of her.?? You see, a person's character is formed from the experiences he/she goes through in life.?? That's what makes us different from every other person.?? Personally, i think that she "sees" better than most people.?? I actually wouldn't mind being blind if it meant i'd be able to see through earthbending...

    So in short, a toph who could see would no longer be toph at all, but a different person altogether.

    She wouldn't be able to detect as many sounds and feelings from the earth, thus making her like any other earth bender.

    there would be no point in making toph a character if she wasnt blind. although, she would still be a very good earthbender since she was being taught by master yu. she would not have been thought of as "helpless" by her parents and would have been a very good earthbender after being taught mby a great earthbender, master yu

    she would be a acepted earthbender, everyone thinks she is helpless and needs help from others cuz she is blind...
    could she ever see someday?? and can she actually see things in her mind??

    Well, you know, I gotta say, if she wasn't blind, I don't think she'd have as big a fanbase as she does now. Although, she'd still have that awesome bun and attitude. At least I would HOPE her attitude's still there.

    Like someone said, I wouldn't mind being blind if I could 'see' like Toph does either, but then again, there are quite a few things that only real sight can see.

    As long as Toph still had her bun and attitude, she'd still be at the top of my list, with Azula as a much closer second.

    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!!! If Toph wasn't blind, it would ruin her character! She kicks so much @$$ because she is blind! Damn you. Jk! But seriously, not cool.

    yeah i agree with mike...Toph is very strong and a powerful earth bender due to the fact that she gets her strength from being blind...it would ruin her character.

    Toph is a great character.?? Her being blind gives her so many abilities.?? Probably the best ability she has is making all of us laugh when she tells one of her blind jokes.?? I still laugh everytime I see the Library episode and she is like, "There it is!"?? Then when everyone looks she says, "That is what it will sound like when one of you spot it."?? **Wipes a tear from my eye after laughing**?? Man that is such a funny part because I even believed her at first.

    Her parents may come back, but there's NO way her father would except that fact without a LOT of convincing.
