'''Toph Beifong''' is a character from Nickelodeon's ''Avatar'' franchise. She made her official debut in ''Avatar: The Last Airbender'' second season episode ''The Blind Bandit'', where she was introduced as a blind but talented earthbender fighting in an underground tournament. Recognizing her abilities, [[Aang]] convinces Toph to join his party as his earthbending teacher, but she initially refuses because of her overprotective parents. After the party visits the Beifong estate and enters conflict with the tournament's organizer and wrestlersfighters, Toph decides to help Aang's party, and latereventually joins the group. Toph later appears in the sequel show ''The Legend of Korra'' as an elderly woman and earthbending mentor to the [[Korra|titular character]].
 
In spite of her blindness and young age, Toph is one of the most powerful earthbenders in the ''Avatar'' universe, with a tough-as-nails personality to boot. She relies on sensing the vibrations under her feet to perceive the world. Toph's blindness is often the subject of many jokes in the show, especially at the expense of [[Sokka]], the group's resident comic relief. Her primary traits make her a very interesting character for many fans; as a result she consistently ranks among the series' most popular characters.
