Toph Beifong

## How Toph Beifong joined the Tourney

Toph Beifong is an earthbending master, one of the most powerful of her time, and the discoverer of metalbending. Blind since birth, Toph was constantly treated condescendingly because of her disability, particularly by her overprotective parents, Lao and Poppy Beifong. Upon discovering badgermoles, earthbending animals who were also blind, she learned how to use earthbending as an extension of her senses. This gave her the ability to "see" every vibration that passes through the ground.

Having developed her own unique style of earthbending, Toph acquired a toughened personality and became famous for winning underground earthbending tournaments under the name "The Blind Bandit", doing so behind her parents' backs. Although initially uninterested in directly aiding the war effort, she eventually chose to leave behind her old life, and travel with Avatar Aang and his friends as his earthbending teacher, when her parents finally became unbearable for her. Toph's total mastery over earthbending, unique personality, and thoughtful pragmatism made her a valuable addition to the team.

While practicing her metalbending at an abandoned factory one day, she received a notice about the second Smash Bros. Tourney. To her surprise, it was given to her by a man who has a family of his own to protect, Seth. She forms Team Metalsword to consist of herself, Chameleon June, Phoebe, Reina and Jacqui Briggs, hoping to use the winning funds to start her own metalbending dojo.
