I feel like I haven't seen enough appreciation for Toph Beifong? So I'm going to fix that!

Toph learned earthbending at the age of 6 from the og earthbender— badgermoles!

When she was twelve years old, she became the champion of Earth Rumble VI and defeated SEVEN opponents.
She left all the comforts of her home to find freedom and to help Aang learn earthbending.
She defied her parents because she knew that the world needed the Avatar and without Toph, Aang would have a hard time finding another earthbending teacher ..
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW BADASS OF A TEACHER TOPH BEIFONG IS?!?

She's the same age as Aang, she's blind and Aang's opposite element is EARTH (bc he's an airbender), but she taught Aang the very basics of Earthbending IN ONE DAY

That's how good of a teacher she is!
The discussion of how awesome Toph Beifong is will not be complete without mentioning that she discovered metal bending when she was 12 years old— ON HER OWN AND LOCKED UP IN A CAGE.

Talk about metal!
