Hmm, it's been a year or so since I watched Avatar, so you may be correct about Toph. Although it may be that she could fight differently due to her blindness (i.e. by feel rather than sight), and she was apparently super-awesome at Earthbending to begin with. For example, I don't think she could have become a Metalbender under any circumstances unless she was already really freaking excellent Earthbender. Although, again, it's been a while since I saw the show, so I may be misremembering her backstory. Oh no, now I'll have to watch Avatar again! Horrors!
