Scarlett Quinn‘s Toph Beifong cosplay from Avatar: The Last Airbender is really amazing! Amaleigh Photography shot these fantastic photos. Toph is an earthbending master, one of the most powerful of her time. Blind since birth, Toph was constantly treated condescendingly because of her visual impairment, particularly by her overprotective parents. Upon discovering badgermoles, earthbending animals who are 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.
In Avatar: The Last Airbender the world is divided into four nations – the Water Tribe, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation and and the Air Nomads – each represented by a natural element for which the nation is named. Benders have the ability to control and manipulate the element from their nation. Only the Avatar is the master of all four elements. The ruthless Fire Nation wants to conquer the world but the only bender who has enough power, the Avatar, has disappeared… until now.
“I love fighting. I love being an earthbender, and I’m really, really good at it.” -Toph to her mother and father
