"Vietnamese Comics" - Have you ever heard this word?

It has been so a long time since the last Vietnamese magazine for comics was postponed being published with the regret of billions of readers, all of them retired to practise more and more together with the hope that they will reappear one day. But the long-draw-out disapperance of Vietnamese Comics seems to make us feel the void, even discouragement. So, in order to follow the spirit of the Indepandence Day of Socialist Republic of Vietnam 2/9, commemorate the 1st Birthday of VNComicFarm - a community reserved only for Vietnamese Comics, simultaneously to congratulate the Collection of Vietnam's Arts ([link]) is ranked among the top collections of DA several days, to stir the air of Vietnamese Comics' friends up, DeviantArt Vietnamese Community and VNComicFarm co-ordinate to hold:

Toph Bei Fong

`Karma021:iconKarma021: reports, January 25, 2007


* Nationality: Earth Kingdom
* Aliases: The Blind Bandit
* Gender: Female
* Hair color: Black
* Eye color : Pale green (blind)
* Age: 12
* Position: Earthbending Master (Chu Gar Southern Praying Mantis Style)

Toph Bei Fong (北方 托芙;) is a fictional character in the Nickelodeon animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. She is a blind earthbending master who has agreed to teach Aang earthbending to help him fulfill his duty as the Avatar, and to restore balance to the world by defeating the imperialistic Fire Nation.

She is an in-your-face, snarky 12-year old, and a master Earthbender. She was born blind, but can "see" with her feet by feeling the vibrations on the ground. She is the only daughter of the Bei Fong family, who are extremely wealthy. However, her parents believed her to be fragile, tiny, and helpless, so they hid her from the world. Most of the people in town did not even know she existed, except for Master Yu the local Earthbending teacher. Toph had private lessons for years where she was only taught basic Earthbending forms and breathing exercises. But Toph was stronger than that and trained on her own.

Toph is the one and only child of the wealthy Bei Fong family, who resides in the Earth Kingdom town of Gaoling and whose symbol is a flying boar. Toph's parents are very protective of her, viewing her blindness as a disability in every sense of the word. They assume that she is weak and vulnerable to everything around her. To avoid risk and danger, they kept her at the beginner level of earthbending for over six years. They had guards keep close watch on her at all times and kept the knowledge of her existence from the public.

Despite her handicap, Toph has developed special skills that make her a very formidable Earthbender. However, she kept them secret from her family and Master Yu, her earthbending teacher. Toph fought frequently in Earth Rumble, an underground earthbending lei tai tournament, under the alias "The Blind Bandit." By the time Aang and his friends discover Toph at the tournament, she had won her way to become the current champion, then holding a 42-0 win-loss record.

The Bei Fong family appears to be well-known and influential in the Earth Kingdom. In the episode "The Serpent's Pass," Toph's merely showing her family's seal was sufficient to gain passage on a Ba Sing Se-bound ferry, despite having lack of proper documentation to obtain a ticket normally.

Toph's hometown, Gaoling (高陵;) (which means "tall hill"), is also a name of a county in Shannxi, a central province in China.
