Toph Beifong (Chinese: 北方拓芙; pinyin: Běifāng Tuòfú) was a female human who was the daughter of '''Lao Beifong''' and '''Poppy Beifong''' where she was born in 87-88 AG in the [[Earth Kingdom]]. Born blind, she came to be sheltered by her parents who believed her lack of sight made her fragile and unable to look after herself. As a result, they took extreme measures to protect her which even included hiding her existence from the rest of the world. As a result, very few people were even aware of the fact that the Beifong family had a daughter. Their status as nobles led to them expecting their daughter to behave in a well=mannered and proper manner as fitting their status within Earth Kingdom society. | Toph Beifong (Chinese: 北方拓芙; pinyin: Běifāng Tuòfú) was a female human who was the daughter of '''Lao Beifong''' and '''Poppy Beifong''' where she was born in 87-88 AG in the [[Earth Kingdom]].
