Her Element
Toph had always loved the earth. From her first halting, wobbly steps, she knew it was her element. The soft cool earth between her toes gave her stability and strength and her own kind of sight. It gave her bending. It gave her freedom. She was at home with the earth, the dirt, its plants and critters. She remembers when she first ran away and found the badger moles. It licked her, and she made a friend. Earth gave her safety and autonomy from her parents' control. It gave her an identity. She has always been an earth child.
But she is learning from her Airbending lover, partner, friend, that maybe, maybe, she can love the sky too.
A/N: I just realized I didn't have any good old Taang in my collection, and decided to change that real quick.
