A/N: Heylo all you people! Okay, I know that the first thing that you're thinking is: "Oh, my god, this is so short!" Yes, yes, I know that it's tiny. I'm sorry. But this is a piece that I'm writing for my English class, and this is just the introduction. But, the good thing is that I'll actually be updating totally regularly! I know! You're just as surprised as I am! But, yes, I am also writing this for English, and it will be worked on every day. The chapters will probably be kinda short, and I apologize in advance. But at least you can be sure that I'll update regularly. Okay, sorry for my rambling. Here you go!
Disclaimer: I don't own the frickin' show Avatar, so stop sayin' I do!

Toph Bei Fong walked along the shoreline, her vision a bit blurred by the sand and water at her bare feet. It's times like this that make her wish that she isn't blind. These moments also make her thank the spirits that she's an earth bender. Without her bending, she really would just be a helpless little blind girl, as her parents saw her to be. Adjusting her green and yellow striped headband, the blind earth bender is reminded of her thoughts from earlier, the reason she was out on this frigid shore in the first place. She relived the feeling of relief to be free from her parent's strict rule, stretching her arms as if to show that she was free from constraints. It certainly wasn't that they were rude to their only child, just that they thought of Toph to be as small and fragile as their fine china. Of course, all of the Bei Fong's dinnerware was porcelain. Their endless budget would be spent on no less. And the credit card-like emblem, happening to be linked to their fortune, has served it's purpose well for the Avatar and Company.
The Avatar, commonly known as Aang to close friends. Master of all four elements, an Air Nomad, so carefree for a boy with such a large weight on his shoulders. Saving the world and restoring peace has never been an easy task for anybody. He is quick and also light on his feet, thus being pronounced, 'Twinkle Toes' by Toph, the official nick-name pronouncer of the group. And then there was his 'company'. Toph, along with Katara, and Sokka, two warriors from the small Southern Water Tribe. Katara, a master waterbender, as talented with this frozen ocean as Toph is with the earth under her feet. Her motherly attitude and sweet demeanor sicken Toph, thus being pronounced, 'Sweetness.' And that leaves Sokka. Not a bender, just skilled with a boomerang and machete. But even without special 'magic' as he calls it, Sokka is brave, smart, and funny. Not to mention lazy, thus earning him the title, 'Snoozles.' Not afraid of the ruthless, evil Fire Nation, and not too much of a coward to stand up for what he believes in. And what Sokka believes also happens to be what Toph has faith in, too. They're so alike, in personality and mind. Sarcastic, humorous, a bit of a complainer if put up to it. They're the comic relief for the 'Aang GAang', a somewhat funny label for their little world-saving, mismatched group.
A freezing wave washes over Toph's exposed feet, snapping her out of thoughts, making her suddenly realize how cold it is. Shivering, she makes her way across the sand, truly blind for a moment because the tiny, separated Earth particles make it too fuzzy to feel any vibrations. And that short moment proved to be when the world seemed to end for poor, delicate, blind Toph.
