Child of the Earthbender

A/N: Yay, Toph's chapter! Ever wonder exactly who Lin Bei Fong's father was? Well here you get to find out! Stay tuned for a complete list of the Children of Team Avatar.

Who was Lin Bei Fong's father? Haru. He was Lin Bei Fong's father. It was a mistake, though. Well, not for Toph so much as for Haru. He was engaged to be married and their midnight rendezvous was the result of too many alcoholic drinks and cactus juice. So Haru sailed home before Toph realized she was expecting. Nobody asked any questions; they wouldn't dare. Toph Bei Fong was the greatest earthbender there was, creator of metalbending. Nobody messed with Toph Bei Fong.

When Lin was born, Toph named her daughter after her grandmother. Lin was a beautiful baby and had a natural affinity with the earth from an early age. Toph taught her little girl everything she knew, from metalbending to her seismic sense. Being a blind earthbender can teach you things like that. It was when Lin was thirty, and Toph fifty, that she was involved with Tenzin, Aang's eldest son. However, after their heated parting of the ways, Lin was a changed woman. She became Deputy Chief Lin Bei Fong, soon to be Chief Lin Bei Fong; the hard-working, no-nonsense earthbender with a slight disregard for Avatar Korra. Of course, that had come with being the daughter of Toph Bei Fong, the Blind Bandit.

Haru never did learn he had a daughter and died happily in his home, surrounded by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. That's the thing with earthbenders. They live as long as the hills themselves. Toph died at the grand old age of 92, a full eighty years after she had run away from home to join the Avatar on his quest to beat the Fire Lord.

A/N: Well, that's all folks. When I get the time, there will be a full list of the Children of Team Avatar posted, their names and parentage, things like that, ok?
