Character During the stand-off at Yu Dao which happened soon afterward between Zuko and Aang, Sokka tried to keep the crowd gathered outside the gates calm, but was rewarded by being called "a Water Tribe savage" and by a rock to the head, thrown by an unseen member of the mob. Upon Sokka's return, Satoru asked if the strategy applied to bigger opponents, pointing out to his ally that Old Iron had risen up.
Toph would again rush to the defense of her friends when the warrior spirit General Old Iron attacked the town, with Lao finally recognizing her ability to take care of herself even while still overcoming his old protectiveness of her. He desperately tried to defend Toph and himself as the firebenders attacked, but was soon rendered powerless.

They appeared to get along much better as time went on. Fire Nation Following the Hundred Year War, Toph separated from Aang and the rest of Team Avatar, only to join back up with them when she heard Appa flying over the Beifong Metalbending Academy just before the skirmish at Yu Dao. However, there is no indication she thought of him romantically in any way.
However, he ended up having to defend his earlier attitude toward his uncle to her, as Toph deemed him to be a "sniveling flunky" who groveled for Loban. After humiliating him with some metalbending, Toph agreed to a contest between their students, in which the first master who was forced to sit down would have to leave the school forever.
However, Toph and Lao soon after found themselves fighting for their lives when Loban's secret iron ore mines were discovered by Sokka and Katara, and subsequently began to collapse as they attempted to evacuate the miners. With a new love interest being introduced for Toph, many fans were excited and hopes that he would be Lin's father.

Profession She spoke to Sokka of how her parents expected her to be not only helpless and thus in need of constant care and observation by others, but to simultaneously be a well-mannered, soft-spoken, little lady, so that all she felt was "pressure and pain". She still felt hurt, even after she earthbent them into a river, and Katara waterbent them away. As Lin stated she wanted nothing more to do with her after saving their family, Toph solemnly accepted the words, stating that she would agree to it if that was what Lin desired.

After she informed him about her metalbending academy, the two soon struck up a deal between themselves, in which Satoru and his uncle would sponsor a new school building in exchange for their regular checkups of the refinery's machines. Cranefish Town Sokka remained the only person who managed to settle the argument between Toph and Katara which occurred right before the girls were captured.
Toph voluntarily came to Suyin's rescue when she was captured by Kuvira and warmly hugged her back upon her release. When Aang went on the offensive against Satoru by claiming that it was the refinery's fault that the river had become polluted, Toph was quick to shout at everyone to back off from the engineer and used her seismic sense lie-detecting abilities to verify the truth behind Satoru's defense that the factory was not to blame. In response, Sokka offered his services as a "motivational bender" to try to inspire her students, and when his initial attempts fail, came up with the idea of making them "super-emotional" to draw out their metalbending potential. During her visits to Zaofu, Toph would often tell her tales from her past.

While navigating the Serpent's Pass, Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Suki, along with Than and his family, arrived at a section which was completely submerged underneath the water. After having saved her youngest daughter and her family from their imprisonment at the hand of Kuvira, Toph openly declared Kuvira to give metalbenders a bad name.[1].

In 174 AG, when Toph went to rescue her family, Opal rushed to hug her, an action Toph did not resist, although she cut it short and moved to hold Opal's hands instead.
