"My daughter is blind. Blind, and helpless, and tiny, and fragile. She can't help you."
"Yes, I can."

As the gang journeys into the Earth Kingdom proper, Aang's search for an Earth Bending teacher becomes more and more pressing. He enrolls in an Earthbending school, to little success; however, other students mention an underground Earthbending tournament, show, "Earth Rumble Six." Hopeful this might yield results, they go to find the show, watching a string of fights, each one being dominated by 'The Boulder', a tall, muscled man- perfect as a teacher. However, even he is defeated by the true champion; The Blind Bandit. Said champion is a young girl, barely twelve, and a member of the richest family in the area, and exactly the same girl that Aang saw in his vision. And she really is blind, but all the better a bender for it.

Aang is sure that this girl, Toph Beifong, is destined to be his teacher; however, her own reluctance and her father's resolute belief that his daughter is helpless poses something of a problem...

Tropes:

Poppy: Poor Toph, she must be so scared...
Toph: (cut to her suspended in a cage) You think you're so tough? Why don't you come up here so I can slap that grin off your face?

Katara: [sighs] This is just going to be a bunch of guys chucking rocks at each other, isn't it?

"HIPPO MAD!"
