Description Because I promised that I would modernize Toph for this series. I also added Amaya because I felt like it. This is probably the last in this series, unless season three brings in some new central characters. (Maybe I’ll do Ursa and Ozai once we see his face.)

Toph: She doesn’t actually go to the high school, she’s home schooled, but she sneaks out to hang around with the other kids and she likes the high school crowd more than kids her own age. Although she’s blind, she’s confident and tough and rarely uses her seeing-eye-dog or walking stick, yet she seems to get around pretty well.

Amaya: The basic art student type. She’s a good student but the staff are a little worried that she’ll follow her brother’s path and do something like paint a giant mural in the middle of the quad. (Seriously, he painted the cement, all in praise of Principle Bumi, aardvarks, and cotton balls. It’s still there, but scuffed from all the traffic.)

Medium: Pen, Prismacolor pencils.

Oh, how do you make a good AU?! I tried to post one up my first time here and no one liked it! Could you read mine over for me if you can?

Making a good AU is hard, because one has to strike a balance between canon and fanon. You want to try and keep the characters in character, which means giving them similar backgrounds and relationships with each other as canon, but that also has to match with the AU you’ve set up. It takes quite a bit of thought, in my opinion, which is why I’m not going to do a fanfic series based on these pictures. XD

I’m sorry, I don’t beta other people’s works, my best advice is to take advice from the people who read it.

Hey, I've been wondering, is this ever gonna get turned into a fan fic or a comic of some kind? It looks like it would be good. I'll be flamed for saying this, but I think this would be a HECK of alot better then that Zutara AU that's floating around here. *gags* Down with Zutara!

No, this isn’t going to be any big project, I don’t have enough ideas to do anything interesting with it. Although there is a possibility of little things popping up for this AU.

Though I’m not a fan of Zutara, I have to say that AU comic is very good. There’s room for all sorts.

I used to be homeschooled. Before my curiosity got the better of me. Now my class rank is 48 out of over three hundred. And I skipped a grade. Almost two. Not that I'm bragging...*cough*

Good for you! Personally, I generally have more faith in homeschooling than the public system in this country...

Which explains why Toph pwns.

Does Zuko count as a dropout? Hm...

By my school's standards, Amaya's shirt is breaking so many dress code rules... but I love it. What does the A on Toph's vest stand for?

Well, there’s a good chance that this meeting happens outside of school. I don’t know how it is elsewhere, but high schools around here don’t enforce the dress code too severely unless it's a huge violation. I’m sure Amaya’s looked up the dress code and chosen her outfits so that they’re just *barely* acceptable. Because it’s more fun that way.

The logo on Toph’s shirt is the symbol for Earthbending. I also put bending/nation symbols on Aang, Katara, and Sokka, so why not finish the trend.

And thanks for the picture of Ozai, but I’ll wait for the whole thing to be revealed on the show.

oh and this [link] might give you an idea for Ozai's face. It's the closest pic we have of his entire face

Thank you! I had fun with Amaya's outfit, since she's a clothing-addict and all. XP

Toph can never *not* be awesome. XD
