(hope I got her name right) Yes, finally managed to see the commercial for season 2 eps. 6 "The Blind Bandit," originally called "The Earthbending Tournament." Here's the best pic I could get of her. Sorry the original source wasn't much better. From the precious few seconds we've seen of her, she seems to be a formidable, no-nonsense type of person despite her obvious youth. Therefore, I wonder if she will truly join Aang's group as many have guessed. Her personality may be too rigid (I for one can't see her getting along with Sokka's bungling ;D) but she may be more serious in battle, not in casual day-to-day events... Well if anything, we'll find out more about her soon enough. I am somewhat disappointed we didn't get to see this eps. already as was supposedly promised... p.s. Anyone have any idea how to pronounce her name? I say it like "tofu" except without the u... >_>

Short, but to the point. I agree. With the very short glimpses I had of her, I couldn't help but notice how well drawn she was. She's also probably the most "anime-looking" character in the whole series so far... whether that effect was intentional or not.

I'm not sure if that was her who kicked up that rockmound (?) at Aang near the end of the teaser. If it was then I can assume that she might be a bit of a brat. ^^' Earthbending people you don't like? Eek.

I pronounce it the same way you do, firenationstooge.
And I think it was her kicking up earth at Aang at the end of the promo. But I don't think it means she's a brat, they could have been starting instruction.

She looks cool!
I've been pronouncing it like top but changing the p to a f sound. So the o is pronounced "ah", not "oh." But your way of pronouncing it sounds better then mine.

I've been pronouncing her name like "off" with a t at the beginning. We'll have to see what it really is.

I personally have been pronouncing her name Toph. (Not that that helps. Let me elaborate: Like the first 'o' in option, and the rest like tofu without the 'u'. Toph. ) Well, I don't think that the couple miliseconds of her we are able to watch really give away anything about her personality. Anytime a person is fighting or in battle their personalitly will probably differ from if they were talking to someone they knew. We'll just have to wait to be sure. She does seem like a fairly powerful earthbender, though.

I have a Tivo and I have watched the commercial for the new episode many times. It seems likely the one to join the gang will be this girl or someone not in the preview.
However, I was wondering, how did you figure out what her name is?? (Just wondering.)

I think her name is in the summary for the episode. Maybe it isn't even her, but it seems like this is Toph with the use of a little common sense:
'In search for an Earthbending teacher for Aang, the kids go to an underground Earthbending tournament where they encounter Toph, a blind, but powerful Earthbender. After seeing her unique style of Earthbending, Aang wants Toph to become his teacher, but there are complications. '

And I think it was her kicking up earth at Aang at the end of the promo. But I don't think it means she's a brat, they could have been starting instruction. Let me rephrase that, it could be that she's short-tempered, anti-social ... I can't quite put my finger on the word I'm looking for. It didn't seem like instruction to me but Disneygirl13 is right, we can't judge her by a few seconds we saw of her. Not that this will help any but last night I had a dream in which Aang had a muffin. Someone asks him what he's going to do with it and he says "I'm going to give it to Katara and Toph", in which he pronounced Toph "Tiff". And then a Teenage Robot crossover happened. ^^;...Stop looking at me like that. ;_;

I think i can describe the rock mound...i think it was put in the preview to show her unique powers...
The way i saw it aang was falling(in the air) and suddenly a rock mound rises under him preventing him to make a smooth landing... and considering SHES BLIND! and she can tell at what time hes gonna land and where is pretty amazing...
*i wonder what shes carrying*

She looks like she doesn't take crap from anybody. I'd be scared of her. If she's the one that joins the group I want to see her fight Katara.
She does seem anti-social doesn't she?
