The Girl Boss Trope Gets Spun on Its Head by Netflix, Toph in “Avatar: The Last Airbender” to Become More Feminine

According to an article on The Direct, Miya Cech, who will play Toph in the upcoming series, has shared that her portrayal of the Earthbending prodigy will be more mature and subtly feminine compared to how fans knew her from the popular Nickelodeon show. For dedicated Avatar fans, this might come as a surprise since Toph is known for her tomboyish character – she’s gritty, sarcastic, unkempt, and fiercely independent with raw strength. What sets her apart, particularly in contrast to characters like Katara, is her rejection of traditional femininity.
