Again: hard! :O TOO MANY AWESOME LADIES, TOO LITTLE TIME.

Toph: TOPH IS AWESOME. EVERYBODY BETTER RECOGNIZE. FULL STOP. She is literally the most badass person on the show, quite probably the most badass person IN THE WORLD, and also the most hilariously cranky twelve-year-old in existence. <3333 This combination is like my kryptonite! Every time she punches Sokka in the shoulder in a manly way because she can't admit she liiiiikes him, my heart grows three sizes. Every time she and Katara bond over Toph's secret secret inner angst, my heart grows FOUR sizes. Every time she reminds them all for the umpty millionth time that SHE CAN'T ACTUALLY SEE THE POSTER YOU'RE UNFURLING, my heart grows FIVE SIZES!

Mai: I love Mai, and I love her extra because for some reason there are large portions of fandom that are bizarrely anti-Mai. How can you hate Mai! I love her hilarious deadpan, and how she is almost as cool as she thinks she is, and her FIVE MILLION KNIVES, and how she doesn't hate Zuko, and how, in the end, the fate of the world hangs in the balance of her choice . . . almost. Because really, the fate of the world hangs on:

Ty Lee: I love Ty Lee because I have never seen a character quite like her before on TV, I think. She's so cheerful and likeable! But she works for Team Evil! But she's actually competent! But her choice not to let one of her best friends kill the other is actually quite possibly what saves the world! OH TY LEE. <3333

For you: Fullmetal Alchemist!
