First and foremost, I am not by any means a professional (I think that's a given though) this is simply my sort of speculation and opinion as to what she'd be diagnosed with based on what knowledge I have of psychology. A lot of the following quotes and information will be pulled from my abnormal psyc textbook and will be cited in MLA format (because I'm a dork like that and I'm used to it).

Schizophrenia

There are actually a few disorders I could see her having some less so than others. But above all I would diagnose her with schizophrenia...above all the paranoid type. "People with paranoid...

voice actor interview is with Jessie Flower, the talented voice actress behind the character Toph, Aang's powerful earthbending teacher.

Enjoy!



Acastus: How did you get involved with the show? Did you audition for Toph at the same time as Meng, or did the opportunity to play Toph develop later?

JF: First, I auditioned for Meng, then I got the part, and then they decided I might be a good voice for Toph. So, I auditioned for that, then got that part. Which actually at the time, Toph's name was "The Blind Bandit".

That stuff probably wouldn’t leave her hair for another month or two.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, Azula!” Ty-Lee flung herself at the girl—once...
