Hey My name is Mystique. I am a girl, even if my pic says I am a guy. I was just wondering if we could be friends here. I am a big Avatar fan, and I think that u probably are, too, judging by your name. So, can we be friends?
Because of Toph's young age and blindness, Sokka is skeptical of her Earthbending powers at first. Upon witnessing her skills; however, he is astonished to the point of fainting. Afterwards, he gladly welcomes Toph into their group. Just as Sokka was doubtful of Toph's fighting skills, Toph thinks little of Sokka's abilities as a warrior, dismissing his fighting skills because he cannot bend.
Though they were initially hostile, in "The Chase" Sokka is the only member of the group who does not confront Toph for her apparent lack of responsibility, and later confronts Katara and Aang with the realization that they "were pretty much jerks." The two have come to an easy understanding, and frequently work together to accomplish tasks outside the range of one or the other.
During the episode "The Serpent's Pass," Toph was knocked into a large body of water while crossing it on an ice bridge. Unable to swim, Toph called for help and, though Sokka began to jump to her rescue, Suki was able to reach Toph before Sokka had entered the water. Unaware that it was Suki, Toph gleefully thanked Sokka for the rescue and kissed Suki on the cheek. She was very embarrassed to find out what actually happened, commenting that Suki could let her drown now. The creators confirmed that the scene was intended to show Toph's romantic interest in Sokka.[16] As the gang and the earth king fly away at the end of The Crossroads of Destiny, Toph is seen holding on to Sokka for comfort. When Sokka briefly left the group to pursue the tutelage of a renowned sword master in "Sokka's Master," Aang, Katara, and Toph all expressed regret over his absence, reflecting that his humor and strict adherence to a planned schedule had given them entertainment and focus in their lives. When Sokka returns, Toph claims to have not missed him, but turns aside and blushes afterwards. Sokka also seems to connect with Toph more than any other character in the group. As they depart, Sokka gives her a piece of meteorite that was used to craft his sword. Being composed of earth and metal, Toph is able to mold the fragment into any shape or form she desires, and now wears it as an arm bracelet. In " The Runaway" Sokka remains the only person who managed to settle the argument between Toph and Katara. He also trusts Toph enough to tell her that he can't remember his mother's face, which he hasn't told anyone before.
In "The Puppet Master" Toph uses the meteorite as a key to help Sokka uncover Hama's secrets, and while doing this blushes. Later when Toph jumps down into the cave, she grabs onto Sokka's hand.
During the search for Fire Lord Ozai in the "Day of Black Sun", Toph uses her expert Earthbending and Metalbending abilities to locate the underground bunkers. Sokka constantly expresses his admiration for Toph's abilities during this search.
