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".


Acastus: Since you originally played Meng, was it difficult to "switch gears" so...

I posted this over on tumblr too.

So I was leitura Shadow of Kyoshi and I found two little things that pertain to the upbringing and social rules of the fogo Nation. The first is, “Avatar Szeto was an ideal for us officials to live up to, and a shining example of fogo Nation values in general. Efficiency, precision, and loyalty.” And the segundo is, “I Know it sounds frivolous and wasteful but appearances matter in the palace. fogo Nation nobles dress and act to represent their clan affiliation and rank. Our peers notice our smallest choices and assign meaning and intentions to them.”...

I've seen it commonly argued that Azula is a sadist and a killer and I disagree whole-heartedly for various reasons. For one thing, she is still a child, a child from an abusive and dysfunctional início at that. For seconds, I've always felt as though she has really done nothing different than any other character at the end of the day. I also believe that redemption is very possible for Azula. I wanted to elaborate on this por pulling things from old debates and artigos I've written, just to throw my opinions into a mais organized format instead of having to re-type the same points every time...

Modern dia TyZula Valentine AU.

Azula had never seen as much glitter and rose petals as she did when she opened her locker that morning. Open swinging it open the cutesy stuff fell upon her in a pink, red, and silver shower. She blew her hair out of her face creating another sparkly puff in the air.

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

From in the corner she saw Zuko snickering to himself as he waited for Mai to arrive, he planned on giving her the most ridiculously sized stuffed frog.

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

So KataraLover and I were talking about Azula's blue fogo and about this Frozen-esque theory that Ursa tried to hide the fact that Azula could bend blue fire. So I made a thing.

“The girl is strange Ozai.” Ursa muttered. “I’ve never seen anyone do that before.”

Ozai tugged at his beard, pacing about the room. “Strange? That’s power like I’ve never seen!”

It had been well over an hora since their parents had slammed the door on them and started their chatter. Azula stood there with her ear to the door until one of the palace guards directed her away. mais specifically led her...

So on this one pesquisa 'who would win a fight to the death' I kind of went on this rant as to why I thought Azula would win. And I thought I'd put it in artigo form.

First and foremost, the obvious; Azula has Blue fogo (supposedly hotter than any other fire) on the show. This is something unique to Azula and Azula alone. Where as Bloodbending is not unique to Katara. And metalbending is not unique to Toph. Others have done it before and (in Toph's case) after. Plus Katara can only do it during the full moon whereas Azula's blue fogo and lighting are present at all times. And she is very skilled...
