In season 1 I was griping about the lack of female characters-- major or minor. Now in season 2 and 3 it's like we've been given an awesome basket of dynamic--and very different-- girls/women on the both sides. I love Azula because she's hilarious and good to hate at the same time. The Azula/Zuko relationship is one of my favorites on the show, because I don't think it'd be any different if Azula were a boy.
Toph rocks my socks, and Katara does too, being that she's the most roundly developed female character, and her worst traits are her best traits. I love that Mei and Ty Lee, while they could use some more development, are also very distinct characters and don't always mesh perfectly with their mistress. I am endlessly fascinated by the fact that Ty Lee ran away to be a poor working professional, which makes her different from just about all the other FN characters we've seen, Zuko and Iroh included. I wish we would learn more about stuff like that, but I fear we're running out of episodes for it.
Do you know there are no female action figures for this show's toy dept? Boggles the mind.
