Given that so far I like every character I am meant to like, that Toph sounds awesome, and that I enjoyed her in one random clip I saw on YouTube, I am pretty sure I will like Toph, too. *grin*
I think partly because 12-year-old kali could have become anyone—she was practically not identifiable as a precursor of present-day kali—but 14-year-old kali I recognize as being in the continuity. XD
Interesting! I can recognize myself as far back as, mmm, six years old. Five, not so much (I was apparently very outgoing, which is just weird to think about), but by six I was already doing the antisocial read-in-a-corner thing, telling stories and inventing bad songs, making irritable snap judgments, obsessively organizing certain aspects of my life (I started alphabetizing my books when I was six; yes, really), procrastinating like a champion, and so on. Aside from the hair-trigger temper I managed to (with great difficulty) mostly get rid of, the discovery that I like teaching, the resolution of a slow-motion religious crisis, and just the general experience and perspective of age, 6-year-old Liz and 27-year-old Liz are in a pretty direct personality continuity line. Granted, I did not expect to end up as a college dropout store clerk, but that's a life circumstances thing more than a personality thing.
