Y'know, after reading Tahliyah's story more thoroughly a second time, I think I DO like her.
For those of you who hadn't seen, I made a previous post about how taliyah seems too flimsy to be an earthbender.
Now I still think that's true, but now that I've gotten a better look into her, I think she is rather sweet. Slow to anger, a little doubtful, friendly.
She isn't the Tophest of geomancers, but removing my bias towards Toph, she is a nice character and I'm looking forward to playing her.
