[jwplayer MDxzN19r]An Avatar: The Last Airbender cosplayer went viral with her true-to-life Toph Beifong costume. The artist’s insanely accurate portrayal of the sassy earthbender had fans of the animation going wild.

The Last Airbender made its groundbreaking debut on Nickelodeon back in 2005. Viewers from around the world were captivated with its story about a monk named Aang who, as the Avatar, can control the elements of Earth, Air, Water, and Fire.

Popular cosplay artist ‘mk_ays‘ went viral when she shared her mind-blowing costume of popular character Toph Beifong. She looks so much like the earthbender, it’s almost as if the heroine has blasted her way out of the screen and into real life.

Cosplayer ‘mk_ays’ transformed herself into the popular heroine, and stunned fans with her faithful portrayal. The artist dressed up in the character’s costume from the introduction episode when she lives with her wealthy family at the Beifong estate.

Ays absolutely nailed the look, perfectly re-creating her black bun hairstyle, which includes bangs that frame her face. Posing in Toph’s fancy green and white kimono, she mirrors a scene from the show, while also capturing her blindness.
