Doesn't really seem like Mity's all too concerned about fitting scenes in the narrative if they'll be interesting enough.Well yes,Katara and Toph are guaranteed but Lin and other auxillary characters not so much.
Not saying its impossible,just that there isnt really much narrative reason.
Her entire design was based on the gap moe idea of a sheltered princess hiding strength.
Im aware that by the nature of her development´s conclusion she would buff up but that goes too far.
Her adult one outright kills all of her feminine traits and turns her into a flamboyant dude.
The petite frame,feminine proportions or even face all non existent.
Hell,kill the hairstyle and its not even flamboyant anymore but outright male(a bishie male admittedly but fuck...).
That design rubs me wrong something fierce.
Though like I said,I dont remember the scene(and Im sure as hell going nowhere close to LoK again)so maybe its just that particular shot but man...just no.
And that was her design idea in the first series, when she was literally 12 and could only look like a 12-year-old girl. Then she spent a good chunk of the following decades building a police force for a city that was set to house people from nations who were bitter enemies in the past. Hell, just look at most female cops in real life.
This is also the girl with nary a concern for appearance but all the love in the world for attaining immense strength. Toph pretty much IS a flamboyant dude.
I agree that LoK had some problems with women's faces looking manly(Kuvira has some serious Mako jawline going on there) but expecting a lithe frame from most 40-year-old women is already pushing it, much less with Toph.
