Toph is a very interesting one.
She's the Goddess of Victory and the Truth, amongst other things. She's one of the most-revered gods out there, due to how powerful a domain she holds. Athletes, soldiers, and leaders alike all pray to her very often.
Her blindness is not at all seen as an issue by mortals-- actually, due to her blindness, mortals tend to be much kinder to disabled folk.
It's seen as sacrilegious to forbid someone from participating in sports, contest, or even war on the basis of their perceived abilities. It's seen almost as if you're saying that Toph wouldn't be able to do that.
She's also the patron of innovation. She's the first form of Metalbending, and inventors/tinkerers will often pray to both her and Sokka (god of wisdom) when they go to create something new.
The Blind Bandit is an enigma.
No one really knows what she is-- she might be the goddess of trickery? And lies? but she's the only goddess to have no temples, to never ask for offerings or prayers, and she doesn't really... act like a goddess.
Really, she's more of a cryptid than a goddess- she definitely isn't human, considering she's been hanging around for like 300 years... but yeah no one really knows what she's up to.
Yes the wolf she's riding on is Sokka- he isn't too happy about it but he has a soft spot for Toph.
Aang and The Blind Bandit meet each other pretty often on the road-- he's normally the epitome of "good deeds" but she's a really bad influence on him (some think that he just can't say no to someone that shares his sense of style)
