I especially loved how, after Rose and Martha both falling so completely in love with the Doctor (which I didn't really mind, but still) Donna is so utterly 'meh!' about him. It made a wonderful change.
Toph could've been replaced by a male character almost without rewriting a single line of her dialogue. I always kinda loved that. She was a character who always made me a bit uncomfortable though, because I never quite bought that she could be this streetwise underground tournament regular, *and* in touch with nature enough to learn earthbending from animals better than any other human on the planet, *AND* a rich girl who could blend in perfectly with polite society. It just seemed a bit much to believe all from one side character and verged a bit too close into Mary Sue territory. She *was* seriously badass though, and I did love that they were so keen on giving girls roles like that.
I spent a whole chunk of season three wondering what the hell had happened to Suki. She seemed far too important to have been killed off off screen, so it was a relief when they finally brought her up again.
