House of Beifong

The House of Beifong, also called the "House of the Flying Boar", is a powerful and influential Earth Kingdom noble family seated in Gaoling. An ancient house, the Beifongs have been Earth Kingdom nobility for centuries and are the nation's current royal family under Earth Queen Songwen. Decades prior, they rose to the throne for the first time during the reigns of Earth Monarchs Destra and Siniestro, which were followed by those of Destra's adopted children Raoxing and Marie. The family, whose symbol is a flying boar, continues to be internationally well-respected for their impressive lineage, earthbending prowess, wealth, and good connections with other noble families.

Important and influential members of the family include the powerful politician Lu Beifong; the co-founder of the Earthen Fire Refinery, Lao Beifong; his only child, Toph, a renowned earthbending master and the inventor of metalbending; her two children, Earth Queen Destra and Earth King Siniestro; the Earth Queens Raoxing and Marie; and Siniestro's daughters the Grand Secretariat Songwen and former Councilors Xiuying and Lixue.
