Character Description: Princess Azula
Azula is Zuko's younger sister. When they were young, Azula was always playing tricks on Zuko, and favored her father, Ozai, becoming the Fire Lord instead of Iroh, Ozai's brother. Iroh's son died in battle, and when the Fire Lord of the time died, his "dying wish" was supposedly that Ozai become the fire lord instead of Iroh. At least, that was the story. In reality, Zuko's mom had Azulan killed so that Ozai wouldn't kill Zuko, as Azulan ordered Ozai to kill Zuko so Ozai could know the pain of loosing his only son, because Ozai was messed up enough to ask for the throne behind Iroh's back while Iroh was grieving for his dead son. Of course, that's why Zuko's mom left, she had to.
Azula has always been quite powerful as a fire bending prodigy, and her abilities only increase after her mother leaves. She doesn't make a big debut until the end of first season. She plays a major role in the second season, chasing after Zuko, Iroh, and the Avatar and company.
Some time in second season, she fights Katara, Zuko, Toph, and Aang, and severely injures Iroh, her uncle. In fact, Iroh even appears like he would die, but in the next episode it shows him bandaged up and awake. He is being tended to by Zuko, and later starts to teach Zuko about the nature of the lightning moves of firebending and teaches him to redirect lightning attacks.
Azula has two good friends, Mai and Ty Lee. Ty Lee is a sextuplet, one of six sisters that look alike, though she is the only one that's an acrobat. She knows how to shut down an opponent's entire nervous system, which in turn blocks the energy centers – also called 'Chakras' located along the spine - (which is why she can stop benders from bending, she knows the body inside out). Mai is the daughter of a member of Fire Lord Ozai's court. Her dad is given the job of ruling Omashu, an Earth Kingdom city, and Mai gets bored easily with nothing to do. She knows how to throw arrows, and she's been in love with Zuko ever since they were kids (and he feels the same way)
Overall, Azula is brutal and ruthless, traits she inherited from her father.

Azula is a spectacular character. She is an extremely powerful firebender and a princess with potential to rule. It's just too bad she is so cruel and evil, or she would have been a great ally of Team Avatar.

One of my favorite characters in the show and this is one of my favorite all-time shows as well. I like how they made her really malevolent, unlike some shows where there enemies sometimes turns into big softies later in the series, whereas this show keeps Azula's fiery personality throughout the series. Anyways I like how they designed her and how she ended up all crazy and bitchy was quite a shock to me...Oh well, that's what I like about Avatar, it surprises me. ... show more »
