You are a true fan High Spirit!! Well in response to your well written comment, she is indeed one of the best firebenders. Behind Ozai and Iroh yes, but I am willing to bet that she is even better than the Sun Warriors. You are correct when you say that she draws her power to from other sources besides hatred. She has a desire to be perfect, to gain Ozai's approval, so her longing to be the best is her driving force. People do put her in the evil category, if only because little kids do not understand her psyche and her inner conflict. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT when you say " her actions are simply the result of her father manipulations." Ozai is Azula's world, everything she does is to please her father, and her "evilness" stems from her father's personality. She was becoming very powerful indeed, but I do not agree that she was becoming more powerful than her father. He ordered her to stay in the Fire Nation because he was going to be the ruler of the world, and he needed his daughter to oversee the nation as a kind of governor, you could say, and him being the President. She probably would have become the most powerful if she had the opportunity to blossom into a young, sane, adult. Just like Aang most likely becomes the best air bender in his adulthood.
