Talk:Azula/@comment-4326385-20120928045501

I found the dynamic between Katara and Azula very interesting. Both are princesses of their repsective nations (Katara isn't an official Water Tribe princess, but on the basis that as the daughter of the chief she is considered of higher status), bending prodigies, are both 14 and younger sisters, and members of highly important political groups (Azula is a member of the Fire Nation royal family and a respected member when involved in war meetings, while Katara is a member of Team Avatar).

The dyanmic I favored best was their personalities. Katara and Azula are entirely polar opposites, but both display tendecies of the other. Katara displayed a reckless and murderous side to her during her escapade with Yon Rha, while Azula genuinely apologized to her friend and showed a glimpse of her insecure behavior in fornt of others. I find it amusing when people say Azula's entirely cold-hearted and a complete sociopath; sure, she's off her rocker, but who's to say the situation couldn't have been the opposite? How do we know Azula was born a sadist from the beginning? Different circumstances and different backgrounds were definitely factors of both girls social developement. Anyone with me?
