Talk:Azula's relationships/@comment-5099580-20120620090858/@comment-98.228.102.141-20120829022038

Toph may not have been gentle and nurturing like Katara and she may have liked to show affection with a punch to the shoulder, but she certainly wasn't a sociopath like Azula. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Azula as a character. And I do feel sorry for her that she was used as Ozai's tool of revenge and that her mother always had to discipline her and gave her the impression that she didn't love her. But she and Toph are nothing alike. Toph does not lack empathy and does not view people as a mere means to an end. Like I said though, I really like Azula and it was incredibly sad to see her break down.

Yes I agree with you that it is impossible to see how any mental hospital could hold her, unless they sent Amon or Yakone to bloodbend her 24/7 to prevent her from doing anything. But while she is incredibly cunning, she is also very socially inept. She can get people to fear her, but she does not seem to know how to get people to love her. The latter would help a bit as she could get some sympathy and get somebody to give her just enough freedom to escape. I doubt that anybody would do anything but keep her tied down tight if she only uses fear on them.
