Lmao nice research. xDDD

I have to say, I agree with you. Azula and Zuko grew up very differently, so you can't really compare the two of them. Zuko grew up without a good father figure, aside from Iroh, and Azula grew up without a good mother figure.

However, Zuko and Azula did grow up differently, after Zuko was banished. Zuko grew up as an outcast from the Fire Nation, with nobody but a handful of Firebenders and Iroh. However, Azula grew up in the Fire Nation with her father and other citizens of the Fire Nation.

Except, those roles seemed to change after a while. Zuko join Team Avatar, making friends with them and helping them to destroy the Fire Nation. However, Mai and Azula split ways after Mai told Azula that she "loved Zuko more then she feared Azula" and Ty Lee went with Mai.

Because of this, you can safely say that Azula and Zuko's lives were generally the same. They both grew up without one parent, and they both had a time in their life with no friends, but with friends.

However, I would say that the main difference between the two is that Azula strove for perfection, which in the end drove her insane, while Zuko wanted his honor back, but in the end he discovered a different way to get it. Basically, they both got an opportunity to change themselves, and Zuko was the one who reached out and grabbed it.
