Royal armor



The royal armor was one of the accessories worn by the Prince and Princess of the Fire Nation. Both Azula and Zuko were seen wearing the royal armor.

History
The armor was worn for public appearances, as Zuko and Azula were seen wearing it during ceremonies, war meetings, and audiences to the Fire Lord. Azula also wore the armor while battling Aang, Toph, and Sokka during the eclipse and while visiting the Boiling Rock.

It seemed that the armor was used as a sign of accomplishment, as Azula and Zuko did not wear it until they successfully conquered Ba Sing Se. The armor was also been worn by the Fire Lord on some occasions, as Azula was shown wearing it under her cape on the day of the coronation.

After Zuko became Fire Lord and Azula was sent to a mental health facility, it can be assumed that the armor was not worn again until Zuko had children of his own.

Design
The armor was very elaborate; it was mostly sable, with exquisite scarlet detailing and fine golden tracing. Worn over the chest of both the Prince and Princess, the royal armor extended across the shoulders and down to the top of the stomach. The Fire Nation insignia was visible on the front directly beneath the neck area on the chest. The armor signified great power and was likely made of fine material only available to royalty and nobles.
