Azula Trilogy/Characters

Note: Characters who appear in the trilogy but are largely the same as their canon selves won't be listed here, as it would be mostly a rehash of their Avatar: The Last Airbender character sheet entries. Main series page is here.

Princess Azula
Princess of the Fire Nation, last seen canonically in the midst of an epic Villainous Breakdown. After spending the next several months in a catatonic state, she was "rescued" by General Azun's men and set on a path to regain her sanity- and bring her into a confrontation with her most dangerous enemy...


 * Anti-Hero
 * Brought Down to Normal: While amnesiac, she can't firebend.
 * Character Alignment: Neutral Evil-->True Neutral-->
 * Dark Action Girl
 * Determinator
 * Easy Amnesia: After coming out of her catatonia, her memories are so jumbled and twisted they give her little help in putting her identity together, but...
 * Amnesiac Dissonance is averted - her personality is still largely the same, albeit somewhat less ruthless.
 * Magnificent Bastard-->
 * Playing With Fire and Shock and Awe

General Azun
A cousin of the Fire Nation royal family and a true fanatic to its cause, Azun genuinely believes that Fire Nation rule would be best for the world, and he'll go to almost any length to see it happen. His first goal- putting Azula, who he sees as the rightful heir, back on the throne.


 * Anti-Villain: Type 1.
 * Authority Equals Asskicking: He's not as good as Ozai, Iroh, or Azula, but he's still a lot stronger than the average firebender.
 * Even Evil Has Standards: Azun has no tolerance for pointless cruelty.
 * Lawful Evil
 * Moral Myopia: Minor example-he's incredibly honorable and applies to the laws of warfare, but Patriotic Fervor doesn't begin to describe his nationalism.
 * Noble Demon
 * Playing With Fire
 * Well-Intentioned Extremist/ Utopia Justifies the Means

 * Ax Crazy
 * Badass Abnormal
 * Chaotic Evil

 * Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds

Ty Lee
A member of the Kyoshi Warriors, and Azula's ex-friend and sidekick from during the show. The two team up to track down Ursa.


 * Action Girl
 * Chaotic Good: The influence of Suki and the other Kyoshi Warriors helped develop her from her canon Chaotic Neutral.
 * Cloudcuckoolander
 * Easily Forgiven: She's the only one to let Azula off the hook easily- largely because it's not really in her character to hold a grudge for more than a few days.
 * The Heart

Ursa
Azula and Zuko's mother, ex-wife of Fire Lord Ozai and a captive of the warlord Jian Chin.


 * Action Mom: In this interpretation, Ursa is a firebender and while not a true warrior, she does have a degree of martial skill she will use if pressed.
 * The Atoner: For killing Azulon and thereby allowing Ozai to take the throne, as well as for other things which are only hinted at.
 * Lady of War
 * Mama Bear
 * Silk Hiding Steel: Enough so that Azula is utterly surprised that her mother developed on the fly.

 * The Brute
 * Chaotic Evil
 * Large and In Charge
 * Meaningful Name: Jian Chin honors Chin the Conqueror.
 * Smug Snake
 * Unskilled but Strong: As an earthbender, he's just shy of Toph/Bumi level . Fortunately for the world, he's also dumber than a sack of bricks.

Ilook
A psychotic waterbender with quicksilver mood swings and a terrible temper who hires himself out as a mercenary. He first meets Azula when working for a pirate captain. A spectacularly powerful waterbending warrior, his insanity is his greatest weakness, since it makes him terrible at planning or self-control. .


 * An Ice Person: He favors ice-based waterbending techniques.
 * Ax Crazy
 * Bad Boss: Never let him have any henchmen if you want to see them again.
 * Cold-Blooded Torture: By corrupting waterbending healing, he's able to create a technique that just does this.

 * Karmic Death: And how!
 * Psycho for Hire
 * Slasher Smile

 * Big Bad
 * Chaotic Evil
 * Chessmaster
 * Complete Monster
 * Cruel and Unusual Death:
 * Faux Affably Evil
 * Foe Yay: To Azula.
 * Logic Bomb: Azula's Hannibal Lecture is basically this to him.
 * Physical God
 * Uncanny Valley: Its true form is of a handsome, androgynous human, with just enough of its features subtly off to make it deeply unnerving.
 * Villainous Breakdown: Occurs after Azula's badass Hannibal Lecture/"The Reason You Suck" Speech.
