Summary
There was something very wrong with Azula.
Not just on the level you could see.
Everyone saw her for the monster that she was, even long before she realized it for herself.
Even her own mother had known it.
That was why she’d always favored Zuko over her.
Her perfect first child, her golden boy, was perfect, in her eyes, and could do no wrong. He was sweet and innocent and never even played wrong. He was perfectly content to sit and watch the turtleducks swim around and around in circles in their pond, serene and peaceful.
That wasn’t Azula.
She wasn’t like that, wasn’t born or built for peace and kindness.
She was like her father — destined for greatness, and greatness, as he had told her himself, was only achieved through killing. Through the violence her older brother seemed thoroughly incapable of, for whatever reason.
OR: In which Azula is a sad girl, Mai and Ty Lee cannot convince this girl that there is such a thing as unconditional love but they will hopefully someday, and if Zuko heard about this, he would be marching straight in to give her the hug she so desperately needs.
