Fans of Naruto remember a guy named Gaara. Remember how he liked to make people explode. Well if you follow japanese manga he's not so bad any more.

Maybe Azula is "Gaara."

I can not see Azula ever helping out Team Avatar. I think she'd rather kill herself.

Mai and Ty Lee, however, are a different story.

Azula is a perfectionist through and through. To her she has no equal even the Avatar. Especially not her big brother. She pushes herself to be perfect "Almost isn't good enough." But, she's arrogant too. If someone even appears to out do her she finds someway to take a moral victory over them i.e: Knocking down Ty Lee for being more agile and laughing at her for it, pretending to surrender when she was cornered then attacking(her eye twitched which could mean she's psychotic too). Azula's desire to be the best is futher proven cuz she uses blue flames probably cuz she thinks that means she's the strongest, not to mention her lightning ability(though this she hasn't mastered, Iroh's lightning was much much larger then her own). All that said, I think her arrogance and drive to be perfect will be her undoing. Iroh taught Zuko that he can redirect lightning, something Azula doesn't even know of. Sounds like a perfect poetic justice for her own power being thrown right back at her. Would having her brother turn her attack against her(if it doesn't killer her that is) put her on the path to being good? Beats me...

I lot of people keep on saying things like, 'They won't kill Azula, this is a kiddy Nick show". But have you forgotten that they have already killed multiple characters? There was the Warden who couldn't swim and was thrown overboard in the middle of the ocean, for one,??and there was of course Zhao. And it's not just villains who have suffered. They've also killed off Yue... sort of (technically it was the original moon spirit that died). And deaths have been mentioned multiple times as well.

If they do kill off Azula, the actual moment of the death will probably not be shown though, like with Zhao.

I have an interesting theory about Azula, and I wasn't sure whether to just post it here or make a new thread. Anyways, my theory involves those two hags that were teaching Azula. Something about the creepy way they talked in unison once and the way they seemed to appear from nowhere in a certain scene on the boat gave me a crazy idea.

What if those old crones are not normal people, but some sort of spirits that only Azula can see?

My idea is that for some reason, Azula has been able to see and communicate with them since she was born. And these spirits are both very knowledgeable when it comes to Fire Bending... and completely and utterly evil.
