    I like Jet because I honestly think he's a sociopath. I mean, he's got so much charisma and makes friends very easily. But, when pushed, he snaps. He doesn't think clearly and will do anything to achieve his goals. The definition is, "Someone whose social behavior is extremely abnormal. Sociopaths are interested only in their personal needs and desires, without concern for the effects of their behavior on others." Also, they are compulsive liars. I think it describes him pretty well. Any other ideas?

    Kind of, but Jet is much more likable. He puts on a front. Azula doesn't do that. Also, Azula doesn't lie. She tells it like it is.

    But he has violent mood swings and a disregard for any type of moral compass.

    Actually no, Azula is not a sociopath - she is a megalomaniac. Azula's behavior is certainly abnormal, and she is a very good liar, but those both stem from personal choices rather than her psych. The definition of a megalomaniac is someone who has a compulsive need to remain in total control of their surroundings - a description that fits Azula like a glove. When megalomaniacs find they cannot control the situation, they snap - which was what happened to Azula in the finale.

    So,

    Jet = sociopath

    Azula = megalomaniac

    There is a difference.

    Not really. While i agree he does have mood swings, he does have moral compass. He is fighting for what he believes to be the greather good. which makes him a vigilanti. But at the end of Lake Logai i believe he actually feels remorse for his actions.
