Who knows? The thing about this subject is that it is determined purely by taste; one might as well ask why one person likes meat and the other is a vegetarian. Or why two different people like two different flavors of ice-cream. As I said, it all comes down to taste. Personally, I think that many of the original Azula fans from when she made her debut in season two were drawn to her pure, utter, perfect evil. She was the definiton of good villain, and (lets face it) who doesn't have some slight, perverted attraction to the dark side? Speaking of which, people love her for the same reason that so many Star Wars fans fell in love with Darth Vader.
For me, Azula has several things going for her:
- Looks: See above pictures
- Redefines the word evil: See above paragraph
- Fascinating Character: After being somewhat 2-dimmensional in B2, in B3 she becomes one of the most complex characters in the series
- Kicks butt: It is one of the enduring mysteries of the male mind that a tough girl with a gun (or the ability to shoot fire from her fingertips) is about as sexy as it gets.
- Attitude and personality: kind of hard to explain why it attracts me, but it is undeniable - she defies the world, I like that in a person.
- This AMV, made by another Azula fan. No matter how many times I see it, I never tire of watching it:

- Did I mention that she is hot?
- A whole bunch of other things that I am way to tired at the moment to list.
