This is probably a bad sign
Apparently my new thing is to get angry when people call Azula evil. I mean, she only invaded a city, tried to kill her brother, came up with a viable plan for world-wide genocide and also burned that guy's house down that one time. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN REDEEMED FROM WORSE!
...also, you can't diagnose sociopathy in a fourteen year old, and herobsessive touching devotion to her father and psychological vulnerability after Mai and Ty Lee betray her suggest that, however much Ozai tried, she's not a fully-blown sociopath.
ALSO, when Zuko confronted the futility of the destiny Ozai had chosen for him, hedeveloped emo-itis fell into an angst coma became physically ill and feverish for a few days. When Azula is confronted with her ultimate powerlessness in her father's eyes, she has a full-blown psychotic breakdown. THEY ARE NOT THAT DIFFERENT.
TL;DR it bugs me when people say she has no soul. In serious meta, I mean; obviously Zuko has had cause to wonder.
I was going to compare Azula to Jaime Lannister for some reason, being that they're both considered monsters, but he gets a manly redemption arc. But then I remembered the other thing Jaime is best known for, aside from regicide. *awkward*

... but, but, but Zucest! (Ah, not that Zuko seems like he'd be into it, but Azula really kind of does sometimes.)

AND she has a face-burning example of what would happen if she defied Ozai even a little. Although I don't think she really comprehends until the end that Ozai would treat her the same way.
" (Okay, Li and Lo have been around, but I don't quite get them. Does ANYONE get them? That twin double-act is seriously weird sometimes.)"
It's my private canon that they were the White Loyltus agents assigned to Azula, just as Itoh took care of Zuko, but frankly, I don't think she would have allowed them to guide her the way Iroh did withherbrother.
As for Firecest, such is the stregth of my opposition to it that I've only written it three times for the kinkmeme. So far.

Oh dude, I can totally see that. (And now I kind of want to see them at a White Lotus meeting, with Iroh and Pakku and Bumi and Pindao and all. Is it wrong that I suspect they had a threesome with Bumi back in the day?)
My own private canon has them as Azulon's little sisters. Which I think I might have picked up from someone, but I can't remember who.

...No. No it is not.

I've seen that as well, but I eventually decided they were Azulon's concubines. Er, because. And, you know, stuff.

...No. No it is not.
For all we know, they still have regular threesomes whenever the White Lotus has mixers.

HOMG THAT IS AWESOME TOO.
