PERSONALITY: At this point in her life Azula feels like she really has lost it all. Her status, her home, even her mind to some degree. To put it plainly she's miserable.
Most of the time, Azula can be haughty, snobby and downright mean having been raised all her life to believe that she was just born better then others. And on top of superior breeding by way of being a Fire Nation Royal, she adds to her sense of superiority by having trained daily to be more physically and mentally competent and capable then most adults in her world.
All her life she's been a prodigy and the pressure of that combined with her ambition drove her to great heights. She was a war hero! She helped her father achieve his goals after her elder brother had failed time and time again and where did that get her? She almost had the crown, the position of leadership she had spent all her life striving for and it was snatched away from her at the last minute.
She feels like her brother, mother and life in general cheated somehow.
She can be paranoid, growing anxious and suspicious of even those closest to her due to two of her most loyal "friends" betraying her when she was ordering them to cross a moral threshold they were unwilling to cross. The paranoia can grow to such degrees that she has hallucinations of her mother whom she believed for a time was somehow the mastermind behind her downfall.
The reality of it is that her mother was always more doting on Zuko being the first son and in turn Azula felt neglected. She would lash out and her mother would scold her to the point where Azula has said "Even my own mother thought I was a monster." Of course Azula will then laugh it off saying her mother was right but it's clear that rejection early on in her life is what set the stage for so much down the line.
When things aren't all terrible Azula can actually be fun and thoughtful at times even going so far as to be frivolous. While vacationing on Ember Island with her brother and two friends (Before their falling out) Azula spontaneously decided that she would pretend not to be a Princess but instead be a normal Fire Nation teenager. At a party they were invited to she even took some lessons from her friend Ty Lee on how to flirt with a boy. It was petty and beneath her but she enjoyed herself all the same.
Then once she had determined the evening was over and everyone was in a bad mood she and her brother and friends returned to wreck the party and set the building on fire. Good times.
She can be cruel, she can be ruthless and she takes particular joy in showing people up, but after losing as much as she's lost she's been forced to accept she still has a long way to go. She isn't even sure she wants the throne anymore after seeing how quickly the citizens accepted Zuko as their new leader and were willing to just abandon the war that her family had spent a century winning.
But if she's not the Fire Lord, and there's no war for her to help win then what's left for a young prodigy who rose to the top and was knocked all the way back down so fast?
ORGANIC FORM: Active and athletic human.
SUITABILITY/REACTION: I believe that Azula would prove to be a useful member of the team mostly due to her physical capabilities and her tactical mind. She may be emotionally unstable at this point in her canon, having hallucinations and mood swings of a sort, but that's really just a fun little additional difficulty to try and work around isn't it? More importantly being kept as far away as possible from The Fire Nation and her family will give Azula an opportunity to try and find other things she wants, exploring who she is without her title, duties and the baggage of what her family has done to the world.
NOTES, QUESTIONS, COMMENTS: If/when we get the ability to unlock powers and abilities, Azula's powers involved the creation and manipulation of Fire as well as a more refined and dangerous ability to create and wield lightning from her fingertips.
