* GambitRoulette: Her plan to take over the Earth Kingdom is essentially this. The basic idea of it is taking over the Dai Li, and to do that she has Mai and Ty Lee openly talk about being from Fire Nation, which leads to them capturing her, and she's taken to Long Feng, and he strikes a deal with her where they help each other since she has the Earth King's trust since Azula is disguised as a Kyoshi Warrior, and she's allowed to take control of the Dai Li, and leads them for just long enough to get their loyalty. This could backfire in so many ways, like the Dai Li could capture her without trying to start a deal so she, Ty Lee and Mai would be imprisoned with no way to escape, they could start a deal but she wouldn't be allowed to lead them, or she could be allowed to lead them but the Dai Li could ultimately choose to not side with her. Essentially her entire plan relied completely on taking over the Dai Li, with a bunch of ways to fail, and there were no backups at all.

* LightningBruiser: An almost literal example, considering her skill with creating lightning. Azula is the second fastest and most acrobatic bender after Aang (she regularly outpaces Zuko and even Toph is unable to land a blow on her). She also hits extremely hard - her blue flames pack a concussive force unseen in normal red flames, and one well-placed strike was enough to incapacitate Iroh for several days.

* TalentedButTrained: Azula is a firebending prodigy, even by the royal family standards, but it would be a great mistake to say that she only relies on her talent or rests on her laurels. She spends a lot of time training and practicing her firebending, and doesn't stop until she deems her technique perfect, as well as her hand-to-hand skills with her being an incredibly skilled martial artist too as a result. Indeed, her acrobatic skills alone were enough to allow her to evade both Aang and Toph, despite being in an underground tunnel.

Added DiffLines:

* CripplingOverspecialization: Azula seems like TheAce since she's a Firebending prodigy and a master strategist, but her upbringing only fostered her talents for combat and violence. She struggles to forge meaningful relationships (Ty Lee seems to be her only genuine friend) and is unable to understand how to motivate people with tools other than fear.

I don't think she qualifies. She's slightly more sympathetic than her father, but compared to her brother she's much less innocent, so the gender dynamic there isn't cut and dry.


* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: As much of a cruel DaddysGirl as she is throughout her appearance, there's no denying that her own father Ozai '''[[AbusiveDad has MADE her]]''' into that, as well. Additionally, unlike him, she's also surprisngly capable of being emotionally vulnerable and (in ''some'' ways) instinctive, thus there's '''''at least''''' a portion of humanity inside of her for a fearsome firebender.

** [[spoiler: By extension, her opinion of Zuko has also improved to some extent: Although still cruel and conniving, she insists that he has the abilities to be "strong" like herself and apparently wants to rule as Fire Lord alongside him in the shaows. Observing Zuko's public apology to the citizenry, Azula remained smug, confident that he would eventually come around to her way of thinking.]]

* TheSociopath: She's a ManipulativeBitch, a pathological ConsummateLiar ("Azula always lies..."), and a ControlFreak. Subverted since not only she fails to demonstrate [[TheHedonist pathological need for stimulation]] and lack of impulse control, but also she reveals aspects sociopaths don't have. She has NoSocialSkills, harbors self-loathing out of belief that her MissingMom considered her a monster, [[WellDoneDaughterGirl seeks to please her father no matter the cost]], and suffers from a massive VillainousBreakdown triggered by [[spoiler:the betrayal of her closest friends and her father]]. It's also confirmed by [[WordOfGod Bryke's]] word in ''Sozin's Comet: The Final Battle'' that she could have turned better in a healthier environment.
** Also subverted in that since Azula is underaged, she cannot be diagnosed as a sociopath (a person with ASPD who is 18 or older), but could be considered to have Conduct Disorder. CD is essentially sociopathy in its early stages, and also fits well with Azula's social awkwardness, as most sociopaths don't learn how to be superficially charming until they're in adulthood. With this in mind, Azula has the potential to be a sociopath, but enough intervention can prevent this.
