I had started to think (more recently) that Mai and Ty Lee's betrayal, which ultimately led to Azula's insanity, was not just that. It wasn't just that she trusted them, and they betrayed her. I saw it as another case of her childhood coming back to haunt her. Ursa always loved Zuko more, and that is the root of all her problems. In Mai's case, it was ANOTHER case of someone loving Zuko more, choosing Zuko over her. And THAT drove her to finally snap. Then, like a cherry on top, Ty Lee sided with Mai - and in Azula's mind, she could easily see this as Ty Lee ALSO siding with Zuko over her. Huh, that's a fascinating way of putting it. That I could buy--it makes a lot more sense than her being so broken by betrayal, when deception is one of her greatest tools. But choosing Zuko over her makes sense, especially when she has that freakout over Ozai's departure--he was the only one she had, and to think that he would treat her dismissively as well... yikes.

I have found something on a Korra Fanforum: TO ALL AZULA FANS: The call to action is NOW!
This is operation “Dear Azula” HOW: We will send them to Mike, Bryan and Gene. Since Mike and Bryan closed the snail mail, some people believed that Bryke shunned the fandom. But with the opening of Bryan's Tumblr account, we have a chance. I suggest everyone should write notes to Bryan with your letters directed to Azula. If enough fans do this, Bryan will listen. As for Gene, he has a "Contact us" thing on his website. Use that to send e-mails to Gene with your letters. WHEN: Now until Bryan says something WHY: Azula has a large and loyal following and for three years we fans have prayed that she would be able to get over her nervous breakdown and be out of the asylum as quickly as possible. The news that she would appear in “the promise” and that she got to keep her firebending sparked a bit of hope within the entire fan community. But that is not enough In the interview with avatar wikia it was said, “Gene Yang agrees with the rest of the Avatar community that Azula is a layered and fascinating character. He couldn’t tell us much about of the princess but she will definitely show up in The Promise, which discusses her being put away in the insane asylum.” The phrase “discusses her being put away in the insane asylum.” indicates that she may still be there and we hope that is not the case. Gene he also stated that while Aang’s and Katara’s destiny’s may have already been decided but everybody else’s is still up in is the air. The promise is not yet completed yet nor is Korra, both scripts are still being finalized. Azula's "fate" has NOT yet been sealed we feel that Azula is a sympathetic character, Whether or not she is a hero, villain or antihero, Azula was, in the end, just a child looking for acceptance and love. Azula kept herself hidden behind the mask that she showed to everyone but us. Azula was developed into something extraordinary and memorable. but closure was not allowed for her story and we the fans feel emotionally unfulfilled and confused by this. was she so unimportant that she wasn't even to be mentioned after her defeat, when even Ozai got a prison cell visit? Simply put, no one cared and we believe that her ending was both unfair to her and to us. WHO: ALL AZULA FANS SHOULD PARTICIPATE! IF THEY BELIEVE IN AZULA'S CHARACTER! IF THEY BELIEVE IN REDEMPTION! WE ARE TARGETING BRYKE AND GENE LUEN YANG WHO IS DOING "THE PROMISE". WHAT: We're writing letters TO Azula herself and sending them to Bryke and Gene Luen Yang (who are working on "The Promise" Send it as yourself or send it as a character you created All we are requesting is that we let our feelings be known WHERE: send them to www.tumblr.com/tagged/bryke and geneyang.com/contact
(copy and paste this to as many Avatar fan sites and Azula fans as you can find) (are currently 45 of us, please add to the number if you decideWhat do you think??

Ouch; that red hurts my eyes homeslice.
Anyway, while I understand the movement I don't know if it'll garner much support (fans have been petitioning for an ATLA soundtrack for years), however, it would be nice to see some resolution for all the characters, which includes but isn't just limited to Azula. There are a lot of unanswered questions from the conclusion of the original series, and I think we're all dying to get some of the blanks filled in. Granted, Bryke has already done a little bit with some minicomics or series that fill in a few of the gaps, but there's always going to be questions. My fingers are crossed that Korra does a good job of filling in the major gaps.
I leave the rest to my imagination - or fanfiction.

In season 2 Azula was presented as a perfect princess - strong and beautiful, firebending prodigy who always had everything under control. But the season 3 gave us something else: Azula admitting to be jealous to Ty Lee, her friends leaving her side and of course the infamous break down. Azula has always fascinated me and I don't find her Mary-Sueish at all.
I just wonder did the FN citizens knew how cruel she really was. Well, then again I suppose they just admired that...
