I don't see why she couldn't be in a relationship. I mean, she'll have to be if she wants continue the royal families empire. She can't have kids with herself. If she was to become fire lord, there would need to be someone to take the throne...

If she was to become fire lord, there would need to be someone to take the throne... Not necessarily. If she doesn't want to beget heirs, no one in their right mind will challenge her decision. The Fire Lord's word is law. Fire Lord Azulon was more than willing to pass the throne to Iroh, who was childless after Lu Ten's death. Let's say Iroh had assumed his rightful destiny and died without heirs ( which he would've ). What then? Azulon clearly wasn't concerned about it. I'm apt to believe Azula wouldn't care what would happen to the Fire Nation after her death. She likely sees herself as the best thing going for it. Without her, what would she care? A power-struggle between the nobility and the military would likely suit her just fine.

For some odd reason, that never even crossed my mind. Fire Lord Azulon was more than willing to pass the throne to Iroh, who was childless after Lu Ten's death. Let's say Iroh had assumed his rightful destiny and died without heirs ( which he would've ). What then? Azulon clearly wasn't concerned about it. 1 problem. It was Ozai who became Fire Lord, and we still don't know what exactly went down. It's said that Azulon's last wish was for Ozai to become Fire Lord. If so, then perhaps Azulon did take the future of the Fire Nation empire into consideration. Let's not forget that part of the reason this war started is because Sozen wanted to expand the Fire Nations empire. I'm apt to believe Azula wouldn't care what would happen to the Fire Nation after her death. She likely sees herself as the best thing going for it. Without her, what would she care? A power-struggle between the nobility and the military would likely suit her just fine. I'm not sure about this. I guess it depends on if Azula is fighting for the same motives as the Fire Lord.

The way you talked reminded me of a general of china someone told me about. I do not remember his name, but they say he was so ruthless that the only type of love he showed was to his dogs and his boyfriend. Yes he was gay, so sue me.
That reminded me of Azula. So ruthless and cruel that the only love she shows is for Ty Lee and Mai. There was a topic over at ASN about which character should come out of the closet if anyone had to. I think it would be Azula. Just to make her that type of general I mentioned above.
Now we all know that Mai isn't gay, far from it. Ty Lee maybe, but I highly doubt it. If they did push that Azula was gay, they will never directly come out with it, being that it's a kid's show still and is on Nick. It was something you have to figure out for yourself.
But it does seem like Azula only shows affection for her friends. Probably the only people she ever should that emotion too. Zuko maybe added to the list, but she is possibly just toling with her "little brother."

If so, then perhaps Azulon did take the future of the Fire Nation empire into consideration. Let's not forget that part of the reason this war started is because Sozen wanted to expand the Fire Nations empire. There's a huge discrepancy between Azulon's fury toward Ozai and his so-called "final wish" ( which could have been forged, for all we know -- why he would suddenly change his mind after such a display of anger and leave the throne to his pretentious son is mind-boggling ). Regardless, my original point stands about the Fire Lord's word and decisions being final. The way you talked reminded me of a general of china someone told me about. I do not remember his name, but they say he was so ruthless that the only type of love he showed was to his dogs and his boyfriend. Yes he was gay, so sue me. That reminded me of Azula.

I think it would be Azula. Just to make her that type of general I mentioned above. I'm not sure who you were addressing, but I just had to respond to this! Your invocation of the General is fascinating, and therein lies a possibility of such ideals applying to Azula. You've earned yourself a karma. I would be so appreciative for a link to that thread. I would love to read it. If they did push that Azula was gay, they will never directly come out with it, being that it's a kid's show still and is on Nick. It was something you have to figure out for yourself. Absolutely. And I think such a stranglehold on the show is a travesty. A few "hints" would be nice... after all, they managed to get away with Toph kissing Suki on the cheek, however accidental an action it was. For all intents and purposes, Azula appears to be asexual. Simply lacking an interest in either gender is more acceptable from a network's standpoint than same-sex attractions. Several of her actions can be inferred as showing a gravitation -- however small -- toward girls, and I would easily subscribe to the idea if further expansion was possible.

If Azula were to have a relashionship, then I hate to be the one to tell you all this, but she would be the one who wears the iron bra in the relashionship!

^^For some reason, I have this mental image of lying in bed with Azula (after having done the deed) and her turning into a preying mantis and biting my head off. Anybody else get that feeling??? -- SpiritBender
