Seems like the netflix avatar made Azula seem like a victim cause women can never be evil by themselves

Azula was a psychopath in every sense of the word, jealous that her brother had so much of her mother's love and that he was the heir to be until he spoke out of line.
She had her own 'team' who she not only saw as extremely useful but loyal to ONLY her so when they 'betrayed her' (In reality Mai said it herself, she loves Zuko MORE than she fears her) and then she is stopped from killing Mai by Ty Lee this makes her less restrained because she's now on her own directly under Ozai.
When Ozai goes off to burn the world, she no longer has any restraints and just loses herself in her own ego, it's why Zuko for once ACTUALLY had a chance to beat her in a straight fight, she was 'slipping'.
She wasn't a victim that was made evident in the media featuring her but she was so wrapped up in her ego that her own delusions made her BELIEVE she was the hurt party.
I always get psychopaths and sociopaths mixed up--even after looking up the definitions of both.
Azula was fucking NUTS. And that's okay for a character to be.
As Iroh said, "No, she's crazy, and she needs to go down."
Seeing her finally become Fire Lord, at the very instant it becomes a worthless figurehead position, was so fucking satisfying. One of the many reasons I adore those 61 episodes as much as I do.
There really isn't a distinction between these terms
