Where did the name of Azula come from? Oh, of course, in the universe she is named after her grandfather, Fire Lord Azulon. But what about a creative point of view? The root of her name is "Azul" - the Spanish word for "blue". (A shadow of blue is named Azur in English and shares a common etymology with Azul.)

This is an appropriate name because blue reflects the azula in many ways. Blue fire is something contradiction in people's eyes. We accept blue as a cool color and red/orange as warm, although the reality of fire is opposite; Blue, cool color by cultural definition, burns the hottest. This contradiction reflects the basic parts of Azula. It is powerful, but is not implemented in the way you expect the game.

The fire is an element that symbolizes the lack of restraint. (Fiery is an adjective that is often combined with "passion" or "rage" no Describe the Azula.

Azula is cold, calculated, manipulative and total control. She has anger, for sure, but she is focused. Despite her mastery over the fire of the element, she is not so fiery to a person on the surface. She is Cool And cold in its cruelty - just as cool as blue. It is a total contrast to her brother with her head. Zuko's flames are red-orange, which are The colors we considered "hot" because the red-orange fire is more common than the blue fire. Azula thinks with his head, Zuko thinks with his heart.

The defining difference between the brothers and the sisters is in the episode of the season 2 "The Chase", where they both chase Aang. Azula follows Aang in an abandoned building where the upper floor has entered. It almost falls, but it looks before she jumps and catches. Zuko, don't bother to look, race behind Azula and then fall on his face.

Another creative decision for Azula's blue flame was technical. In "Avatar: The last air traffic (the art of the animated series)," Dimartino added that "practically the blue also helped to distinguish the attacks (Azula) from Zuko's red fire plates during their epic battles." When Zuko and Azula have their last Agni Kai in the "comet of Sosin", You can tell which flame originates from which Firebender in its color.

So, it is quite clear that the Avatar team had no world -wide building when they painted Azula Blue's flame. But "Avatar: The Last Air Traffic" shouldn't have explained the blue fire of Azula; It was a smart enough show to trust Her viewers to gather the meanings themselves. These meanings lie in symbolism and characterization, not Ore.
