Demon With An Angel's Face
Disclaimer: Don't own Avatar. The end.
A small drabble that focuses on Azula being a demonic prodigy and a pretty angel faced girl.
There was no doubt about it. Azula was a very pretty girl. She had the most golden amber eyes in her family and her smooth jet black hair was flawless and perfect. Nothing should be flawed for this prodigy.
However, as soon as Ursa gave birth to this baby girl, she knew something was...demonic about her.
You see, Azula never played with dolls. She ripped their heads off and tied them to small, burning stakes in the courtyard. Ursa had seen her do that once to a doll that her uncle Iroh had brought back.
Also, Ursa observed, Azula was two faced.
"Mom! Azula stole my dagger!" little Zuko would often whine to Ursa as Azula put on her biggest, angelic face on. Even then, Ursa had no choice but to let Azula off the hook and steal back whatever Azula stole from Zuko.
Ursa also noticed Azula didn't have the need to make friends. Azula was popular, and had certainly attracted a following back at her academy. But out of the crowd, Azula only paid attention to two little girls whose parents Ursa knew very well. A pink, bubbly and somewhat naive girl by the name of Ty Lee and the shy, quiet and solemn Mai. Even then, Azula would bully them around and Ursa would often sigh and shake her head whenever the two little girls followed Azula's demands and were to her every whim.
Ursa was taught to never favor one child above another. Unfortunately, her husband's side of the family was against all of Ursa's morals. They looked down on Zuko, and praised Azula as if she were the firstborn son.
She still wonders if she was cursed to give birth to a prodigy with an angel's face but with a heart of ice.
