Setting the Stage
Let us travel to the darkest of the dark, the cruelest of the cruel…
And learn their secrets
Their identities
Their source

"Two of the Same Branch: Mirrored Faces"
An unrhymed poem

Deadly Mirror
Poisonous Branch
Producing the unthinkable
The things we fear the most
So different
And yet so alike
xxx
Intertwining
In endless dark web
Drawing you in
To never come out
False Words
False Pretenses
The art of deception
The sweet taste of death
Of hope
Of light
Of everything to care about
Of you
xxx
Shattered mirror reveals a secret
The things both share
Opposite sides of black glass
Divided by a line of allusion
Distorted appearances to naked eye
xxx
Endlessly old
Claims the identity of youth
Precious marks and features
Knows all
xxx
All too young
Clutches older lives
A bloody ageless inheritance
Discovers everything
xxx
Exposed they are
Thousand eerie faces
Ugly and delightful
One perfect face
Beauty and spiteful
Split from the physical world
And the faces residing in it…
Uses face as a shell, a power
Yet sometimes wishes the mask…
…To come off
xxx
Their curse
Division, Alienation
Their weapon
Slow Poison of Tongue
Their cage
Matter,
Physical forms,
Crafted from steel creature's claws
xxx
Many and one
Of the same vine
Producing deadly fruit
A warning sign
Ripe in blood
Of generations

Spirit
King in his own right
Of lost expressions
Those who have
A face no more

Heiress
Born of evil breed
Bred to kill and connive
Constant treachery
Without a soul

Crawling!
Koh
Ruthless!

One and the same

The last line gives me a chill every time I read it…
Note: Doing this for art's sake and as a visual piece on these interesting/similar characters, not because I like to scare people…Paaleeeze, WHY would I want to do that?
Tell me if it is hard to tell the different descriptions of Azula and Koh apart after you read it, and review! Thanks.
DON't have to read this part...
Here's my ramble on it:
A little darker than I usually write, but this just came to me randomly. I'm trying to challenge myself (Aang and Katara are easy to write about, cuz I relate 2 katara…but I love them anyways!)
Azula and Koh are so very similar when you come down to it. You just love to hate them! Koh freaks me out personally. I don't see how any ten year olds could watch that episode of him in the spirit world! If I was ten, Koh would be my "boogie man"… cuz I'm really visual. (insect like body+stealing heads Yikes!) No horror movies at night alone, thank you. Just scary stories w/ friends :)
Writing stuff or reading stuff like this doesn't scare me as much, unless it's just downright disturbing…so I don't look at that stuff, or even think that stuff.
Quote from fairycloud22's head: "Everything is less frightening in black and white." It's true!
I've wanted to do a character analysis on Azula for a while…Really, it is ingenious how Mike and Bryan (and other avatar staff) make everything, yes everything she says covered in a good healthy coating of venom…If anything, it is so fun to hate her! A lot more than Koh, though he is interesting part of the spirit world.
I know they can be considered antagonists/very flat characters, but the similarities between them, the overwhelming amount of evil they could contain, was what actually inspired me, if you can say evil is inspiring, more like discuting/revolting and invokes a strong emotional response…
fairycloud22 (while writing this):
"I DISLIKE YOU VERY STRONGLY AZULA! How dare you lie to Zuko!!!! You lieing, cheating….."
Many (g-rated) insults later...("Daughter of a fire lord!!" ;D but that's not really an insult, to her at least. Try calling Katara that...)
"Ew…Creepy crawly Koh stuff…BLEH…don't really want to go there…but I will for the sake of writing and art!"
Azula- shrugs w/ evil smile "If you say so..."
