Azula had just been out for a walk when she'd found the little stand where someone was shouting about the Equalist movement.  The more they spoke, the more she found herself agreeing with it.  Leave it to Zuko and Aang to build the capital city of their ‘shining new era’ on the backs of everyone they’d decided was ‘lesser’ than them.  After all, one only had to look at what they’d done to Azula to see that in action.  She was still stinging about that, even nine years after her defeat.  Even if seven of those years had been spent far off in the future, thanks to a chance encounter with a spirit.

But now, listening to the impassioned orator speak, she felt her old leanings towards wanting to do something with herself, wanting to be something, wanting power and adoration, all those old feelings stirring back to life.  What better way to make something of herself than to accomplish everything at once?  She’d be on the right side of history this time, she was sure of it, rescuing downtrodden people from cruel overlords.  In so doing, she’d get to tear apart Zuko’s shining city, maybe even smash the statue of him if she was lucky.
