One common theme is redemption. The act of crying can be seen as a first step towards her redemption. It shows that she is not just a cold - hearted villain but has a capacity for remorse and change.
Another reason could be her relationship with her family. Her father's high expectations and conditional love might break her down at some point. Maybe she cries when she recalls the times she had to prove herself to him over and over again, and yet still felt unloved deep inside. It shows a more vulnerable side of her that we don't often see in the original series.
Azula would probably try to use Percy at first. She might see his powers as something she could control or use for her own gain. However, Percy is not one to be easily manipulated. He would resist her attempts, which could lead to some intense verbal sparring between them. As time goes on, they might develop a grudging respect for each other. For example, Percy might admire Azula's strategic mind, and Azula could respect Percy's loyalty to his friends.
Crying could be described according to different situations and characters. There were a few possible ways to describe it:
1. Crying sadly: The eyes are red and swollen, and the tears are constantly flowing. The lips are slightly opened, as if they are silently pouring out the pain in their hearts.
2. Crying in despair: Tears poured out like a waterfall. His eyes were hazy and he looked depressed as if he had lost all his strength.
3. Crying angrily: The eyes are red and swollen, and the tears are like boiling flames. The expression on the face also becomes angry and resentful.
4. Crying in surprise: Tears instantly gushed out of her eyes as if expressing her inner ecstasy and gratitude.
5. Crying in fear: Tears flow from the eyes. The trembling body and helpless heart make people feel fear and uneasiness in their hearts.
Different crying forms could show the character's inner emotions and personality characteristics, and at the same time, it could allow the reader to better understand the character's psychological state.
In some fanfictions, Aang's connection to his past lives plays a crucial role. He could draw on the wisdom and skills of previous Avatars. They might guide him on how to defeat Azula specifically. He could learn a new bending technique from one of his past lives that gives him an edge over Azula's firebending, like a unique way of using water to extinguish her most powerful fire blasts.
Well, you might find fanfictions where Azula's character undergoes a transformation and acquires healing bending through unexpected circumstances or as part of a character growth arc.
Crying on the wedding day did not necessarily mean that she would cry often in the future. It was normal for a bride to cry on her wedding day. It was usually because she was touched and reluctant to part. Some people might cry on their wedding day, but that didn't mean they would cry often in the future. Everyone's mood and mental state were different. The mood on the wedding day could not determine the level of happiness in the future. Therefore, crying on the wedding day did not necessarily lead to crying often.
The Gaang's reaction would be complex. Sokka would probably be on guard but also intrigued. He might start to analyze Azula's motives right away. Toph would be more straightforward. If Azula saved her life directly, she might be more willing to give Azula a chance, but still be ready to fight if things go wrong. Zuko, if he's with the Gaang, would have a really mixed reaction as she is his sister.
Well, initially Azula would probably be suspicious of Naruto. She's not used to having someone around just to protect her without an ulterior motive. But Naruto's straightforwardness and his willingness to put his life on the line for her would start to break down her walls. As they face challenges together, like battles against common enemies or political intrigue within the Fire Nation, their bond would strengthen. Naruto might also teach Azula some ninja techniques, which would bring them closer as they train together. Eventually, they could develop a deep trust and understanding for each other.
Azula could become more empathetic. In the original timeline, she was quite ruthless. But going back in time and seeing things from a different perspective might make her more understanding of others. For example, she might see how her actions affected her family and friends in the long run, and this could change her approach to relationships. She may also be less arrogant as she now realizes that her previous self - assurance didn't always lead to success.
