Alpha: They may be small now, but they will grow into Fierce Dogs soon enough. Nasty, wicked creatures.
Lucky: They don't have to grow up that way. No dog is born vicious. Just like I wasn't born streetwise. The Fierce Dogs are taught to be aggressive... their lives make them what they are.

Is Azula really as evil as she seems? Or is there more to her?
Michael Dante DiMartino: As all the Avatar characters, even Azula has a softer side, though it's buried very deep. As "The Beach" and "Sozin's Comet" showed, she has a lot of unresolved issues with her mother. She really feels that her mother didn't love her as much as Zuko, and this drives her crazy, literally.
Bryan Konietzko: There are obviously some truly evil people in the world, but in the case of Azula, her repressed emotions and jealousies corroded her spirit and made her become that way. It is possible that she could have turned out better in a healthier environment, but growing up in a royal family of a nation seeking world domination proved to exacerbate her problems. But Zuko and Katara spared her life, and who knows, she might have a chance to heal after the war.
