After the end of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Azula was captured by her brother Zuko and imprisoned after her mental breakdown. In the comic series Smoke and Shadow, which takes place after the events of the show, Azula is released from the mental institution by Zuko to help him and Team Avatar find out what happened to their mother. Azula also leads a group of firebenders and starts the New Ozai Society, which was a ploy to make Zuko more ruthless so he could rule the Fire Nation more confidently. Azulas fate beyond the comics is unknown, as she was not mentioned or seen in the sequel series, The Legend of Korra.
