A skilled cosplayer has brought Avatar: The Last Airbender’s Azula to life with their mind-bending costume. The artist’s faithful re-creation of the sinister princess will have you feeling the heat.
The Last Airbender originally aired on Nickelodeon in 2005. Its story about a monk named Aang who can bend the four elements of earth, water, air, and fire connected with millions.
A cosplayer shared their insanely accurate take on the series villain Azula. The artist’s detailed re-creation of the Fire Nation royalty is one of the best things you will ever see.
Cosplayer becomes fiery Azula
The series follows Avatar Aang on his quest to master the elements and bring balance to the world. However, throughout the story, he is ruthlessly hunted down by Azula.
Cosplayer ‘Zab Ashton’ transformed into the popular character, re-creating a fight scene between the princess and her brother Prince Zuko. Photographer ‘adoylible‘ captured the artist striking her bending stance.
