Canon
Azula and Ty Lee were childhood friends and classmates at the Royal Fire Academy for Girls. They always enjoyed being around each other, even though Azula picked on her occasionally. She was jealous of Ty Lee's acrobatic skills. Azula did not like it when anybody bested her in any skill and was even shown pushing her over at one point. However, they still got along and pranked their mutual friend Mai together.

Eventually, Azula tried to recruit Ty Lee to help her hunt the Avatar but she refused because she was enjoying her life in the circus. Because of this, Azula stayed for her performance and purposely made it more dangerous for her in order to coerce her into joining her. It worked and Ty Lee decided to join Azula.

Months later, Azula and Ty Lee were on a vacation at Ember Island together. Azula was irritated with seeing a bunch of boys flirting with Ty Lee and eventually told her that she was just making herself easy. Ty Lee immediately started to cry so Azula apologized to her and admitted that she was jealous. Ty Lee then gave Azula advice with flirting. Later, the group was at the beach together and Azula laughed when Zuko made fun of Ty Lee and called her a "circus freak" but demonstrated genuine concern for her while she was talking about her past with her family.

Zuko eventually betrayed the Fire Nation and sided with Team Avatar so the group was fighting them at the Boiling Rock. Mai turned on Azula in order to help Zuko escape from the Boiling Rock. Azula was about to attack her in retaliation until Ty Lee chi blocked her. Azula was very hurt by Ty Lee's betrayal and eventually lost her sanity.

Ty Lee would eventually see Azula over a year later and was still shown to be afraid of her. She even chi-blocked Azula even though she was still in a straightjacket at the time. Azula recognized her and accused her of conspiring with her mother Ursa, as she had been hallucinating her at times. Ty Lee denied this claim and openly asked why Azula was so mean all the time.
