Azula: 1. While it was obvious that Ty Lee was devoted to her, it was Mai's betrayal that hurt her the most - mostly because, just like her mother, she picked Zuko over her, and it cut way too deeply to the core. Ty Lee's betrayal was less about Zuko and more about stopping Azula from murdering Mai - something she could probably forgive easier. 2. When it comes to Zuko, she sees in as everything she's afraid of becoming, which is why she seems to hate him so much. In reality, she's afraid of him - especially when it becomes clear that he surpasses her, all without subjecting himself to what she herself does to get ahead. 3. She really and truly believed that Ozai at least loved her, if not anyone else. She had put the hope of love on him - love that should have come from two parents - and as a result built him up to an almost demigod. That's why it's especially hard for her not just to lose, but to realise that he lost, as well.
Cassie: 1. She really doesn't care too much about blood, pus, urine, or poop, but when it comes to vomit... it's her one real squick, and she tries to avoid it as best as she can. 2. There's a small part of her that is thrilled to fight, even though the greater part of her is disgusted and ashamed. 3. Even though they parted amicably at the end (sort of), she still holds a torch for Jake for many years following.
