Virgo Azula

Virgo Azula [乙女座 (バルゴ) アズラ, Barugo no Azura] is one of the Gold Signers in the 20th Century, as well as the lover of High Priestess Ayra. She is known as the "Reincarnation of Buddha", and was worshiped in her home country of India. Much like her predecessors, she is detached with her comrades and views life as a cycle of constant reincarnation. She is the 1st reincarnation of Virgo Jasmine and the 16th reincarnation of Virgo Ereshkigal, the original Virgo Signer who was the only Signer to enter back into the Cycle of Reincarnation. Azula is a powerful individual and is regarded as the true head of the Gold Class Signers, and even the Gemini Saints powerful in their own right respect her judgement.

Personality
As a Bodhisattva, and endowed with the most powerful cosmos of all the Signers, Azula well deserves her reputation as the woman closest to God. Even as a child in India, Azula was precocious and communed with Buddha himself, a scene recounted in the flashbacks moments before Azula`s final fight against Andromeda Haley, her discipline that was being controlled by Ra. Detachment seems to be Azula's answer to the poignant questions raised by human life, and she is seeing humanity from the point of God rather than living the experience. She would be disabused of this attitude in her encounter with Hannah. In the end, Azula would have to remember that she is a woman as well, and return to whence she came. After the battle in the 12 temples she still maintains a cool attitude and, prefers to fight only if there is a reason as shown in Wind and Fury.The size of her heart cannot be measured because she will act on her own justice and reality that she thinks befits herself. Among the Gold Class, Azula is not interested in material things and is selfless enough to sacrifice herself to end the constant warring between the Olympians and other hostile Deities.

Childhood
She was isolated as the woman closest to God, chosen as the successor to the Virgo Armor. Trained in the ways of Hinduism, and Buddhism, she became known as a Bodhisattva or "enlightened one" causing many people to respect her judgment when it came to defending her fellow Indians.
