Personality:

Ozai was easily angered, domineering, and insatiably power-hungry. She exhibited these traits from an early age, and Iroh noted that they stemmed from a deep-seated pathological psychology. According to him, Ozai lacked empathy, was "not the understanding type", and never regretted, forgave, or changed her mind about anything. Believing morality to be a sign of weakness, Ozai found peace and kindness laughable concepts and despised those who followed moral principles. As such, she possessed little to no empathy and rarely showed any interest in the feelings of others.

This behavior was strongly influenced by her obsession with control, and in order to achieve total control over the Fire Nation, Ozai was even willing to sacrifice his own family. Confronting Ursa about a false letter she wrote claiming Zuko was Ikem's son after she suspected Ozai had intercepted all her letters home, she declared her hope that their son would never turn out like Ozai. Ozai in turn proclaimed that onward she would treat Zuko cruelly as if he was not his son, all just to spite Ursa. When ordered by Azulon to kill Zuko so that she would know the pain of losing a son, Ozai admitted to Zuko that he would have gladly carried out the murder had Ursa not interfered.

Eventually, she murdered her own father in order to usurp his brother's birthright and become Fire Lord. Similarly, he did not hesitate to sacrifice her subordinates if that meant he would obtain more power. As a result, Ozai supported the idea of sacrificing new recruits to defeat a powerful Earth Kingdom battalion so he could get closer to controlling Ba Sing Se. Likewise, he decided to use the power of Sozin's Comet to destroy the Earth Kingdom without standing still with the human loss that would mean. Despite that, Ozai did believe that a Fire Lord's duty was to protect his people, though he reasoned that was because they were extensions of her divine will as Fire Lord; by attacking them, an opponent attacked him. The ultimate expression of her obsession with control was her aspiration in life to conquer the entire world

Abilities:

Firebending:

Fire Lord Ozai was an incredibly powerful and skilled firebender; it was stated by Zuko that if the Avatar were unable to defeat him, the only other individual capable of doing so would be Iroh, who, despite being one of the most powerful of their time, still was uncertain he could defeat Ozai. Her fighting style was extremely liberal and stressed overbearing, infernal force, fueled by anger, hatred, and personal gain. Before she was crowned Fire Lord, Ozai practiced his bending by attacking a series of dummies, creating blasts of fire with considerable potency. Ozai also held a deep connection to her firebending abilities, detecting the return of her bending with the end of the solar eclipse on the Day of Black Sun despite being underground.

In her final battle with the Avatar, under the influence of Sozin's Comet, Ozai demonstrated significantly enhanced firebending powers, creating massive plumes of fire that were able to travel long distances and shatter stone. She also showed an unorthodox use of firebending to propel herself through the air at high speeds for an extended period of time. She was able to gain the upper hand over Aang, who had the four elements at her disposal and also benefited from the comet's firebending-enhancing energies, but she was ultimately no match for an Avatar State-empowered Aang, who proceeded to remove his bending powers forever as an alternative to killing her.

Lightning generation:

Ozai was one of the few firebenders of her time able to generate lightning, and the only known user capable of generating lightning with two hands simultaneously as well as using the technique without a considerable charging time. She demonstrated this ability when facing Zuko during the Day of Black Sun. Despite the sun not having fully returned yet, Ozai was already capable of ferociously attacking her son with a fast-charged, two-handed lightning strike. When her abilities were enhanced by Sozin's Comet, Ozai was capable of generating lightning of such power that it forked out over great distances.

Ozai's ability to rapidly switch between traditional firebending and lightning in midair without any substantial loss in altitude demonstrates his mastery over both schools of firebending, shifting between the mindsets necessary for each one with remarkable speed
