Azura was only supposed to play the character "Cassie Newton" in a single episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997), but she reprised the role later the same season when Amber Benson declined to return as the ghost of her slain character, Tara Maclay, and the script was rewritten so that Cassie's ghost appears instead.

Her parents were gemologists and named her for the semi-precious gem azurite.
