Ursa, the mother of Zuko and Azula, is described as a deeply compassionate, gentle, and fiercely protective woman who prioritizes her children's safety above all else. As the maternal granddaughter of Avatar Roku, she possesses a distinct, elegant appearance alongside her rich lineage. Physical Appearance Features: She is a beautiful woman with pale skin, sharp refined features, amber eyes, and long, straight black hair. Hairstyle: She typically wears her hair half-up, secured with a traditional three-pronged golden Fire Nation headpiece but now just a simple ribbon. Personality & Traits Fiercely Maternal: True to her name ("Ursa" is Latin for "bear"), she acts as a true "mama bear". She famously poisons Fire Lord Azulon to save Zuko's life after Azulon orders Zuko's execution. Kind and Patient: She provides a nurturing contrast to Ozai's cold cruelty, offering Zuko her son, the unconditional love and reassurance he constantly seeks. Complex Relationship with Azula: While she loves both children, she struggles to discipline Azula, frequently worrying about her daughter's cruel tendencies and lack of a conscience. Talented Background: Before her forced marriage to Ozai, Ursa was a passionate small-town theater actress. She was also a skilled herbalist, a trait passed down by her mother that ultimately allowed her to concoct an untraceable, odorless poison. The Bargain: Fire Lord Azulon ordered Ozai to kill Zuko to punish him for demanding to bypass his brother, Iroh, as the next in line. To spare Zuko, Ursa made a poison for Ozai to assassinate Azulon, but Ozai forced her into permanent exile as the price.
