mmm... Why would no one in the royal court wonder where the lady is (since Ozai became lord). No one mentioned her name at Azulon's funeral. So she must have ran away. What I am wondering is the scene after Zuko wakes up and tries to find Ursa, Zuko asks Ozai "Where is she?" but Ozai says nothing and Zuko suddenly looks scared/shocked. Never really understood what that scene was suppose to mean. If what Azula said is true about how Ozai was going to kill Zuko, Ursa would do something about it for sure like ran away or take Zuko's place. And also why did Ursa say to Zuko never forget who he is before she "left", why is it so important that Zuko doesn't forget he is the son of Ozai, heir to the throne?

Off topic, but I'm going to answer anyway, and remind everyone to stick to the topic. I'm not sure that's what she meant. It may have been part of it, but not all of what she meant. I think part of what she meant was who he was as a person, and also, it's important who you are. Yes, Zuko disagrees with his father, and maybe even his nation, but, as the saying goes, if you don't know where you've been, you don't know where you're going, or something like that.

Okay, sorry for bringing up an old thread, but I just was curious about this as well, so I wanted to know ya'll's opinion on this here theory. I dont really remember what Hope's mom's name is, or what she looks like, but is there a possibility these two are one-in-the-same? does anyone have a better picture, by any half chance?

Name: Ying

No, Ying is too young to be the same person, but there could be some relation. I doubt it though.
