With no real choice in the matter, Ursa had to accept Prince Ozai’s proposal and leave immediately for her new life as a Fire Nation Princess. He managed to track down Ursa and forced her to marry Zuko's father, Ozai, even though she was already betrothed to Ikem. This would supposedly produce descendants with great power, securing his family's place on the throne long after he was gone. Zuko's grandfather, Fire Lord Azulon, heard a prophecy from the Fire Sages that suggested that he should mix his bloodline with that of Avatar Roku. On the night that Ikem proposed to Ursa during one of their play rehearsals, Ursa returned home to find Fire Lord Azulon and his son Prince Ozai in her residence. Zuko's Real Mother - Identity & Backstory Explained Here is the truth about what happened to Ursa, why she was banished, and where she ended up. One of the Avatar: The Last Airbender comics' story arcs, The Search, details Zuko's quest to find out what happened to his mother - and perhaps even be reunited with her.

Luckily, there is a series of sequel comics written by Gene Luen Yang with Avatar: The Last Airbender showrunners Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, set in the days after Avatar Aang defeats Fire Lord Ozai.

But who is Zuko's mother? The lack of information in the ATLA TV show led audiences to believe she was dead. In Avatar: The Last Airbender, it is only revealed that she made a bargain for Zuko's life when his father was planning to kill him and that she was later sent away from the Fire Nation.
Zuko's mother is called Ursa, and she is the granddaughter of Roku, the Fire Nation Avatar who preceded Aang. Over time, however, Zuko redeems himself and ultimately fights alongside Aang to defeat his father, Fire Lord Ozai. The exiled son of Fire Lord Ozai, Zuko spends much of Avatar: The Last Airbender acting as an antagonist towards Aang and his friends, since capturing the Avatar is the only way Zuko will ever be allowed an honorable return to the Fire Nation. Avatar: The Last Airbender's Prince Zuko lost his mother when he was just a child and is presumed dead, but the tie-in comics tell the story of exactly why she disappeared and where she has been.
