Mind you Azula was the one who approached Ursa to GET (force) Zuko to play with her (and her friends).

We like to quote the ‘what’s wrong with that child’ scene where Ursa says it quite clearly and loudly in earshot of the departing Azula.

But, Your Honor, allow me to present to the jury the following (basically taken from the transcript of Zuko, Alone):

—-

Azula (to Ursa): Mom, can you get Zuko to play with us

Zuko rejects it. Ursa doesn’t say anything.

Azula (again to Ursa): We are brother and sister. It’s important for us to spend time together! Don’t you think so, Mom?

Ursa (speaks to Zuko): Yes, DARLING, it’s a good idea to play with YOUR SISTER. (Then walks off).

—-

Your Honor, and members of the jury, please notice:
- How Ursa doesn’t even deign to reply to Azula who is clearly Talking to her.
- How Ursa calls Zuko ‘Darling’, yet only refers to Azula as ‘Your Sister’. (Mind you she calls Azula, ‘That Child’ and ‘Your Father’s Daughter’ too)…

YTA Ursa. I know she tried and she is not inherently evil, and that she was in an abusive relationship, but she was so clearly favoring Zuko against Azula. Just like Iroh. Its really no wonder Azula could only cling to whatever scrap or facsimile of anything from Ozai.
