    Iroh's wife and Lu Ten's mother was not important enough to be mentioned, so I doubt she is important to the plot. Perhaps she died at a young age, or in childbirth.??

    I can't possibly see Ursa being the mother of Lu Ten/Iroh's wife. Remember that she is OZAI'S wife, and the mother of Ozai's children.

    Now, remember how ruthless Ozai is. Could you possibly see Ozai forgiving Ursa for falling in love with any one other than him? Especially if it's his brother, someone he's probably hated since birth for being born before him.

    Add Lu Ten into the picture. I think that if Ursa was his mother, Ozai would probably kill Lu Ten personally. And then kill Ursa.

    Well... that's just my theory.

    Yeah, she definately can't be Ursa. It wouldn't make very much sense at all.

    Ursa? With Ozi and Iroh? *cough*Y7*cough*cough* Not that it couldn't happen. We're discussing Avatar here. Expect the unexpected with Avatar.

    Iroh's wife is probably dead or she could have been killed.

    I don't think she is imporant unless she is hiding?? Zuko's mother other then that I think the creaters were trying to show different types of familes. Hence a mom, dad, daughter or Iroh and Zuku.

    URSA ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Hey, it's not impossible. Ozai doesn't HAVE to know. I heard once in another thread that Ursa had an arranged marriage to Ozai. Well, maybe Ursa was with Iroh before Ozai. Lu Ten is about 4 years older than Zuko if Lu Ten was in the army. Wait, I think I'm wrong. Was Lu Ten killed when Zuko was 14 or when Zuko was about 10? I don't remember the letter that Iroh sent, well, the writing on it. I think it was when Zuko was around 10, so Lu Ten would be about 8 years older than Zuko. A LOT can happen in eight years.

    Couple problems with this...

    (1) an arranged marriage is usually between the "first" born son and a woman from a respectable family so you would never take a wife from the first born to arrange anything for a second born

    (2) if Ursa was indeed the wife of Iroh and mother of Lu Ten she had what could be a called a minimal reaction to her first born son dying in the war.... think about her reaction to the TurtleDuck mom story with Zuko and then of course her subsequent disappearance after the FireLord Azulon meeting

    Nope... nothing there equates to Ursa ever being married to Iroh

    good point...
    even though I never thought Iroh was ever married to Ursa, now that I think about it, she wouldn't have an affair with him
    i new i was wrong about... a... lot... of... things...
    I'll just go crawl into my corner and die now...
    yea... I need more sleep
    but I still like the idea
    mhm
    yea...
    i am wasting thread space.
    ok...
    bye now...

    Maybe Iroh's wife left him or something. I mean he never really talks about her. Or maybe LuTen's mom was a concubine, or however you spell that (j/k, this is not that kind of show, although I did learn about them through Mulan ).

    I guess she could have died in childbirth, but then wouldnt Iroh had talked about her? The reason I think that she ran away was because she didn't know how to take care of a son, and she?? never really loved Iroh. Iroh probably understood, but loved his son all the more.
