* NeverLiveItDown: Ursa's portrayal here as an UnintentionallyUnsympathetic person. People seems to exaggerate Ursa's faults and downplay either her good qualities or Ozai's own actions. Despite what people act like, Ursa's decisions in the story are not portrayed as completely in the right, with even Ursa outright regretting what she did and apologizing for not loving Azula enough before choosing to regain her memories and face. Yet, she is known best here for unintentionally causing Zuko to be treated worse by Ozai (Even though that doesn't excuse how Ozai reacted and in fact, makes the abuse all the more despicable.) and getting a new face at the cost of the memories of her children (regardless of the fact that Ozai's blackmail and leverage didn't give her much of a choice in the matter.)

* NeverLiveItDown: Ursa's [[UnintentionallyUnsympathetic portrayal here as an UnintentionallyUnsympathetic person. People seems in this comic]]. A lot of fans seem to exaggerate Ursa's faults and downplay either her good qualities or Ozai's own actions. Despite what people act like, many say, Ursa's decisions in the story are not portrayed as completely in the right, with even Ursa outright regretting expressing regret for what she did and apologizing for not loving Azula enough before choosing to regain her memories and face.

* HilariousInHindsight: This was the story that established Ozai as not just the AbusiveParent who wields [[PlayingWithFire fire as his powerset]] but one who married Ursa as part of an eugenics experiment to produce more powerful children, resulting in Zuko whom he personally scarred and Azula who's the AxCrazy child with TechnicolorFire. Later on, the anime ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' introduced Endeavor, an abusive father and superhero who wielded fire as his superpower and married a carefully selected woman as part of a SuperBreedingProgram to produce children who could potentially surpass his rival All-Might. Among those kids were Shoto who can [[BurnScarsBurningPowers produce powerful flames and has a scarred face]] and Toya/Dabi who's the psychotic unhinged male equivalent to Azula with his own blue flames. The only difference is that Endeavor wasn't the parent who scarred Shoto and Dabi believed himself to be TheUnfavorite of the family.

The sympathy lended to Azula in the story is not unintentional. She's written as actively going through the things noted in the entry in the story itself.
Deleted line(s) 33 (click to see context) :
* UnintentionallySympathetic: Azula. Granted, she's still very unpleasant and dangerous but she's still a 15-16 year old clearly suffering from severe mental illness and desperation to find a purpose in life. Zuko and Aang try to make nice with her; but Azula's just too barbed when lucid and unreasonable when she isn't. Sokka outright distrusts her with good reason while Katara keeps neutral about the whole affair. As ties into SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome, it's difficult for anybody to make progress with her when they can't talk to her without risking a fight; but she's no better to try when she's either focused on her own agenda or lost in insanity otherwise. It also doesn't help that Azula thinks her mother hates her, and [[spoiler:with the reason for Ursa's disappearance, she might now have a very good reason to resent her mother.]]
