    I like Yzma's character for sure, she's certainly not as successful as other Disney villains were, not that any really were. Yzma did have what she wanted for a time being though, and it terms of how diabolical she was I'd rank her about the same as Cruela DeVille because she has every intention of murdering Kuzco and taking the empire over, and she shows no remorse for that. She turns on Kronk, sends guards to their deaths, and has no compassion towards the people of the empire (to be fair neither does Kuzco at first), but she does show some slight remorse in the clip where she was explaining her background and her mother so she isn't all bad. I think he keeps her around because she raised him and he does feel some type of love towards her because of that. He doesn't want to banish her and certainly doesn't want to kill her so he keeps her around. She like a sort of twisted aunt to him or something.

    I also think it’s because he thinks the world resolves around him to some extent. Even if in the movie he “learned” that lesson, in the show he just reverts back to his old ways. I think because of the delusion that nothing bad can happen to him cause the world revolves around him. Seeing as how he constantly wins at everything and always defeats Yzma without even trying, he probably believes she will never succeed

    I think it's pretty simple to deduce the connection between Kuzco and Yzma... she practically raised him and there isn't really any mention of his mother so likely his mother died earlier on, like in childbirth or something, so when the late Emperor died Yzma was basically the only parent Kuzco had. She was the only mother figure he'd ever known. Just think about it... Kuzco was ready to have Pacha imprisoned for turning him into a llama and kidnapping him and the fact that Pacha didn't like him didn't even bother him. But when he realized Yzma was trying to kill him, that's when he's at his lowest. Because the only mother figure he'd ever known hated him, wanted to kill him, didn't care about him. At the same time Yzma didn't even seem to consider trying to kill Kuzco until he fired her and even then, she gave up that idea when it turned out she only needed to ensure he failed out at Kuzco Academy to become empress. I think she also saw Kuzco almost as her own son but because the both of them have distorted views of things that type of connection or bond is also a bit distorted between them as well.

    Honestly, I completely agree with your opinion of their relationship. It's something that has kept bugging me each time I re-watch/remember their movie and cartoon because frankly there were two things that never made any sense to me. 1. 'Why did Yzma never murder Kuzco's father?', if we really think about this she was in a perfect position to just kill the guy no matter how strong or loved he was because he viewed her as his most trusted councilor and even asked her to take care of his only son and future heir should he die which just proves how highly he thought of her. She was in a perfect position to backstab him but she never did and this makes me wonder if despite her ambitions to take his place as a ruler, she was loyal to him and couldn't bring herself to kill him as he recognized her worth (unlike many) or maybe due to her not wanting to deprive a baby from their only living parent? Or maybe she was even already close to baby Kuzco and couldn't bring herself to do kill his father? 2. 'Why didn't she just kill Kuzco as a baby?' this is pretty cold to say of course but she would have had no hassle whatsoever to just stage the baby getting ill and dying (aka poison him but make it look natural) as she is his only real caretaker and while people might suspect her, there is no doubt she could have played the act of a grieving heartbroken mother-figure flawlessly if she needed to. Instead, knowing fully well that said baby will grow up to be someone she will have to get rid of for the sake of her ambitions, she - raises him, educates him, takes care of him, does not deprive him of anything he asks for (he cannot possibly have ended up as spoilt as he was if she was more strict on him) and ultimately ends up loving him as her own son because she frankly truly raised him. The way I see it, I think she purposefully created a barrier in her mind in regards to him because she always knew she would have to kill him so while she loved him as her own, she forced herself to constantly think of him as 'the emperor's son' rather than hers so she would eventually be capable of killing him to take his throne permanently. This likely also transferred over to how she treated Kuzco as she tried to emotionally distance him from herself once he grew up somewhat so she would be 'his councilor' in his mind rather than 'mother' due to her stifled guilt over the looming betrayal in the future (I mean hers). I also had to wonder if she alongside her fury and disbelief she felt betrayed by Kuzco when he fired her, after all she had done for him (and lets face it she truly did rule the empire for quite a few years while Kuzco was growing up and must have been fairly good at it to keep it together as an acting regent, even if she didn't truly care for the people and treated them badly). So I do agree that the moment he fires her is actually the moment her feelings take a backseat to her ambitions completely, especially if she already felt betrayed by him thus why should she keep showing him compassion and care?

    @@amayamarian6657 Those are some interesting points and I think a possible answer for why Yzma didn't kill Kuzco's father could be because, as I already theorized, he was a widow; maybe she had actually hoped to seduce him and become empress by marriage. Of course Kuzco points out that Yzma is older but come on, he's a stuck up, spoiled and self absorbed 18yr old, the type of jerk that probably would consider anyone over thirty to be prehistoric. Heck maybe Yzma even developed some actual feelings for the late emperor and that ultimately led to an attachment to Kuzco that she did try to store away in a mental box because obviously there's going to be a possibility of having to off him in the future. As far as not killing Kuzco as a baby there's one really good reason for keeping him around, if he was still practically a baby when his father died then depending on how the empirial succession worked she may not have had any other way to assume the throne or even keep her place in the palace without little Kuzco. If there was an older family member or any way anyone else could have claimed right to the throne at the time then her best play was to go with the fact that Kuzco was named successor by his father the late emperor and she was appointed his guardian by said late emperor and do whatever was necessary to protect Kuzco and secure the throne for him because there would be no guarantees that a new emperor or empress wouldn't have them both either banished or executed to secure the throne for themselves. Another reason is that she could have tried to raise the young emperor to be loyal to her and maybe either rule the empire using Kuzco as a figure head or just kill him off when he's older and she has insured that she could be next in line for the throne. And it makes sense that Yzma had ruled as a sort of regent for some time since nobody seems to question it when she's trying the run the empire behind Kuzco's back and taking over as empress when he's assumed dead.

    Originally, during production, back when ‘The Emperor’s New Groove’ was called ‘Kingdom of the Sun, Yzma wanted to take over the empire just to get rid off the sun, because she believes that was the reason for her ugliness. So she turns Emperor Manco(Kuzco) into a llama(on purpose this time), takes over as empress, and uses her dark magic to summon Supai, the Inca god of the underworld, to destroy the sun. But her plans fail all thanks to Pacha and Manco(Kuzco).

    Why Yzma is not dead or in prison? Probably for two reason: 1 - Kuzco sentiment towards her, after all she is the closest thing to a mother that he had...and family can be a very complicated thing 2 - For all her evil plan, she is probably a very skilled administrator and seeing pre-growing Kuzco; it's clear that she is really running the empire even if the Emperor get all the fame.

    Honestly, I think the only reason that Kuzco keeps Yzma around is because of the fact of... she practically raised him. Perhaps with that, he still finds some significants of Yzma in his life to not let her go. Even with all the horrible stuff she's done to Kuzco, that problably didn't effect him enough to just abandon her. This is just my opion though and not cannon. So I'd be happy to see other's theories or ideas. 😃

    I was about 13 when "The Emperor's New Groove" came out in theaters and immediately, I was drawn to Yzma. Here was this woman who, due to her age, obviously had a past and who was far more intelligent than the spoiled child she was forced to be subordinate to, and yet all the same, there she was as simply "the emperor's advisor". Yzma sparked my interest so much I actually wrote a fan fiction detailing what I imagined her backstory to be, and what happened to her after the events of "The Emperor's New Groove". In short, as a young woman, Yzma began work at the palace as a healer, using her medicines for good. Her skill, smarts, and beauty caught the eye of the prince and they became lovers. But when the prince eventually ascended the throne, he abandoned Yzma to take a wife of noble heritage and Yzma resented him for that, vowing to never forgive him for it. The newly-crowned emperor and his empress, of course, had a son: Kuzco. And he, naturally, was the spitting image of his father. After Kuzco's parents both passed away, Yzma was left in charge of the boy and raised him to be a selfish brat unprepared for the full responsibility of the throne out of spite. Following the events of "The Emperor's New Groove", Yzma, restored to human form and in exile, faked her own death so the empire would no longer think of her as a threat, then she sat back and watched as the arrival of Spanish colonialism began to crumble Kuzco's empire. And when she had waited long enough and the chance arose, she finally slayed Kuzco. Her revenge complete, she started life over, far away, living out her last years using her knowledge of potions for good once again. And yes, I wrote this when I was 13--dark, I know. But on the bright side, Eartha Kitt liked it. I sent a copy to her, along with a letter telling her how much Yzma had inspired me, and she was kind enough to respond encouraging my writing. I'll always be grateful to her for that.

Thank you for sharing this with me. We are sending your story to our people at Disney from a child of great imagination. Thank You, Eartha Kitt (Yzma)" I never heard from Disney, and indeed don't even know if she really sent my story to them or was just saying so to be encouraging. I did try to send it to them myself several times but received a reply from them which included the line, "While we're happy to hear you enjoy writing, Disney has rules that don't allow us to accept ideas from outside sources". Which to me seems hilariously hypocritical, given that most of their movies are based on others' pre-existing works, but I digress. About a year or two after I received Ms. Kitt's letter and my failed attempts to get Disney's attention, they came out with "Kronk's New Groove". Needless to say, I was furious. I still haven't seen it, just on the principle of it all.

Imagine raising a kid who turns on you when you understand the kingdom better? I mean Cusco "I am sure I spelled that wrong" THREW AN OLD MAN OUT OF A WINDOW! Honestly we only see her as the bad guy because that is how the story was viewed. In any other Disney movie in which a king tosses the elderly out a window to their death we would be cheering Yzma on.

    In the prototype of Emperor's New Groove, the more serious: Kingdom of the Sun Yzma had a song which ended up on the movie soundtrack, in which she speaks of her father who was the royal mortician IE the person charged with preparing mummification and royal funerals. Though this is no longer cannon it explains how she learned of potion making and was able to get a job in the imperial court.

    Man, I love Yzma! The reason I think Kuzco keeps her around is something she said herself: she practically raised him. To him even though they’ve never had a healthy family dynamic he obviously still cares for her on some level. She may be treasonous, but especially at the end of the TV show he probably thinks that he’s gotten a handle on foiling her schemes to the point he can keep her around without any real danger. So he does.

    I think it’s worth noting that in Yzma’s song, “Snuff Out the Light” Yzma says her father was the Royal Mortician and that she was apprenticed to him, and planned to use his “tuition” to reverse the effects of aging on herself, and strongly implied he used magic on the royal corpses as a preservation technique. If her family were a line of Morticians, given that they’re a preindustrial society, it’s highly likely that anything used to preserve corpses that could be defined as magic was more than likely a toxin of one form or another (arsenic comes to mind). So, in short, it’s entirely possible that her familial obsessions and skills in chemistry come from embalming, a side effect of which may have been madness.
