Did Zelena ever go after Cora?

One of the things I think is still confusing a lot of people is why did Zelena hate Regina instantly, but she spared no thoughts for Cora.

In 316, the moment Zelena sees that Rumple is teaching Regina magic, Zelena becomes jealous and irate and longs to take everything Regina ever had, stuff she feels Zelena did not deserve.

But what about Cora? She saw Cora actually abandon her in the woods. Cora at this point was still alive and in WL; so why didn’t Zelena go after Cora at any point? Shouldn’t she hold the same level of hatred–if not more–toward her mother?

well, if i were the dark one i would have said soemthing along the lines of “If you really want to mess up Regina you should go kill your mother here si ehr address and here is a handy looking glas sportal fi youw ill go right this way.” usually the dark one si smarter than that.

Magic always comes with a price, so I pay with visa.

I think she didn’t need to find Cora, her mother. Zelena already had a mother who loved her.
She wanted to learn magic. She wanted to find her sister.
And then she met Rumplestiltzkin……and that’s where the fun began. 🙂

But, I’d love to hear what Zelena said while in Cora’s crypt.

If Zelena had gone after Cora, Ana would have been toast.

That’s a good point, but I still wonder if she never sought Cora out. At least to see her.

LOL, good point.

It’s the same reason why Regina directed her anger at little innocent Snow instead of the person physically responsible for Daniel’s death. There was a great quote from Lana Parrilla in the Once magazine, but the gist if it was: we don’t want our parents to be wrong. Even if they do something bad (abandonment in Zelena’s case and murder in Regina’s), we force ourselves as the children to accept that the parent is not at fault.
