White Witch


One of the most evil characters in children's fantasy is the White Witch from the Chronicles of Narnia book series by C.S. Lewis. The White Witch is responsible for bringing endless winter in the world of Narnia, making everyone's lives miserable. That winter period lasted for a hundred years. It was also her nature to ban the celebration of Christmas and Yuletide. Anyone that dares to do so are turned to stone by her. The White Witch has allies, in the form of monsters and dangerous wolves that make up her police. Those who serve the White Witch include demons, dwarves, wraiths, hags, ogres, werewolves, giants, gigantic bats, ghouls and other scary creatures. Originally she didn't come from Narnia itself. She was from another world called Charn and her name was princess Jadis. She came from a family of tyrants and a war broke out. During a war with her sister, she invoked a dark spell so that everyone and everything on Charn would die, except for herself. Then she ruled an empty world alone as the last queen of Charn. Later she entered a sleeping spell and was woken by children from Earth who entered by a portal. Jadis ended up at Narnia where she attacked Aslan the Lion, and sought to control the world. Her cruel winter tyranny doesn't last when four children enter Narnia from Earth through a wardrobe in "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".
