Background / History
The Queen was the White Kingdom's king's second wife and Snow White's stepmother. Though renowned for her beauty, she depended on Black Magic to keep the King infatuated and obedient; her fear that his affection would fade drove her obsession with being the kingdom's most beautiful woman. 104 105
She joined the Witch Council despite having little interest in magical study. As a marginal member with limited magical talent, she traded the near-omniscient services of her Magic Mirror for youth-preserving potions, allowing more powerful witches to use her as an information source. 97 105 113 116
When the Magic Mirror identified Aurora as more beautiful than her, the Queen hired Hunter Angus to murder Aurora before the King could see her. She later tried personally, creating a strangling ribbon, poisoned comb, and poisoned apples before disguising herself as an old peddler. Aurora's caution and Rhine's interference prevented these attempts from succeeding. 105 107 108
After being rendered unconscious and placed in a crystal coffin, the Queen was unknowingly impersonated by Aurora for two months through Mistaken Love perfume. During that period, Aurora and Rhine used the Queen's authority and Magic Mirror to expose corruption, find spies, promote talented commoners, and reform the White Kingdom. 111 114 115 122
Upon returning, the Queen was confused to find the kingdom improved and its people sincerely grateful for reforms she did not remember carrying out. Rhine explained the deception but offered her the achievements, reputation, and a handover of the Magic Mirror's governance methods. Confronted by Snow White's continued affection, the Queen began to regret her former conduct. 125 126 129
She later renounced her reliance on the Witch Council, cooperated with Rhine's plan against the Eastern Witch, and assisted in preparations for Aurora's duel with Maleficent by using the Magic Mirror. 128 136 162
Appearance
The Queen is a strikingly beautiful woman with black hair, watery eyes, and crimson lips. She ordinarily presents herself with regal finery, including a crown and light gauze clothing, though she returned to the Royal City in plain attire after her disappearance. 105 122 136
- Black hair, watery eyes, and crimson lips. 105 119
- Her beauty is central to both her self-image and her magical control over the King. 105
- Capable of disguising herself as an old woman through magic. 107
Personality
Initially, the Queen is vain, possessive, paranoid, and deeply insecure. Her desire to remain beautiful is tied not merely to pride, but to her fear of losing the King's magical infatuation, her political influence, and her place in the Witch Council. 105 107 125
She is accustomed to commanding the King and Magic Mirror, often treating both as extensions of her will. Yet the reforms credited to her force her to recognize a form of influence more lasting than beauty: public trust and capable governance. 111 122 125
After Rhine reveals the truth, she responds with shame, confusion, and emerging remorse rather than rejecting the new order. Snow White's unconditional affection particularly softens her attitude toward her stepdaughter. 125 126

Story Role / Major Arcs
Witch Council Informant
The Queen's ownership of the Magic Mirror makes her valuable to the Witch Council despite her limited magical prowess. Her vanity leaves the artifact's broader potential largely unused, while the Council exploits its intelligence-gathering ability. 97 105 113 116
Attempted Murder of Aurora
After learning that Aurora exceeds her beauty, the Queen orders Hunter Angus to kill her and later attacks personally with disguised poisoned gifts. Her schemes fail because Aurora remains suspicious and Rhine intervenes. 105 107 108
White Kingdom Reform
While the Queen is unconscious, Aurora impersonates her and Rhine guides the use of the Magic Mirror for national reform. The real Queen returns to a cleaner, safer, and more effectively governed kingdom, receiving gratitude for work she did not perform. 111 114 115 122 125
Redemption and Alliance
Rhine gives the Queen the choice to accept responsibility for the reformed kingdom and teaches her how to maintain its systems. She rejects the Witch Council's exploitation, aids the campaign against the Eastern Witch, and later supports preparations against Maleficent. 126 128 136 162
Notable Quotes
“I shouldn't have joined this Witch Council in the first place! I didn't get any benefits, but they took my Magic Mirror for free. I really want to quit now.” 128
