Leticia Somnolens was a Hag who lived in Medieval times. A spiteful creature, she was jealous of the daughter of the local King and tainted a spindle with a Draught of the Living Death. She then tricked the young princess into pricking her finger on it, sending her into a deep sleep. Her plan was foiled, however, by a wizard who smeared his lips with Wiggenweld Potion, and then kissed the princess, curing her and bringing her out of the sleep.

Behind the scenes

  • The story behind this Hag is obviously based on the tale of Sleeping Beauty.

Name etymology

  • Somnolens is a derivation of "somnolence", which means "sleepiness."
