Malodora Grymm was a Hag who lived in medieval Europe. She used a Beautification Potion to transform herself into a beautiful woman, and married a king. She used a charmed mirror to compliment her looks and reinforce her self-image. However, she became jealous of the most beautiful girl in the kingdom and plotted to get rid of her by using a poisoned apple.

Behind the scenes

  • Malodora Grymm is based on the witch from the tale of Snow White.

Name etymology

  • Grymm is a nod to the Brothers Grimm.
  • Malodora consists of the prefix mal-, evil (as in malnutrition or malevolent) and odor, smell or scent. Thus, Malodora is "she who smells badly".
