Queen 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

Etymology

  • Malodora consists of the prefix "mal-", "evil" (as in "malnutrition" or "malevolent") and odour, "smell" or "scent". Thus, Malodora is "she, who smells badly".
  • Grymm is a nod to the Brothers Grimm. It can be also a reference to the word grim, meaning "ghastly" or "sinister".
