== History ==
=== Background ===
Griselda is the Queen Mother of the Dark Forest. In her youth, she was quite the looker, at least in Goblin terms. She carried Bog in her womb for twenty-three months before eventually giving birth to him. After her husband's death, Bog succeeded his father as the next King of the Goblins. When Bog was young, he fell in love with another goblin and put a love potion on her. However, the potion didn't work because the goblin was truly in love with someone else. As such, Bog forbade love in the kingdom. He imprisoned the Plum Fairy in his dungeons and destroyed all the primrose flowers so love potions could not be made. As a result, Griselda made it her mission to make her son find love again. She also hoped to end the ban on true love in the Dark Forest and so began finding women who Bog would deem worthy of his love.
