Mavilda Wickerbottom

Mavilda Wickerbottom is a 16-year-old witch destined to become the next evil witch from the fairy tale Jorinde and Joringel. She is the younger half-sister of Hagzissa Wickerbottom and half fairy - something she herself only learned about recently. 
==Character==
===Personality===
Mavilda fits the stereotype of a "bad girl" much more than a "mean girl." She is very rebellious, as she doesn't like being told what to do and often points out that she's doing something because she wants to, not because someone told her to. She has a very prickly personality; is known for being sassy, dark, grouchy, and sarcastic to those around her. Mavilda is a huge fan of everything horror and macabre and loves to be "not like the other girls", which is why she has a huge interest in alternative, "dark" fashion styles such as Goth and Punk.
===Appearance===
Mavilda has long, dark gray, straight hair that she usually ties up in a ponytail. She has an aquamarine-dyed side-cut, green eyes and the beauty mark all Wickerbottoms are known for above her lip on the left side of her face. As a huge fan of body modification, she has a bunch of piercings, four of them visible on her face: an eyebrow piercing on the right side of her face, one in her left cheek and two lip-piercings on the right side of her face, one usually being a ring and the other a plug. Not always visible is a giant, butterfly-wings tattoo on her back, that will turn into her actual fairy wings upon transformation.

===How does Mavilda fit into it?===
Even though she identifies as a rebel not happy with her destiny whatsoever, it is not above her to use her magic the way it was intended on people that annoy her or bully others, and she is making a short shift of the culprits too, which is why sometimes it may appear that Mavilda is using her magic as a knee-jerk reaction. Just like her older sister, Hagzissa, Mavilda is outstandingly well-versed in transformation magic but, unlike Sissy, prefers to transform people into animals, predominantly birds, which is probably why the storybook of legends matched her with the legacy of the evil witch from the fairy tale Jorinde and Joringel in the first place. 
==Relationships==
===Wickerbottom Clan===
The Wickerbottom family is one of the biggest, most well known family of witches (and sometimes warlocks) around Ever After. They are destined to fill up fairy tales in need of a, usually evil, witch, as many of those don't survive their stories to have offspring of their own. This is due to a, supposedly indissoluble curse that was put on the family centuries ago as a punishment for the wicked evil-doing of one of their ancestors. Wickerbottoms that happen to not receive a story or survive the story they have been put in, are forced to 'produce' more offspring for future iterations of fairy tales. Naturally, the family tried many times to lift the curse or figure out loopholes, but have not been very successful this far. 
===Hagzissa Wickerbottom, Half-Sister===
Despite being fairly contrary, with Hagzissa being more of an optimist finding Mavilda very pessimistic and sometimes being really annoyed by what she calles her "Debby Downer" attitude she often has, the two sisters love each other dearly and would always help each other out. While Mavilda thought Sissy's idea creating a coven fighting forced unhappily ever afters is silly, she still is always seen helping her sister out when she is organizing and doing rallies.
===Mary Lynn Wyllt, Crush===
Mavilda first met Mary Lynn on one of Hagzissa's rallies. While rolling her eyes over her sister being star-struck over Morrigan, Mary Lynn's older sister, she found herself more impressed by Mary Lynn. After exchanging some words it became clear immediately that the two girls have a lot in common, so naturally they grew close insanely fast. It also didn't take very long for Mavilda to catch feelings for Mary Lynn, but Mary Lynn has been oblivious to all her advances so far. 
===Joan Nightingale===
Joan used to have a huge crush on Mavilda as he was drawn to her alternative appearance and bad-girl demeanour...and basically to her being the complete opposite of Joel, the person he is supposed to end up with. He also wasn't shy to approach her multiple times, asking her out - usually particularely then when Joel was able to witness it too. But Mavilda had none of if and eventually cursed him by transforming him into a bird, telling him to "flutter off" (bird pun on "to f*** off"). While she didn't mean for it to be permanent or have any lasting side-effects - she just wanted him off her back already and he didn't seem to care much about her telling him "no" - she accidentally ended up giving him his bird-transformation powers and is currently unable to lift this curse.
===Joel Lark===
Joel does not like Mavilda one bit, most likely due to the interest of his crush, Joan, in her. He was the one figuring out Mavilda's legacy and upon learning she was closely connected to their legacy, he naturally tried to warn Joan, telling him to stay away from her, that she is evil and not to be trusted. Of course Joan did not listen and just called him jealous.
===Pet===
====Luna, the black Cat====
Mavilda's familiar is a common black cat that she named Luna. Luna is very mischievous and likes to get into all kinds of shenanigans with Pollox, her sister Hagzissa's witch's familiar, a male tawny owl.

==Trivia ==
*Depending on the version/translation of Jorinde and Joringel, the antagonist is either an evil witch or an evil fairy. That is why bigrika decided to go with a hybrid and have Mavilda be both.
*Her Name comes from the probably worst animated Christmas Movie The Christmas Tree, where the antagonist and evil-doer is called Mrs. Mavilda. I just really liked the name :)
*Mavilda was also very inspired by the Winx Club cartoon, so think epic transformation scene whenever she turns into a fairy :D
