Mildred McCallister

**Mildred McCallister** is a witch, and Susie McCallister's long-lost younger sister. She is voiced by Faye Larkin.

## Appearance

Mildred is a tan-coloured cat with blue hair, similar to her mother. She wears a black dress with a white undershirt, along with white socks and leather-brown shoes, and sports a unibrow.

## Powers and Abilities

Mildred, just like Susie, is a witch, and as such, she can utilize magic. Due to her overactive magic glands, Mildred is gifted in magic, so much so that she's widely considered "the most powerful witch in the world".. This comes at the cost of Mildred having difficulties controlling her magic; nearly every spell she casts has unintended consequences and the side effect of summoning -- or else, turning things into -- frogs.

At the end of Hot Corn Girls, Mildred had drank the remaining half of Susie's immortality potion, becoming immortal. Because she's immortal, Mildred can expel her insecurities and traumas as ghosts, albeit through farts instead of the usual burps.

Mildred's magic is directly linked to her emotions, more so than for other witches. Her temper tantrum through the streets of London is a perfect example of this; as the townspeople confront Mildred, she -- very much in a state of distress -- blasts them with spells that, among other things, turns one townsperson's hands into feet and grows another townsperson's head to several times its normal size.

Mildred's power is further demonstrated when, during her 80-year-long search for her parents, she leaves behind maelstroms that utterly decimate the places she happens upon. Once she finally lands in the Frozen North and is met with the news that her parents are long dead, Mildred meets a pale dog named "Petey", who gives her a spell that lets her drain her magic into a vessel of her choice.

After draining her magical essence into jars, tricking Petey into searching the ocean for said essence, and then writing down a message to herself, Mildred seemingly loses her memories and spends centuries as the magic-less, albeit still immortal, Jar Guard.

Sometime after Mildred comes to Summer Camp Island, unlocks her repressed memories, and then rescues Susie from the Metaphysical Reserve, Mildred's jars of magical essence are stolen and consumed by the Rascals, robbing Mildred of the chance to become a witch again. Because of the sheer amount of magical essence they consumed, however, the Rascals are rendered immobile and inert by their overstuffed bellies.

After the source of all magic is impulsively disabled, then accidentally destroyed by Susie, Mildred helps create a new source of magic, alongside Susie, Oscar, and Hedgehog. With the birth of new magic, Mildred's witch powers return, albeit weaker and easier to control.

As of It Takes Time, Mildred and Susie are no longer immortal, having regained their mortality with help from Time.

## Personality

Mildred is very excitable, oftentimes being childish and immature. She means well for everyone, but often gets very carried away. She is seen to be neurotic, letting her emotions get ahead of herself. Because of her emotions, her magic can get out of control too, with Mildred spells often coming with unintended consequences.

As the Jar Guard, Mildred has a single-minded dedication to protecting jars, especially those containing her own magical essence. This dedication to jars -- and Mildred's identity as "Jar Guard" -- is eschewed once Mildred unlocks her repressed memories in Bear With Me. Even so, her general knowledge remains mostly jar-based, likely a result of having spent three centuries guarding jars and doing little else.
