Ursula

Ursula is one of the many Disney Villains appearing in the Sora and Pretty Cure's Adventures series. She is a member of the Council of Villains whose goal is to seek to harness the power of the Heartless and to take control of Kingdom Hearts to rule all of the worlds in the *Kingdom Hearts* video game series. Outside of the *Kingdom Hearts* universe, Ursula is the main antagonist of the 1989 Disney animated film, *The Little Mermaid*. She is also the older sister of Morgana from *The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea* and the mother of Uma in the Disney Channel Original Movie trilogy/franchise, *Descendants*.

Sea WitchMember of the Council of Villains

## History

The main antagonist of *The Little Mermaid* and the mother of Uma in *Descendants*, Ursula is an exiled sea witch who like many other villains make sheisty deals with unsuspecting victims to get ahead in life. She has a whole cavern full of souls who couldn’t uphold their ends of the bargains that they made. She gets Ariel to trade her voice for her human legs and then makes it her life’s mission to wed Ariel’s love, Eric. She nearly succeeds, though does prevent Ariel from kissing Eric, takes Ariel hostage and blackmails Ariel’s father King Triton into giving her command of the seas and rule over Atlantica. As Queen of the Seas, she causes predictable Disney villain mayhem, zapping ships and causing total chaos. Her newly giant frame makes too great a target and Prince Eric seizes the moment to make an Ursula skewer on the bow of his ship.

## Powerfulness and Weaknesses

Ursula knew how much magic to use and when to gain more power. She knew how to lure Ariel and was able to make it work as leverage for her father King Triton. Like Queen Grimhilde, she also could change her appearance and voice to trick others, enchanting Eric so he didn’t marry Ariel. Really, Ursula is smart and convincing enough to be manipulative. Her ruthlessness, allowed her to seize power and her magic was really some of the most intense of any Disney villain. Too bad she became too big a target once she had the power she craved.

## Intelligence

Unlike villains like Queen Grimhilde, Ursula did use her powers to gain control and strengthen her influence. She was able to use Triton’s youngest daughter against him knowing how he despaired of losing any of his family after the loss of his wife and Ariel’s mother, Queen Athena. She was able to plan ahead with using Ariel as leverage which is not something we see often in animated villains. Really, Ursula knew how to play the game to get what she wanted. She used tactics and strategy and understood the concept of leverage.

## Arsenal

**Magical Potions:** As shown when Ariel makes the potion to take Ariel's voice and grant her human legs and make herself the potion to transform her into her human alias Vanessa, Ursula displays her alchemy and witchcraft skills as she makes all sorts of magical potions for whatever evil scheme she intends to use them for.

**Her Necklace:** Her most known choice of magical arsenal, Ursula's necklace is a magic seashell that she wears around her neck. This is item she uses to hold Ariel's voice. Ursula's Necklace is also one of the Wicked Nine in *Sofia the First* along with Maleficent's Staff, Jafar's Snake Staff, Queen Grimhilde's Crown and Heart Box, Shan Yu's Sword, Mother Gothel's Sundrop Flower, Dr. Facilier's Hat, Lady Tremaine's Golden Key and Mor'du's Claw.

## Goal

In the Sora and Pretty Cure's Adventures series, With the powers of the Heartless, Nobodies, Unversed and Nightmares, Shuriki along with Ursula, the Council of Villains and Organization XIII aim to bring all of the worlds home to Sora and numerous other Disney Characters to darkness and ruin starting with Avalor. Once Avalor was conquered, Ursula, the Council and the Organization aimed to takeover Destiny Islands, the Disney Castle, the Land of Departure, Twilight Town, Hallow Bastion, Traverse Town and numerous Disney Worlds (the Dwarf Woodlands, Castle of Dreams, Enchanted Dominion, Wonderland, the Deep Jungle, Never Land, the Land of Dragons, Beast's Castle, Atlantica, Agrabah, Halloween Town, Christmas Town, the Pride Lands, Space Paranoids, La Cité des Cloches, Prankster's Paradise, the Grid, Olympus (including Olympus Coliseum), the Toy Box, the Kingdom of Corona, Monstropolis, Arendelle, Port Royal, the Caribbean, San Fransokyo, the Hundred Acre Wood e.t.c.) causing Sora, Kairi, Riku, King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Ventus, Aqua, Terra, Roxas, Naminé, Axel, Xion, Saïx, Hayner, Pence, Olette, Leon, Yuffie, Aerith, Cid and numerous other Disney Characters to team up and work together to defeat the villains and restore their worlds back to their former glory.

## Pretty Cure Rival

Ursula becomes one of Pretty Cure's biggest enemies in the Sora and Pretty Cure's Adventures series. The Pretty Cure team she has the biggest rivalry with is Tropical Paradise Pretty Cure (Tyana Summers/Cure Summer, Coraline O'Hara/Cure Coral, Beth "Betty" Yellowstone/Cure Papaya, Adele Redhart/Cure Flamingo, Laura Seablue/Cure La Mer and Seashell). With Ursula being a magical underwater sea witch and with the Tropical Paradise girls being a team of Pretty Cure team that has the ocean, mermaids and tropical as some of their ideal themes, she and them share a great bargain with each other. Ursula also has a liking for cosmetics such as blushes, eyeshadows, hair products, lipstick/lipgloss and nail polish which is another one of Tropical Paradise Pretty Cure's motifs. Even if the Tropical Paradise Pretty Cure girls get the best of Ursula, she will always be ready to face-off against them and the other Pretty Cure teams time and time again.

## Defeats

In *The Little Mermaid*, just as she attempts to zap Ariel, Eric takes control of his abandoned ship steering it right into Ursula killing her.

In *Kingdom Hearts II*, when Sora, Donald and Goofy visit the world of Atlantica during the events of The Little Mermaid after the Ursula's Revenge Musical Boss Level, Eric kills Ursula not by steering a ship into her, but by throwing King Triton's trident directly through her heart.
