**Imara** was a Demonic Sorceress strongly underestimated and disrespected by the rest of the Underworld due to her unfortunate physical appearance. Despite being considered little more than a hag by most, she was a master of spells and dark magic and highly ambitious and unpredictable. Imara desired beauty, power and respect that she did not possess, so, to this end, sought to defeat the demon Zankou, removing the competition and bringing herself to glory. To accomplish this, she plotted to vanquish his most trusted lieutenants.

## History

### Early Life

Despite her magical powers and skills, Imara was disrespected and underestimated by the rest of the Underworld because of her appearance, which caused her to be thought of as nothing more than a hag. She soon desired beauty, power and respect from her fellow demons, and apparently enslaved some to her and kept them in her dark chambers in the Underworld.

At an unknown time, Imara probably encountered a witch from either the Warren or Anderson line, who wrote a brief entry about her powers and personality in the family's Book of Shadows, which included a picture of her.

### Her Plot

After Zankou was freed from his prison, where he was banished by the Source of All Evil, Imara immediately recognised him as a threat to her and her plans of power and rulership. She saw that the way to weaken him was by defeating his greatest lieutenants, Daleek, Benzor, and Linson, among others. To accomplish this, Imara plotted to switch souls with the Glue to the Charmed Ones, who would have enough power to vanquish the Infiltrator Demons. She ordered one of her minions to obtain a lock of hair from Penelope Anderson, while she was at her office at 415 Magazine, as a fresh ingredient from her target was required for her Soul Swapping Spell.

Unfortunately for Imara, her minion did not succeed in obtaining a lock of Penelope's hair, which angered her. However, she tried again to go after Penelope since she is what binds the Charmed Ones power together and her being part whitelighter and having constant contact with the Elders. She sent her minion to try again and this time was successful in getting a lock of Penelope's hair. After completing the Soul Swapping Spell, Imara's minions locked her body in a cage, so that, when Penelope's soul arrived in her body, she would not escape.

### In Penelope's Body

The spell was successful, but now she had to mimic Penelope in hopes of no one, especially Cole, Piper, Phoebe, and Paige, becoming suspicious to her body swap.

However, Imara did not imitate Penelope particularly well: every time she passed a shiny surface, she would admire herself and she was very bad at impersonating Penelope's premonitions. She was struck by how beautiful she had become; the sisters realized something was amiss when Imara constantly changed outfits even before tracking a demon. The plan was discovered by Piper, Phoebe, and Paige after Imara killed Penelope in her body. She was eventually vanquished when Piper, Phoebe, and Paige brought back Penelope's soul and expelled hers.

## Physical Appearance

Imara was thought of as hideous and repulsive by both demons and Penelope Anderson, who was shocked when she found herself in her body. Even her own minions appeared sickened by her appearance, which she punished them for. Once, Imara asked one of her minions if he thought she was beautiful, which he answered "*yes... of course*" unconvincingly, to which a female servant of Imara sniggered and was punished.

## Personality

Imara was wise and learned in the magic branches of spell casting and potion brewing. She was also very envious of the successful, powerful and beautiful, especially Penelope Anderson. Her desire for dominion, beauty and power was very strong, but she was also patient, as her minion mentioned that they had watched the Charmed Ones for weeks before Imara put her plan into action.
