But she turned out to be my wicked stepmother in disguise, and the apple was poisoned! Once, an old woman came into my door offering an apple. ~ Snow White to Sofia about Queen Grimhilde poisoning her. Queen Grimhilde ( Queen Ingrid' in Mirror, Mirror (A Twisted Tale)), more commonly known across popular media as The Evil Queen or simply The Queen, is the main antagonist of Disney's 1st full-length animated feature film Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs, which is based on the 1812 German fairytale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm. Her most famous incarnation is in the Disney film, but the origin of the story goes as far back as folklore itself. Disney's film had a very tremendous impact on how she is seen as a villain and introduced the concept of her Magic Mirror and her ultimate transformation from a young and beautiful woman to an ugly old hag and she is also the Huntsman's former mistress.
She is Snow White's stepmother as well as her arch-nemesis. She was voiced by the late Lucille La Verne (in her last film role) in the film, the late Eleanor Audley in the 1949 audiobook, the late June Foray in Disney on Parade, Louise Chamis in Disney Villains' Revenge, and Susanne Blakeslee in Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. In the musical, she was portrayed by the late Anne Francine. Witch: I'll fix ya! I'll crush your bones! In the upcoming live-action remake, she will be portrayed by Gal Gadot, who also played Gisele Yashar in The Fast and the Furious franchise and Sarah Black in Red Notice. ~ The Queen in her Witch guise nearly crushes the dwarfs under a boulder. The Queen wants nothing more than to be the fairest in the land and does not appear to be significantly involved in governing her kingdom (since she is solely focused on being the fairest in the land), though the skeletal remains of prisoners in her dungeon point to her being a villainous ruler. She is a cold, violent, egotistical, and possessive tyrant with an extreme vanity that made her utterly intolerant and conservative of rivals.
Her vanity and jealousy of Snow White's superior beauty and the Prince's affections eventually drove her to unsympathetic and murderous insanity. She transformed herself into a hideous hag and conjured a poison named "The Sleeping Death" to achieve this end as a sign of her determination and desperation. Being an alternate form of the Queen, the Witch has some of her personality traits - most notably her vanity and unstable jealousy of Snow White - kept intact.
However, due in part to the transformation, she has also become more outwardly maniacal, sociopathic, vituperative, diabolical, and sadistic, constantly cackling insanely as well as once trying to play an extremely heartless joke on her pet raven by making it seem as though she wanted it to eat the poisoned apple. Despite her insanity, she was also extremely intelligent, manipulative (using Snow White's pity of the seemingly harmless old lady to her advantage), perspicacious, and calculating, wanting to ensure that she does not overlook anything in order to make her plans an absolute success. This trait was especially evident in her stopping herself while gloating about how the poisoned apple will ensure Snow White's eventual demise in order to look up whether there was a cure for the effects of the poisoned apple that would be able to cause her plans to fail.
