Orizaba

Orizaba is a moth fairy and a minor antagonist in the Disney Junior TV series Elena of Avalor.

She is voiced by Eden Espinosa, who also voices Cassandra in Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure.

Personality
Orizaba is a sassy confident fairy with a light-hearted playful attitude and a stubborn streak. What truly makes her a villain is her selfishness. She believes never-ending night is a gift and refuses to see such a thing that would eventually destroy all life on Earth. She isn't truly evil as she wishes to liberate all night-time animals from hiding among the shadows. Yet this empathy does not extend to the creatures of the day and this, along with her ambitiousness, can make her dangerous. She will even hurt an innocent child to get what she wants.

History
Tired of being forced to live in the shadows, Orizaba aims to create a land of eternal night for her and the other nocturnal creatures. She attempted to do this in Avalor using the Eye of Midnight but couldn’t find it as the jewel had been hidden from her by the Maruvians. Centuries later, her existence was forgotten and she was believed to be nothing more than a fairy tale.

Orizaba first appears in “Scepter of Light” during the solar eclipse. She goes in search of the Maruvian Temples to find the Eye of Midnight, in order to unleash eternal night. Mateo and Elena go after her. Elena tries to stop her with the Scepter of Light but it only helps Orizaba find the Eye of Midnight. Orizaba uses the Eye of Midnight to freeze the eclipse. However, Elena appears again and uses the Scepter of Light's powers to overpower her. Elena is temporary thwarted when Gabe pulls the Royal Coach in front of her and gives her some shade by mistake. This enables her to take Isabel hostage only to have this enable Elena to finally defeat her with the Scepter and send her back to the Spirit World.

In “Finding Zuzo”, Orizaba seeks revenge on Zuzo and Elena for her previous defeat, kidnapping Zuzo and threatening to send him to oblivion unless he hands over his stripes that allow him to travel to Avalor so she can use them to go back there and get revenge on Elena for the damage wrought on her wings by the Scepter of Light. However, Orizaba soon discovers that Elena has come to save Zuzo and manages to capture her as well. But not longer after, she is defeated by the spirits Bobo and Cacahuate and sent to oblivion.
