Adelaide

Adelaide is an old lad who appears in Lullaby in Frogland. Also known as Adelaide of the Pasture, with the addition of "The good lady of the forest" by Beatrice, Adelaide lives in a secluded hut where she presumably quilts. At some point prior to Wirt and Greg's adventure in The Unkown, Adelaide made a deal with Beatrice, promising her a magic pair of scissors to snip off Beatrice's family's wings in order to turn them back into humans in exchange for a child.

When Beatrice returns to Adelaide in Lullabies in Frogland, she enters through the chimney. Adelaide promptly tells her to close the hatch as the fresh air will be the death of her. Beatrice then tells her that she found Wirt and Greg but that she can't turn them over, but Adelaide tries to persuae her, and complains about being an old lady who needs a strong child servant. When Wirt and Greg show up at the scene, she traps them in yarn and rejoices in her new servants. She was intending to fill their heads with wool in order for them to do her bidding without intervening. As revenge, Beatrice opens the window and let's in the fresh night air, ending up melting Adelaide away.

She is also the sister of Auntie Whispers.
