Mormo

Mormo is the middle sister of Empusa and Lamia, member of the Lillim Coven, and also a very powerful witch. She is a minor antagonist in the film Stardust. She is portrayed by Joanna Scanlan.

Overview
At the age of eighteen, Mormo's younger sister, Lamia, became very ill and was presumed to die. Unbarring to watch her suffer, Mormo's elder sister, Empusa, attempted to use magic to cure her, but failed. After days of searching for a solution, Mormo had come across a mystical woman who had fallen from the sky. After bringing the woman home, Empusa (knowing what the woman was) killed the woman and cut out her heart. After feeding the shining heart to her sister, Lamia had later awoken more beautiful and healthy as ever.

From that moment forth, the witches planned to forever rule the Kingdom of Stormhold by gaining their immortality from the hearts of fallen stars. However, after years of living inside of a world of dystopia, came an army of men lead by a forceful warrior whom had succeeded at overpowering the evil witches. When Tristan Thorne unleashed the animals, the animals killed her and escaped.

History
Mormo lives with her sisters, the Lillim, in a palace deep in Stormhold. Mormo and her sister Empusa are fast asleep until their sister Lamia, the Witch Queen, tells them a star has fallen. Mormo reminded Lamia that she used the last Babylon Candle and therefore they would have to seek out the star on foot. Mormo then killed a ferret and looked at its entrails and saw the location of the star. The three witches then had to pick an organ to see who would go after the star. Lamia picked the heart and therefore she would seek out the star and with the power of all three they let Lamia have what was left of the last star hidden in a dusty box. Lamia commented that there was not much of the star left, but Mormo ensured her that there will be plenty of it soon.

With Lamia young again, Mormo and Empusa helped dress and give Lamia a knife and magic runes for her to use to find the star. Lamia left the palace while Mormo and Empusa stayed behind. Later, Lamia contacted her sisters with her magic ring and Mormo communicated to her sister through a grand standing mirror. Mormo told Lamia that using magic will cause her to age faster if she is not careful and to only call them in dire need. Lamia told her she could not locate the star and Mormo and Empusa killed an alligator and looked at its organs and saw the star was coming to her and Mormo told her to set up a trap and make sure her heart is glowing before it is cut out.

After Lamia failed to kill and let the star, Yvaine, get away she made contact with her sisters. When the Witch Queen ordered for them to find the star, Mormo told her to watch her tongue and that it was her and not them that lost them. Mormo then told her to return now and either of them will go instead, but Lamia assured them that she will bring the star back to the palace and to have everything ready for their arrival.

Mormo found the star by using her mirror and told Lamia where it was headed and a prince was also seeking the star and told her to find the star fast.

Mormo then made contact with the Witch Queen and told her she was very close to the star. Lamia then returned to the palace with Yvaine and another woman. Mormo asked who she was and Lamia stated a slave. The three witches then cackled as they had the star and how old Lamia looked now. Mormo then tied Yvaine to the alter that was above a grand staircase. After Mormo had seen her sister, Empusa die she wanted to attack the prince, Septimus, but Lamia stopped her and killed him with a voodoo doll. When Tristan stormed the castle room, Lamia told Mormo to get him. Mormo then proceeded to run the top of the staircase and used her physical strength and leaped to the room below. Tristan then cut the cages releasing all the animals and they all attacked Mormo and she was mauled to death killing her.
