She informs them of their mother before stabbing Hansel and abducting Gretel. At the Blood Moon Sabbath, she plans to kill the twelve children and Gretel so she and all the other evil witches could have the ability to be immune to sunlight but her plan fails as Mina and Hansel stop her. Later, by the old Gingerbread House, she killed Mina. After a short battle, Hansel and Gretel killed her.
