Frau Trude, alternatively called Mother Trudy, is the main antagonist of the fairy tale of the same name. She is an evil old witch who can transform herself and other people.
History[]
A disobedient young girl tells her parents that she wants to go and visit Frau Trude to see if there is any truth in the legends about her. Her parents tell her that the Frau is "a wicked woman who commits godless acts" and forbid her from going, but she disobeys them and visits Frau Trude's cottage in the woods. After arriving, the girl tells Frau Trude about all the terrifying things she saw along the way. Frau Trude dismisses them as simply ordinary men, until the girl says she saw a fire-headed demon in her window. Instead, Frau Trude declares that she "has seen the witch in her proper costume" and transforms the girl into a block of wood that she throws on the fire, commenting on how bright the block made the fire.
