| “ | Mother Gothel's fall to darkness gave rise to this gargantuan Heartless, and it's even crueler than she was—which is saying something. Wrapping its enormous body around the tower, it used branches and brambles to try and rob Sora, Donald, and Goofy of their freedom. Sounds like Mother Gothel, all right... |

Story[]
Mother Gothel stabs Flynn Rider, Rapunzel intends to heal him, but Flynn cuts her hair with a shard of glass from the broken mirror, preferring to die saving Rapunzel than let her be enslaved by Gothel. Mother Gothel tries to salvage Rapunzel's cut hair but it turns brown and loses its power. Gothel begins to rapidly age hundreds of years; she looks in her broken mirror and sees her youth disappear. Horrified, Gothel pulls her hood over her face and begins to stumble around before Pascal trips her with Rapunzel's locks, sending her falling out of the window. As Gothel plummets from the tower, just like in the movie, but Marluxia appears outside the tower and says that Mother Gothel can no longer be allowed to be around Rapunzel, as she has fallen to darkness and is thus a danger to the Princess of Heart. He proceeds to turn Mother Gothel's lingering darkness into the Grim Guardianess, which immediately attacks Sora, Donald, and Goofy, but they manage to defeat it.
