The Lady of the Green Kirtle, also known as the Queen of Underland, the Witch-Queen, and the Emerald Witch, is the main antagonist of The Silver Chair, the fourth instalment in The Chronicles of Narnia book series, as well as the BBC movie based on it, where she is portrayed by Barbara Kellerman (who also played Jadis the White Witch and the Hag). Her real name is unknown, but it is speculated that she is a descendant of Jadis the White Witch, and thus has giant blood running through her veins. She also serves as the archenemy of Eustace Scrubb and Jill Pole, as well as Prince Rilian.
Biography[]
The Emerald Witch had the ability to transform herself into a large, venomous green snake. In her plan of the conquest of Narnia, she used this form to murder the Queen of Narnia, King Caspian's wife. Her son by the name of Prince Rilian then set out to avenge his mother's death, but was captured by the Emerald Witch and held as a prisoner in her underground lair. She seduced and brainwashed him into forgetting who he was and that together they would conquer Narnia. Her spell, however, was taken away for one hour each day, and Rilian would once again remember who he was, so during that hour, she would have Rilian bind himself to a silver chair until he once again forgot who he was.
When the children Eustace and Jill with their companion, Puddleglum the Marshwiggle, came to Underland to free Rilian, she tried and nearly succeeded in putting them under a hypnotic spell in which they forgot all about Narnia, the sun, and Aslan. Puddleglum, however, broke free from the spell by sheer willpower and stamped out the intoxicating green flames which the Witch had used, along with music, to hypnotize them. The Witch then transformed herself into the deadly green snake again and attacked Rilian and the group, and, after a hard battle, they succeeded in killing her.
In the books, the gnome-folk which she had ruled over thanked the heroes for defeating her. In the BBC / Wonderworks film, however, most of them are shown throwing themselves into a fiery abyss upon her defeat.

Trivia[]
- Despite that the Lady of the Green Kirtle was never given a name, the official Narnia website organized a contest back in July 2014 for fans to propose possible names for the witch, with the prize being that the chosen name would be used by The C.S. Lewis Company and The Mark Gordon Company for the planned film adaptation of The Silver Chair. Unfortunately, the original cast of The Chronicles of Narnia films had already grown up by that moment and the film series ended with The Voyage of the Dawn Trader after a fourth film never materialized.
- It was confirmed by The Voyage of the Dawn Trader movie documentary that she caused the Green Mist. The Green Mist did not appear in the original book, and it having been caused by the Emerald Witch can make her, technically, the antagonist of the movie.
