The Chicken-Foot Witch

Chara the Chicken-Foot Witch was once a beautiful dancer but always jealous of others. In time, her passion for dance was overshadowed by a desire for the misfortune of her contemporaries. She dedicated herself to sabotaging, undoing, and denigrating her rivals for years, until one fateful day when looking in the mirror she did not recognize herself. She was wrinkled and haggard with frown lines and hadn't even danced in years. Compelled to return to the stage, Chara delved into the darkest, most unseemly witchcraft, to create a potion that would grant her beauty again. But, after months of toiling over bubbles and cauldrons, the potion was an utter disaster. Now hideously transmogrified with gnarled and knobby chicken feet, and too clumsy to be a dancer, Chara the Chicken-Foot Witch is out to make the rest of the Mucklands as miserable as herself.

The Villain's Plan

Already a cruel and dastardly person, Chara's plight made her even crueler. Instead of using her considerable powers for good, she's chosen to curse as many people as she can, because if she can't be happy, why should anyone else? When it comes to L. Dorothy Sandwich, Chara could think of no one who makes her skin crawl more. So, she turned the gnome into a pitiful muskrat. Truthfully, however, Chara is filled with jealous rage because Sandwich is the embodiment of everything good and happy in the world, not to mention those infuriatingly nimble, magic feet.
