Books[]
The Lady of the Green Kirtle was a beautiful but villainous sorceress who ruled the Shallow Lands, a country she had magically created underneath Narnia, Ettinsmoor and the Wild Lands of the North. Her origins are extremely mysterious, though it is known she had the extraordinary ability to transform into a great green serpent.
She plotted to one day capture Narnia, which involved the abduction of Prince Rilian, son of Narnia's king Caspian X, and also resulted in the death of Rilian's mother, the Narnian queen, in Narnian year 2345.
The Green Witch, with the motive to take over Narnia with an army of Earthmen and rule behind a puppet King Rilian, kept Prince Rilian in captivity for several years, imprisoning him through an ongoing enchantment that she regularly renewed using a magical device called the silver chair.
She owned a white horse called Snowflake, which she rode sometimes in Overland, while Rilian rode his horse Coalblack.
She is an antagonist in The Silver Chair and the main and unnamed antagonist of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.
