Varicella was an evil witch as well as being Mrs. Cauldron's sister and Abigail Cauldron and Winona Cauldron's aunt. She later reformed.

History

Varicella is an evil witch, who sacrificed herself to studying black magic in exchange for greater power. Being consumed with hatred towards the human race, the callous Varicella was on the search for three legendary magical artifacts, which were: Mercury Slippers, the Broom of Sorrows, and the Lilith Wand. By combining their powers, Varicella hoped to unleash the Forbidden Moon; a deadly spell that would plunge the whole world into eternal darkness and turn all humans into frogs and toads.

She was so corrupted that the remaining witches agreed that Varicella had to be stopped before she could complete the spell. The Witches Convent banished Varicella by casting Esther’s Spell that was sealed in the book of spells for one thousand years. She was eventually set free by Abigail and determined to take a vengeance on the witch world - by using the forbidden moon spell to turn all the humans into frogs. Her plot was foiled by Garfield, Odie, Abigail, and Winona.

Varicella reformed after her defeat. By discarding the heart locket forged by the love of her parents to her, she was changed her back to her normal self prior to the corruption.

Physical appearance

Before the purification

Varicella's initial look is reflecting the evil she conceals within. She has green wrinkled skin with broken yellow teeth, long vulture-like nose, long unkempt white hair, yellow sclerae, and vile gaze. She dresses herself in dark reddish brown robes supplemented by a black cone hat with a wide red brim.

After the purification

Having got rid off the cursed locket, Varicella's facial features become more human in appearance. She now has a healthy-looking Caucasian skin, combed gray hair, and white sclerae. Her gaze is not looking nasty anymore.

Her outfit changes color scheme to multi-toned blue.

Personality

Varicella purified

Before undergoing the change, Varicella remains obsessed with her need to wreak revenge upon humanity and the witch covent, which rejected her. She cares only for getting even with those, who caused her wrong.

Her personality reverts to the opposite after the purification takes place.
