Mother Gothel

Mother Gothel of the Dead Woods was the kidnapper and adopted mother of Princess Rapunzel. She was eventually murdered by Eugene Fitzherbert.

History
Mother Gothel was born as the eldest of three daughters of the famous with Manea, Queen of the Dead in the Dead Woods and grew up there studying the deceased as her mother captured souls from Hades to serve her.

Gothel feared her mother and death and left to dead woods to live in Corona. It was there she found a Golden Flower that kept her alive for centuries so her soul wouldn't serve as her mothers slave. The flower was stolen by the kingdom to save Queen Arianna, who was pregnant with Rapunzel. When the baby was born, Gothel soon discovered that the flowers power was in Rapunzels hair and she could still use it. She stole the baby and raised it as her own for 18 years, keeping her in a tower.

Rapunzel was eventually freed from Gothel by her lover Eugene Fitzherbert as he threw Gothel out of the tower and destroyed Rapunzels powers that kept Gothel alive. It is unknown of the fall from the tower killed her or that she turned to dust because of Rapunzels hair being cut off first. What killed her first is unknown but is most likely her soul returned to the Dead Woods, and to her mother and sisters.
