The Sea Witch emerges as a shrewd, enigmatic figure whose antagonism defies convention. While lacking overt malevolence, her destructive tendencies manifest through conjured storms that sink ships, driven by ambiguous self-interest rather than direct malice. Her form mirrors a colossal devil ray, blending elegant, pointed features with an aura of menace that reflects her intricate duality. She steers pivotal events, orchestrating the tempest that nearly drowns the prince and sets his rescue in motion. When the protagonist seeks humanity, the Sea Witch offers a potion demanding her voice and tail in exchange for legs—bound by a dire stipulation: failure to secure the prince’s love results in dissolution into sea foam. Her magic thrives on transaction, devoid of cruelty yet chillingly detached. Later, she resurfaces as the protagonist’s sisters barter their hair for a cursed dagger—a lethal means to reverse the transformation—reinforcing her role as a weaver of desperate choices. Her influence then recedes, leaving the aftermath of these bargains to ripple through the narrative untethered. The Sea Witch remains confined to the 1975 narrative, with no expansion into other media. Her origins, history, and ties to the undersea kingdom’s lore stay unexplored.
