    One of the most curious moments in The Chronicles of Narnia is when Prince Caspian is confronted by Nikabrik, a hag and a werewolf who try to convince him to engage in a dark ritual to resurrect Jadis, the White Witch and false queen of Narnia. The question is, could Jadis have been brought back to life? Ever since her appearance in the Magician's Nephew, Jadis has shown herself to be a formidable opponent, as she faced off against Digory Kirke and Polly Plummer. Years later in the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, with the help of Lucy, Peter, Edmund and Susan Pevensie, Jadis finally met her end in the jaws of Aslan the Lion. Or did she?

    The idea of not aging but still being mortal, ie not dying unless you're killed, makes alot of sense. Tolkien's elves had the same sort of "half immortality" you could say. Personally I subscribe to the theory that the White Witch was killed off, then reincarnated as the Green Witch. Good stuff as always!

      Tolkien's Elves are actually more immortal then that, though misfortune can cause bodily death, their spirit go to the Halls of Mandos, a kind of waiting area, and are eventually reincarnated (in most cases, unless their sins are such that they are stuck there, like Feanor, or they gave chose mortality like Luthien and Arwen). They become, as far as I can tell, pretty much the same Elf with memories of before, far more so then is typical in the Buddhist model (hopefully I'll know more after reading the Nature of Middle Earth).
      At any rate, Lewis didn't go into nearly as much detail into his Cosmology, so we don't know what happens to Jinn/Giant halfbreeds descended of Lilith on the other side - if they're like most of Tash's people - but it seems unlikely to me that undercut Aslan's sacrifice by bringing her back. Still, I believed it myself for year, probably thanks to BBC's Barbra Killerman, and also my desire to have a ultimate villain running through the series.

    As a point of interest, this thing about Caspian *almost* helping the hag was a Disney -Walden media idea. In the actual books, it is just mentioned, but nothing ever comes of it. Regardless of that, Tilda Swinton as the White Witch was thoroughly a great character and I loved her even small cameo appearance in the movie. It is too bad that they didn't make Magician's Nephew.. someone out there in the world should make that movie, it is my favorite in the whole series and heavily features the White Witch.

    I had been confused for years as to how Aslan could have killed Jadis if she'd eaten that fruit. However, I have a possible theory, one that would also possibly extend to the Queen of Underland as well. Both the queen of Underland, at least according to Rilian (though maybe the queen put lies into his head, but assuming she is truthful, she was around at the time that the giant kings inscribed "Under Me".) Now, it's my belief that she's immortal like an Elf in Tolkien's world, in that they don't die of old age or, generally, fall ill, but CAN be slain in battle, as both the White Witch and Lady of the Green Kirtle were.
    The only evil being that seemed to be TRULY immortal, in the Narnia universe, was Tash.

  • @littlefoot5013
    @littlefoot5013 Před rokem +28

    Given how old the Lady of the Green Kirtle claimed to be, assuming that Rilian wasn't brainwashed by her, as I stated in a post below, the Lady of the Green Kirtle may well have been around during or within a hundred years or so, at most, after the Golden Age of Narnia. She was around well before Caspian was born for certain, to have seen the inscription "under me" put in. So if she is indeed Jadis, it seems that the ceremony wouldn't have even been needed by Nikkabrik.

    I think there could be more to this, but there are a lot of unanswered questions. First, being a Jinn/Giant Hybrid, does Jadis have an immortal soul like Humans and talking animals? Next, if so, then upon her death did that soul return to Charn, or stay in Narnia? Next, if Narnia, then would her soul have gone to Tash's Country? And finally, if so, would Tash have had the ability (and further, the inclination) to release her soul back into the mortal realm? Could be an interesting "What If" scenario ;)

    • @MollyOKami
      @MollyOKami Před rokem +6

      I think that was just a crock that Jadis told Narnians to make herself seem part of that world, now, granted that _The Magician's Nephew_ was written later, in the end, it still works that Jadis lied about her ancestry to seem more legitimate to the world of Narnia. She was completely foreign to that world. He world was dead, so she had no one (aside from Digory, Polly, King Frank I, Queen Helen, and, of course, Aslan, himself) who knew that she didn't belong to that particular world. Like I said, it may have been Lewis' original intention for her to be a Jinn/GIant hybrid witch, but I kinda like it this way because it shows a more in-depth sinister nature to the White Witch that she would lie to even her most loyal of followers to create an air around her & let her follows awe over her while still seeing her as "relatable."

    • @IntotheWardrobe
      @IntotheWardrobe  Před rokem +9

      I also believe this was more likely to be an urban myth that the Narnians created to explain Jadis' magical abilities and huge size. Her alien origins would have been unimaginable to them. She may have perpetuated this myth to add to the fear and mystique as well.

  • @tuomaspolla3814

    I'm actually very up to this theory, that because the Witch ate the Silver Ape in Aslan's Garden and gained immortality, her spirit survived (but was imprisoned in the Void, Spirit Realm, Afterlife or whatever dimension) while her physical form was destroyed by Aslan, and that her resurrection was potentially possible via the black magic, dark ritual and "Son of Adam's blood".

    Interesting. Given Trufflehunter's statement that "we should not have Aslan for a friend if we did", I thought that the goal might have simply been to try and lead the new King into dark magic, the kind of Faustian deal where you trade your goodness for power, more than an actual offer to bring back the White Witch in the literal sense. I think the newer movies were influenced by more modern fantasies so I seem to remember that scene being almost like a séance, suggesting that they really were going to bring her back. In newer fantasy, there always has to be a Big Bad and the fate of the world always has to be in peril so even in Voyage of the Dawn Treader they have this evil creeping magic. Lewis' fantasy is more prosaic, so a lot of his villains are much simpler--in Prince Caspian, a simple rightful king vs. evil usurper, in Voyage of the Dawn Treader, a simple quest that runs into magical challenges much like the Holy Grail stories. So I suspect this debate might have been re-ignited by the way the newer movies interpreted things.

    I was struck both by Lewis's startlingly astute descriptions of human nature, (Lewis was surprisingly wise when it came to describing vice and evil). And by the profound similarities between that depiction of the Afterlife, and Aslan's country found in the last battle and the dawn treader.
    Indeed, the descriptions of the landscapes alone were simply beautiful!

    I think Nikabrik may at least have been genuine. Even Caspian seems to have thought as much, as he has the bodies of the hag and werewolf thrown into a pit but has the dwarves give Nikabrik a decent burial. Furthermore, he laments that they hadn't won the war earlier, in which case Nikabrik might have become a good dwarf in the days of peace. Nikabrik did seem concerned for the safety of the dwarves, perhaps a bit too much. (At one point he acts like a high amount of dwarves fell in a battle, seeming to overstate their effort.) It was the fact that the White Witch seemed to get along fine with dwarves, according to the stories, plus it seemed that neither Aslan nor the four kings and queens of old were coming and they seemed to be on the verge of defeat. As for his skepticism of Aslan, that seemed to be true of ALL dwarves at the time, including Trumpkin. Admittedly Trumpkin was loyal enough to risk his life for what even he felt was a pointless quest (out of loyalty to Caspian, as well as figuring that he might as well die on a quest as die there waiting for Aslan to pick them off.) whereas Nikabrik wasn't. Still, I don't think Nikabrik was here intending to betray Caspian. It was only when Nikabrak has showed Caspian his plan and Caspian had drawn his sword and accused Nikabrik of open treason that Nikabrik turned openly hostile to him.
    And Nikabrik may have thought that killing the king, so that he could resurrect the White Witch, was the only hope for Narnia, particularly the dwarves, from being wiped out by Miraz.
    You should actually do a video on Nikabrik and if you viewed him as a villain or a tragic character.

    • @IntotheWardrobe
      @IntotheWardrobe  Před rokem +1

      That's a good point. I don't think his intentions were the same as the hag's. He certainly wanted Miraz gone and in his desperation, was willing to do whatever it took to help his fellow dwarves.
      Appreciate the thoughtful response!

    • @littlefoot5013
      @littlefoot5013 Před rokem

      @@IntotheWardrobe Nikabrik certainly has prejudice, as he seemed to dislike half-dwarves like Dr. Cornelius, feeling that they were sellouts for mingling with humans. (Which is really unfair as Dr. Cornelius can't help his ancestry.) However, his dislike of Caspian was somewhat understandable, as Caspian's ancestors had killed his people. I think bitterness against Miraz and the Telmarines drove him toward evil in the end. As such, he may still have maybe made it to Narnian heaven. (One of the dwarves in The Last Battle who had attacked the Narnians as well as the Calormen, made it into Narnian heaven after all, so Nikabrik might still have a chance as those dwarves were definitely worse than him.)

    I'd like to see an in-depth look at Miraz, his contemporaries, and the Telmar people in general. I feel like there's a lot of mystery and information that can be unearthed with them--perhaps a theory on why Narnia was "unpeopled" prior to their arrival (actually, that in itself could be its own separate video)? Rillian and Tirian are technically Telmarines, so they definitely play a huge part in the series. I also find it interesting that Caspian the First was basically responsible for wiping out a majority of Narnia's magical creatures, while Caspian the Tenth restored them to their rightful positions.

    I was just thinking that the theory that the White Witch and the Lady of the Green Kirtle were the same person might have come from the fact that both were played by actress Barbara Kellerman in the BBC TV series (interestingly, Kellerman also played the hag who was trying to resurrect the White Witch and thus appeared in all three of the three-episode volumes of the BBC version, which combined Prince Caspian and the Voyage of the Dawn Treader into one volume with the first episode being Prince Caspian and the other two the Voyage of the Dawn Treader) when you mentioned it! I agree 100% with your conclusion on whether the Witch really died. After all, Aslan himself took care of that.

    The scene of the "temptation of Caspian" in PC is part Caspian's journey to the realization that (as revealed by Aslan near the end of the book) his royal authority comes from the Adamic lineage.
    The reason Caspian is supposed to never trust witches and werewolves is not because they can bring Jadis back, but because only humans must be at the top of the racial hierarchy.
    The werewolf especially stresses this point, being half-human, a wolf-man.

    I had not seen any of the movies or other media about the books before CZcams and I always thought that the Lady of the Green Kirtle was Jadis. My theory was that the Lady was a weakened version of the White Witch who was somehow brought back. Jadis is the only woman who is both a major character and has magic powers of her own in the earlier books (chronological order). So it made sense to me that she'd be brought back a third time for another go in a more subtle way. The scene talked about in this video only made it more likely to me.

  • @samuellawrencesbookclub8250

    It is possible that Jadis is both dead and alive. Her body is dead, and I agree with the video that a bodily resurrection is only possible for Aslan, but we must remember that Jadis was no daughter of Eve, but half jinni and half giant. Her soul could never go to Aslan's country, but the folklore surround jinn suggests that they do have souls, in Arabic folklore they are considered to be capable of making moral choices, or something like one, and - though not in Aslan's country - her soul, or spirit, must be somewhere. Where, we cannot say, perhaps it is floating free around Narnia, perhaps it's at back of a cupboard somewhere, or perhaps its in a sort of limbo
    The dark magic of the hag might be able to raise her spirit. Magic in Narnia generally follows Biblical rules, and the raising of ghosts is a type of magic that the Bible acknowledges and condemns. Recall, again, that Jadis was half jinni, in folklore jinni are frequently described as possessive entities, her spirit, once raised, could well be able to possess someone. In this way, though she might never come back bodily, the soul of Jadis might well be able to return, and claim a new body.
    But who's? Well, it seems unlikely that the cult trying to resurrect the evil queen were particularly loyal to Prince Caspian, so they would have little reason to ask the Prince's permission to do it. There is no reason to ask the Prince to come to them, and potentially expose their plans, unless they have a use for him, and that use may be to become Jadis' new body. And, Caspian would be the perfect choice, he already has a following, and has a legitimate claim to the throne, everything Jadis would need to rule again. In this way the hag might be said to speak truly, Jadis would help the Narnians to overthrow the tyranny of Miraz, but only to replace it with her own tyranny, ruling - quite literally - through Caspian.

    Jadis in the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, implies that she was the executioner of Narnia, who killed traitors and that her role was assigned to her by the Great Emperor Beyond the Seas (Aslan's father).
    What if, when she ate the fruit of immortality, she became "a goddess" linked to Narnia, something like Santa Claus or the great Father Time, with roles in the world.
    In the ordering of Narnia and the creation of unfathomable magic, she was assigned the role of "Executioner", or as an opponent and the North became the place of exile for the Narnians who "sinned" and Jadis, with this role of Executioner, punished them,
    She would turn animals into horrendous and hybrid creatures, humans into giants and his entire future army would be these creatures that were obliged to serve her but that after generations forgot her and would be his queen, his creator, the North became a second garden. of dark Eden with all these creatures, also in a kingdom (the city in ruins).
    With this role, Jadis was untouchable by Aslan, which is why she was never killed until then.
    Eventually, Jadis would break this order, invading Narnia and bringing chaos, keeping the entire dimension immune to the arrival of other interdimensional beings, such as Santa Claus or Dionysus.
    And if we consider the theory in your other video, that the lady in the green skirt is the daughter of Jadis, and that she was pregnant in charm and comes to Narnia. The term "Lady" can also be used in princesses. She talks about how her race was divine (Jadis had a lot of pride in her race). She was able to inherit immortality when Jadis ate the silver fruit. She was also going to carry out her plan to attack Naenia in autumn/winter, she had a white horse called "snowflake". She knew Aslan, whom she feared, the creatures that lived underground and would destroy Narnia, and she lived in the North a long time ago.
    In the same way that the Charnians were fraticides, there was a war between mother and daughter in the northern kingdom. The green witch would have the giants as an ally (who would be intelligent, Harfang) and Jadis would have the rest of the creatures. In this confrontation, Jadis would win but the city would be destroyed (the city in ruins). Jadis would turn the giants into beings without intelligence (except for the Harfang giants who would be the only survivors), and would punish her daughter by turning her into what she is inside, a traitor snake.
    During all this time, the green witch was under this spell planning revenge, she needed to consume magic to return to her humanoid form momentarily, and she is helped by Harfang by capturing Narnian creatures so that she can feed on her magic.
    During all this time, she would create her kingdom underground by controlling the creatures that lived there and stealing their power. It is not until he kills Rillian's mother that she consumes a large amount of energy (star magic), which allows her to return to his humanoid form for a long time, but she runs out quickly, so she decides to kidnap Rillian (star human hybrid, not only to invade Narnia but to steal its magic and have an eternal source of energy. As we see, she repeats the spell on the silver chair daily but does not perform it on the Terrans, or when he tries to cast a spell on Eustace, Jill, etc.
    The silver chair is like a magic extractor, which the lady must use daily to retain her humanoid form, if she does not do so, she turns back into a snake, which is why she needed the prince so much and did not kill him before.
    She sought to conquer Narnia, as revenge against her mother and to take what she taught her to hate

    I think people are confusing the concept of immortality with invincibility here as many were confused how aslan could kill her despite her being “immortal” in most media immortality is simply eternal youth, you cannot die of old age or natural causes like disease or poisons. But you can still be killed and slain in a battle many are bringing up the elves in lord of the rings which are a perfect example they are in theory immortal but many die in wars fought against morgoth and Sauron. Hell even in depictions of mythological gods such as the Greek gods they are immortal but they can still be killed although its incredibly difficult. Invincibility is when absolutely nothing can harm you and you are impervious to any harm both natural and unnatural.

    At the end of the silver chair it is brought up that Jadis and the lady may be the same. But from here this is just my thoughts. Jadis spoke the word and her body became a statue. Through this she was able to live for countless years so it isn't a stretch to believe she could of done this again. She is also put up in the same catagory as tash. Meaning that according to are favorite lion she has a lawful prey this stands to reason that she would have to be alive to collect her lawful prey. And one more thing Jadis did know about the deeper magic after all she used it to destroy her own world. Give it some thought please. Are lion says that their was a magic before time and Jadis was way before the time of Narnia. Lastly the fact that Jadis was even able to destroy her own world then save herself speaks to her power. Their is only one other that shows that power. I think it's safe to asume that when Jadis fled to the north she left apart of herself their so if she died she could try again for narnia. And ask yourself one more question before I'm done. What would of happened if Jadises bell was rung again? I personally think that another statue would of awaken maybe someone that was more powerful then her.

    Actually, the Hag said to Doctor Cornelius, Caspian's advisor and former tutor: "Learned Master Doctor, whoever heard of a witch that really died? You can always get them back." Reminds me of Steven King's creepy short story, "Sometimes They Come Back", which also deals with raising the dead. That Hag and her cronies wanted to raise the spirit of a dead witch who ruled Narnia for a hundred years of winter. Only evil beings like themselves would have thrived under her rule. Fortunately, the Pevensies arrived in time and so Ding! Dong! The witch is dead! and is going to stay that way.

      In "The Last Battle", Swanwhite is mentioned as being a Queen of Narnia before the White Witch conquered it, whose beauty was so great that it was said that her reflection remained in any mirror or water for a year after she had looked into it. In some of Lewis' other, unpublished writings, such as a timeline he created for Narnia, he seems to have changed his mind about the time she lived in and placed her after the time of the White Witch, thus leading to confusion, including the idea that there were two queens named Swanwhite. I tend to treat the published accounts as the "official" canon.

    Something I wondered for a while is why didn't Susan Edmund Lucy Peter ever getting married in the series because they spent so long in there and they never married and it's a weird in the narnian Dark Ages it says they were other kings and queens when they left but where did they come from😅

    • @littlefoot5013
      @littlefoot5013 Před rokem +4

      It is a bit of a mystery, but it's not like there weren't those who tried. One of the main plot points of The Horse and His Boy is that Susan goes to Calormen to court Prince Rabadash and when she decides she doesn't want him, they realize they will need to subtly sneak out, lest the prince make her his wife by force, and then the prince seeks to go after her, and take over Arkenland first before capturing her in Narnia, setting up the main conflict of the book.
      Perhaps after that ordeal, Susan was a bit more wary of going off to other lands to court men. :)
      Also, it creates a sort of dilemma. In the simplest case, say Peter or Edmund had a wife and a daughter, and the daughter was married to some other kingdom, hence never taking the throne of Narnia, thus avoiding the situation in the second scenario (listed below), then Peter and Edmund would have come back in Book 4, hoping to see their long lost spouse and child, only to discover that their wife and daughter had died hundreds of Narnian years earlier and that they had great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandchildren. It would sort of be what may have happened to the guy in a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, who somehow got sent back from the 1800's to the Middle Ages and I think had a wife, and possibly a child too, but somehow got put to sleep by Merlin for at least 1000 years and woke up in his own time again, where his wife and child were long dead. in this scenario, books 4-7 could happen as usual but would certainly have some interesting subplots, at the very least with Peter and/or Edmund looking for their very long lost descendants and having a lot of explaining to do to them as to why they just disappeared and ran out. This scenario is still the nicest of the three.
      In a more extreme case, if they were married, it could be possible that either Lucy or Susan were pregnant when they were switched back to their original age, which would be VERY awkward for Susan to explain to her family when she got back to our world, to say the least, and possibly may have killed Lucy if she was only 8 or so when she came to Narnia. Either way, these events would have greatly altered books 4-7.
      In the most extreme case, they could leave a spouse and a son behind. If this happened, it could have possibly altered the events of Prince Caspian, or rather a key event hundreds of years before the events of Prince Caspian. You see, Narnia never had a true king or queen, I guess, after the end of the Golden Age and eventually the Telmarines invaded the disorganized Narnia. Had one of the four Kings and Queens of old left an heir, it's theoretically possible that Narnia may not have fallen, meaning, possibly, Caspian I was killed in battle in his attempted invasion of Narnia about 200 years after the end of the Golden Age and Miraz, Caspian X, Rillian, and Tirian were never born, as well as the seven lords of Narnia either never being born or being born in Telmar instead of Narnia. That would change a LOT of events in the Narnian saga, pretty much eliminating Books 4-7 right there, or at least greatly altering them.
      I get that it's possible it COULD have happened, but it's a big can of worms plot-wise.
      Speaking of lost heirs, though, I'm a bit curious as to what happened to Helen and Frank's Narnian heirs by the time of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, or, specifically, about 100 years before when the 100 Year Winter began and the White Witch took over. Did Jadis kill the Narnian heirs or had they all died out somehow before the White Witch came when the Tree of Protection died?
      We know that the Archenland line was still around at the time of The Last Battle (or at least it was never formally stated that Archenland had never formally fallen to Calormen like Narnia did, so presumably that line was still around at the end of the world.), but the fate of the Narnian line is a mystery. I do believe I read somewhere that one of the Narninan line saved the Lone Islands from a pesky dragon and that's how the territory ended up in Narninan control, but that was before the White Witch's reign in Narnia by a good amount of years.

They must either be descended from Narnian refugees or Archenlanders who decided to move to Narnia after the war's end.)

      I'm not sure there are any canon answers. To me, three reasonable possibilities exist: 1) Narnia was ruled by stewards/council/etc following the Golden Age, much like Gondor in the Lord of the Rings. 2) A human Narnian noble seized power (whether peacefully or through violence) or 3) Aslan directed the rise of a new monarch over Narnia and it is simply never mentioned.

The Lady of the Green Kirtle cannot say so anymore and has not affirmed any origin or name of hers. She seems to be quite another character as Jadis whose mind was already all about dominion. And finally, if Jadis's death at the mouth of Aslan could be reversed, the killing of the snake by a man would also be insufficient.

    Oh heres an update for you on what Ive been up to vertually on roblox my best friend that Ive known for a while has built an actual narnia prop server where it takes place during the first movie before the pevensie kids came around aslan wasnt in it which was disapointing but I wanted to be able to have an access point to it and I wanted it to include my favorite transport device the elevator so I built a special one on my testing facility that teleports you from point A to point B within Id say 10 to 20 seconds

    While it was interesting how the Prince Caspian movie played with the idea of Jadis's return in the flesh I actually I have an darker theory connecting to Jadis.
    Y'know how Aslan had killed her ala 'applying' he ate her right? What-if part of Jadis's soul was infecting Aslan himself? What I mean is while Aslan is faultless in
    Magician's Nephew, Lion, Witch & the Wardrobe, and Prince Caspian included he was...at times appearing as villianious as Jadis herself in the other books.
    Like take in Silver Chair where he tells Jill Pole with 'no emotion' that he swallows kingdoms & children whole, appearing to coerce Jill that she has no other option
    than his stream...forgive me that doesn't seem like the Aslan that willingly sacrificed himself for Edmunds sake! It also ties to what happened in Horse and his Boy
    where he had directly harmed (Wish I could remember her name. Was it Avarice?) that Calormen girl who was with Shasta clawing into her to the point she nearly
    fainted is yet again a Seeming White Witch thing. You can argue that was to force them to move, but he didn't need to actually harm them. Just being a false ferocious
    lion would've been enough; which leads me to think a part of Jadis was influencing him. As for Dawn Treader it wasn't just the Eustace scene (hoping Netflix doesn't
    show it like the book did.) but that part were Lucy was in the Wizard's library and Aslan had pinned an deeply threatening growl on his closest friend/ally over an
    beauty spell, and while I could understand the lesson on remaining humble him calling Susan 'An fool'...is...Oh no. Susan was like almost as important as Lucy
    to him so why'd he call her 'fool' if Jadis wasn't a part of his personality? Last Battle is the Big Red-Flag. We all know about Susan's fate, but when I re-read the story
    last-year I found it incredibly disturbing that Aslan didn't just discard Susan, but he discarded his own People the ones who failed at being faithful sentenced to an non-
    existent oblivion. These were fellow talking beasts, his very creation he had done this to. How can this be an purely heroic figure if he did that? Again pardon my
    blasphemy but isn't it eerie how Jadis's action of the 'Deplorable Word' ended her world when she chose she couldn't win, mirrors what Aslan did, seeming to not bother
    with repairing what was left of his original Narnia? I already feel Last Battle is the best and worst book, but that still doesn't look good in Aslan's case whom at this
    point might as well had been the Witch practically resurrected! Maybe it was like an kind of Horcrux on the witch's part and while Aslan's initial distancing himself
    from the new Queens and Kings seems innocent he may had actually been trying to keep himself from them fearing what he may do to them, with part of Jadis in him.
    Yep.....my POV of events is Way grim and depressing, but I basically view Last Battle as like OG 'family-friendly' Berserk anyhow!

    At best the green witch is a recaration of Jadis' evil nature. I mean reincarnation figuratively.

    Why didn't Aslan kill her before he did? She was evil as he clearly knew. Why then and not before or at very least remove her from Narnia back to Charn? He knew where that was.

    And also are lion says she is one of the Jinn this means that she can't die only be made less and we can see this in the names she takes. Jadis highest point of her power eats the apple and becomes the white witch. White symbolizing cold this goes against what are lion said. Jinn are said to be made up of fire add white and cold the fire is weak. Lastly we have the lady and her symbol is green. Fire and cold both destroy poison plants or any plants for that matter. After that I still don't think she was dead she just never got enough power to rise again.
