Mother Gothel | Tangled (Patreon)

In her youth, Mother Gothel was the epitome of allure, her dark eyes captivating all who gazed upon her. She held court among the elite, weaving spells of desire and fascination wherever she went. But beneath her beguiling exterior lay a heart consumed by ambition and longing for eternal youth.

Her journey into darkness began when she discovered the secret to her otherworldly beauty: a magical flower hidden deep within the forest, its petals imbued with the power to grant everlasting youth and vitality. Consumed by vanity and the fear of growing old, Mother Gothel became obsessed with harnessing the flower's power for herself.

For centuries, she guarded the flower's location, using its magic to preserve her youth and maintain her hold over those who sought her favor. But her lust for eternal beauty came at a cost – she became a prisoner of her own desires, forever enslaved to the flower's enchantment.

When the flower was discovered by the kingdom's queen, Mother Gothel's world was shattered. Fearing the loss of her precious source of youth, she resorted to drastic measures, kidnapping the queen's newborn daughter, Rapunzel, whose golden locks held the same magical properties as the flower.

As Rapunzel grew under Mother Gothel's watchful eye, the sorceress reveled in her newfound role as a mother figure, manipulating the young girl's affection to serve her own selfish ends. Yet, beneath her facade of maternal love, Mother Gothel remained a creature of darkness, willing to go to any lengths to maintain her grasp on eternal youth.

Her allure masked a soul steeped in darkness, a femme fatale whose beauty belied the depths of her depravity. And as her tangled web of lies and deceit unraveled, Mother Gothel's true nature was revealed – a seductress consumed by her insatiable thirst for power and eternal beauty.
