Wicked Stepmother	comment	The Wicked Stepmother, the woman hostile to her stepchildren, is a perennial trope. Older Than Feudalism, she appears in legends and folklore around the world and is the villain of many a Fairy Tale. Psychologists hypothesize that she is an Archetypal Character devised by children as a means of channeling their negative feelings about their mother toward someone who isn't actually their mother (allowing them to process those negative feelings while still idealizing their mother). Some historians, meanwhile, believe that the trope was developed for didactic purposes, serving as a means of warning children against potentially untrustworthy suitors that might try to court their widowed parents for their wealth or their nobility; indeed, Death by Childbirth was extremely common in the Middle Ages (and well into the Modern Era), leading to many children of the period being raised by stepmothers. Sadly enough, Truth in Television; children are vastly more likely to be abused by stepparents. In fact, in some languages, the word for "stepmother" is the word for "mother" followed by a pejorative suffix.note In Spanish madrastra — the Latin suffix is the same as in "poetaster," a hack poet; in French, the cognate marÃ¢tre is now so associated with this trope that it's only used for wicked ones, with the common word being belle-mÃ¨re, same as "mother-in-law." Even centuries of subversion have not transformed her into a Discredited Trope; she can still be played either straight or subverted. She generally favors her own children — whether from a previous marriage or this one — over her stepchildren. Not that that causes this trope, because it's kind of natural. It's just another symptom. Sometimes her economic motives are made clear: there is only so much to go around, and she wants it for herself or her own children. An equivalent male figure is the Evil Uncle — because inheritance is generally through the male line, the uncle can inherit his brother's children's estate. Envy is another common cause; the Wicked Stepmother either wants to be Fairest of Them All or to have her daughters be so. On the other hand, the stepsiblings or halfsiblings can but need not be hostile to the hero(ine). If they are hostile, Youngest Child Wins is trumped by the older child's stepchild status. The father is seldom a factor. If not dead (which is common), he will nevertheless never intervene on his child's behalf, if he even knows how bad things are. Her tactics vary widely. She may simply oppress the heroine, keeping her in rags and slaving at household work — sometimes going as far as assigning the Impossible Task. As a Wicked Witch, she may transform the child(ren) into animals. She may drive or send them off. She may act violently toward them and even kill them (and perhaps cap that by cooking them up and serving them to their father.) Rarely is she ever a Lecherous Stepparent. The stepchild(ren) may succeed in defeating her through help from their real though dead mother — the Grimms' version of "Cinderella", "Aschenputtel," has Aschenputtel get her gowns from the tree planted on her mother's grave. Talking Animals may also feature, as can a Fairy Godmother. These figures can do everything from performing the Impossible Task on behalf of the child to ensuring that She Cleans Up Nicely despite the dirt and rags she is reduced to. This trope is sometimes the result of writers attempting to Bowdlerise fairy tales by transforming a cruel mother into a wicked stepmother. For instance, Grimms' original tales of "Snow White" and "Hansel and Gretel" both featured a cruel mother. Given her status as a villain, the Wicked Stepmother's chances of surviving the ending are not good. The Happily Ever After ending of most fairy tales often dwells with more detail on how the Wicked Stepmother and/or her children were punished than on the hero and happiness. On the other hand, stepmothers who are not disposed of often return; when she is not executed at the wedding, she may, for instance, try to kill the heroine when she gives birth and replace her with her own daughter; so the Fairy Tale doesn't end (happily or not) until she's dead. Sometimes preceded by a Guess Who I'm Marrying? scenario. Can involve a Missing Mom; older stories usually do, often caused by Death by Childbirth. A common subversion is the jealous Daddy's Girl regarding any stepmother as a Wicked Stepmother; see Parent with New Paramour for cases where it's the children who are in the wrong. The possibility of a Wicked Stepmother may hang over a Blended Family Drama. The Red-Headed Stepchild is a particular victim. Subtrope of Evil Matriarch. Note that the Magical Nanny often becomes a stepmother via Marry the Nanny, but never a wicked one. Department of Child Disservices is a modern organized variation. Usually, Social Services Does Not Exist in stories with a Wicked Stepmother. Contrast Good Stepmother for the trope's logical antithesis. Often a staple of the Cinderella Plot. These stepparents can also be The Ex's New Jerkass if the children's other parent is still alive. While close to an Always Female trope, there are occasional Wicked Stepfathers. These types of characters sometimes hold the opinion Not Blood, Not Family towards their stepchildren. noreallife

While Miss Minchin is no one's stepmother, she ends up becoming eerily similar to many of the most famous examples of this trope when after Sara's father dies deep in debt, she forces Sara to work as an indentured servant to pay off the debt, sells most of Sara's possessions and forces her to sleep in an attic.

Wicked Stepmother / int_14600393	comment	A variation in Matilda with Miss Honey's backstory; after her mother died, she was raised by by her Maiden Aunt, her mother's stepsister. Said Maiden Aunt is none other than The Trunchbull, who is also implied to have murdered Miss Honey's father in order to get her hands on his money and property. Inverted with Matilda herself, as her biological mother is the wicked one while Miss Honey, her adoptive mother in the end, is kind and loving. (The film adaptation somewhat subverts this, as Matilda's mother is shown to be less cruel and ultimately signs the adoption papers because she realizes it's what's best for her daughter, although Miss Honey's backstory remains intact.)

After being partially responsible for her sister's death from overwork, she turns her resentment on her newly-orphaned nephew — accusing him of purposefully making her own son look bad by getting good grades. Kaneki recalls that she slowly phased him out of all family interaction, first reducing the amount of food he was given at meals before finally just leaving him minimal funds to purchase his own food. She also threw his father's books, while pretending she was doing him a favor by "cleaning his room". By the time of the story, she has long since stopped having any contact with him. The sequel reveals that his mother was just as bad if not worse, being physically abusive.

Wicked Stepmother / int_2192aeb3	comment	Fire Emblem doesn't lack examples: Emperor Arvis of Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War is both Seliph's evil stepfather and Evil Uncle, because he married his half-sister, Seliph's mother. Bonus points for murdering his wife's first husband, though, unlike most examples, they don't interact as family members. In fact, the only time they meet is when Seliph confronts Arvis towards the end of the game, in what is implied to be Arvisâ€™s Suicide by Cop. Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade features Sonia, a wicked stepmother to Lloyd and Linus. Oddly enough or not, given Nino is adopted, she doesn't treat her daughter Nino any better than she treats her stepsons. They, along with their father, seem to treat Nino better than Sonia herself ever has. Zig-Zagged in Fire Emblem Fates: On the Hoshidan side, Queen Mikoto averts this as she loves her four stepchildren just as much as her biological child, the Avatar, and they love her back and even refer to her as "Mother," since she raised all of them. The only time their relationship becomes strained is when Mikoto tries to dissuade Hinoka from recklessly trying to save Corrin(Mikoto's own child) from Nohr, prompting Hinoka to claim Mikoto wasn't really her mother. Mikoto forgave Hinoka, but Hinoka tells Corrin she'll always regret saying something so cruel. However, in Nohr, Garon is the stepfather of Azura, one of the game's main characters. He's Obviously Evil - and even on Conquest (which features Azura returning to Nohr), he doesn't seem to care that much. This may actually be justified - Garon is revealed to have been a construct created by Anankos. The real Garon might actually have been much nicer in the past since the characters reveal that the true Garon was stern but still a loving father. Given that Garon is in many ways a product of Nohr's Decadent Court and Azura spent most of her life as a hostage in Hoshido (with her aunt), it's hard to say just how Garon was during the brief moments when he was with Azura as his stepdaughter. Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Zig-zagged with Patricia, Dimitri's stepmother. He recalls her with fondness and laments her death at The Tragedy of Duscur, but late in the Azure Moon route Cornelia reveals with her dying words that Patricia was complicit in the plot and never actually loved Dimitri, instead arranging the death of the King so she could be with her biological daughter Edelgard. Where it gets ambiguous is that the one saying this definitely had an agenda and while certain aspects seem to be true and were confirmed by an outside party, the real truth is likely somewhat between the two. A straighter example from the same game would be the stepmother of DLC character Balthus. After his father remarried, his stepmother went to great lengths to ensure that her son would be named heir of the house and a lot of Balthusâ€™s problems are because of her. Despite the fact that Balthus himself feels that his half-brother makes a better heir and that life as a noble doesnâ€™t suit him, she continues to target him out of paranoia that one day heâ€™ll return and try to take his place in the house back. Balthus, for his part, chooses to accept being the target of her wrath (albeit on the run) out of fear that sheâ€™ll end up turning her attention toward his mother (and by extension the Hidden Elf Village she came from), his father, or even his half-brother otherwise.

Wicked Stepmother / int_22211d68	comment	In one episode of Bones, the Villain of the Week was the victim's stepmother, who killed him so her own son would get the whole inheritance. Since she sacrificed her medication to be able to poison him, she died in no more than five days after being discovered. (she didn't care about dying as long as her son got the money). Because her son wasn't guilty of any crime regarding the inheritance, he did get it all but isn't comfortable with the means. It's ultimately a Pyrrhic Victory for the stepmother, who got what she wanted but at the cost of not only her life but her son's respect.

As in the original tale, she sends her huntsman to cut out the princess's heart. When he doesn't do it, she turns herself into a hag to get her own hands dirty. One of two contenders for the Trope Codifier as far as Disney goes, along with... Lady Tremaine of Cinderella is far more cruel and manipulative than her fairy tale counterpart. When Cinderella is about to go to the ball, she manipulates her two daughters into destroying Cinderella's dress so she can't go. Later, she locks Cinderella in her attic room to stop her from trying on the glass slipper. The sequels show that she can be just as rotten to her own daughters.

Wicked Stepmother / int_26674ed5	comment	Otacon's stepmother Julie in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty was revealed to have seduced him, causing his birth father Huey to commit suicide and mentally scarring his stepsister Emma, who nearly drowned that day from his father's Taking You with Me attempt when he was supposed to be watching her. It's not known if Julie regrets these actions, but she sure didn't mind seducing him and did little to try and alleviate Emma's resentment towards Otacon for the incident she caused. Not to mention that Hal was 17 at the time, and it's strongly suggested she did it to get back at Huey for neglecting her. The guilt from the whole disaster led Otacon to run away from home and continue his education away from his family, although he and Julie kept in touch through letters.

Wicked Stepmother / int_26ef42e7	comment	Subverted with Kevin & Kell. Lindesfarne considers her stepmother Kell to be her mother, and Kell considers Lindesfarne her daughter, rather than a stepdaughter. Lindesfarne's original adoptive mother, however, is a Jerkass who largely ignored her during her childhood, and desperately tries to win her over, at one point making Lindesfarne allergic to Kell, partly motivated by wanting to get back at Kevin. At Lindesfarne's graduation, she gives her a hug- albeit with a blood transfer bag on hand- and a document saying that she waives all claims to custody of Lindesfarne as she has now come of age.

In Bear Burglary, she refers to herself at one point as having been one for her former stepson Jeff, but in fact, she'd actually tried to be a nice parent, even though Jeff avoided her as much as he could while she was married to his father. Despite his earlier behavior towards her, he ends up coming to her for help during the events of the book, and she helps clear his name when he finds a body and becomes a suspect for murder as a result.

Giselle, homesick of Andalasia and hurt by the hardships of her new world, decides to wish for a "fairy tale-life", turning her suburb of Monroeville into the fantasy land of Monroelasia, but one thing she did not think about was her new position as Morgan's step-mother: much to her horror, her wish slowly turns her into a fairy tale wicked stepmother. The four "steps" to becoming a wicked stepmother are even explicitly listed as the four new traits Giselle obtains: wickedness, vanity, cruelty and ambition.

Wicked Stepmother / int_2a8d8e6f	comment	In Gotham, Oswald Cobblepot finds his biological father, Elijah Van Dahl, soon after losing his mother and discovers that Elijah has a wife and two stepchildren. The step-family is... less than friendly towards him. (Not helped by the fact that his treatment in Arkham Asylum made him seem... special.) It's later revealed that they are only after the inheritance, and since Oswald is Elijah's only real child, they (correctly) believe he is going to leave everything to Oswald. They try to get rid of him by revealing his past as a criminal, but Oswald already told him willingly and Elijah's only reaction is that Oswald was too modest about himself. The stepsister tries to seduce Oswald but it doesn't work. Then they try to poison Oswald's drink... and Elijah drinks it instead. After the funeral, they decide to keep him as a maid, and plan to later fake his "suicide". This ends up destroying them, as Oswald finds the poison, snaps out of his brainwashing, murders and cooks his step-siblings, feeds them to his stepmom, and finally stabs her to death with a kitchen knife.

Wicked Stepmother / int_331ed304	comment	A Sweet Valley High novel had the central character constantly being verbally and emotionally bullied by her stepmother, to the point where she would outright lie to the girl's father and tell him that she was being rude and disrespectful to her — and the jerk would believe her. Not until the girl saves her baby half-sister's life (she was choking on a button) does it finally dawn on the woman how horrible she's been. The stepmother not only apologizes but admits that she was trying to drive her husband's daughter away in order to have all of her father's attention to herself. Two other books in the franchise feature this trope as a plot point, both with the same character. Said character is a Daddy's Girl to her single father and has bad abandonment issues. The first book plays this trope ridiculously straight with her father's new girlfriend having only started dating him for his money and being absolutely horrid to the girl, who puts up with it for her father's sake until the girlfriend leaves her alone for the weekend, prompting such a fit of nerves that the girl takes a nearly fatal Staircase Tumble; her furious father breaks up with the girlfriend when the truth comes out. The next book has the father start dating the mother of a family that has a bad reputation and the man's daughter and the daughter of the woman already have a grudge against each other. Interestingly, both of them have different ideas of how this trope will play out: the man's daughter just assumes that the "criminal" woman and her "delinquent" kids will ruin her and her father while the woman's daughter assumes that she'll become The Unfavorite, not just for her mother and stepfather but for her beloved older brother as well (for his part, the brother has no problem with his mom's new boyfriend and is the only kid to see that nothing bad will happen). In the end, both girls realize that they were wrong and help their parents get back together.

In actuality, the girlfriend is a fine woman (if soppy), while the normally amiable Alice is being a complete dick to her. Alice does have a Freudian Excuse for reacting in such a way; Alice's birth mother divorced her father when she was young and her first stepmother, a Good Stepmother, died in a car crash, so Alice lost not one but two mothers. Learning to accept that Joan is not a Wicked Stepmother is part of Alice's Character Development.

"Aunt" or "uncle" can be used as a term of endearment to an adoptive parent, which may be what the show meant; the specifics of their relationship are never defined, only that Holly is an orphan and "Auntie Katrina" has custody of her. Holly is the rightful owner of the pound, which she apparently inherited from her real parents, so part of the ongoing conflict is Katrina's efforts to gain control of the property and evict the dogs in favor of a more lucrative venture. Even without that, however, Katrina is very open about the fact that she just plain dislikes the child. The cartoon even has a "Cinderella" parody featuring a Fairy Dogmother.

Wicked Stepmother / int_507d246a	comment	The White Wolf of the Hartz Mountains, by Frederick Marryat (originally a chapter of Marryat's novel The Phantom Ship (1837), but often reprinted seperately), tells the backstory of Hermann Krantz, a friend of Philip Vanderdecken (the main character of the full novel). After Hermann's father murdered his wife and her lover, he and his three children fled to the Hartz Mountains in Germany, where Krantz was eventually tricked into marrying the daughter of a spirit of the Hartz Mountains. Hermann recounts how his stepmother was eventually revealed as a werewolf, who proceeded to murder and cannibalize two of her stepchildren before being caught and killed by her husband, thereby triggering a curse that would ultimately result in Hermann's own death by tiger.

Initially, it just seems to be the typical negative opinion one would expect children to have in such a situation, but it turns out that Crocker was/is an inhuman Chessmaster who had a hand in Gamzee's swan-dive off the deep end, and is later revealed to be Her Imperious Condescension herself, the tyrannical troll Empress. And now she's gone and taken over the Alpha Derse on the orders of Lord English.

Will and Rowan's stepmother has a strained relationship with the protagonists, and a few suspect her of being responsible for the king's disappearance (mostly because she's now the de facto ruler of Eldraine in his absence) but the former is shown to be out of protectiveness more than anything, and neither Will or Rowan give any serious consideration to the latter. In reality their birth mother is the wicked one, having been a witch who enchanted their father into loving and impregnating her, only so she could sacrifice the newborn infants for an immortality potion; it was their future-stepmother who saved their lives.

She reduces Miyo to a lowly servant and destroys everything Sumi owned just to deprive Miyo, and encourages her own daughter, Kaya, to also abuse Miyo. Even the arranged marriage to Kiyoka Kudou — though it improves Miyo's life — was cooked up by her and Shinichi as the final way to wash their hands of her, as they assumed Kiyoka's rumored reputation as a Jerkass meant he would throw Miyo out of his home without them losing face.

Cindy fears that her stepmother, Janet, is putting on an act, but Janet is eventually able to prove that she loves and accepts Cindy as her own daughter... unlike Janet's own spoiled daughters (Lizzie and Laura), who fit the "wicked stepsisters" trope perfectly. Helping Cindy accept Janet as her new stepmother: A homeless lady armed with a shopping cart... who turns out to be her fairy godmother. (The fairy godmother was played by Pearl Bailey in one of her last roles, prior to her illness and death.) In the end, the fairy godmother deals quite severely with Cindy's evil stepsisters â€“ literally blowing them away(!) while Cindy gets the handsome prince, snaring him at an elegant party held by her father and stepmother.

Wicked Stepmother / int_5fa33285	comment	Subverted in Labyrinth, in which Sarah's stepmother complains that Sarah treats her as if she's a wicked stepmother. Sarah's Character Development in the movie reveals the real problem is Sarah's jealousy toward her stepmother and new half-brother. Her stepmother isn't exactly a saint either, though — she spends her one scene being snappish and insensitive, implying it's acceptable to take Sarah for granted as a babysitter because she's a loner, a bit of a geek, and she doesn't date. Sarah's Character Development can be read a few different ways, in particular the idea that what she learns isn't that she needs to get over her baseless jealousy (which, based on the way her stepmother acts, may be justified) but that life isn't fair, and maturity means not pitching a fit over it. In the manga sequel to Labyrinth, Return to the Labyrinth, Irene is evil even with her own biological child, Toby. She goes as far as not even showing up to his play and going out with his father instead, and Sarah has to make him dinner.

The only time their relationship becomes strained is when Mikoto tries to dissuade Hinoka from recklessly trying to save Corrin(Mikoto's own child) from Nohr, prompting Hinoka to claim Mikoto wasn't really her mother. Mikoto forgave Hinoka, but Hinoka tells Corrin she'll always regret saying something so cruel. However, in Nohr, Garon is the stepfather of Azura, one of the game's main characters. He's Obviously Evil - and even on Conquest (which features Azura returning to Nohr), he doesn't seem to care that much. This may actually be justified - Garon is revealed to have been a construct created by Anankos. The real Garon might actually have been much nicer in the past since the characters reveal that the true Garon was stern but still a loving father. Given that Garon is in many ways a product of Nohr's Decadent Court and Azura spent most of her life as a hostage in Hoshido (with her aunt), it's hard to say just how Garon was during the brief moments when he was with Azura as his stepdaughter.

Wicked Stepmother / int_68327537	comment	The band Spin Doctors has a song called "Little Miss Can't Be Wrong", which is about being free from an abusive stepmother, according to Word of God (even though several have assumed that it's a Break Up Song). There's some Reality Subtext in that it was written about lead singer Chris Barron's late stepmother, who he described as a "raging narcissist".

Wicked Stepmother / int_6a87d6db	comment	Subverted in Ranking of Kings: The young prince Boji is conspired against by his stepmother Hiling, who wants her biological son Daida on the throne. Despite this, Hiling cares for Boji as a person and tried to put a great deal of effort into being a good stepmother to him before Daida was born: She wants her son to be the king, but she doesn't want Boji in any harm either. It's suggested that she doesn't want Boji to be the king because she doesn't think he's equipped to fulfill the role—Boji is goodhearted and kind and she recognizes this, but he's also physically disabled, very immature, and painfully naÃ¯ve.

Wicked Stepmother / int_6c39a620	comment	Ascendance of a Bookworm: The polygynous brand of Exotic Extended Marriage is frequent among nobles and it's not rare for men to take mistresses on top of this, so things can get ugly when women end up with some power over the fate of children who are their husband's, but not their own: Veronica, who has an extreme case of Thicker Than Water, is abusive towards Ferdinand, the bastard son her husband took into the main household to be raised as their heir's right-hand man. Despite Ferdinand being quite happy with his future position, Veronica got into her head that he wanted to become the heir himself and got hostile to him to the point that when her husband died, Ferdinand almost immediately fled the household out of fear for his own life. Gloria started out as the second wife in a household whose first wife had already produced an heir, making Gloria's own eventual son second-in-line. Then the first wife died and made Gloria the first wife. The first thing Gloria did was start scheming to make her own son the heir in his half-brother's place. After Gloria's own son gets executed for Bodyguard Betrayal and the rest of the household avoids execution only because the region's archduke is into finding alternatives, Gloria seeks revenge towards the person her son refused to protect with no regard for the consequences on the rest of the household, including her stepson. The High Bishop, one of the antagonists, has this as his backstory as well. His mother had a Death by Childbirth and the second wife who was made first wife by the event had him sent to the temple because he's a de facto Muggle Born of Mages in terms of his innate capacity to wield magic.

When it comes to acting the part, however, she is frequently shown to be a strict but loving parent. When Miya works up the nerve to call Teru "Mother", Teru very firmly tells her to not do so, as Miya apologizes for offending her, Teru explains that Miya shouldn't call anyone else "mother" except her late biological mother. She then goes on to say she has no objection to being called "Mommy".

Notably, Nakia has pretty much no love for any of her family, biological or otherwise. It's revealed from the start that she wants to use black magic to kill off her stepchildren so that her own son Juda can take the throne, but it's also hinted that her love for Juda is centered around her desire to have her bloodline rule Hattusa in revenge for her having to be forced as the king's new bride. She shows no affection for her husband and, when her brother is horrified to learn the various things she's done, she coolly threatens to kill him if he reveals her plans. She also kills her own niece, just to try to frame Yuri. This trope is averted by Kail's mother Queen Henti, who besides loving her own sons was also a good stepmother to the son of the king's previous wife) as well as Kail's other stepbrothers (one is the son of a concubine, another was the child of a royal maid).note Likely because in real history, said sons were actually hers instead of other women's, but this was changed for plot reasons.

Wicked Stepmother / int_825bbe31	comment	A Tale of...: Referenced in A Tale of the Wicked Queen when the Creepy Triplets ask Snow White if her stepmother is an evil one like in fairy-tale. They're disappointed to find out she is not. A Tale of the Wicked Queen is a Twice-Told Tale of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs that shows how and why Grimhilde became so evil. The Queen starts out as a sweet stepmother to her new daughter Snow White and sees Snow as her own. She specifically wanted to avoid being an abusive parent like her own emotionally and physically abusive father. After her husband dies in war, the Queen becomes lost in grief and takes solace in the Magic Mirror (which is actually her father's soul trapped in a mirror, thus explaining why she so desires his approval). Over time her own grief, and intervention from the Odd Sisters, changes the Queen into an evil, jealous person. After she lets herself die, her soul gets trapped in the mirror. Her final line implies that reverted back to her kind motherly self. The Queen mixes trope with My Beloved Smother. Though she is genuinely jealous of Snow, much of her abuse comes from trying to shield her daughter from the outside world and from men (the Prince in particular). A Tale of The Wicked Stepmother turns Cinderella into an Hourglass Plot. Cinderellaâ€™s father, Sir Richard, is abusive to both his new wife, whom he only married for her inheritance from her late husband, and to her two daughters. He makes them do chores and stop their lessons for ladies, while blatantly favoring Cinderella.

Wicked Stepmother / int_89465e75	comment	Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Percy's Jerkass stepfather, "Smelly" Gabe Ugliano. Percy's mother Sally only married him because Gabe's "mortal stench" helped hide Percy from monsters. Gabe proceeded to abuse Percy and Sally, and to squander the family's money on gambling and booze, until Sally got sweet, sweet revenge at the end of the first book. Subverted with Annabeth's stepmom, who is way better than Annabeth describes. It might be a case of fear on her stepmom's part (which she eventually tried to get over), utter lack of parenting ability on her father's part, and a little kid's perspective plus several years of built-up bitterness on Annabeth's part. Once all parties were actually willing to work at being a stable family, they started getting along. Persephone. Little bit different in that Nico is the result of her husband having an affair with a mortal, as gods do, but Nico claims that she hates him. He can still use seeds from her garden to prolong his life in a "death trance", though. Persephone herself finally gives her own perspective in The Sun and the Star, saying that she found Nico hard to look at because he was a living reminder of her husband's betrayal, but that she's come to appreciate him over time, and recognizes she hasn't treated him as he deserves. However, she doesn't tell Nico any of this; she's counseling his boyfriend to help him in their relationship, but she asks Will to keep the whole thing between them. Hera is an aversion, but only because she can be just as awful to her own kids. She drove Hercules insane so that he killed his wife and kids, but she also threw her own son, Hephaestus, off Mount Olympus for being ugly. A number of goddesses avert this though: Amphitrite doesn't shower Percy with affection, but she doesn't go out of her way to make his life unpleasant. Similarly Sigyn doesn't do anything to Loki's children made without her, though given how Loki acts that just means they only have one god making their lives miserable.

Wicked Stepmother / int_8a6f1cf1	comment	In "The Rose Tree", the stepmother kills her stepdaughter out of pure jealousy of her beauty, cooks the body, and serves the dish to her husband. This is the same story as the Grimms' "The Juniper Tree," just with the child changed to a girl and tree undergoing an Adaptational Species Change. In most versions, the child gets better. (The half-sibling in both this story and "The Juniper Tree" is invariably on good terms with the stepchild.)

When the drug turns out to cause delusions and suicidal urges in a minority of patients, Rick covers it up. Cassie discovers evidence of Rick's crimes, but before she can get an adult to take her seriously, Rick plants crystal meth in her room so her mother will agree to send her to Peaceful Cove, an abusive reform school, which Rick hopes will keep her out of the way until she turns eighteen.

When the mother dies, Fey is sent to live with her father, and his wife and son. The father is cold and dismissive of her, but dies pretty soon in and doesn't have much of a presence. The son eventually befriends Fey and enjoys her company. The stepmother, however, hates Fey and believes that the girl is cursing the family to die. The stepmother has various people come in to beat and abuse Fey, and eventually dies while trying to whip Fey herself. It's also revealed that the stepmother threw Fey's music box (the last thing she had of her mother) down the well.

Wicked Stepmother / int_9695c0a3	comment	The Betsy the Vampire Queen books by Mary Janice Davidson have Antonia Taylor, Betsy's stepmother. She pursued a married man, destroying his marriage, and tried to turn him against his then-teenage daughter. She wanted him to surrender full custody to his ex-wife, and when that failed, to send Betsy to military school. Her efforts continue into Betsy's thirties when, after Betsy's funeral, she eats a celebratory lobster dinner and books a cruise. She is even, at one point in the backstory, possessed by Lucifer for a year, and no one notices because she's so nasty by nature. Undead and Unworthy spoilers: After her death, The Ant comes back to haunt Betsy as a ghost because, in life, her sole purpose was to torment Betsy. Part of this new torment includes walking in on Betsy and her husband during lovemaking, and making no apology or attempt to leave.

Wicked Stepmother / int_977c980a	comment	Enforced in the Tales of the Five Hundred Kingdoms; because the world runs on narrative causality, even stepmothers who don't start out evil become evil, unless Genre Savvy people can subvert it. Played with in The Sleeping Beauty, where no fewer than three evil sorceresses try to enchant the king while he is still mourning his beloved wife; the local Fairy Godmother beats them to it and marries the king herself in disguise as the Obviously Evil Wicked Stepmother. The next book Beauty And The Werewolf reveals that the heroine's stepmother avoided this fate (as much as her stepsisters avoided becoming wicked) thanks to her being a busybody. A rare occasion of a flaw saving people, though the heroine learns to calm down and calls herself out for being such a busybody when she realizes people really didn't need her being so controlling to have things work.

She isn't literally the stepmother of the men at Genesis House (if anything, she's more like a foster mother, since many of them are there because their families have insisted on sending them or straight-up won't have them in the house), and she's certainly much more sympathetic than most examples of this trope, to the point where she's nearly a deconstruction, but the fact remains that she doesn't treat the men at all equally — Mark, who reminds her of her dead son, is a favorite from day one, whereas she never likes or trusts Scott despite the fact that he goes out of his way to be honest with her and puts as much effort into the program as anybody.

Wicked Stepmother / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire: The Dance of the Dragons had its root causes in a rivalry between Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen and her stepmother Queen Alicent Hightower. Their rivalry exploded into conflict when Rhaenyra's father King Viserys I died. The king had wanted Rhaenyra to inherit the throne, but the queen crowned her eldest son instead, and managed to rally support from several major houses. War broke out as Rhaenyra called on her own allies to help her seize the throne from her half-brother and stepmother. In the end, both claimants were killed and the throne passed to Rhaenyra's 10-year-old son. Going further back, Queen Visenya Targaryen is suspected of poisoning her nephew/stepson Aenys (her brother married both her and her sister, and her brother and sister are Aenys's parents) so her son Maegor could take the throne. Catelyn Stark, otherwise the definitive example of a Mama Bear, does not have a good relationship with her husband's illegitimate son, Jon Snow. However, she treated him very well by the standards of her society, where other women are noted not to even tolerate the presence of their husband's illegitimate children in their own homes. She does not prevent Jon Snow from having any of the comforts of noble life, and does not interfere in any of his relationships. However, when her son, Bran, is comatose and she is extremely sleep deprived after tending all alone to him for weeks, her relationship with Jon takes a turn for the worse, with her wishing that he had fallen off Winterfell's tower instead of her biological son Bran, but it's easy to see where that resentment came from. When Catelyn was a teenager, all alone with her new husband, a total stranger to her, in the North, where she knew nobody else, she asked him about the identity of Jon's mother. Ned Stark reacted violently to her simple, reasonable question, and scared her into silence. In Westeros, bastards are not normally used to be raised in a castle with their biological parents and half-siblings, so Cat's Silent Treatment is an improvement.

Wicked Stepmother / int_a5b8b965	comment	It should be noted however that Hera usually did not actually fulfill the part of step-mother since the mothers of the children in question in most cases stayed alive long enough to raise their children or they were given away to other people to raise. Only in two or three cases did Hera actually act as a stepmother proper: When Alcmene abandoned the infant Heracles to placate Hera's wrath, Hera ended up nursing the baby (it's usually described as by deceit and trickery). And before that, she had also nursed the infant Hermes, with whom she got along fairly well afterwards. Hermes' birth mother, the minor goddess Maia, was also one of the few of her husband's paramours whom Hera did not give trouble and who even was able to protect Arkas, Zeus' son by Callisto, from Hera's wrath. Hera also teamed up with Athena in aiding the Achaeans against the Trojans during the Trojan War in The Iliad (though Athena has the advantage of generally being born to Zeus's wife before Hera, and was not the result of Zeus having an affair). Finally, Hera also raised Thetis as a kind of adoptive daughter.

Wicked Stepmother / int_a8e4ca16	comment	Step by Step: Somewhat averted, in that there are no major issues between the stepparents and their stepkids, even if the transition is not as smooth as The Brady Bunch. However, there are some major points of contention: Frank's only daughter Al has a difficult relationship with stepmother Carol in the beginning when Al objects to Carol's obsessive orderliness. It gets to the point where (in an early episode) she threatens to move in with her grandmother or find her biological mother. Al relents by episode's end and realizes Carol will do fine filling the void left behind when her biological mother chose to leave. Dana, Carol's eldest, has issues with both stepbrother J.T. and stepfather Frank. Dana and J.T. rarely get along, especially in the early years, and freely trade insults; this is due in part to being schoolmates, and already disliking each other even before their parents married. As the series continues, they develop a grudging mutual respect and willingness to help each other. As for Frank, Dana initially regards him as an oaf, but gradually comes to appreciate him.

After finding out Jack is a monster and Elsa helped him free Ted, Verussa forces Jack to transform with the Bloodstone so he'll kill Elsa, and she's pretty excited about the prospect of shooting Elsa when she's cornered.

Wicked Stepmother / int_b30ae4db	comment	Game of Thrones: While not abusive, Catelyn Stark makes it pretty clear to Jon Snow, her husband's son by another woman, that she doesn't want him around. Ned Stark conceived Jon as the result of adultery and brought him home as a baby to raise alongside his trueborn children, resulting in Catelyn's unhappiness with this situation and prompting her resentment of the kid.From the books...Catelyn is also at least slightly worried that he might have sons who would eventually contest her own grandchildren for the right to Winterfell, and thus strongly supports Jon's desire to join the Night's Watch, which would prevent this from happening. She fears Ned might have loved Jon's mother more than her — remembering how Ned was adamant that he raise Jon at Winterfell himself alongside the children she had with him — and this might be part of the reason why Ned loves Jon so. When she tries to ask about Jon's mother, Ned's reaction actually frightened her so much that she decided to drop the subject and wouldn't take her unhappiness about it out on him. In the third book, when she reflects on how fiercely protective Ned was of Jon, she again wonders about Jon's mother, wondering if Jon's mother prays for him just as she prays for Robb but resigns herself to never knowing who Jon's mother was. Catelyn comes to regret her dislike of Jon after all the tragedy that befalls her, believing that it was karmic retribution for betraying the promise she made to love him, a bargain she made with the gods so that Jon would live when he became very ill as a baby. In the Season 6 finale, it's revealed that Catelyn wasn't so much Jon's wicked stepmother as his wicked aunt; Jon's mother was Ned's sister Lyanna Stark and his biological father was Rhaegar Targaryen. After Lyanna died following childbirth, Ned adopted his nephew Jon, raised and loved him as his own, and passed Jon off as his illegitimate child to protect Jon from the wrath of King Robert Baratheon, who had been Lyanna's fiancÃ© before she eloped with Rhaegar. Catelyn may have acted very differently if she'd known Jon was her nephew whom her husband was raising to keep a promise to his dying sister instead of a child her husband conceived with another woman as a result of infidelity; unfortunately, by the time the truth is known, Catelyn has already been killed. House of the Dragon: Queen Alicent Hightower channels the energy of this trope as an older adult but is also a more nuanced examination of it. On the surface, she is bitter, spiteful, paranoid and petty towards her stepdaughter, Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen. However, it is not so simple because her suspicions about Rhaenyra not telling her the truth are correct. Alicent is increasingly unhappy and lovelorn in her relationship with King Viserys, but is still devoted to him, fussing over him and bearing him four trueborn children. Meanwhile, Rhaenyra (her Best Friend before Alicent's marriage) has been lying to her, to her father, and to the realm constantly for ten years, bearing three obvious bastards and having the gall to insult everyone's intelligence by calling them legitimate Velaryons. When Alicent brings the matter to her husband, he tells her essentially to shut up, never speak of it again, and that to do so would be treason. By the time she confides in Larys Strong that she wants â€” no, needs - her father Lord Otto Hightower back in his old job as Hand of the King, it looks less like a Wicked Stepmother and more like a put-upon wife who needs someone, anyone to believe her when she tells the truth. Even before that, her trust in Rhaenyra was shattered when they were both still young adults by discovering she had lied to her about trysts with Daemon Targaryen and Criston Cole, which makes Alicent less inclined to trust that Rhaenyra won't act to remove Alicent's children with Viserys (her half-siblings) as potential threats to her power if she ascends the throne. When one of Rhaenyraâ€™s sons, Lucerys, fights one of Alicentâ€™s sons, Aemond, and accidentally cuts out an eye, Alicent goes as far as to try to gouge out one of Lucerysâ€™ eyes, which Rhaenyra puts a stop to.

He becomes the boyfriend of Leigh (Rose and Josephâ€™s widowed mother) and moves into their house solely to drink away the insurance payout she received when William (Leighâ€™s husband and Rose and Josephâ€™s biological father) died, helped spread the rumours that Rose's late father William (who he callously mocks) was crazy, and treats the family like absolute crap. If that isn't enough, the audio commentary for the episode even implies that he harbors a sexual attraction to his teenage stepdaughter. Considering the style in which the story's author's father wrote abusive parents, that last option is entirely possible.

Wicked Stepmother / int_bd447006	comment	Sherlock Holmes: A rare Evil Stepfather example occurs in the story "The Speckled Band", which has Dr. Grimesby Roylott trying to eliminate his stepdaughters Julia and Helen before they have a chance to marry and inherit their share of their mother's fortune. Julia dies, but Helen manages to reach for Holmes before she perishes as well, and Roylott ends up having a Karmic Death, while Helen survives to inherit and marry. "A Case of Identity," in which the heroine's stepfather is so eager to prevent her from marrying and collecting the money which is rightfully hers from her father, he masquerades as a different man, persuades his stepdaughter to marry him, and then leaves her at the altar — after extracting a promise from her that she will wait for him no matter how long it takes. Made even worse by the fact that her mother is in on the scheme, and doesn't seem to have a problem with it from what the reader is shown. The heroine also makes a fairly decent living as a typist. If she married and moved out, her mother and stepfather would lose that income as well. Subverted in "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches." The stepmother isn't exactly a saint, being complicit in the crime being committed in the story, but the heroine's father is the true villain.

Wicked Stepmother / int_d319bcd9	comment	The Night of the Hunter has possibly the most wicked stepfather in film. The outwardly charismatic but wildly twisted Reverend Harry Powell, a serial killer who targets wealthy widows, eyes a jackpot when his cellmate, a bank robber about to be hanged, reveals that he hid $10,000 from a robbery around his house. Powell sweet-talks his way into marrying the dead manâ€™s widow, but his violent ways surface when neither she nor her two kids will tell him where the money is. Frustrated that the money hasnâ€™t shown, Powell ultimately kills the widow and threatens to do the same to her children unless they reveal the moneyâ€™s location, and follows them to the house where theyâ€™ve taken refuge. For his trouble, he ends up taking a shotgun blast to the shoulder, is arrested, and sentenced to hang for killing 25 women over the course of his spree.

Of course, she doesn't treat her own children any better; forcing the aforementioned son to be king and having him possessed by a demon so he'd be easy to control and using her daughter as little more than a tool in her plans for her son.

Adam wouldn't have married Mercy if it were otherwise. Jessie's biological mother, on the other hand, is a shallow, self-absorbed, negligent twit who tries to use Jessie as a weapon against Adam. Jessie finally calls her out on this in Fire Touched, when her mom ends up endangering the entire Columbia Basin pack and tries to shift the blame onto Adam. Played straight with Leah, Bran's wife, given that Bran effectively became Mercy's de facto father after her adopted father committed suicide. Leah is described as being an unpleasant bitch under the best of circumstances and hates Mercy from the start. This leads to Leah becoming the victim of an ever-increasing prank war from Mercy.

Wicked Stepmother / int_d9e1a051	comment	In Fruits Basket, when they realize how woefully miscast the characters are in a "Cinderella" play, they rewrite the play, titling it "Sorta Cinderella". An Elegant Gothic Lolita Cinderella is impervious to her Wicked Stepmother's demands; but she loves her sweet and innocent stepsister, who suffers at the mother's hands because she wishes to marry her off. The entire play runs along the same lines; flat and emotionless Cinderella calmly asks pretty-boy Fairy Godparent to burn down the palace, ignores the Prince while obsessing over the meat dishes at the ball, plays matchmaker to the Prince and stepsister. Curiously enough, the cruel and domineering wicked stepmother is the only cast member who takes naturally to her role.

When Haruto's father marries Maria's mother, Reiko, she resumes bullying Haruto verbally with her mother joining in tormenting him. Reiko also only married him to get their family inheritance when he dies. It's later revealed that Haruto and his step-family were never officially family in the first place, because his father never turned in the marriage papers. Yuki's stepfather treated Yuki coldly throughout her childhood, he eventually crosses the line by forcing her to get married with a man without her consent to pay Haruka's debt.

Wicked Stepmother / int_de6659ec	comment	Once Upon a Time: Played straight initially with the Evil Queen Regina, but eventually subverted. It's revealed that she was once a kind and good-hearted woman who was corrupted by years of Rumpelstiltskin's manipulation and the fact that she really wanted to marry Daniel the stable boy instead of the king, but young Snow White was tricked into revealing her secret, causing Regina to blame her. She eventually makes a Heelâ€“Face Turn out of love for her adoptive son Henry. And as nasty as she was before, Regina is nothing compared to her wicked mother Cora. Gender-Inverted with Zelena. Her adoptive mother is shown to have been a nice and caring woman, while the father was the drunkard who abused her. Cinderella has one, of course, but we never see her. The spin-off hints that the stepmother wasn't much better to her own daughters either. The second version of Cinderella, a major character in season 7, had an evil stepmother who plays much more of a role in the series. Due to a very twisted chain of events she's also Rapunzel! Mother Gothel kidnapped Rapunzel when she was already a mother of two daughters, Anastasia and Drizella. Rapunzel eventually escaped and got back to her family, but was so twisted by Gothel's treatment of her that she secretly curses the girls' Good Stepmother Cecelia in order to get back with her husband Marcus - the Curse of the Poisoned Heart, which prevents two people who love each other from being near each other without dying, forcing Cecelia to flee to Wonderland for her family's safety. Then after Anastasia drowns while trying to save Ella from falling through a crack in the ice, Rapunzel proceeds to be very cruel to not only Ella, her stepdaughter, but also to The Unfavorite daughter Drizella, who she thinks didn't remember or love her, and has her husband killed because he managed to rescue Ella but not Anastasia.

She despises Valentine, Villefort's daughter by his previous marriage, because all of the property of her grandparents will revert to her rather than her stepbrother. She eventually goes on a killing spree, poisoning Valentine's maternal grandparents and attempting to poison her husband's paralytic father (his servant is killed instead). The titular Count fakes Valentine's death to get her to safety (though he did provide the poison in the first place, in his revenge against Villefort). Madame de Villefort's murders are finally discovered by her husband. To escape justice, she poisons herself, and just to spite her husband, kills her son as well.

Wicked Stepmother / int_e04f934e	comment	Fire Emblem: Three Houses: Zig-zagged with Patricia, Dimitri's stepmother. He recalls her with fondness and laments her death at The Tragedy of Duscur, but late in the Azure Moon route Cornelia reveals with her dying words that Patricia was complicit in the plot and never actually loved Dimitri, instead arranging the death of the King so she could be with her biological daughter Edelgard. Where it gets ambiguous is that the one saying this definitely had an agenda and while certain aspects seem to be true and were confirmed by an outside party, the real truth is likely somewhat between the two. A straighter example from the same game would be the stepmother of DLC character Balthus. After his father remarried, his stepmother went to great lengths to ensure that her son would be named heir of the house and a lot of Balthusâ€™s problems are because of her. Despite the fact that Balthus himself feels that his half-brother makes a better heir and that life as a noble doesnâ€™t suit him, she continues to target him out of paranoia that one day heâ€™ll return and try to take his place in the house back. Balthus, for his part, chooses to accept being the target of her wrath (albeit on the run) out of fear that sheâ€™ll end up turning her attention toward his mother (and by extension the Hidden Elf Village she came from), his father, or even his half-brother otherwise.
