Absinthe Gothel

Absinthe is now traveling the seas, wandering from Island to Island. Using her skills as an herbalist to make money when she needs it or just taking what she wants, depending on her mood. Through her travels, she has come to be called the Death Witch for many say that wherever she goes death follows in her wake. 

There is a dark secret in Corona. One that only Rapunzel, her parents, Flynn, and Fairy Godmother know. For only a few weeks after the Isle was formed a baby girl was sent there, left on the doorstep of Mother Gothel at the bottom of the tower that had once been Rapunzel’s home. Wrapped in a bundle of purple, the symbol of Corona on the blanket, however, was black, and within was a note from Rapunzel. It was the last thing that she ever wanted to do and yet the truth of what her daughter was....

....for nine months earlier she’d conceived her firstborn daughters. One daughter was born from her love with Flynn....the other of Chernobag. The demon having used the last of his strength to disguise himself as Flynn lay with Rapunzel only hours after Flynn had. His power calling to the power of the moonstone within Rapunzel. Tricked into thinking she was carrying only her husband's children, the couple was horrified when their daughters were born. For while one was beautiful and bright just as Rapunzel had been, the other was the opposite of her. Her hair dark as night, eyes pitch black, and her features resembled neither parent. For in the womb she had absorbed the dark powers within her mother and inherited the Decay Incantation.

Calling for Fairy Godmother, the truth of her dark daughter’s heritage was discovered. Rapunzel had simply been the host for Chernobag’s dark powers to merge with those of the Moonstone. Why he chose Rapunzel over the Moonstones actual host was a mystery to them, but Fairy Godmother had a feeling it had to do with the decay incantation. So they tested it, brushing her hair and singing the incantation the way Mother Gothel had once done for Rapunzel. The truth crippled Rapunzel, who fell into a deep depression. Since the pregnancy had been a dangerous one, they claimed that the princess hadn’t survived birth when in truth she was sent to the Isle of the Lost in hopes to contain her devastating powers.
