Blind Witch (True North)

"I smell dinner."

- The Blind Witch after Hansel eats one of her cupcakes

The Blind Witch is a minor character in Once Upon a Time. She appears in the ninth episode of Season One only. She is played by Emma Caulfield. The Blind Witch is a cannabalistic witch who holds the poisoned apple that the Evil Queen desires for her own purposes.

Season One
This blind witch once lived in a gingerbread house made completely out of candy deep in the woods. Her house and other treats inside lured children, which she would cook and eat. One day the Evil Queen bargains with two young children, named Hansel and Gretel, to find their lost father, in return for stealing a poisoned apple from the witch.

However, despite the Queen's warning not to eat anything, Hansel licks some frosting off a cupcake, awaking the witch. She tries to eat Hansel and Gretel but they trick her and lock her in her own oven. The Queen, who was watching the events through her mirror, sends a blot of fire through the mirror and lights the oven on fire, killing the witch.

Trivia

 * She is the fourth witch to appear in the series and the second blind witch.
 * She has a very good sense of smell and is able to sense the things around her. However this could be due to her blindness since they have Enhanced Senses to make up for one of their "lost" sense.
