If they wanted Gothel to be from the LWM, then she could have been a Salem Witch

Yeah, but Gothel's still a nature witch (and Mother Nature I guess) so they had to tie her into nature somehow

So, she became a villain after her family was burned at the stake during the Salem Witch Trials and escaped to the NEF.

It would have been less contrived than what we saw in 7x19
