Personality

Origin

Mother Gothel first appeared as an antagonist in the Disney animated film Tangled in 2010, voiced by Donna Murphy. She is based on the evil witch Dame Gothel from the original Brothers Grimm fairy tale.

In Tangled, Gothel was originally an elderly woman who kidnapped the baby princess of Corona, Rapunzel, from her parents Queen Arianna and King Frederic. Gothel greedily wanted to use the magical powers of Rapunzel's hair to live as long as possible. Gothel convinced Rapunzel she is her real mother and has kept Rapunzel in a secluded tower for eighteen years. Gothel tells Rapunzel that the outside world is cruel and dangerous. Rapunzel asks Gothel for paint requiring a three day journey on her birthday which Gothel reluctantly agrees to.
