In C.S. Lewis' fantasy novel, "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," the White Witch plays a central and antagonistic role. Also known as Jadis, she is a powerful and malevolent ruler of the enchanted land of Narnia. The White Witch is introduced as someone who has imposed a never-ending winter on Narnia, which only she can control. She is often described as cold and heartless, representing the evil presence in the story.
Hooking a Survivor for the first time on such a Hook would grant the Killer one Survivor Chop , 50 of which would unlock the Pro-Pain Hammer customisation option for The Hillbilly.
During Moonrise , this was changed to grant points that could then incrementally be turned into a Gold Coin , a temporary currency, of which up to 9 could be exchanged for special Event cosmetic pieces. In a future update, the Camp Meter will be balanced more towards the horizontal distance, allowing it to be more forgiving for Killers on different floors.
She is often described as cold and heartless, representing the evil presence in the story. Her goal is to maintain her power and keep Narnia under her control, which she achieves through fear and manipulation. The White Witch's signature weapon is her wand, with which she can turn creatures into stone.

Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows meets Alexandra Bracken’s Passenger in this spellbinding third book in the “vivid and compelling” (BCCB), New York Times bestselling Last Magician series.
Evade the Serpent.
Heed the Curse.
Rewrite the Present.
Esta isn’t a stranger to high-stakes heists. She’s a seasoned thief who has no reservations about using her affinity for time to give her an edge, and she’s trained her whole life for one mission: travel back to 1902 New York, steal the ancient Book of Mysteries, and use its power to destroy the Brink and free the Mageus from the Order’s control.
But the Book held a danger that no one anticipated—Seshat, an angry goddess was trapped within its pages. Now that terrible power lives within Harte, and if given the chance, Seshat will use Esta to destroy the world and take her revenge.
Only Esta and Harte stand in her way.
Yet in their search to recover the elemental stones needed to bind Seshat’s power, Esta and Harte have found themselves stranded in time with a continent between them. As Esta fights to get back to Harte, the Order is no longer the only obstacle standing in her way.
Saving Harte—and magic itself—will put even Esta’s skills to the test. And all the while, another danger grows, one more terrible than both Seshat and the Order combined.

One of the most horrific scenes is not always to be the one on the hook, but rather a witness. To see fear as someone else struggles for freedom is something I wish I could unsee. Limbs moving in unnatural ways and also my own inside struggle. Sometimes I try to help. But many times my fear of the hooks grows too big. What is survival with blood on your hands?''
She uses this power to punish those who dare to oppose her and to instill fear in her subjects. Throughout the story, she demonstrates her ability to create illusions and manipulate others to serve her whims. One of the main conflicts in the story revolves around the White Witch's fear of a prophecy, which foretells the return of Aslan, the rightful ruler of Narnia. Aslan is depicted as a majestic and benevolent lion who represents goodness and justice. The White Witch sees this possible return as a threat to her power, leading her to do everything in her power to prevent it. Despite her cruel and ruthless nature, the White Witch is not without her weaknesses. Her attachment to power blinds her to the consequences of her actions, causing her to underestimate her adversaries. She also greatly fears and despises humans, viewing them as a threat to her reign. In the end, the White Witch's reign of tyranny comes to an end with the arrival of Aslan and the sacrifice of one of the main characters, Edmund. Aslan's resurrection and subsequent defeat of the White Witch finally brings about the end of her rule, allowing Narnia to be restored to its rightful state. The character of the White Witch in "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" serves as a symbol of evil, oppression, and the consequences of unchecked power. Through her actions, Lewis explores themes of courage, sacrifice, and the triumph of good over evil..
Reviews for "The White Witch's Influence on Edmund: The Power of Temptation"
- Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The story felt disjointed and lacked depth. The characters were one-dimensional and the plot felt rushed. The White Witch, who was supposed to be this menacing and powerful villain, fell flat for me. The book also didn't explore the magical world of Narnia to its full potential. Overall, I found it underwhelming and don't understand the hype surrounding it.
- Mark - 1 star - I really struggled to finish "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe". The writing style was simplistic and the dialogue felt outdated. The pacing was slow and I found myself losing interest in the story early on. The characters lacked development and I couldn't connect with any of them. The White Witch as a villain was underwhelming and didn't evoke any strong emotions. I was left wanting more from the book and wouldn't recommend it.
- Sarah - 2 stars - I had high expectations for "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" but unfortunately, it didn't live up to them. The writing style felt disjointed and the story lacked coherence. The characters were uninteresting and I couldn't invest in their journeys. Moreover, the White Witch didn't come across as particularly menacing or powerful. The whole book felt rushed and I was left feeling unsatisfied with the reading experience. I would recommend exploring other fantasy novels instead of wasting time on this one.
