White Witch is the main villain in the 2005 epic fantasy movie The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. She is an extraordinarily beautiful and powerful witch with skin as white as paper who seized Narnia and cast it into an endless winter with no Christmas. She is served by various horrible races and she can turn enemies into stone with the use of her wand.
White Witch is cruel, arrogant, and considers herself above all rules. She wears a medieval white overdress gown, T-strap silver glitter heel shoes, an icicle crystal tiara, and a white witch cloak.
They realize that Narnia is trapped in an eternal winter by the White Witch, Jadis. The siblings learn about an ancient prophecy that states that when two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve sit on the thrones at Cair Paravel, the White Witch's reign will end. The siblings encounter talking creatures, such as Mr. Tumnus the faun and Mr. and Mrs. Beaver. They also meet Aslan, the wise and powerful lion who is destined to defeat the White Witch. Aslan sacrifices himself to save Edmund, who had fallen under the witch's spell. The children fight in the Battle of Beruna against the White Witch's army and are eventually crowned as the kings and queens of Narnia.

Time passes differently in Narnia, and though they lived as kings and queens for many years, only a short time has passed in the real world. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe explores themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the battle between good and evil. It is a beloved children's classic and has been adapted into multiple film and TV adaptations..
