Marla

Marla is a character from Sofia the First, who appears in the episode "Mom's the Word". She is voiced by actress Tracey Ullman.

Background
She is a witch and Lucinda's mother and just like her daughter before she became a good little witch, she is a wicked witch who likes to hex people and cause trouble. She embraces the family legacy and takes great pleasure from hexing people. Her favorite holiday is Mother's Day because she spends it with Lucinda making bigger and bigger hexes. She was shocked when Lucinda announced she was a good witch and had friends. To make Lucinda happy she undid her floating island hex and joined the Royal Family for lunch. She is willing to support Lucinda's change of heart, but hopes its only a phase.

Powers and Abilities
As an older witch she can cast more powerful spells than her daughter can, ones that are much too powerful for a younger witch to undo.

Using her wand (like her daughter's looks like a long twig), she is able to cast hexes to play tricks on people. A lot of her hexes appear very dangerous like summoning huge rapids or causing an entire island to float out of the water.
