The Hedge Witch, known as Andrea Sage under the Dark Curse, is an antagonist on the ABC show Once Upon a Time. She is a member of the Coven of the Eight, who was cursed to live in Hyperion Heights. She debuts in the tenth episode of the seventh season, "The Eighth Witch".
History[]
After the Fourth Curse[]
The Hedge Witch lives in the Magical Forest. At some point, she is recruited into Gothel's coven, along with Seraphina, Hilda the Blind Witch, Drizella Tremaine, Madame Leota, and another witch. Together, their combined power allows them to perform feats of magic, any singular witch is incapable of. They become known as the "worst of the worst" witches.
At Lucy's birthday party, the Hedge Witch and the rest of the Coven of the Eight come to Tiana's Palace to free Drizella from her petrified stone state she was placed in, eight years prior, before disappearing, with plans to cast the Dark Curse. The coven later capture Henry, who was attempting to escape the curse with Lucy, and poison him. The Hedge Witch and the rest of the Coven teleport to a mountain, where the Hedge Witch has given an ingredient for the curse. The heroes arrive and hold some of the witches with swords to their neck, only for Drizella and Gothel to reveal they have Henry as the eighth hooded figure and that the real eighth Coven member is to be Regina, who has the final ingredient. After Regina forcefully gives the final ingredient, the Hedge Witch and the rest of the Coven of the Eight are sent to Hyperion Heights, with new cursed personas.
During the Fifth Curse[]
In Hyperion Heights, the Hedge Witch now works as a doctor named Andrea Sage. She is the doctor presiding over Lucy Vidrio's case, and, after discovering the truth about Lucy's parentage, is killed by Hansel/Nick Branson.
