- “You were born evil. I ought to have killed you the moment you came out of my body.”
- ―Evanora to Agatha Harkness[src]

Evanora is the mother of Agatha Harkness, and was a powerful witch. She was killed by her daughter, after Agatha was found guilty of betraying their coven. She later returned as a ghost, and appeared before her daughter, after Agatha and her coven walked the Witches' Road.
Background[]
Personality[]
Evanora Harkness was shown to be a cruel woman, who did not care for her daughter in the slightest, as she had no issue in killing Agatha during the Salem witch trials in 1693, although this would backfire as Agatha would kill Evanora instead. When Evanora returned as a ghost, due to unfinished business, she was shown to still be like this hundreds of years after her death. Evanora's hatred for Agatha had not changed in the slightest as Evanora demanded the coven to hand Agatha over to her as punishment, believing this is what Agatha deserved. Evanora's dislike for her daughter was so bad that she said she should have killed Agatha the moment she was born, showing how mean spirited Evanora was and did not care for her.

WandaVision[]
Evanora is killed by her daughter.
In Salem, Massachusetts, 1693, Evanora has her daughter, Agatha, lead to trial, accompanied by the witches of her coven. She watches, as Agatha's hands are magically bound, and tied to a stake. Evanora asks her daughter if she's a witch, and Agatha confirms it to be true. She narrates the charges being held against Agatha, of betraying her coven, by stealing knowledge above her age and station, and practicing the darkest of magic. Agatha denies this, but Evanora silences her. The witches begin chanting, and as Agatha begs for her mother's help, Evanora joins in. The witches hands glow blue, and Evanora watches on, as they fire beams of blue magic towards her daughter. She observes, as Agatha initially begins screaming in pain, but her volume lessens, as her magic begins polluting that of the other witches, turning the beams fired at her, violet. Evanora witnesses members of her coven rapidly aging, as they continue blasting away at Agatha, with beams of violet magic. She levitates in the air, and recites an incantation, and fires at her daughter, with a blue beam, assisting her coven. Agatha manages to free herself from the constraints placed on her, and spreads her arms, releasing a wave of energy, that kills all the members of the coven. Evanora continues levitating in the air, as she looks upon her daughter. Agatha pleads with her mother, claiming that she can be good, but Evanora disagrees. She summons another burst of blue magic at her daughter, and fires at her chest, as a crown made up of energy, appears on her head. Agatha begins polluting the beam, and a violet light, emitting from her, begins climbing towards the beam, until it reaches Evanora. Evanora 's magic weakens, and her crown disappears, as she begins to rapidly age. She falls dead to the ground, and Agatha takes her mothers pendant, before flying off.
Hundreds of years later, Wanda Maximoff induces Agatha into a nightmare, where she returns to Salem, bound at the stake, and surrounded by her dead coven. The witches all begin to rise, chanting "witch", at Wanda, and Evanora rises to point directly at her, and pronounces her as the Scarlet Witch, and a Harbinger of Chaos. Evanora approaches her, as her coven tie Wanda to the stake, in place of Agatha. Wanda then proceeds to blast Evanora, and the other witches back.
Agatha All Along[]
Evanora's ghost taunting Agatha's coven.
Evanora appears in the fifth episode as a spirit, as part of Agatha's trial on the Witches' Road. Evanora tries to take her daughter to the afterlife, telling her she should have killed her as soon as Agatha came out of the womb. Rio tries to stop Evanora, but she posses Agatha and attacks the rest of the coven. Alice uses her magic to get Evanora's spirit out of Agatha, which destroys the spirit, which results in Agatha absorbing all of Alice's magic, killing her. This shows that Evanora was right about Agatha always being evil all those years ago.
