Early Life
She was born beautiful and realized she had the ability to sense the future.

She was burned in her own oven by Hansel and Gretel, but was miraculously rescued by Snow White and Rose Red.
Fabletown
Frau Totenkinder keeps a relatively low profile in Fabletown and has since stopped sacrificing children. She eventually reunited with Gretel and taught her the magic arts. She is always willing to assist those who are kind to her, although she has repeatedly cursed Rapunzel.
