"I may not be magical, but I'll do all in my power to bring you back..."

... even if I had to hold the necromancer and his granddaughter hostage!

Well, for a long time I wanted to make a tribute to Lady Gerda, the loyal servant of the evil Queen Ingrith of Ulstead from "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil", but I kinda forgot that actually the Queen wasn't killed in the film, she was transformed into a goat...

Nevermind, let's ~~make some drama~~ imagine - what if she was killed off for real? She attempted fairy genocide, then she tried to kill both Aurora and Maleficent, so she deserved it... But! We never saw Gerda's death, and she most probably survived that fall (unless she fell right on her head and broke her neck, then no). And considering that unlike most evil minions (especially from Disney films), Gerda was such a competent henchman, it was actually scary, I bet that she will do all in her power to bring her Queen back. ;)

No, don't tell me Queen Ingrith is bad! Yes, she is, I know! She is not a sympathetic villainess (even for me, cause I root for Maleficent), but Gerda definitely is. Just imagine being this intelligent and capable (a butler, an engineer, a crossbow sniper, a musician - is there something Gerda can't do?!), and wasting all those talents to be a right-hand woman for someone who was completely evil and defeated in the end. She caught my attention immediately when I watched the film in the cinema, even though she had less than 6 minutes of screen time and her name was never even mentioned in the film, only in the end credits. I need more of her story, especially her backstory (she's so mysterious), so I think there should be a sequel. Well, now there is. xD

I used digital effect here only for eyes, so yes, the fire is real again! Though it's not a fire or smoke, just a fake fire, but it looks very realistic, I like it so much! :)

You can rewatch all scenes with Gerda (brilliantly played by Jenn Murray) here:
Maleficent 2 - Gerda scenes (as I said, the video is really short, she deserved more scenes, and she deserved better!)
