~ Queen Narissa before transforming herself into a blue dragon.
Queen Narissa, also known as Narissa, is the main antagonist of Disney's 2007 fantasy film Enchanted and the overarching antagonist of its 2022 sequel Disenchanted.
She is the sinister and malicious stepmother of Prince Edward who is the tyrannical ruler of Andalasia and an immensely powerful sorceress who develops a deep hatred for Giselle simply for being an obstacle for her to keep her power. As Giselle and Edward initially falling in love poses a threat to her rule, Narissa opts to banish Giselle to a place where there is no "happily ever after". She is also the archenemy of Giselle, Prince Edward and Robert Philip.
Queen Narissa is a combination of several Disney villains, notably the Evil Queen and Maleficent - she was the reigning Queen of Andalasia, a fantasy world based on the traditional animated movies of Disney: she does not want her stepson Prince Edward to marry Giselle, because it would cause her to lose her place on the throne and plots to get rid of her by sending to a place where there are no happily ever afters: modern-day New York City.
Narissa achieves this by disguising herself as an old hag and throws Giselle into a magic well, which transports her to the real world. However, when Prince Edward finds out and goes after Giselle, Narissa has her assistant, Nathaniel, go after them, but grows increasingly angry at his failings every time. Eventually, Narissa decides to enter the real world herself and deal with things, since Nathaniel seems incapable of doing so (in truth, Nathaniel was starting to doubt his own purpose and would ultimately redeem himself).
Narissa manages to trick Giselle into eating a poisoned apple (once again taking the form of the same hag) during a ball before revealing herself to the crowds. She mocks Prince Edward and Robert by saying that Giselle shall die by midnight without "true love's kiss" - Edward tries to do so, but he fails. However, Robert agrees to do so and Giselle awakens. Narissa grows angry at this and transforms into an enormous blue dragon with the intent of killing everybody else, starting with Giselle. However, Robert valiantly stands between Narissa and Giselle to protect her, leading to Narissa kidnapping Robert before bursting out of the Woolworth Building and climbing to the top, intending to drop Robert to his death.
Giselle gives chase, and after a brief confrontation, Narissa loses her grip from the building's tip due to Giselle's chipmunk friend Pip standing on one of her horns since he had gained extra weight. After failing to complete her shapeshifting spell, Narissa is consumed in a green glowing fire, and eventually falls to her death into the streets below where she is destroyed in a shining explosion upon hitting the ground, leaving nothing but her viscous, glowing remains. With some Angelic opera Showing that she is dead

Hello, worthless. Miss me?
„
~ Narissa to Nathaniel after she arrives in New York.

Child. I'm so glad to see you. I was so very worried. What a terrible accident that brought you to this terrible place with so much sadness and so much pain. To never be with the one you love. Doomed to be with another for eternity. Oh but it doesn't have to be that way. Oh, no, no, I can stop the hurt, yes. I can make all those bad memories disappear.
„
~ Narissa disguised as a hag finds Giselle at the ball.
“
Just one bite, my love, and all this will go away. Your life here, the people that you met. You won't remember anything. Just sweet dreams and happy endings. [momentarily sees Giselle glancing at Robert before pressuring her into eating the apple] But you must hurry. You must hurry. The magic will not work unless you take a bite before the clock strikes 12:00. Hurry now. Hurry. [sticks her tongue rapidly before Giselle bites the apple]

Oh, all this nauseating talk of "true love's kiss". It really does bring out the worst in me.

You know, I've been thinking. If I'm going to remain queen, I'm going to need some sort of story when I go back. Hmm. What if a giant, vicious beast showed up and killed everyone, and poor, defenseless Queen Narissa, she just couldn't save them? Let's begin with the girl who started it all, shall we? [...] All right. I'm flexible.
„

How about this? "And they all lived happily ever after!" Well, at least I did. [starts laughing maniacally, not knowing that Pip is standing on one of her horns and makes her lose her grip] What? Oh! [accidentally drops Robert, who is momentarily saved by Giselle throwing a sword into his sleeve, before she falls] AAAAAH!! SPECIOSUS FORMOSUS--!! Ow! AAAAAAAH!!!
„
~ Queen Narissa's last words before Pip makes her lose her balance, accidentally dropping Robert, and causing her to fall hundreds of feet off the Woolworth Building when she crashes mid-falling, catches herself on fire and falls to her death until she disintegrates into glitter after hitting the ground.
Trivia[]
Narissa is based off the Evil Queen from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty, undergoing similar transformations to both (an old hag and a dragon respectively), as well as Ursula from The Little Mermaid and Lady Tremaine from Cinderella.
Queen Narissa is the only Disney villain to date to have a stepson (Prince Edward).
In her dragon form, despite having wings, they are too small for her which makes her unable to fly. Ironically, if they were larger, then she might have been able to save herself from her literal downfall.
