|| Get to know GILLIAN GRIMHILDE who’s THIRTY-SIX years old and works as the BIBBIDI BOBBIDDI BEAUTY STORE OWNER & ROYAL COUNCIL MEMBER. She is from CORONA and is often times mistaken for OLIVIA WILDE while others say she reminds them of THE EVIL QUEEN from SNOW WHITE. ||Â
Growing up life wasn’t easy for Gillian. Her family was dirt poor; her father a drunk, and her mother oftentimes abusive. It was a living nightmare for her entire childhood, but once her teenage years hit Gillian got herself the hell out of that house.Â
Living on the streets wasn’t much easier, but anything was better than being at home in her eyes. Thankfully, she was able to pass for a few years older than she actually was and found herself a job at the local beauty store on the island. It wasn’t much but it was enough for her to afford one of the cheapest apartments on the island and that was all she needed. Though that didn’t mean it was all she wanted. No, Gillian knew she deserved better than this life she was living and was determined to find a way out. And the easiest way to do that? Marry rich.Â
Gillian’s first husband wasn’t actually all that well off, but he had inherited his parents’ house after they had passed and that was the first step she needed. It was only two years of marriage before he suddenly passed in a freak car accident - leaving the home and the bit of money he had behind to Gillian. But that wasn’t enough to satisfy her, so after a year she found a new target.Â
Her second husband was much older and harder to seduce, taking a few years to even convince him to date her, but he was loaded and that was what mattered. The showering of gifts she eventually received and the size of the rock on her finger were well worth the effort it had taken to win him over.
For about ten years this was enough for Gillian - she had everything she’d always wanted growing up, money. But then she realized there was something else she was missing too, something she suddenly desperately needed… Status. For all her husband was rich, he was mostly a hermit and didn’t really have any standing on the island. So much like the first husband… this one suddenly died as well - though of a much less suspicious cause, everyone assuming it had simply been old age to take him out.
It took Gillian a while to form her plan of how exactly to go about gaining the power she sought after. So long in fact that she was almost about to give up when she met Fabian White, an island council member, one day at random. He was quite a few years older than her - but not as old as her last husband - and was well known and loved around the island. That was who she needed. Wooing Fabian wasn’t as hard as Gillian had expected it to be - the only challenge really was putting up with his daughter, but the end goal of winning that elite status was worth it.
It wasn’t long until she found herself walking down the aisle for a third time and finally finding the dream life she’s always wanted. And for a couple of years she had it all, until Snow started looking a bit too closely at her. It was honestly just the younger girl trying to get to know her step-mother better, but Gillian’s paranoia was on a high and she decided she needed to act fast before she lost everything she had worked so hard for.Â
The end to husband number three had to be a bit slower, something that took its time working on Fabian and also could never be pointed back to her. So Gillian sought out the help of a witch to buy a new kind of poison - it wasn’t as hard to find as one would expect, but then again Gillian had long since gotten to know her way around the secrets of Villain Village over the years.Â
Now with her last husband dead the only thing to do was get rid of his pesky little daughter. But the two of them dying so close in time would be far too suspicious, so instead Gillian threw the girl out and attempted to wash her hands clean of her.Â
Gillian bought the old makeup store she used to work at and thought she was finally in the clear - she was taking over the White family council seat for the time being, wealthy beyond belief, and a successful business owner.
However everything might not be as picture perfect as she thinks, considering Snow still harbors many questions and suspicions about her father’s work and is just waiting for the right moment to act on them.
