Lucinda, Ruby, and Martha are the King's three strange cousins. The women are inseparable from each other and share the same odd mannerisms and behaviors. The three women are undoubtedly evil although they hide their wicked ways under the rouse of innocent misunderstandings. They take great joy in frightening Snow White and creating mayhem in the castle. It is the three sisters that cast the Queen's father's soul into the magic mirror and ensure that his words drive the Queen into madness. It is also the three sisters that introduce the Queen to witchcraft and the dreaded spell that poisons Snow White's apple.
