Drusilla (Empath stories)



Drusilla is a character that is part of the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series.

History
She is a witch who was Chlorhydris' fellow classmate at a sorcerer's school, where the two of them have met Manfred the Magnificent. However, although Manfred originally went after Drusilla, it was Chlorhydris that captured his heart, and since sorcerer's school the two humans had a relationship together, making Drusilla so jealous that she plotted to get even with Chlorhydris. On the day that Manfred and Chlorhydris would have married, Drusilla lured Manfred into a cave and turned him into stone, and then taunted Chlorhydris by saying that Manfred will never marry her. Chlorhydris waited at the church for her bridegroom to come, but unfortunately he never came, as he was trapped in Drusilla's lair for twenty years, guarded only by her pet serpents.

At the time of the story "The Prisoner Of Stone", Sassette encountered Drusilla and the man she had turned to stone when she was fleeing from the Smurflings after they had been struck with Cupid's love arrow. Sassette told Papa Smurf, Grandpa Smurf, and Empath about the witch and the man turned to stone, which made Papa Smurf decide that he was going to help rescue Manfred. However, after Papa Smurf, Vanity, Sassette, and Cupid were captured by Chlorhydris when they were trying to get Cupid's love arrows back when they were switched with the witch's black-heart arrows, Vanity and Tapper went with Sassette into Drusilla's lair to free Manfred with a magic depetrifying pellet given to them by Chlorhydris. Although the three Smurfs were prevented from getting near Manfred to free him with the magic pellet by the serpents, they accidentally freed Manfred by knocking the magic pellet onto him with their tails. Drusilla then tried to turn the Smurfs into stone, but Vanity accidentally deflected Drusilla's magic power back onto herself, causing her to be turned to stone instead.

Personality
Drusilla is a woman so driven insane with jealousy that she would go to great lengths to make Chlorhydris miserable. As presumably the petrified form of Manfred and the two serpents were the only company she had for years, she became very possessive of Manfred to the point of attacking anybody that would dare take him away from her with her magic powers.

Clothing And Appearance
Drusilla has long wild orange hair that has golden baubles at the end of each clumpy strand. She also wears a long red dress that has golden baubles at the bottom.
