IN-DEPTH: Wiki

Magica grew up in Italy and had a traditional witch life - going to witch school, mastering magic, and making up her mind with what she wanted to do with her magic. In her younger years, she was actually softer and kinder (especially towards animals) but bullying and the idea of a "nice witch" drove that out of her. By the time she was an adult, she came across one spell no one else had ever completed, and one that would make her life easy - creating an amulet that would give her the Midas Touch, to turn all she touched into gold. All she had to do was collect the coins that were touched the most by the world's wealthiest people.

She gathered them all up (willing to pay hundreds just for pennies!) with Scrooge McDuck, world's wealthiest, being last. And that's where history was made - Scrooge was unwilling to part with his first dime, no matter how much she offered. On that day, and for many days since, Magica has used all the spells, charms, curses, etc she can get her hands on in order to take Scrooge's dime. Over the years it's become a predictable sight in Duckburg to see her flying on her broom to Scrooge's mansion, and they've fought for so long they almost know each other like a good friend would. Magica has vowed never to stop until the dime is hers..

Magica is arguably her own worst enemy - many of her best schemes have fallen apart due to pride and pettiness. At this point it's not just about making the amulet, she has to rub her victory in Scrooge's face. (One comic showed her getting the amulet by other means, but deciding to trash it because she needed Scrooge to know he lost to her.) She absolutely doesn't understand the sentimentality behind his dime, because to her hard work means so little. She'd rather take the easy way and just have riches at her fingertips without trying. She wants to live a pampered, spoiled life and doesn't care what indignity she has to suffer to do it.

She's willing to endanger anyone (innocent children like Scrooge's nephews, for instance) to get what she wants, but this is usually when she's at her angriest. When she's calmer and more confident, her plans are less deadly and more sneaky. But when her temper is flared, that's when she'll dig in her heels and make sure all around her suffer if she has to lose. This isn't to say she has no soft spots - she does love her pet raven, Ratface, at times forgoing the dime if it means keeping the bird safe, and enjoys gardening. She's even shown that she could be an excellent teacher to younger witches and warlocks. (One Harry Potter parody had her practically adored by the Harry/Ron/Hermoine clones.) She's even willing to lend Scrooge a hand, if her mood is good enough, though never expect it to last long.

But no matter what goodness comes her way - true love, family, friendship, honest ways to make money while being happy - she'll throw it all away if she thinks there's still a chance to grab the dime. She can be rude, snarky, and a real witch with a B, but once you get to know her... she'll be rude, snarky, but maybe she won't want to zap you with her wand. Maybe.

STYLE:
From her essence, Magica has gained the ability to transform into any full-grown animal. However, if she intends to use that form to do a bad/selfish deed (such as trying to steal things or harm someone that meant her no ill will) she will instead transform into a baby form of the same animal - a cub instead of a lion, a flightless chick instead of a swooping eagle, etc. She will remain in that form until she performs/intends to perform a good deed (lying about doing a good deed will keep her stuck in that form) and thus she will turn back into her normal Magica self.
