Grandmother Ginger was a “legendary” Wicked Witch of Sucria, from Reality B-89 54-Z. She was the aunt of her universe's version of Jenny Everywhere until Jenny was killed by the Old Man of the Marshmallow.

Description

Personality

Grandmother Ginger was thought of as a “wicked” witch. However, Old Mother Westwind, despite being her enemy at the time, once objected to the characterisation of Ginger as “vile”, noting that she'd only cursed her brother after being provoked. Her likes reportedly included candy and “the taste of victory”. (PROSE: The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere)

Powers & abilities

Grandmother Ginger had a number of magical abilities, including flight and shapeshifting. She once cursed a man's shoes to force him to dance until the shoes wore out. (PROSE: The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere)

Biography

Early life

Old Mother Westwind confirmed to Reality 18's Jenny Everywhere that Ginger's title of grandmother was not simply figurative, and that she indeed had a family. This included a a niece who was in fact her reality's incarnation of Jenny Everywhere, who became Ginger's Ward. (PROSE: The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere)

Feud with Old Mother Westwind

At some point, Grandmother Ginger came to live in a shack on the edge of the Candy Forest. During this period, she asked Westwind for help locating Jenny, who'd disappeared. When Westwind failed, Ginger spitefully cursed her brother's shoes, making him dance to exhaustion and wear out his favourite pair of shoes in the process. Escalating the feud, Westwind ended up chasing Ginger out of her shack and driving her into hiding deeper in the Candy Forest. She then took over Westwind's house.

With Jenny Everywhere

A few days into her occupation of Ginger's shack, Westwind received a visit from an interdimensional traveller who was actually another version of Jenny Everywhere, looking for Ginger due to the psychic influence of the version of Jenny who was Ginger's niece. Westwind agreed to join her in an expedition into the Candy Forest. After three days' trekking through the forest, Westwind and Jenny split up so that Westwind could go hunting for some food other than sweets; she was attacked by a monstrous being. Witnessing this, Ginger came to her defence in the form of a giant spider. Coming to the scene late, Jenny briefly thought the spider was the attacker and threw a summoned bucket at her and kicked her, but Ginger regained human form and identified herself to the newcomer, whom she recognised as her niece. Before further explanations could take place, the evil, the Old Man of the Marshmallow reminded them of his presence. (PROSE: The Apocryphal Journeys of Jenny Everywhere)
