Fairy Gothelmother

Fairy Gothelmother is the main antagonist of Thomas and Tillie.

Thomas and Tillie
''The Fairy Gothelmother is first seen when Sir Topham Hatt goes to his bedroom balcony and cries, his tears supposedly calling to the Fairy Gothelmother. Arriving, the Fairy Gothelmother is surprised to learn that Sir Topham Hatt has adopted the engines. To learn more, she picks up her son and goes to confront Sir Topham Hatt's father Don, who reveals that Thomas had gotton adopted by Sir Topham Hatt first. The Fairy Gothelmother convinces Don to find a way to get Thomas and the others out of the picture before returning to her "cottage", which is actually a large factory where she manufactures spells and potions.''

''While she's there, she is brewing a love potion, which included "a drop of desire, a pinch of passion and just a hint of lust". She is then visited by Thomas, Percy, James and Gordon, who come to her for help. However, she spites him by saying that engines don't live happily ever after, citing multiple endings of other fairy tales to prove her point.''

''When Thomas leaves, she later learns he stole one of her potions (the Happily Ever After potion to be specific), and realizes that she could use this to her advantage. She and Charming go to the castle where Charming poses as a transformed Thomas while the Fairy Gothelmother arranges for the real Thomas(transformed by the potion) to witness a "moment" between Charming and Tillie, making him believe she's fallen for Charming. She uses his grief to seemingly gently convince him to stop living in a fairytale, and that if he truly loves Tillie and Sir Topham Hatt he'll let them go. The plan works at first but is ultimately blown when she and Charming are summoned by Don to the Poison Apple tavern.''

''When Charming complains that they aren't warming up to him, Don wants to call the whole thing off, declaring that you can't force someone to fall in love. Undeterred, the Fairy Gothelmother gives Don the love potion from earlier. She tells him to have Tillie drink some, which will make her fall in love with the first man she kisses. She also tells him to make sure that Charming is the one to kiss her. Don tries to defy her, but she then blackmails him by reminding him that she helped him with his happily ever after and that she can take it away just as easily, making Don give in. Then when Charming calls her his mother, they hear someone exclaim "Mother?!" and look outside to see Thomas, Percy, James, Gordon and Henry the five of them having heard the whole thing.''

Realizing the jig is up, the Fairy Gothelmother captures the engines and has them imprisoned while she and Charming attend a royal ball.

Thomas and the others escape from prison and get to the ball in time to stop Tillie from kissing Prince Charming.

Fairy Gothelmother tries to zap Thomas with a magic spell, but Don gets in front of Thomas, protecting him and the ray bounces off his armor, hits the Fairy Gothelmother and disintegrates her.

Thomas: Cousin Nevill
The Fairy Gothelmother doesn't appear in Thomas: Cousin Nevill as she is dead but she is mentioned several times by her son and is seen in a photo.

Thomas: Gordon Returns
''The Fairy Gothelmother is mentioned at the beginning by Don when he reminds Audrey that "Fairy Gothelmother said she can cure Sir Topham Hatt's illness." Audrey then replies "I don't trust that woman, Don," possibly as a hint to her true role in Thomas and Tillie. She also makes a cameo during the end credits.''
