Agatha of Woods Beyond

"Best friends let each other grow up"

- Agatha

Queen Agatha Pendragon is one of the main characters of The School for Good and Evil trilogy. This princess is from Gavaldon and is called a 'Reader.’

She first appears as a friend of Sophie, but does not seem to enjoy her company. But, in secret, she's actually happy when Sophie comes to visit her---except when it is a visit involving creams and beauty products to be tested on her. The two have a fiesty friendship, with fighting, but always make up in the end.

Appearance
Agatha is usually seen in black attire, clumps, and has short, black, helmet-like hair.

She also has big dark brown ”bug” eyes and very pale skin, with pink 'princess' lips, as described by Sophie in the second book. And she also has sunken pale cheeks.

In the first book of the trilogy, Agatha is described as 'ugly', although when she cares about brushing her hair and smiling she becomes 'beautiful.' She still is described as somewhat unattractive throughout the series, because of the importance to the plot. Agatha still always has a beautiful smile, though.

Life in the School for Good
Agatha was confused with the fact that she was sent into the shining towers of The School for Good. Like Sophie with The School for Evil, she hated everything about it at first. The pink princesses, the classes, everything!

She starts to get the hang of it, doing better than Sophie. But she wonders why she was sent there.

As the story progresses, she learns that she actually is an Evergirl, and accepts it. Falling in love with Tedros, she spurns Sophie's jealousy and subsequent transformation into a witch, as Sophie blames her for stealing him from her.

Relationships
Agatha and Tedros begin dating, and eventually marry, but have a rocky relationship at the start.

Agatha’s mother’s name is Callis of Netherwood but you learn in the third book that Agatha is actually Sophie's not-really-but-sort-of sister and Stefan and also Vanessa’s daughter. However, since no love was between Stefan and Vanessa, their souls did not fuse and each soul produced it's own child, with Stefan's soul producing Agatha.

In the first book, Sophie acts as a friend to Agatha as a Good Deed despite her self-obsession, but she then realizes that she needed Agatha as much as she needed her. Sophie, however, becomes jealous of Agatha after she takes an interest in Tedros, whom Sophie needs to kiss in order to go back to Galvadon together. She turns into a witch and throws the Circus of Talents into chaos, but is then struck dead by the School Master, who was her true love, and during the saving of Agatha. The School Master is defeated by his brother. Agatha kisses Sophie back to life and they vanish from the school and appear back home.

In the second book, Sophie enjoys her life in Gavaldon and was even sort of (but not really) happy when Stefan and Honora got married. The two were famous in the early months after the curse but then returned to normal life. But soon enough, Agatha wishes to be with Tedros and they are back at the School for Good and Evil, now turned into The School for Girls and Boys as a result of the kiss in the last book being written down by the Storian, causing the School to split into Girls and Boys (in the Good and Evil towers respectively). While Sophie enjoys the girls' admiration of her, Agatha is disturbed and tries to go to the School for Boys to talk to the now-School Master Tedros, but fails. Sophie is secretly watching and disrupts their about to be kiss, making each of them think that the spell Sophie casts is made by the other. Tedros and Agatha then develop mutual hatred, much like in the first book. She is then called upon to participate in the Trial by Tale against the boys and faces off against Tedros and Sophie, who had turned into a boy with a spell. Tedros kisses Agatha, devastating Sophie, who kisses a conjuration of her mother by Evelyn Sader and brings back the School Master. Now having a boy in each of their arms, Agatha vanishes back to Galvadon with Tedros while Sophie looks on.

In the third book, Sophie has Rafal, the School Master, but then returns to Tedros and Agatha, due to a series of events, and tries to steal Tedros again. She fails, then wishes for Rafal. Rafal can only be destroyed if Sophie destroys his ring. Evidently, Sophie destroys it, and Agatha and Sophie find out about the story of their parents.

In the fourth book, Agatha is stuck at Camelot planning her wedding, and Tedros is distancing himself from her. See, the coronation was basically a flop because Tedros failed his father's test to pull Excalibur. The two make up in Merlin's thinking spot, as he likes to call it, and went back kissing. Agatha goes on a quest with Sophie, Hort (Sophie's love interest on his side only), Nicola, a new student at Good, Willam, an altar boy, and a few others. They go on a quest to see who is sabotaging all their quests and find a Snake. Long story short, a new guy called Rhian has Sophie all kissy-kiss lovey-dovey, and he slays the Snake, only to pull Excalibur instead of Tedros, everyone starts to hate Tedros, and Rhian takes this as an opportunity to imprison Tedros and his allies (and set them for execution.)

In the fifth book, Agatha has managed to escape, and long story short, she finds a ring that is really important to the plot. No, not her wedding ring. That's a thought for later. She found out her cat Reaper is the king of the gnome and there is a hidden world in Professor Dovey's ball which shows the past, future and hopes of the person inside the world.

Tedros of Camelot
Tedros is Agatha's prince. In the second book, she wishes to be with him instead of Sophie, reopening the gates to the School and her Fairy Tale. Agatha has developed a strong relationship with Tedros, enough to become his Princess and even future Queen of Camelot. In fact, in the fourth book, Agatha is stuck planning their wedding and rather be with her prince help Camelot.

Reaper
Reaper is Agatha's pet cat that has lived with her and her mother by a graveyard. He was adopted by Callis when he was kicked out of Camelot. He later becomes Merlin's helper in the third book, The Last Ever After. Reaper is also the king of Gnomeland, going by the name of C.R.R. Teapea. Tedros hates reaper.

Kiko

Kiko is one of the first Evergirls who friends Agatha in the School for Good, inviting her to sit next to her when they first meet even when everybody else is disgusted by her.

Hester, Anadil, and Dot
These three are Sophie's roommates in Malice Room 66, and they take a liking to Agatha... They openly despise Tedros but they still care about Agatha and help her try to kiss Tedros in book 2. They like her in the first book because she dresses and looks like a witch, and this liking continues throughout the series. In their opinion, they think Sophie is less tolerable than Agatha. At the end of Book 3, however, Hester admits that being Class Captain would mean nothing without Sophie, because she was the Greatest Witch of Them All.
