Character Plot
Fearful of a prophecy that a girl would be born who would bring about her downfall, the evil Queen Bavmorda imprisoned all pregnant women in the realm. Elora was born in prison and identified as the prophesied one by a birthmark on her arm. Queen Bavmorda wanted to kill her at birth, but her mother convinced a nursemaid to smuggle the infant out. Both mother and nursemaid died to keep her safe.
After the nursemaid's death, Elora was found by a young Nelwyn farmer named Willow Ufgood (Warwick Davis), who initially wanted nothing to do with her but later embraced his role as her protector and attempts to take her to Tir Asleen. The queen's efforts to destroy Elora Danan, preventing the prophecy, led to Queen Bavmorda's fall. Afterward, Willow leaves the baby in caring arms of Madmartigan and Sorsha, the new queen.
