After many long years, she returned to take over all of the Kingdoms in the Land of Stories. During that time, she was also responsible for putting the Sleeping Curse on Sleeping Beauty's kingdom. Long before the events that take place in the books, Ezmia was cursed by Morina (the same curse which would also affect Alex, albeit in large quantities, later on), and eventually turned evil, and tried to take over all the kingdoms in the Land of Stories. She is the main antagonist in The Enchantress Returns.


She showed bravery in this situation when she "kicked the troblin in the rump" (Line ). She also showed her bravery when she was captured by Trollbella (half troll, half goblin) in the Land of Stories. So, she pried information from their 'hostage holder' and showed incredible bravery when she ran away from home and "hijacked Mother Goose's giant goose" ( ), which she used to fly to her grandmother's cottage. We first saw that Alex was rather frustrated when her grandmother kept them hostage from going after their mom, who had been kidnapped. When Alex first appeared in the story, I thought, "Really, what can a child do in a crisis? " It turns out that children can really make a difference upon further reading. Initially, I saw Alex as very foolish and immature to run away from home, but my understanding grew when I realized that from Alex's perspective, family is the most important of all. I admired Alex for her bravery and intelligence which she showed when she was trying o save her mother and the Fairy-Tale World. The Enchantress, the witch who tried to kill Sleeping Beauty, attempted to take over The Land of Stories and the Otherworld (the land where the common people live).

Brave Chris Colfer's novel The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns tells the story of two 12-year-old twins, Alex and Connor Bailey, who went on an adventure to save their mother, and perhaps the world, against the will of their grandmother.
