In WandaVision, Agatha is initially presented as a friendly yet snoopy neighbor of Wanda in the town of Westview, who eventually reveals the truth behind her reality and introduces the true self of being a formidable witch who plotted against Wanda. In the comic books, Agatha has been a mentor to many characters. This upcoming spinoff will revolve around her story and connection with Scarlet Witch aka Wanda Maximoff as she taught her different magical arts and helped master her powers.

Initially, Wanda knew Agatha as Agnes (her false identity), and trusted her as a best friend. Faking to be one of her allies, the witch gets the opportunity to plot against Scarlet Witch and hide her true self. However, soon Wanda discovered that Hahn’s character was part of a coven in Salem, Massachusets, during the era of the Salem Witch Trials. The witch even killed her mother and committed numerous murders before flying away. Having studied magic for centuries, Agatha Harkness is an extremely skilled sorceress.
