History Characters / ChillingAdventuresOfSabrinaTheSpellmanFamily

* AmbiguouslyRelated: Is Sabrina's cousin. How is never really explained, especially since neither of her aunts is his mother.

!!!'''Played By''': Chance Perdomo

!!!'''Voiced by:''' Luke Cook (season 4 episode 7)

!!!'''Played by:''' Georgie Daburas

!!!'''Played by:''' Annette Reilly

** Harrowing occurs at the Academy. However, when Zelda later becomes headmistress, we never hear of it again, ''indicating she put a stop to it as a tradition.''

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:After marrying Father Blackwood, she's brainwashed using a spell to become a perfect HouseWife, Stepford Wives style, and follows his orders without question, even harming Sabrina's plans. She's healed when Sabrina destroys her picture within a music box.]]

* ChildEater: In Batibat's nightmare, she cooks a fat kid to serve to the Dark Lord and is heartbroken when he sounds it for Hilda's vegetable pie.

** Later averted when Hilda reveals that Vinegar Tom ''has been dead since 1989.''

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Ambrose is shown in his study reading a beefcake magazine from the 50s and untying his pajama pants ready for some alone time when he's called up by the Spellman sisters.

** Ironically, [[spoiler: the one time she ''does'' think about the plan and puts Pride aside - as Hilda says Sabrina "knew" what she had to do - it gets her killed ''permanently''.]]

** Later averted when Ambrose reveals that Vinegar Tom ''has been dead since 1991.''

* CovertPervert: She's introduced as a ''centuries-old virgin'' who enjoys saucy romance novels but becomes horrendously awkward at the very mention of s-e-x in real life. And then it turns out that her work crush is [[HornyDevil possessed by an incubus]] and if this relationship is going anywhere, she's going to have to ''chain him down'' every time they get intimate. In later episodes, it's abundantly clear that they're both 110% okay with this.

* ShesGotLegs: She sure does have very nice legs and tends to wear outfits (including dresses and skirts with or without leggings) that show them off.

* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: A young teenage half-witch who is more powerful than most of people of her Coven. Can be considered as one of the most powerful characters of the show too.

->''"We are the Spellmans. That means we stand tall and do what is right"''

The older of Sabrina's aunts, a devout follower of the Church of Night.

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Zelda (like her sister Hilda) was [[WickedWitch evil]]. In this adaptation, she is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold.
* BigSisterBully: She constantly bullies and abuses Hilda, and has apparently done so since they were children.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:After marrying Father Blackwood, she's brainwashed using a spell to become a perfect HouseWife, Stepford Wives style, and follows his orders without question, even harming Sabrina's plans. She's healed when Sabrina destroys her picture within a music box.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: As a devout follower of the Church of Night, Zelda's ideas about morality are... somewhat unconventional, to say the least.
* CainAndAbel: The Cain to Hilda's Abel, but played with. Unlike most examples, Zelda does go on to kill her sister often because she is easily resurrected and cares deeply for Hilda. In a nightmare where it seems Hilda genuinely died due to Zelda's actions, her reaction is to break down sobbing.
* CasualKink: Out of the blue, Father Blackwood suggests that he and Zelda should flog each other as penance. She is ''into it''.
* CharacterDevelopment: Initially seems like a stereotypical WickedWitch, as the first few episodes emphasize her cruelty to her sister and fanatical devotion to the Church of Night, but as the season progresses she shows more of a softer side and does several things that are frowned upon or even expressly forbidden by the Church, such as participating in the exorcism of Jesse Putnam, to protect Sabrina.
** In the back half of Season 1, she's much nicer to Hilda, fights against Father Blackwood's plans to rebuild the Church of Night using his own misogynistic tenets, and even [[spoiler:helps fight the Dark Lord himself in the season finale to stop him from making Sabrina his queen and unleashing the apocalypse.]]
* ChekhovsSkill: During the Trial, it is brought up that both Hilda and Zelda are certified midwives. This comes up again when Lord Blackwood requests Zelda to deliver his and Lady Blackwood's child.
* ChildEater: In Batibat's nightmare, she cooks a fat kid to serve to the Dark Lord and is heartbroken when he sounds it for Hilda's vegetable pie.
* DeadpanSnarker: All the time, but it's especially cutting when she's annoyed or hiding something.
* DogsAreDumb: Her basset hound familiar, Vinegar Tom, is implied to be fairly dim and subservient.
** Later averted when Ambrose reveals that Vinegar Tom ''has been dead since 1991.''
* DoNotCallMePaul: As of Part 3, you do ''not'' want to call her [[spoiler:"Lady Blackwood".]]
* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Zelda is definitely not fond of mortals, but leaving all of the mortals in Greendale to die is too much even for her. She's the first to proclaim they will stay behind to protect them. Also, harrowing someone ''to death'' - which, given that Hilda is still alive, she never did - is something she will ''not'' stand for.
** Also, when Mr Kinkle tries to ''punch'' Harvey, she uses magic to stop it. Abuse is something which Zelda Spellman will not put up with!
** [[spoiler: Despite being a devout Satanist, when Zelda learns that Satan is planning to make Sabrina his bride and unleash Hell on Earth, she's horrified and disgusted, and is the first to agree he needs to be stopped.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Madam Satan. Both women are devoted followers of the Dark Lord, elegant [[LadyOfBlackMagic Ladies of Black Magic]], and mentors to Sabrina. However, Madam Satan adopts a friendly and helpful facade while secretly corrupting Sabrina for her own ends. Zelda, on the other hand, comes across as brusque and uncaring, but honestly cares about Sabrina's welfare and, when push comes to shove, will defy the Church of Night to keep her family safe.
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: She sees herself as the responsible sibling to Hilda's foolish.
* TheFundamentalist: She is incredibly devoted to the Church of Night and the traditions, but even then she seems to not be fully on board with completely everything, hating the idea of Sabrina being sacrificed during the Feast of Feasts and disliking Father Blackwood's clear misogyny.
* GoodStepmother: She is becoming this to Prudence in part 2.
* IAmAHumanitarian: She makes numerous references to enjoying human flesh.
* InSeriesNickname: Sabrina and Ambrose both call her "Aunt(ie) Zee."
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Zelda is mean to no end a lot of times, but she does have a heart and dearly loves her family, and is always willing to help them in the many issues that their family faces through the show.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: She's by far the most elegant and sophisticated of all the witches in her coven, and only matched by Lord Blackwood in this regard. And also a competent witch on her own.
* LikeADaughterToMe: Sabrina might be Zelda's niece, but Zelda loves her as fiercely as if she were her own child. This is especially clear in "The Returned" when Sabrina telling her YoureNotMyMother cuts Zelda to her core, and she self-flagellates to cope with the emotional pain of Sabrina's words.
** She still feels this way towards Sabrina even after finding out that [[spoiler:Sabrina is actually the daughter of the Dark Lord himself as well as Edward in an "unholy trifecta".]]
* MamaBear: She may be a BigSisterBully to Hilda and fiercely devout member of the [[BlueAndOrangeMorality morally questionable]] [[DarkIsEvil Church of Night]], but she is ''fiercely'' devoted to Sabrina. Lampshaded by Father Blackwood, when he notes that he'd forgotten how "maternal" Zelda can be. She's also shown to be this towards Blackwood's infant daughter after abducting her for her own safety.
* MarriageOfConvenience: She agrees to marry [[spoiler: Lord Blackwood]] to further her ambition and increase her power within the coven. Zelda outright laughs in Hilda's face when she suggests their marriage might be for love.
* MindRape: [[spoiler:She's briefly a victim of it after marrying Father Blackwood, but she gets better thanks to Hilda and Sabrina.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: In Batibat's nightmare, she's fooled into thinking she's killed Hilda for good, and all she can do is sob and wail that she treated her like hell-rot. While this prompts no significant change in behavior, Zelda is slightly less overbearing toward Hilda.

* PetTheDog: In the fourth episode, after Hilda tells the ghosts of the children who were harrowed to death that she was harrowed by her own sister, Zelda sincerely apologizes for pushing her harrowing too far.
* PrettyInMink: She usually wears a fox shawl on her shoulder.
* RegalRinglets: Zelda wore this hairstyle when she was a student at the Academy.
* RankUp: [[spoiler: After Lilith takes over Hell and Blackwood's utter betrayal of the coven, she appoints herself as High Priestess.]]
* SiblingYinYang: Far more uptight and serious than her younger sister, and incredibly devoted to the Church of Night.
* SmokingIsGlamorous: She is rarely seen without a cigarette in her trademark holder. Even after she's [[spoiler: shot in the abdomen, Zelda takes the time for a final puff of her cigarette before passing out.]]
* WouldHurtAChild: While an indisputable MamaBear when it comes to family, Zelda (in her nightmare) easily kills a child and cooks him as an offering for the Dark Lord.

->''"My name is Sabrina Spellman, and I will NOT sign it away!"''

A half-mortal, half-witch teenager on the eve of her 16th birthday who has trouble choosing between both worlds.
----
* AdaptationalHeroism: She is much more selfless and heroic compared to how her comic book counterpart is in the ''Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'' comic via the fact that she only uses her magic mostly to help or protect people (or at least [[PayEvilUntoEvil get revenge]] for them).
* AdaptationalDyeJob: Zigzagged. Her hair color is a more natural blonde, which is consistent with some of the previous adaptations. However, after signing her name in the Book of the Beast at the end of the season one finale, it turns a more platinum blonde, which is more consistent with the comics.
* AlliterativeName: Her name and surname both begin with "S".
* AllLovingHero: In "Feast of Feasts", she makes every effort to convince Prudence not to be sacrificed, explaining that she finds all life precious, even the life of someone who harrowed her and tried to kill her.
* AntiAntichrist: [[spoiler:She was born from Satan and was destined to create perversions of Jesus' miracles. Though she did them with the best of intentions, like healing or saving her friends, she still ends up causing the apocalypse by following through with it. She however actively rebels against her father and heritage and tries to defeat him, even siding with Lilith to trap him back in Hell.]]
* ApocalypseMaiden: [[spoiler: Sabrina was sired by Satan and born to be TheAntiChrist, intended to carry out perverse inversions of Jesus' miracles in order to allow Satan to retake his true form on Earth and unlock the Gates of Hell.]]
* BadassAdorable: She is a very sweet and cute teenager who is a powerful and skilled half-witch.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Sabrina is one of the nicest people in town, but crossing her is a serious mistake. The Weird Sisters learn this the hard way when they try to harrow her for the third time (despite her repeated attempts to convince them to stop).
* BullyHunter: It doesn't matter if they're mortal JerkJock bullies at Baxter High or the AlphaBitch and her GirlPosse at the [[WizardingSchool Academy of Unseen Arts]], Sabrina will use her magic to bring them down.
* TheChosenOne: It is mentioned repeatedly that The Dark Lord believes Sabrina will become one of the greatest witches in history. This seems to be one of the main reasons why he's so determined to make her sign the Book of the Beast. One of the first signs that he could be right is when Sabrina becomes the ''fourth'' witch in history able to summon Hellfire.
* DarkMessiah: [[spoiler:The Dark Lord's plan for her. She is supposed to become his prophet on Earth when the gates of hell open. Season 2 turns her into a full blown messianic archetype as she goes own to realize miracles of multiple sort including resurrecting the dead and healing wounds that seem fatal. At one point she even wears a crown of thorns in a church.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: Sabrina has a tendency to not take into account the ramifications of her actions, or consider the possible unintended consequences of her plans, leading to them blowing up in her face.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Throughout the first season, Sabrina refused to sign her name in the [[{{Satan}} Dark Lord's]] book during the full witch ceremony and openly defies the evil god, refusing to give up her soul. Subverted in the end, when Madam Satan manipulates Sabrina into signing the book.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Sabrina learns this the ''hard way'' in Season 1.
* EveryOneCanSeeIt: After Harvey and Sabrina break up it is obvious to the rest of the cast that they still love each other and would always be there for one another, multiple times Nick and Roz keep asking if they still love each other, and despite denying it it's obvious that they still do and still want to be together but both are afraid of hurting the other again.
* ExtraordinarilyEmpoweredGirl: A young teenage half-witch who is more powerful than most of people of her Coven. Can be considered as one of the most powerful characters of the show too.
* FatalFlaw: Pride. Sabrina is overconfident regarding her own capabilities and plans and tends to regard herself as being exempt from rules, often seeking out [[LoopholeAbuse magical ways to have her cake and eat it too]] that inevitably end up just making things worse. This leads to one of the main conflicts of Part 1 and causes her and her loved ones a lot of trouble, [[spoiler:but by the end of Part 3 she still doesn't appear to have learned her lesson.]]
-->'''Ambrose:''' Why must you always insist that the universe grant you special privileges?
** Ironically, [[spoiler: the one time she ''does'' think about the plan and puts Pride aside - as Hilda says Sabrina "knew" what she had to do - it gets her killed ''permanently''.]]
* GenerationXerox: Zig-zagged. Initially, it's established that Sabrina admires both her deceased parents, but is particularly interested in following in Edward's footsteps by studying conjuration and helping to bring the witch and mortal worlds together, as he did by marrying her mother. Then it's revealed that [[spoiler:Lucifer, not Edward, is actually Sabrina's birth father, and she [[ArchnemesisDad hates everything he stands for]] - but has also clearly inherited his arrogance, exceptionalism, and rebelliousness, and ends up following in ''his'' footsteps by becoming ruler of Hell]].
* GoodIsNotSoft: She's generally a nice person, but do ''not'' hurt her friends, family, or an innocent. [[spoiler:Jimmy Platt found that out the hard way when Sabrina dragged him to Hell with a smile and told Lilith to get creative with his torture after she learns he sacrificed children to Lucifer for more time on Earth.]]
* HalfHumanHybrid: As always, she is a half-witch and half-mortal. [[spoiler:Season Two hammers this home as ''Satan himself'' turns out to have been possessing Edward when she was conceived, making her not only half-mortal and half-witch, but [[{{Nephilim}} half-angel]].]]
* {{Hellfire}}: Upon signing the book, Sabrina becomes the fourth witch in recorded history to be able to summon hellfire at will.
* TheHeroDies: [[spoiler: In order to save everyone that she accidentally encaged in the Void, Sabrina performs an HeroicSacrifice]] and lets herself cut open on the chest in order to [[spoiler: get everyone out and trap the Void in Pandora's box]]. Unfortunately, [[spoiler: she dies from losing too much blood]].
* ImportantHaircut: During the season one finale after signing her name on the book and using the powers given to her by the Dark Lord for the first time, Sabrina's hair color changes from blonde to an almost white platinum blonde, which mirrors her comic book counterpart.
* InelegantBlubbering: [[spoiler: After Harvey is forced to put down his CameBackWrong brother after revealing to him that she's a witch, and is the one who brought Tommy back in the first place -- and then breaking up with her as a result.]]
* NoImmortalInertia: When Sabrina's summoned to the Court of Witches, Zelda and Hilda lose their powers and start aging decades in a day. They get their magic and youth instantly restored when Sabrina wins her trial.
* NiceGirl: She has her flaws, but is generally a very kind and compassionate person.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: The entire failed resurrection plot comes from Sabrina's resolve to help Harvey no matter what, as well as a general desire to have everything she wants without having to make a difficult decision. Believing she could cheat death itself by relying on ExactWords of a spell book's instructions, she tried to bring Tommy back without permanently sacrificing another's life, but Tommy CameBackWrong and Agatha became deathly ill due to the earth being owed a soul. She gets [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech viciously called out on it]] and it doesn't end well for her.
* NightmareFetishist: She loves horror movies, the bloodier the better.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Sabrina uses her magic a lot this way in this series, often dealing with antagonists in rather nightmarish ways, but damn if they don't ''deserve'' it.
* PreMortemOneLiner: She gives one to the Greendale Thirteen when they confront each other in the season one finale. She threatens to summon hellfire to burn them, which they claim that only three witches in history have been able to summon. Sabrina quickly shuts them up saying she ''will'' summon hellfire and quickly does so with an incantation, ending their threat.
-->'''Greendale Thirteen:''' ''[...]'' In the history of witches, only three...\\
'''Sabrina:''' Well, it's about to be four!
* {{Pride}}: A lot of Sabrina's mistakes stem from the belief that she is clever and smart enough to always find a [[TakeAThirdOption third or alternative solution]] that allows her to [[KarmaHoudini avoid any negative consequences from her actions]].
* RedIsHeroic: Our heroine's favoured colour.
* ProperTightsWithASkirt: To the point where this becomes her SignatureStyle of clothing.
* ShesGotLegs: She sure does have very nice legs and tends to wear outfits (including dresses and skirts with or without leggings) that show them off.
* SoleSurvivor: She was the only one who survived the plane crash that killed her Parents.
* TookALevelInBadass: After signing her name in the Book of Satan, her powers increased dramatically.
** Later on, to keep stability in Hell Sabrina [[spoiler:accepts the Throne of Hell and becomes its Queen, appointing Lilith as her regent and advisor.]]
* ThouShaltNotKill: While she's not above threatening people with death, she believes that life is precious and refrains from killing. Even when she needs to sacrifice someone for a ritual, she does so intending to bring them back to life once the ritual is done.
* TogetherInDeath: At the end of "At the Mountains of Madness", [[spoiler:Sabrina sacrifices herself to imprison the Void and the other eldritch terrors once-and-for-all. Nick Scratch drowns himself sometime after her death, and the two are reunited in what appears to be Heaven]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: By introducing Harvey and Prudence, Sabrina started the chain of events that caused the death of Tommy Kinkle and four other miners, the murder of Agatha, Harvey finding out about her powers and breaking up with her as well as having to put down Zombie!Tommy, and the soul of Tommy being consumed in Limbo.
* WhatsUpKingDude: Not being a devout member of the Church of Night, she shows less than no genuine deference to [[spoiler: Satan]]. The topper is her calling him [[spoiler: "Dad"]] to his face, which causes some stir among the assembled crowd.
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: [[spoiler:Once Sabrina becomes the Void]] she also got the destructive powers to [[spoiler:turn everything into nothing]]. She has no choice but to departure for the Mountains of Madness.
* WrongContextMagic: [[spoiler: After defeating a pair of Angels and doing her Messiah impression, Sabrina gains the ability to do things that simply aren't possible with Witch magic, like controlling the weather purely by willing it do so and immediately transporting objects over great distances. Hilda lampshades this by telling her that magic without words, reagents, or some form of sacrifice just shouldn't be possible.]]

* FakeAmerican: She is played by an Australian.

* HumanMomNonHumanDad: Her father Edward was a powerful warlock and High Priest of the Church of Night; her mother Diana was a mortal woman.
