From [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]], she learns of [[Tumnus]]' involvement and has him arrested, eventually turning him stone. When [[Edmund Pevensie|Edmund]] returns to the Witch with the news that "[[Aslan]] is on the move," she immediately sledges down to the Stone Table, hoping to cut off the other three Pevensies.

Jadis' cruelty and selfishness are shown in the deathly cold winter that she forces upon Narnia. She rules the land by fear, using spies and secret police to enforce her will. She has no regard for the lives of others, as demonstrated by her use of Deplorable Word in Charn while battling her sister for the throne. Jadis is also quite physically strong, as she keeps her seat upon a rearing Strawberry in London and wrenches a lamppost from its setting. As a witch, Jadis possesses <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">the ability </ins>to make things appear differently than they are<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">, </ins>and <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">uses </ins>enchantments that work on the victim's weaknesses. Lewis describes her (and witches in general) as terribly practical, saying, "They are not interested in things or people unless they can use them."</div></td></tr>
