Appearance
Queen Dagmar is a beautiful woman with voluminous white hair and big round eyes. She wears an elegant royal blue dress with a turquoise sleeveless top and a revealing crimson corset. She wears a necklace with a large gemstone.
Behaviour

Trivia
- She is the second female villain in the show, after Gretel.
- She is the unexpected villain, which is revealed at the end of season one. However, she makes a point about the terms hero and villain being relative (in the same way as Big Jo does in S01E08) so her true agenda is yet to be fully revealed.
- She is the daughter of unspecified nobles before she married Zög.
- She was everything Bean wanted to be.
- She likes the smell of wet grass.
- Her favorite food is beer.
- She has innate magical powers which developed when she reached maturity. She appears to have passed these on to Bean. (see quotes)
- As she is affiliated with the Maruvians, this suggests that she might be more than human.
Plot Spoilers
She was turned to stone after ingesting poison meant for Zøg. Zøg then spent the next fifteen years trying to free her from her stone prison. She is then freed by her daughter Bean who used a drop of elf blood from an elf named Watcho, which had spilled on her cloth. Bean dripped the blood into the Eternity Pendant and placed the pendant around Dagmar's neck freeing her from the spell.
