Trivia[]
- It is unknown why Mina was wrongfully accused of witchcraft and sentenced to be burned at the stake by Berrigner. Although it's possible that the sheriff originally lusted for her and attempted to force her into being his mistress in wanting to rape her, but Mina rejected his advances and refused to be his property, which enraged Berringer and had her falsely accused of being a witch in retaliation from being rejected by taking advantage of the townsfolk's gullibility with the help of his lieutenants, knowing that she wasn't really a witch, yet not knowing that she was secretly a white witch before Hansel and Gretel arrived in Augsburg and forced Berringer to release her because she did not possess any telltale showings of being a witch, especially those they were familiar with in hunting.
- Mina seemed to be attracted to Hansel for his kind and protective nature other than him being handsome. Plus, his descending from the Grand White Witch Adrianna likely meant any offspring of theirs would be more powerful; hence why she made love with him.
