Official Description

 * Queen Chrystal is fears that her stepdaughter Snow White's beauty will surpass her own, and so therefore she does anything to make the princess miserable. When the Magic Mirror informs to Queen Chrystal that Snow White has finally become the fairest in the land, the evil stepmother orders her Huntsman named Samson to kill the girl. Learning that he had not been able to fulfill her order, Queen Chrystal herself decided that she would get rid of Snow White with her own hands. The Evil Queen manages to poison Snow White with an apple, after which the girl falls asleep in the Sleeping Curse. But in the end, Queen Chrystal's intrigues turn against her, and the evil curse has finally destroyed by the True Love's Kiss.

Personality
From the outside, Queen Chrystal appears to be calm, regal, and sophisticated, but in reality, this collected and stately facade hides an extremely sadistic, hateful, cold and sinister person. She is ruthless, jealous and obsessive and wants nothing more than to be the fairest in the land. She also has an extreme vanity that made her utterly intolerant of rivals. Being solely focused on the idea of becoming the fairest of all, Queen Chrystal does not appear to be significantly involved in governing her husband's kingdom, though the skeletal remains of prisoners in her dungeon point to her being a villainous ruler. In the end, her mad vanity and jealousy of her stepdaughter Snow White's superior beauty and Prince Richard's affections eventually drove her to murderous insanity. She transformed herself into a hideous hag and conjured a poison named the "Sleeping Curse" to achieve this end as a sign of her determination and desperation.

Witch Chrystal, being an alternate form of Queen Chrystal, has some of her personality traits, most notably her vanity and unstable jealousy of Snow White, kept intact. However, due in part to the transformation, she has also become more outwardly maniacal and sadistic, constantly cackling insanely. Despite her insanity, she was also extremely intelligent and calculating, wanting to ensure that she does not overlook anything in order to make her plans an absolute success. This trait was especially evident in her stopping herself while gloating about how the poisoned apple will ensure Snow White's eventual demise in order to look up whether there was a cure for the effects of the poisoned apple that would be able to cause her plans to fail.

According by Milarka, Queen Chrystal is not evil as she though, for she is possessed by her grandmother's demon, the Evil Spirit. Also, before she is possessed, Queen Chrystal appears to be kind and gentle. When the evil has gone from her body, Queen Chrystal is back to be kind and good-hearted. She apologies Snow White for her cruelly ways to the princess, and she began to genuinely care for Snow White as if she were her own daughter after the spirit's defeat.
