| “ | Once upon a time, long ago, there was a little girl who was different from the other people in her village. She could see and do things that no one could understand! And that made them scared of her! She turned away from everyone and became sad and lonely, and had no one to turn to! The more she turned away from people, the more scared they were of her. And they did something terrible! They became so scared that they took her away and they killed her! And even though she was dead, something in her came back! And this part of her, wouldn't go away even after 300 years! And the longer it stayed, the less there was of the little girl! | „ |

She was voiced by Jodelle Ferland.
Her Evil Ranking[]
What Makes Her Heinous?[]
- Killing her accusers in a supposedly painful and agonizing way, cursing them into turning into zombies with them being conscious of this fact for 300 years.
- Sent the zombies onto the town, making the city panic by trying to kill the zombies, only adding more to Judge Hopkins and the witnesses' suffering.
- Once Norman convinced the city that the zombies were tragic, she tried to destroy the town herself, attempting kill hundreds of people in the process.
- Once Norman reached to her hanging place, she tried to stop him trying to make with her by hurting him until he collapsed.
What Makes Her Inconsistent?[]
- Her backstory is very tragic. She grew up with similar powers to Norman that caused the other townsfolk to accuse her of witchcraft. Once in trial, Judge Hopkins, scared by the fact that her powers could hurt the people of the town, immediately sent her to be hanged, even if she was just a little girl. Only then did she decide to curse them, and the zombies admit that they might've deserved to be cursed.
- She obviously loves her mother for being one of the only people that didn't see her as dangerous. Furthermore, it is shown the reason that soothing her to sleep with a storybook worked for so long, is because her mother always told her stories with happy endings.
- She seems to be amoral as it's stated that her ghost is the incarnation of the hatred that she felt by her unjust hanging, making her unable to act rationally. This is further evidenced by how when Norman asks why Agatha wants to make him suffer, she is unable to come up with a response, being blind with rage until Norman pulls her to her senses.
- Once Norman convinces her that she needs to let go of her hatred, she does stop by her own volition and apologizes for all the bad stuff she did, and finally moves on to be with her mother.
Trivia[]
- So far, she's the only Laika villain to be Inconsistently Heinous.
- Megatronus Prime from the webcomic What If Megatronus Prime Survived has similarities to Aggie, but unlike her, Megatronus allowed his own inner darkness to consume him, causing him to rebrand himself as The Fallen.
