“	I put my heart, my soul into every spell I weave. And even though spells usually fade away after use, I always hoped you would be different— the most complex spell I've ever woven, and the first of my creations to ever come back to me!	„
	~ Gandalaria to Bonzle in Fugitives From Madness

Gandalaria is a supporting character in LEGO Ninjago: Dragons Rising. She is the high sorceress of Mysterium who created Bonzle to aid Egalt and Rontu in banishing the Forbidden Five a millennia ago prior to the Merge.

She is voiced by Tabitha St. Germain, who also voiced Tox in the same series and Princess Luna and Rarity in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and My Little Pony: Equestria Girls.

History

Background

Gandalaria rose to become the high sorceress of her homeland. She often engaged in minor disputes with her neighbor Janet, another sorceress, and occasionally journeyed across different realms. One day, the Dragon Masters sought Gandalaria's assistance, seeking a spell to exile the Forbidden Five to the Nether-Space. Devoting day and night to its creation, Gandalaria finally completed the spell. Centuries later, following the Merge, Gandalaria relocated to the Monastery of Mysterium.

Season 2

Sprite alerted Gandalaria to the arrival of the ninja and Bonzle. Upon seeing them, Gandalaria mistakenly identified the three as the Slug Merchants. Feeling relieved, she declared that their arrival would bring about a significant change. Gandalaria then proceeded to explain that she required 20 striped slugs, five red betties, two extra slimly slugs, and some slugs with wings. However, Cole and Zane clarified that they were not the Slug Merchants Gandalaria had been eagerly anticipating for weeks, much to her disappointment. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she asked the three if she could transform them into slugs. However, as Gandalaria noticed Bonzle, she immediately recognized her as the same spell that banished the Forbidden Five and warmly embraced her.

Cole conveyed to Gandalaria the importance of protecting Bonzle from Ras. Initially, Gandalaria was perplexed by the unfamiliar names, Bonzle and Ras. However, Bonzle clarified that she had chosen the name for herself. Gandalaria found the name "Bonzle" to be quite delightful. Zane proceeded to explain that Ras had intentions of using Bonzle as a means to unleash the Forbidden Five. Concerned, Gandalaria reassured them that there was no need to worry, as the Ritual of the Blood Moon was necessary to accomplish the feat, and no one possessed the knowledge of how to perform it. Unfortunately, Cole and Zane revealed that Ras had managed to uncover the intricate details of the ritual during his time at the Cloud Kingdom archives. They emphasized that it was only a matter of time before the Blood Moon would reappear, signaling the potential release of the Forbidden Five. Understanding the gravity of the situation, Gandalaria elucidated that if the Forbidden Five were to be set free, their reign would result in the annihilation of all realms. She emphasized the urgency of preventing their liberation.

Gandalaria clarified that she currently lacks the necessary equipment to protect Bonzle, but she still possessed a few items stored in a magical storagehouse in the Wyldness. Cole and Zane proposed traveling to the storehouse on Jiro, a dragon, which delighted Gandalaria. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Gandalaria hoped it was the Slug Merchants, but it turned out to be the Administration Agents who had come for Zane. Observing this, Gandalaria remarked that the agents wouldn't make good slugs. After the Blood Moon appeared, Zane managed to delay the Administration Agents by exploiting their own rules. Gandalaria scolded Zane for attracting the agents to her, as they wouldn't approve of her magical possessions, which she had to discard from Hatty. Gandalaria insisted on using an escape spell, but it would require two to three days. She instructed Bonzle to seek refuge in the passages beneath the Monastery while Sprite guided her. In the meantime, Gandalaria would deal with the agents using her crystal ball. Suddenly, the Administration Agents stormed into the monastery. Gandalaria, wielding her crystal ball, electrocuted the Agents during the intense battle.

Gandalaria, Cole, and Zane remain trapped in the magical storagehouse inside a force field set by Jordana. After being freed due to Zane disabling the force field, they search for a way to exit the storagehouse. However, one was revealed to be an aggressive Fang Mouth, another one had the darkness of the tunnel made solid, and Gandalaria opened a door that led to a series of progressively smaller doors, until it reached a small one that opened to reveal Lava-Tides dancing around a party toaster, which she found to be amusing. They eventually resolved to find a potion to open the door. She tries to find the correct potion in a box full of items but finds useless ones that have adverse effects on Cole and Zane. Eventually, she finds the right potion that can instantly open any lock, but slips, with the potion shattering on a sarcophagus opening to reveal a Geckle mummy. Luckily, Zane and Cole find a way to open the door by utilizing Zane's changing size, an effect lasting from one of the potions Gandalaria threw at them. After escaping with them and spotting the off-balanced Cloud Kingdom, Gandalaria used Hatty to fly upwards to it.
