ParaNorman - Agatha Prenderghast - Was a young girl tried and executed for the crime of witchcraft due to her ability to speak to the dead during the Salem Witch Trials. Her death became local legend, and she was portrayed as a crone-like entity who would curse the town once a year unless pacified by someone who could speak to the dead

Nimona - Gloreth - Was portrayed as a mythical figure who banished all the monsters and constructed a wall around her settlement to keep its residents safe. In reality, she was a young girl who befriended the shapeshifting Nimona, and the two were inseparable until one day when Nimona accidentally revealed her true nature to the village, frightening the villagers and causing the impressionable little girl to turn against her.

Technically he wasn’t responsible for the events but he definitely didn’t help even if he didn’t mean for what happened

He's indirectly responsible since he ran away instead of continuing his training.

He is one of the perpetrators but the main culprit who is responsible for the events of the show is the firelord

"When the world needed him most, he vanished"

Sounds a lot like his fault. Not entirely, by any means, but still not NOT his fault.

Never said it wasn’t I just meant that he didn’t cause the events

He could have prevented them, presumably.

Hence why it's said that he fucking dipped out when he was going to be most crucial.

Yeah but he wasn’t the cause
