Endora is the witch mother of Samantha Stephens and is the wife of Maurice.

Endora disapproved of her daughter's decision to marry a mortal, and she sometimes casts spells on Darrin for her own amusement. She refuses to even use Darrin's name, purposely calling him "Durwood," "What's-his-name," "Darwin," "Dum-Dum," etc.., all much to his annoyance. She refers to him as "Darrin" only eight times during the entire series.

Despite her disapproval, Endora loves Samantha and her grandchildren, Tabitha and Adam more than anything. Endora is the most frequent houseguest and one of the most loyal members of Samantha's family.
