History:
(Care Bears#18/1 (fb) - BTS) - The Sand Witch was put in charge of the catering for the 9,427th Witches' Convention. Unsure how to find enough to feed the 635 registered witches, she took to stealing wrapped sandwiches from beach-goers near where she lived.
(Care Bears#18/1) - The Sand Witch went on another
sandwich-stealing spree, stealing a picnic basket from children and
leaving a sandstorm wake.
(Care Bears#18/1) - After collecting some beach-side
deli sandwiches, three Care Bears (Bedtime Bear, Friend Bear,
Tenderheart Bear) heard the upset young beach-goers, who relayed what
had happened. The three concerned Care Bears set a trap, placing a few
sandwiches atop a sand dune. Soon, the greedy Sand Witch swooped in on her
broomstick and grabbed the bait. The Care Bears unleashed a Care-Bear
Stare to remove her negativity, but she summoned a sand wall; when it
combined with the Care-Bear Stare, the sand wall turned into a giant
glass pane and she escaped. The Care Bears pursued her and found her
sand castle island; they evaded her fanged flying fish and shark guards
and confronted her. She tried to trap them inside sand walls but it
backfired with a well-timed Care-Bear Stare encasing her inside a glass
pyramid instead. She confessed why she was stealing sandwiches food and
that her magic was limited to sand, not summoning food. Realizing all
she needed was help putting food together, the Care Bears banded
together and soon a big sandwich picnic feast was underway for the
Witches' Convention. Overjoyed, the Sand Witch invited the Care Bears
to stay for the festivities.
