The Scullery Maid is a minor character of the 1963 Disney animated film, The Sword in the Stone. She is Sir Ector’s housekeeper.
Role in the film and physical appearance[]
The Scullery Maid is first seen when she sees the dishes fly through the air and panics. She warns Sir Ector and Kay who were busy training for the tournament. While Kay and Ector tried unsuccessfully to fight off the enchanted dishes, she was of no help at all. When Wart and Merlin arrive in the bewitched kitchen, Ector confronts Merlin and the Scullery maid threatens Merlin, who disappears. She is still amazed to see him disappear. But when Wart defiantly defends Merlin, Ector piles more demerits on the boy and punishes him by replacing him with his groom boy Hobbs for Kay's squire and forbidding Wart from going to London.
At Christmas, she announces with more panic that Hobbs came down with the mumps and Ector decided to replace him with Wart. Afterward, she's not seen again for the rest of the film. She wears an low lilac apron, a fuchsia dress underneath, a hat matching her apron; she has short blonde hair and black eyes.
