There's a slight correction, Satella and the Witch of Envy are physically the same person but are seperate personalities inhabiting the body.

Satella was not always the Witch of Envy, she became that once she took incompatible witch factors 400 years ago. The resulting incompatiblity is what birthed her secondary personality, The Witch of Envy. Satella herself was not known to be evil, she became an issue upon taking the witch factors that resulted in her Witch of Envy persona consuming half the world in her shadow/misasma.

The story goes, The Witch of Envy was too powerful to be killed so she was sealed away. I can only speculate on the sealing process but there's a good chance this means only the witch factors were sealed, leaving behind the original vessel with little to no memory (Satella's "rebranded" Emilia as a result.)

Emilia was introduced as a "silver haired, half-elf" from the start of the series, to my knowledge it hasn't been established what that other half is... I like to joke that she's half spirit, half elf because of Puck's insistent Dad jokes but we know thats not the case, just a bad dad joke....


 * SPOILER ALERT** Here's what we know so far. ***SPOILER ALERT****

Daphne | Witch of Gluttony (White Whale, Great Rabbit, Black Serpent, - Batenkaitos)

Echidna  | Witch of Greed (Petelgeuse, Beatrice, Puck, - Regulus)

Echidna is the only witch who was actually born a witch, every other was created by means of the witch factor. This was interesting, it added weight to the idea that Echidna is the progenitor of all witch factors and by consuming her fluids your compatibility is tested, perhaps. In Satella's case, she was not compatible and the resulting catastrophe was the Witch of Envy.

At this point in time, I have a lot of suspicions surrounding Echidna's true intentions. The are several thoughts that loom; 1.) She is the original witch 2.) Unlike most the other witches, she's still alive (Omega) 3.) She has possession of several other witch souls (Minerva, Daphne, Carmilla, Typhon, and Sekhmet)  4.) She has a genuine dislike of The Witch of Envy and I presume by proxy, Emilia as well. 5.) The current day witch cultists are followers of The Witch of Envy. This is important because 400 years ago prior to Envy's awakening, Echidna was a consort of knowledge to rulers accross the lands.

I suspect The Witch of Envy's power/influence is great enough to alter the timeline effectively rewriting any possible future. Using Echdina's witch factor, the Witch of Envy gained the "immortality" that Echidna had desired for herself. I'm sure that enraged her because The Witch of Envy used her new found power to destroy the peace that existed and ushered in a new age where witches were no longer praised but were now demonized and hunted to extinction. This goes well with the fact that Echidna has been confirmed as the creator of Roswaal and Beatrice's "Gospel". This point is interesting because the gospel was said to contain visions of the future but by introducing someone with the ability to rewrite past events, it rendered the gospel rather useless.

I believe when Echidna gave Subaru the "hanky blade" she played a backhanded assist. She knew The Witch of Envy was coming and by giving Subaru the blade it would leave him few options

1.) Kill Satella with the blade thus ending the Witch of Envy (since Echidna can't attack herself without the other witches turning on her.)

2.) Kill himself infront of her to cause The Witch of Envy great heart ache.

Either choice hurts Envy/Satella... I see you Echidna
