Witches

Witches have been around since the dark ages, influencing great minds and keeping people from altering reality to an extreme. They have only reascended into the forefront of the modern world. They vary, and can remain neutral, become good, or go dark.

Origins
Beginning during the times of the Black Plague, Lilith Doomfinger, in an attempt to escape illness and disease, chose to resort to books to see if there was a solution she could find to help keep herself young and alive. Instead, she found a spell book that had been placed there by Satan. Unaware of what it would do to her, she chose to try some of the spells and brew a potion, sealing her fate as the first witch. When she was the only one in her village to not only survive the plague, but then stay young well into the next century, people started to become suspicious. She fled, traveling from town to town and teaching young girls magic and the art of brewery. Eventually, she set up in London and has yet to move.

Traits, Likes, and Dislikes
Most Witches, good or bad, tend to be incredibly cunning and vain. They take enormous pride in their work and do not like to hear when they are doing something wrong. After around five years of practice, they can be considered expert potions masters and after ten years they could be considered expert mages. Outside of their craft, most Witches enjoy going outside to gardens and living in large homes. Usually, they have small families and occasionally will teach their art to the male species. However, some Witches few men as lesser beings that are undeserving of their love or knowledge.

Rivalries
While Witches do not tend to be hateful towards many things, the Fae have never liked them very much, and vice versa. Some Witches manage to get along with a Fae of their stance, but otherwise they are shunned or a fight may be picked.

Appearance
Most Witches do not appear as cliche stories would portray them, and instead most are quite beautiful. They tend to have smaller, softer features and large curves as opposed to thin, brittle forms. Usually they are pale, but not always. Most tend to wear dark makeup and clothing, making them appear taller than they already are. Witches usually stand up to six feet tall.

Naming Customs
There is no specific naming customs for Witches, as they tend to name their offspring whatever they choose. If anything, depending on the gender of the child, the name will usually always appeal to whichever gender specifically.
