a new darkwood oc!

the witch, a very solitary pagan who used to live somewhere between the two villages in the swamp and the silent forest and who occasionally steals chicken and other livestock for blood sacrifices :) the witches pronouns are it/it's/itself, because why not.

the second time in a game that the stranger tries to go inside the chicken lady's house, the witch storms out with a chicken under it's arm, with the chicken lady screaming bloody murder after them. when the stranger comes to the swamp and closer to the heart of the forest, he might find the witch again, sitting in a circle of dead carcasses, resembling the savages that roam the forest, mumbling incoherently. In the evening, some savages come to the ritual site to add animal carcasses and otherwise bodyparts to the circle, the more human looking parts are more and more parts from replicas made by the Being. If the stranger steps into the circle and attacks the witch, it will only start screaming and when killed, the stranger can loot their body to find an "effigy of an old god", a little slightly humanoid looking figurine made of sticks and twine, covered in fungal growths.
