Amanita

Role in Story:	Swamp witch.

Physical Description:	Crooked old woman, face and hands so full of wrinkles she looks a hundred years old. Long white hair piled on top of her head like a bundle of sheep’s wool, leans on a crooked gnarled cane.

Personality:	Amanita likes to make jokes and enjoys making other people uncomfortable. Her motives are known only to her.

Background:	She is a witch who dwells in a spooky, haunted swamp. Her existence is not a secret, but few attempt to seek her out, due to the dangers of the monsters and creatures who dwell within her borders. She seems to be connected with the equally as mysterious, yet more abrasive, Cortinarius. She makes allusions to what she is, but is vague about her true nature.

Notes:	Amanita is the genus of a poisonous mushroom.
