Description Old but definitely not frail. She is a classic 'witch' in appearance
Notes

Granny Weatherwax is assumed by many, not least herself, to be the best witch on the Discworld. She is the resident witch in Bad Ass, where Eskerina (from Equal Rites) was born. She has done many things in her time, including escorting young Esk to Ankh-Morpork and avenging King Verence's murder. Her most recent escapade has seen her coming face to face with her sister, Lily Weatherwax, who, despite Granny's best efforts, is now trapped inside one of the mirrors she used for her mirror magic.

As a witch, Granny Weatherwax is typical. Yes, she wears a pointy hat and yes, she only feels comfortable in black. She is not a person to be messed with.

The most sticky situation Granny has had to face so far is the voodoo magic of Mrs Gogol, apart from the mirror magic of her sister. Mrs Gogol made a voodo doll of Granny when both were fighting over the right to deal with Lily. However, as always, Granny used 'headology' to get out of it and still lives to tell the tale.
