The Candy Witch

Candy Witch.

Witches are magical beings. Originally they were normal humans, but through the use of witchcraft they were changed. Some witches are good but many more are wicked creatures who use their dark magicks to harm others and accumelate ever more power. They mostly serve as the primary antagonists of the films.

Description[]

A witch is a human who practices magic. Like mortals, witches can be either good or evil. The origin of witches and their craft remains unknown, however witches have existed for many centuries, passing down their knowledge and skills through (predominantly) female generations.

In the film proper, dark witches and white witches are differentiated through their physical appearance and morality. Whereas white witches retain their human appearance (which allows them to easily blend in with ordinary humans) and use their power for good, the more common, evil witches use their powers to harm others. They are deformed by their repeated use of black magic, transforming into demonic shadows of their former selves.

Appearance[]

Desert witch

The desert witch

Compared to their benevolent counterpart, evil witches in the film are repulsive, if not demonic, in appearance as a result of their usage of black magic. They differ in size, depending on their diet; and clothing, depending on their origin. Regardless, they are originally human until the practice of dark magic and its usage continued use for evil turned them into abominations. Only the legendary Grand High Witch can revert to their original human appearance, to blend in human society.

Many possess bestial characteristic such as claws, sharp teeth and some animal-like mannerisms. They now prey on human beings and their twisted forms reflect this malevolent nature.
