Witch

"Only a tangled skein awaits those who carelessly spin tales about love or the universe's mysteries... not to mention a woman's beauty."

- Witch

Witch (魔女) is a silver ranked adventurer who is in a two-person party with Spearman.

Appearance
Witch is a beautiful spell-caster with long purple hair and a voluptuous body. She wears a revealing set of robes, a large pointed hat, and is usually seen smoking a pipe. She displays a seductive demeanor, causing those she interacts with to become embarrassed.

Personality
Witch acts in a rather amorous manner, often suggesting sexual undertones in otherwise normal conversation. Despite her teasing, she is caring towards those around her, offering advice and help to those who need it. She tends to speak in terse and paused sentences.

Year One Volume 1
Witch was part of the group of adventurers that battled a rock eater in an abandoned gold mine. During the battle, Spearman saved her from being eaten by the magic-impervious beast.

Year One Volume 2
Witch was introduced to Goblin Slayer, who wanted to identify a magic ring he recovered. She was unable to but told him to seek out a person who lived at the bank of a river on the outskirts of town. Once he left, Witch shyly asked Guild Girl to register her and Spearman as a legitimate party.

Goblin Slayer Volume 1
Witch was first seen helping Priestess get away from a pair of porcelain-rank adventurers who wanted to scout her. She also gave her advice on her situation with Goblin Slayer. Witch later helped Goblin Slayer set the destination of a gate scroll he obtained. She is later seen assisting in the defense of Cow Girl’s farm alongside Spearman against the goblins.
