Meryl Green
Grandmother (a.k.a. Mire Witch)
Meryl Green is a prominent figure in the Empire of the Rune Keepers, and also in the Feywild where she originally hails from. She is a very old and very powerful Green Hag who has lived long enough and gathered enough power to carry the title of "Grandmother" among her own kind; she is also known to be powerful enough that even a little more elevation would see her become a deity.
Though innately Fey in nature and wicked in many ways, Meryl is unlike many Hags and despite having many of her own agendas, actually has a lot of time and patience for mortals and their chaotic lifestyles. She will make deals where she can and cause pain if she is pushed to it, but prefers to observe and learn and watch as the world turns, getting involved only when it is of interest to her. Only a fool would mistake this as weakness, however. She is as adept and willing to kill and maim as any Hag would be if they are interfered with and she has a very special penchant for turning people into teapots when they irritate her.
Meryl has had a number of children over the course of her long life. Some of them she devoured to bolster her power, some of them died to other enemies, some were killed by Kasri and three still live:
Clara and Ursula Green, twin sisters around the age of twenty are her pride and joy, able to bring genuine emotions of love and affection from her - she has taught them almost everything she knows and intends to elevate them to the same power levels as she so that they are safe and able to protect themselves from the dangers ahead.
Muriel Mireshadow is Meryls' oldest living daughter, they are estranged and it is uncertain if they are on speaking terms. She never mentions her eldest daughter, though it seems the twins are aware of her existence.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
In her humanoid guise, Meryl takes the form of an Elven woman with long greying auburn hair, often bound in a braid or bun. Her skin is a warm tanned colour, wrinkled slightly from age and sunspotted; her eyes are a bright sickly olive green.
She stands at around 5"3 in height in likely looks to weigh no more than 100lbs.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
Meryl has lived a very long life, surpassing many other Hags in age in fact. She is old enough and powerful enough to have been given the title of "Grandmother" among her kind, which is to date the highest title in their hierarchy.
She has come and gone from the Feywild many times and can travel freely using faerie circles (mushroom rings) and the magic of her Dancing Hut. Over that time period she has had approximately 9 children in total, 2 of them were male Hag Spawn who she consumed to make use of their uselessness; 2 were Changelings killed by an enemy Coven; 2 were young Hags killed by Kasri and 3 still live.

Social Aptitude
Meryl is highly charismatic and plays the role of an innocent elderly woman to perfection. Polite, well mannered and welcoming to those who visit her, she is well adapted to put people at ease before weaving a web of getting what she wants. She knows how to play to the emotions of those offering aid, and can manipulate most situations to benefit her.
She is, nevertheless, fairly honest when compared to most Fey beings. She will weave an occasional lie or alter a truth, but for the most part she finds it easier to be direct and truthful with details of importance.
