Baba Yaga Character in Ruslavia | World Anvil

Baba Yaga

"In the deepest darkness of the Forest of Frost a hut stands on two chicken feet. In the hut, on the stove, Baba Yaga reclines on the nineth brick."
How to survive a Russian fairy tale by Nicholas Kotar, p.10.

Witch-Queen Baba Yaga

The Witch-Queen Baba Yaga is crone of mythology. Some believe her to be a fairy story, many believe her to be dead, but others believe she is still alive and subtly wielding her influence on the Witch covens of Ruslavia.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Baba Yaga is in constant conflict with Zorya of the Aurora, because she believes that Zorya is the only person who could destroy her Mortar and Pestle. If Baba Yaga descovers the secret of Baboushka, it will transpire that Baboushka could also destroy the artifact, and she will go after Baboushka.
