Bayaga, the Familiar
Bayaga barely remembers her life as a grimalkin, before Rhea the Witch of Westmarch Woods. She remembers the constant hunger. She remembers the fear. And she remembers when Rhea came to her, fed her, took her in as she lurched over her cauldron, whispering secret incantations.
When Bayaga grew sick, she remembers Rhea dropping her into the bubbling pot, and arising, transformed. Rhea gave her wings, a way to escape the life she hated. But Bayaga now knew love and loyalty, and would fight for Rhea, trapped under her manipulative thumb, in more danger now than she ever faced alone in the wood.
