Her name is Bo'asha, the locals may call her Baba Bo'asha which theoretically just means Grandma Bo'asha but often is a pejorative for an old woman. She is irascible, eccentric, curmudgeonly, and untamed. Rumors fly about the town that the crazy old crone who lives in her cottage in the woods is a winter witch who consorts with beasts and practices cannibalism on bad children.

She lives in an ancient overgrown cottage in the woods near a semi-permanent Saxa settlement, though they believe her to be Finnar (if human at all.) She supports herself through her garden and sometimes makes pilgrimages into town for supplies. She is regarded as an oddity or mild threat by most adults, a strange monster by children. She has been known to sell services as a fortune teller and potion crafter; tales about of her love potions. She is a known woodswitch and believed to be a Hrimwitch as well. She has attracted a great ghostly barn owl named Vosk that accompanies her nearly everywhere; whenever she enters a building in the town, the great raptor hunches like a gargoyle over the doorway until she exits.

Gear: Woven woolen robes, shawl, hide bodice and skirt (+1 Toughess), rabbit fur mantle, boots, and gloves. Walking Staff (Str+d4, +1 Parry, 2h), steel skinning knife (Str+d4, concealed)
Bandolier containing pockets of herbs and powders, with a Healer's Bag at the waist. Two candles, Herbalist's Kit, Lantern with 2 pints of oil, snow shoes, water skin, bedroll, large tanned hide for tent/lean-to, rope, flint, smoking pipe.

Assuming we begin with 500g, I have 95g remaining.
