Baba Yaga as a PC witch's patron

[BON3S McCOY]

One of my PCs is playing a witch with the failed winter witch campaign trait and background. We decided she tried to join the witches in Irrisen and they violently turned her away for being a tiefling. She then went mad after being rejected living on her own and this is when her arctic hare familiar found her and she gained her initial powers.

My plan was to make Baba Yaga her witch patron and hope the character survives long enough to meet her and have BY use her because she became disappointed with the current brood of white witches.

Would this work? I can't believe she wouldn't be powerful enough to grant powers like this.

What other special things could I do for the PC to further tie her into the AP with this?

I'd actually use Vigliv as the patron. In part because she's Baba Yaga's actual patron, and in part because I just don't see Dear Grandmother, in her relentless misanthropy, actually becoming a patron herself.

(In my campaign I actually did use Vigliv as the witch's patron, and had her essentially send visions by hijacking the witch's Harrow deck at the start of each book.)

I don't see why not. Anything that can add to the flavor of a campaign and doesn't necessarily caught the GM to jump through hoops to "make it work". There are actually some pieces of the campaign later on that would I think would work quite well with that.

We wound up adding so much flavor to the characters in our group (http://reignofwintersandiego.blogspot.com/) that I wound up turning my character into a book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HDLVWPH
