My idea for a more traditional hag/crone style witch character - Agnes!
Design-wise I think it'd be fun to have an old lady character who actually LOOKS like an old lady.
Agnes is a spirit-focused character with a focus on area control, damage over time, some support, and cursing the enemy. To differentiate her from Geist, she doesn't want youth or beauty - but while that much is clear, what Agnes actually wants out of the ritual is acceptance.
In her twenties when the first Maelstrom hit, Agnes Mayweather took to the occult like a duck to water, and has been a witch ever since. She's been the Maiden, she's been a Mother, and now in her later years, she finds herself the Crone.
Of the three roles, this one has brought her the most ire and suspicion.
When she was a Maiden, girls would flock to her for magical advice on love and beauty; when she was a Mother, women came to her for help as a midwife and a healer. But now, old and wrinkled, Agnes is more powerful than she's ever been - but people fear and distrust her based on her looks alone.
Rather than change herself, she wants to change society.
Personality-wise Agnes is crotchety and annoyed with how she is perceived as either a 'useless old woman' or an 'evil old hag'. She's old fashioned and tries to catch herself when she cackles - she doesn't want to be seen as a wicked witch but cackling just comes with the territory.
Agnes would have one of the slower base move speeds and only 2 stamina; but her abilities can help speed herself (or allies) up and slow enemies down to even the playing field.
Her weapon is her walking stick, Something Wicked. She flicks magical bolts from the end - it has a slow rate of fire and medium range, with an alt fire that has her stomp it on the ground dealing weapon damage around her in a small radius (with a much slower rate of fire than the primary fire).
Her abilities:
