Princess Emily : Third witch is Magrat, former apprentice of Goodie Whemper (maysherestinpeace) who upon inheriting her mentor's cottage induced the first two to join a Coven with her. Stronger at witchcraft and magic than she looks, but tends to get hung up on things.

The fourth witch is Agnes Nitt Perdita X, the fat girl with a "Great Personality" who is constantly frustrated at how the world treats overweight women

So she came up with like a cool goth alter ego that, because she's magic, kind of took on a life of her own

Esme Weatherwax and Gytha Ogg are elder witches and VERY powerful but in a very low key way that makes them easy to underestimate

@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
Mm, I'm not sure I'd call Granny Weatherwax low-key, exactly.

Agnes has a magic voice that she can do tricks with, like singing in harmony with herself, or literally throwing her words around the page.
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
I mean, in terms of doing obvious magic, yes.
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
She doesn't do a lot of magic

Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
But the sheer force of personality at all times, though.
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
But when she does it's very memorable
moontouched
@rukafais
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:39 AM
like its at least Kinda Easy to underestimate her as 'crotchety old woman' which people do do in the books like. Several times
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
True.
moontouched
@rukafais
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
and then they fuck around and find out

Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
I think my favorite was the sword catching bit
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
I'm just saying, I feel like anyone capable of The Stare that Granny Weatherwax can do is a lot.

Magrat does some magic that leaves even Granny impressed, and Granny's Borrowed Bees and sealed away a whole kingdom for 20 years.
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
Ooh, yes- specifically the aftermath of it.
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
Guy swings a sword at her and she just catches it
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
"Why didn't it cut you?"
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:40 AM
"I don't have time to bleed"
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:41 AM
Later at the end of the book she goes to her kitchen and boils some bandages and gets a needle and thread
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:41 AM
You can't catch a sword by the blade and not get cut. That would be terrible. But if you don't have time to be cut right now, it can wait until later. That's fine.
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:41 AM
and then just announces the to the wrold
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:41 AM
"Okay"
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:41 AM
"I've got time now"

Next scene she has a bandage around her hand

Granny Weatherwax is nothing if not willing to go through with her commitments. Not a woman who tries to weasel out of a cosmic debt, that one.

While Granny Ogg is a lady who can instantly gel into any social situation and is everyone's favorite grandma who knows all the dirty songs and some really good recipes for moonshine

I wish we also had a picture of Magrat from the climax of Lords and Ladies
Snake-Kun
@Overbringer

that'd be great

Nanny does even less magic than Granny, but she's still VERY useful
Echo
@EchoDoctor
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:50 AM
Nanny Ogg has charisma in barrels, honestly.
Vehrec
@Vehrec
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:50 AM
Nanny's magic is still getting it on when she has like 25 grandkids or something
Vehrec

yeah, Nanny is just unrestrained female sexuality and refusing to let anyone shame her or any other lady
Vehrec
@Vehrec
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 1:55 AM
Nanny's also the greatest midwife in history
Tonberry King
@Tazrael
Thu, Dec 28, 2023 2:11 AM
to paraphrase a different meme, "Not only has Nanny Ogg fucked but, distressingly, she continues to fuck."
Vehrec
@Vehrec

She has 15 named kids, and she's still got It.

also like, Nanny may be less overt magic, but of the four of them I'd go to her for any medicine or remedy I'd be needing

Tonberry King : you probably want Magrat for that actually, she's the one who has written down all her medical herbs and pharmacology.
