WITTEWIFE...i love her, and i think the name mary is a good fit for her. i didn't expect her to be a thing but hollow mind gave me permanent brainrot and i'm so happy they gave caleb a person in his life outside of just philip. it makes him feel more like an actual guy with his own life and not just an object in philip's story.

i wrote a lot about this in my wittechild fic, but i think she's suchhhhhhh an interesting concept for a character because she symbolizes so much in the show. she's essentially the first person belos ruined the life of that we know about, and she's like a physical representation of his hatred for magic and he views her like a caricature of what he hates about witches, and she's treated almost a bit like eve from the bible? she seems to be depicted like a woman who lured caleb into committing a sin, in philip's eyes...but of course, we know that that's not really the case and it was just genuine love, which philip can't get through his head. i desperately wish we had the screentime to see the aftermath of her reaction to caleb's death. she's one of the most tragic figures in the entire series. i'm sure she was a totally badass mom for wittechild, too. she did the best she could. (....i'm also sure flapjack adored her like how he's gonna adore willow, heheh. he definitely helped get wittewife and caleb together.)

as for her personality, i think it'd be super fun if she has traits from both eda and lilith. i think she's probably a lot like teen eda's personality, where she's impulsive and reckless and just...takes up so much space everywhere she goes, in regards to how big and loud her vibes are. but i also think she's intelligent and passionate and definitely has lilith-style bad coping mechanisms and anger problems. i think it'd be really fun if she has some parallels to willow at first glance, but then those get subverted right after to set her and caleb apart from huntlow despite the two ships being parallels. for example, maybe she gets introduced doing plant magic, but it quickly falls apart as it's revealed that she's pretty crappy at it right after. something like that would be a nice way of emphasizing that hunter's crush on willow is his own choice, and not just influence from caleb's taste in girls LMAO.

also, i think it'd be fun to put her in potions like eda and lilith were!!! i bet she was super powerful at a wide variety of types of magic, though. those clawthorne genes are strong.
