Grand High Witch



The Grand High Witch, appearing in The Witches, is the head of all of the witches in the world. When interacting with normal people, she appears as the attractive if aloof Miss Eva Ernst, head of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Beneath her skin mask and aristocratic air, however, she is a bald, warty, dictatorial crone, with an elongated nose, loose hanging skin, and the traditional long fingernails and stumpy feet of all witches.
