Witch. shopkeeper, herbalist. Clearly it has to be Admiranda, Esdeline, Murienne.
The three sisters?
Admiranda left home one night to collect herbs for her sister Esdeline.
Murienne was watching the shop they all ran together in the middle of town. Esdeline was inside cooking supper for the three of them.
When Admiranda got home she tripped and fell when walking into the kitchen with her pickings of the night. Some of the herbs she has brought fell into the pot. It caused the boiling water to splash all over Esdeline's skin.
Murienne hearing Esdeline's following scream, rushed in to see what was the matter. Esdeline in shock from the scalding water, fell forward and tripped into the pot, spilling it's contents all over the floor.
Both of her sister's came to help her, however failed to notice the change in her sister, I mean how could they?
She was screaming a moment ago. All too suddenly Esdeline was dead, the other sister's had already touched the contents of the pot, and saw their doom. One by one they both fell. Dead.
All three sister's dead. Inside the remaining contents of the stew as it grew cold, a mandrake came forth, and fused with the bodies of the newly deceased. Slowing changing their bodies into one.
The mandrake grew taller, and screamed with the deathly cries of the three sisters.
When the night came to pass, only a huddled form of the mandrake remained with the skin of the sisters wrapped around it's form.
When the mandrake ventured outside in it's newly created body, people didn't understand what it was.
It had a long nose, straggly hair, and bared the resemblance of a human female.
They created a name for this creature.
They named her Witch.
I'm pulling your leg. LOL. I pulled that story out of my ass.
