Or at least, on paper. Last year I got a book called &#8220;The Field Guide to Witches&#8221;, where artists reimagine different types of witches from sketch to full illustration.

She also works at a lace factory. I imagine her living area to have a heavy gilded-age aesthetic &#8211; lots of industrialization and income inequality. I referenced bay cities like Montreal and Copenhagen, as well as industrial-era factories and environments.
