Gonna be playing as this Night Hag in a side campaign.
She’s p much the exact opposite of Luna which is kinda why I wanted to use her.
Umbra is a fairly young Night Hag witch.
She’s obsessed with two things: Beauty and corruption.
She eats [REDACTED] to keep herself pretty and haunts people in their sleep, planting evil thoughts into their heads and slowly killing them. Their souls are then collected in her Soul Bag.
She used to be a part of a hag coven but she was insufferable with her pride, her demands, and thinking she’s better than all the other hags for being beautiful. She got kicked out.
Instead, she sought out a witch coven and was accepted in the Covenant of Charm. They taught her to bind spirits and manipulate the emotions of the living.
- She lives in a swamp with black, tar-like pools.
- Her makeup is bug-based.
- Don’t talk about the weird fluid she puts in her hair to make it sparkly.
- “This is high hag fashion actually. You absolute idiot. You wish you were me.”
- Prefers bone jewelry.
- Sometimes mistaken for a drow which she uses to her advantage.

“As the days went on, the statue appeared to move around the home seemingly of its own accord, muddy footprints began to manifest on the floor, and the pungent scent of stagnant pond water filled the house. On the seventh day, they saw her crouched in the shadows of the living room: The Crone, a horrifying apparition with an emaciated body and eyes that shined in the darkness.”
