New headcanon that Mirara’s mask is hereditary to the station, and no one in the history of the Coven of Elders has ever seen the face of the Witch of the Waning Moon, only knowing her by name and voice, like trying to recognize shadows from one another
Imagine Mirara showing up to her very first Conclave, staying silent under the mask, and the other witches not noticing anything’s off until Hakea slowly looks over to her and says “well? Are you going to introduce yourself, new sister?”
#imagine the other witches going how tf did you know#and Hakea going how did you blind bitches NOT know?#worlds beyond number#wbn mirara#Mirara witch of the waning moon#wbn Hakea

I do want to plug The Re-Slayer's take again if you're not listening: it's short and goes very fast (it's edited to have no real table-talk, so it plays like a scripted podcast even though it's actual play) and despite being all ages...think AT:LA or Doctor Who and how fucked up things can get. Also the core cast is great (I was already a fan of Jasmine Bhullar and William Jasper Cartwright but Jasmine Chiong has won me over as Farah, a cranky older blood hunter woman), they've had some great guests (those listening on the main feed - Christian Navarro is about to show up!), and some of the main cast of CR has shown up as very fun NPCs!
#i LOVE cranky older women. farah. lark from midst. hakea from wbn. dowager countess from downton abbey.#critical role#the re slayers take#i haven't watched doctor who in over a decade but like. honestly when you can't get graphic you just end up getting massively creepy#scariest thing is the unknown. actually very fun be like hello children we can't show you too much blood! anyway here's Midnight

I've had a theory that Hakea was strongly on Ame's side for a bit, that her domain of growth would oppose that of mirara whose domain is death, especially when the coven seems to have been slowly shrinking over time - surely as the witch of growth she would be invested in keeping the coven alive, growing new witchlings and new positions to be kept
But damn
She's the one that started the whole thing, this is literally her life's work, she has no inheritors and as she slowly inches towards death so does the coven
(sidebar i really adore the way the witches so clearly embody their domains. They don't just gain their powers from them, they act towards the world as a force of their station)

Love so much that Hakea, a witch whose subclass in the playtest is built to magically grapple and restrain everything complimented Ame's use of a restraining spell
Also love that Erika used the witch's grasp/cackle combo, goated 1. 2. punch, sad we didn't get to see it fully tho but that combat was so good I loved it
#worlds beyond number#ame wbn#hakea witch of the woodland green#can you tell i immediately built a witch of the woodland green when the playtest dropped

Because the question didn’t end up being finished, I want to do my best to explain the rest of the Coven of Elders’s familiars. We all know about Ame’s fox being mischief and selfishness (or impulsivity, depending on how you want to word it) that can interferes with forming and maintaining community. I totally agree with Indri’s polar bear being the predatory viciousness she doesn’t present in polite company.
Mirara’s crow? Crows are known for being sociable, loud, and aggressive. They also have tight knit families and mourn the dead. They’re a lot. That’s not necessarily something a witch of entropy and nothingness would want to internalize.
Gramore’s hawk? Hawks are loyal, quick to anger, and hold grudges. While very forward and intimidating, Gramore doesn’t strike me as necessarily having too short a temper. I would think that strong emotions could infere with the effectiveness of a hunt. The Witch of the Wild Hunt would also have to interact with a lot of predators, and the politics of that could make always holding grudges inconvenient.
Hakea’s boa constrictor? Boas are often docile, slow-moving, curious, and apparently easy to tame. For a witch who is responsible for tending to Orima’s domain, who has to answer to many of the literal forces of nature, I would imagine a certain backbone is required that means that while curiosity and a certain gentleness might sometimes be called for, it would only be in select circumstances.
Anyone who knows more about the temperament of these animals, feel free to chime in with your thoughts? I kept with scientific animal behavior rather than allegorical associations, because these NPCs were created by Brennan “Animals Facts Guy” Lee Mulligan, but one could point out that Hakea having a snake familiar means she’s secretly cunning. Only time will tell if any of this is true, as I don’t have great read on Hakea other than, as @quiddie called her in the Fireside Chat, “Sleepy Time Grandma” lol. We don’t really know many of the witches’ real personality other than Indri, who I think we know pretty well now, despite her having possibly the thickest mask (lol and she’s not the one who wears a literal mask).

Oh my god! Indry just voted no against joining the man in black, and Hakea voted yes. I was not expecting that. I honestly thought it would be four against one.

to elaborate on Indri and cross over a bit into Critical Role's current plot (spoilers for both WBN and CR):
Indri, Witch of the Wind and Stars, embodies a domain of the self, independence, and self-sufficiency. She lives at the north pole in a beautiful castle surrounded by an immensely hostile environment.
In the current arc, and specifically in the current episode, she has engineered a plot to dismiss the domain of the World's Heart, the seat on the Coven of Elders pertaining to community, humanity, and connection, held by Ame (Erika's PC). Such a dissolution of the domain would mean the death of Ame, its recently ascended witch.
Ame is able to save herself and her seat thanks to the help of her friends, particularly Suvi's (Aabria's PC) knowledge and intelligence gathering and Eursulon's (Lou's PC) fluency in the language of spirits. Through this group effort, as well as other adventures that put the coven's founder, Hakea, Witch of the Wandering Green, on their side, they learn that the coven cannot end their gathering with only four remaining witches lest the covenant that created it be dissolved.
It comes out in the final meeting that one of the other witches, Mirara, didn't know that destroying Ame would destroy the coven, and Hakea realizes that the plan was actually to also get rid of Mirara, leaving a coven of 3. Ame smooths this all over before it turns into actual violence by pointing out that perhaps Indri's intention was to inaugurate new witches (which they can do); but a crucial nat 20 insight reveals to her that Indri, in pursuing the power of unanimity within the coven (and perhaps leaning in too hard to her role) had intended to whittle the coven down to one: herself. She was possibly behind the more recent dissolving of two other seats. But Ame keeps that insight to herself, and Indri does recover as best she can and at least outwardly behave with all the generosity and kindness of a host and equal towards Ame from there on out, acknowledging the kindness Ame showed her and the debt she owes.
Brennan outright says it on the fireside: this confrontation ends because Ame has a bunch of friends and companions and is good with people and gains the support they provide. It also ends with the ancient, powerful, experienced witch of self-sufficiency needing to be rescued by the nascent, level 3 witch of community.
I think this is really helpful too in understanding why Ludinus Da'leth is such an unsympathetic figure. Matt said he found connection "beneath him". King Imathan Talviel of Uthodurn said he seemed stuck in the past and would not share his gifts nor engage in the community of Molaesmyr other than to heckle the priests. Ludinus himself doesn't say he was abused or pressured by those around him in his youth to follow the gods, only "told"; while this could be understatement, at least as told it seems as though he took other people's choice to find meaning in something he despised as a personal attack. The Cerberus Assembly is famously a nest of backstabbing strivers and its members don't care for him. The Vanguard is similar; Otohan thought little of him (and he of her), as does Zathuda, and while Liliana says he trusts her, she has her own doubts and Ludinus has said little of her other than to dangle her before Imogen. Essek, 7 years ago, told him to try making friends and he does not appear to have listened, and then, when he approaches Bells Hells (already a group hostile to him, due to him trying to feeblemind, attack, kill, and otherwise thwart them repeatedly) he acts as if he's doing them a favor and refuses to answer their questions, take responsibility for any of his actions, or give credit where due.
I suspect Indri will continue to be an antagonist and that some of her behavior is a front, but she is, at least, able to admit that she faltered and Ame did her an undeserved kindness, and in doing so she appears at least a little sympathetic. Ludinus's refusal to make any sort of connection to others seems to have left him utterly miserable within inches of a near-millennium-long goal. He's asking Bells Hells, people he's wronged in horrible and life-changing ways, to grant him a gift he seems to have scorned and rejected for his entire life; at least Indri recognized a freely offered one she did not particularly deserve for what it was. At some point, you do run out of chances.
#literally as discussed there's SO many super old people bopping around and they're all like.#can't say they're normal but the ashari seem to do ok for themselves!#anyway. friendless behavior.#cr tag#wbn tag#i always feel bad about maintagging crossover meta like this i don't want to spoil people who only know one. so i won't

ok I'm caught on !!! disappointed but not surprised that eursulon and wolf guy didn't fuck BUT ANYWAYS im thinking
so suvi saw hakea become the first witch at the end of a quest???? so MAYBE stations that have been lost could have a new witch still?? wouldn't be an easy process but hey, not impossible it seems !
also this was centuries ago and brennan used the word 'quest' specifically, sooo maybe talking to her we could know more about the times were knights were still around?
all of this is me wishful thinking stuff tho lol but would be very interesting

Okay, pulling from the transcripts of episodes 26/27, here's the spelling of the witches' names:
Indri, Witch of the Wind and Stars
Nif, her apprentice
Gramore, Witch of the Wild Hunt
Baksha, her apprentice
Hakea, Witch of the Woodland Green
Mirara, Witch of the Waning Moon
#worlds beyond number#wbn#wwwo#good news#i found the apprentice names spelling#bad news#the spelling of the witches names#excepting Indri#were different than how they were spelled in episode 15#mirara was spelled marara#but in the ep 27 transcript it went back to mirara#hakea and gramore stayed the same between 26 and 27 so I'm going with those#lots of fun#i just enjoy having a reference for my own peace of mind
