A Discworld Fanart.

Esmerelda Esme Weatherwax is a character from Terry Pratchett's Discworld series. She was a witch. Granny Weatherwax wore a plain black dress, a somewhat battered black cloak and a tall, pointed witch's hat, skewered to her 'iron-hard gray bun' hairstyle with multiple hatpins. She was thin, and, while not really that tall, has such a commanding presence that she seemed tall. She had blue eyes and penetrating gaze.

She is a very powerful witch, but she prefers to use headology in place of real magic.Granny Weatherwax has a near-unshakeable belief in her own abilities, which has thus far proved accurate, and an extreme distrust of stories. She was intended by nature to be a wicked witch but, at an early age, realised she had to be the good one to balance her sister, Lily.

Granny Weatherwax feels little need for personal possessions and keeps most of them in a single wooden box. There have been romances in her life, notably Arch-chancellor Ridcully of Unseen University.
