The most respected witch in the Ramtop Mountains, known for her iron will and mastery of headology - the art of understanding and influencing people's minds without resorting to overt magic. She lives alone in a cottage near Lancre, tending goats and dispensing practical wisdom. Granny is deeply principled about not meddling in politics, though she ultimately breaks this rule when the kingdom itself is threatened. She has a handsome, slightly equine face, wears a tall pointed hat, and flies a temperamental broomstick.
