Baba Yaga: is based on Russian storytelling and may well be one of the first witches in children's stories.
Is not an evil witch, but she brings wrath to those who misbehave. Many times, she acts as a protector for young girls that get lost in the woods. She is a guide. Her big ears, crooked nose and wild eyes define the prototype of the ugly woman from the forest that can easily cook you alive if you cross her.
