M. Yaga

She is a descendant of Baba Yaga, an old witch woman known in Slavic fairy tales as an antagonist with an appetite for young children. Most of Baba Yaga’s depictions have the old woman flying around the forest atop a giant mortar and living in a hut mounted on a pair of chicken legs. While she can play the role of sage to lost souls, her character is consistently solitary. So, M. Yaga finds herself on a similarly lonely journey.
