In her Crone form, Baba Yaga resembled a hunched old woman with grey hair and stone-cold black eyes. Her nose and ears were long, her face full of wrinkles. Age spots covered her skin, making her look weak.
Her clothes were black, and she wore a long shawl around her hair to keep it from whipping her face on a windy day.
That, and the walking cane, made her resemble Lady Nerea of Lutia, the old Healer and midwife that everyone had called "Nana" since they were babies.
"No, you are not Nana." Vexal's relaxed expression hardened, feeling as if the stranger was mocking the woman who had delivered him and his daughter safely.
The stranger's voice was strong and confident like the real Nana's, but the Crone lacked the aura of bitterness and lingering rage that Nerea wore like an armor every day of her life.
