The Great Witch (大魔女) is the head of the witches and a minor character in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea. She is the one who oversees the Witch World.
Physical Description[]
The Great Witch has raceless white skin and jet-black eyes with dark circles. Like other witches, she wears a large hat and cloak. Her cloak is a dark brown with a red interior, fastened with a button, and her hat is wide-brimmed with a red interior, similar to her cloak. Her hair is jet black with long bangs reaching down to her nose - the length of her hair reaching down to her hips. She is often portrayed with a large three-eyed and three-legged crow sitting on a swirled wood staff as well.
In her portrait art, a white feather with black along the top edge of it is also seen; the reason for this is unknown at this time.

The Great Witch is wise, though also cold and somewhat stubborn.
Background[]
Evident by the Great Witch's name, she is quite powerful, possessing a respectable title and status. As overseer of the Witch World, she appears to have power over the witches residing there, many of whom are similarly powerful.

Trivia[]
- Sometime in 2017, the Great Witch's name was omitted from the character page and had been reverted from "Daimajo"; the reason behind this change remains unknown.
- The name "Daimajo" means "big witch" in Japanese. [3]
- The Great Witch's familiar is based off of the mythical creature the three-legged crow, otherwise known as Samjok-o in Korea, or Yatagarasu in Japan.
- In Korea, the Samjok-o was considered a symbol of the sun. The ancient Goguryo people thought a three-legged crow lived in the sun while a turtle lived in the moon. Samjok-o was a highly regarded symbol of power, thought superior to both the dragon and Korean bonghwang. This could emphasize the Great Witch living up to her title.
- In Japanese mythology, this flying creature is a raven or jungle crow called Yatagarasu (八咫烏, "eight-span crow"), and the appearance of the great bird is construed as evidence of the will of Heaven or divine intervention in human affairs. The crow is a mark of rebirth and rejuvenation, the animal that has historically cleaned up after great battles symbolized the renaissance after such tragedy. This could likely be a reference to how the Great Witch helps with handling the curse on Wadanohara's memory that had happened during conflict.
