The Baking Witch produces Brownie copies of everyone she meets. These chocolate, cake-bodied versions will do their best to mimic the person they are a copy of. They have a surprising amount of self direction and will often over-do the impersonation. It's hard not to trip over your own Brownie as it tries to be in the same place at the same time as you. It just won't go away! Even if it is damaged, it will go running back to the Baking Witch and return repaired with icing. Even worse, it'll have an even more extreme copy of itself in tow!

She can't explain why but she knows that, once, long ago, she was something else and didn't care about baking. That's in the past now and she can't stop! She wants, she NEEDS, to cover fairyland with her wondrous baked goods. Especially her signature Brownie copies of each personality she comes across. Instinct: Make more Brownies

• Create a tornado of flour and sugar
