Baba Yellowlegs
Seven hundred years old, and she helped pull down a whole city of witches. She died in a carnival wagon, beheaded by a customer, with the smile still on her face.
Baba Yellowlegs is the ancient Matron of the Ironteeth Yellowlegs Clan, from Crown of Midnight — one of the Ancients, a seer and keeper of forbidden Wyrd lore who, by Adarlan's day, travels disguised as a harmless fortune-teller. Celaena goes to her for a riddle and leaves her headless.

We're Caffeine and Curses. The Library started as my design research — I can't put Manon on a shirt without knowing which way the iron teeth snap — so we keep the notes here where everyone can use them. The pages are fan-made, not official; the licensed designs are in the shop.
