Yenith

Yenith is an old woman, who lives alone in the nearby Thorn woods. She is usually shunned until there is a difficult birth, a painful death or disease - then the village comes calling, begging for her aid.  Crooked of back, toothless and walking with a stick. She looks the classic witch, when in fact she is simply a wise woman and superb herbalist. Should the attacks continue the village will blame her first, locking her in her house and burning her alive.
