Rhytidia Delphus ‘the Bog Witch’

Personality
As a bog witch, Rhytidia does not have much patience for people who live in urban areas. She shows disdain when Sam tries to categorise her magic within the lines of Arcanism.

She regularly comes off as quite rude and abrasive.

Physical Appearance
Muddy, probably.

History
Rhytidia lives in Dorset. She seems to have known Marie for several years.

There is no implication of how old Rhytidia is, though given that she knew of Anna and Kitty when they were children, it can be assumed that she is roughly the same age as Madame Marie, or older.

Skills and Abilities
Rhytidia listens to the mud and hears the predictions it makes. Sam once attempts to call what Rhytidia does 'divination', but she dismisses him. They state that they do not assume that the mud sings only for them. She has spent years developing a relationship with the mud in order to better understand it and its 'song'.

Relationships
Rhytidia seems to have been friends with Marie, as the latter went to Rhytidia for help morre than once.

She also knows of Oliver Boleyn, the hedge witch, though nothing more is known of their acquaintance.

They are of the opinion that, as children, Anna was the only one of the Enfield siblings that showed attention to detail. She thinks that Sam and Kitty 'never ask the difficult questions'.

For reasons yet unknown, Rhytidia is deathly afraid of Scourge, and they recognised his voice after only a few words.

Trivia

 * In order to reach Rhytidia's voice, voice actor Ripley makes 'weh', waluigi-esque sounds before recording.
 * Rhytidia's name comes from a genus of moss called 'rhytidiadelphus '. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, meaning it can be found across most of the world in appropriate habitats. This is somewhat ironic, given Rhytidia's dislike of all things cosmopolitan.
