Assignment 22 - Claire Thompson

If I could be any fictional character, I would be the legendary Baba Yaga (Баба яга) who is by FAR the best character from Russian folklore. She's a witch that lives in the woods, has a house that has very large chicken legs (so it's a mobile home--practical for a witch like herself), and can like grow and shrink her limbs and nose at will (although she is sometimes known to have problems with her nose getting too big, but it's cool). But she's not just a villain because she can still help people she likes. And she can fly too, but it's unclear how exactly she does it because sometimes she's describe as just flying??? but she doesn't use a broom like a typical witch, normally she flies around in like a mortar or something. But her role in Russian folklore is largely ambiguous, because she is either a villain or she can just be a passing aid to the hero, so she's multifaceted; she's not just a predictable evil witch. She's probably the most mysterious and enigmatic and weirdly endearing folklore character I can think of. Of all of the evil hags to ever live (all of which are near and dear to my heart), she is so far above all of them. She's the best.

Or I'd be the Eraserhead baby.
