   Witches
   
   Introduction
   Women of mysterious charms; scholars of lost knowledge. Unjustly persecuted by intolerant, ignorant and cowardly people who fear powerful women. Resentful sinners, foolish slaves to power and evil, poisoners of what is good and beautiful. Magical girls who are too eccentric and devoted to their passions.
   Witches differ fundamentally from other monster girls in the path they have followed to their current form. In general, monster girls were non-human beings who acquired humanity, while witches are human women who acquired non-human characteristics (or who, according to some, lost part of their humanity).
   Although they are, in a way, the most “human” of the monster girls, not being the first image we have of them, witches are considered to be the primordial archetype of the feud between men and women. Witches and men have made history in the realms of humanity itself: for power, ambition, vision and passions. The worst and the best of both sexes and of humanity have created great tragedies and love stories, tales that are still perpetuated today with witches and knights on opposing sides.
   
   A brief history of magic
   Legends about witches begin alongside those about magic. Long before monster girls, the separation and ancient civilizations, humanity was already confronted with the supernatural. Men of valor, soldiers, warriors, sages and heroes fought monsters, nature and each other. Ingenious people developed techniques and skills to dominate themselves and nature, but nature never revealed all its secrets and the dominion of the gods, titans and monsters was beyond their reach.
   There is no certainty as to who was the first magic user, just as it is not known who was the first human to master fire. In many of the known civilizations there are legends and stories about the beings who passed on the knowledge (sometimes unwittingly) of magic to humanity:
   -Humans of exceptional virtue or with a great destiny ahead of them would have been graced by the gods with the magical gift. There are also stories of mortal passions or their children having received power, as well as nations favored by the gods. As with the great heroes, there have been many great deeds and many great tragedies with this power;
   -The faerie peoples (fairies, and the primordial elves of elfhelm) would have taught magic to humans they liked very much as a token of friendship. Some of them were malicious and taught magic that seemed good, but caused... adverse effects;
   -Ancient races from the age of monsters who already had a tradition of magic and who had contact with human beings, would have shared knowledge with some civilizations (sometimes through friendship, sometimes by force): elves who came to the mortal realm, dwarves, gnomes, a rare dragon or other, genies...;
   -Mysterious creatures from distant worlds who have embedded magical abilities in human beings for unknown or forgotten reasons;
   -Demons, spiteful gods and other evil creatures offered forbidden knowledge to the worst humans, or curses disguised as magic so that good people would spread misfortune;
   -Mysterious humans who, through their own efforts or sheer luck, managed to touch the veil of the supernatural.
   -A gift from the heavens as a duty so that humanity could fight the monstrous darkness that threatened it.
