They are beings who have ugliness in their souls which ends up being reflected in their bodies, hating beauty, goodness and innocence, especially in other women and girls. They covet power to manipulate and subjugate men to their whims, delighting in stealing young boys from maidens. To do this, they use disguises, enchantments and potions. They delight in eliminating competing young women through poisoning, curses or slander. Once in power and married, they sometimes extend this practice to find husbands for their daughters. But these infamous women are also capable of trying to kill their own children in fits of jealousy because they possess some kind of virtue that they don't have. If the daughter is good, she will be very prone to this, but a bad daughter can also be a victim, especially if she is beautiful. However, bad daughters can also be matricides.
They use spells against faithful people, hating virtuous practitioners of the faith out of spite and because of the teachings of their demonic masters. When weak, they use subterfuge. But when strong, self-proclaimed witch queens raise armies of malevolent beings and bewitch kings and emperors, subjecting entire kingdoms to their selfish whims.
As said before, the appearance of these witches tends to degrade, their own evil and the evil magic they use affects their mana which in turn alters their bodies. They end up having to use more magic to prevent their own degradation or at least disguise it. A common weakness of these witches is that, even in disguise, mirrors crack in their presence. This worsens their attitude towards the beauty of other women and even those who are still beautiful envy their innocence and purity. This makes it easier when their black magic calls for the sacrifice of innocents, especially young people and children. The worst of them develop a hunger for the flesh of the innocent, a manifestation of hatred and greed for what they have lost.
Groups of them can organize conventions for mutual aid and organize spells and rituals with greater levels of power. Such witches' sabbath inevitably brings misfortune to others in the form of hordes of pure monsters, plagues, pestilence and curses, not to mention the people lost as sacrifices and ingredients for the gatherings. Security forces, detectives and inquisitors serve the nations and the faith by investigating possible gatherings before they happen.
