The definition of a witch can be looked at in many perspectives. The one above is the the one seen by most human beings, by beings and fellow mystical creatures that don't have a full understanding of witches and therefore allow their fear of the unknown to make such unflattering assumptions.

The perspective I have is completely different. One reason being, my ability to be open-minded and welcoming to new and extraordinary ideas, the other, because I'm a witch.

Sure I have magical powers but I'm not evil, yes I wear black clothes but I really love and wear colour too and, as cliché as it may be, I have a pointed hat and a broom. It's hilarious.

As for the "ugly and unpleasant" description, I take major offense.
Not to be cocky or conceited or anything, but I'd like to think I -like many other witches- am quite attractive and have a great enough personality to hang around. With my black curls dyed with an ombre light blue, natural pouty pink lips, freckled brown skin and amber eyes, I along with the men and women that try to get into my pants believe I'm certainly not anywhere near to being "ugly and unpleasant".

But, even if I share my perspective, there is still a little truth in the definition above.
There are bad witches out there and, like everything else, there's a balance of good so everything will works out mostly. I'm one those good ones because of the coven that raised me.

Hundreds of years ago, I was orphaned and left in a little basket near a quite beach where I was found by a couple. Thanks to them being witches as well, they figured I was one, a special type of witch. They brought me back to their home and I was raise by them. They became my mothers.

Iris and Ivy brought me to their coven and I learnt everything I know from the members that of the coven, they are like a family to me. The coven was smaller than most but we liked it that way.
I was raised by 2 witches who are now my mothers, my older brother, an Oracle and clairvoyant, an alchemist and werewolf who are like my aunts and a shapeshifting uncle. All of them different but a family nonetheless. 
We had our rituals on the beach and we made sure to live secretly away from the humans from the nearby town.
All those years, we used and cared for our surroundings, making sure to thank the Moon Goddess for the power she grants us with.

Years later, when I was a little older, my brother Dominic, told us about a prophecy. A prophecy that I'm meant to fulfill.
All he saw was me and another powerful being surrounded by a substantial aura. He could only see my half of the prophecy but he knew it meant that I was to be the Lunar Witch, chosen by the Moon Goddess. Crazy serious, I know, but a prophecy is a prophecy. And it must be followed or the order of the world will collapse, unleashing chaos and misfortune to not only me, but the universe in its entirety.

Since then my coven had been showing and teaching me all l need to know, preparing me for my destiny.
But when I grew, I wanted to travel and meet other beings. I wanted to learn more about the occult I've been brought up hearing and reading about.
I also wanted to meet actual human beings, interact with them, do things they do.
My mothers obviously didn't like that idea that much but I managed to convince them. I would be able to gain knowledge from the mystical creatures around the world.

And that brings us to the present time. I've been traveling for hundreds of years now and I'm becoming exponentially powerful with each day that passes. I've seen the world change from the old times to its new modern persona, saw many wars and experienced many cultures out there to offer. And I know my journey has more to give.

I'm still awaiting this prophecy but I have a strong feeling that it's coming very soon.
