Line 117:
** Any witch that fits the [[The Hecate Sisters|Mother or... other one]] slot. Granny Weatherwax isn't a grandmother from the technical viewpoint of not having children of her own, but she's still the little old lady known as Granny by a good deal of the main characters, and she Will Take You Down. Her name in Trollish—that's the thumping great creatures made of rock—is "She Who Must Be Avoided". Her name in Dwarfish—as in short people who shove rock all day and carry battle axes on principle—is "Go Round the Other Side of the Mountain". Nanny Ogg is a grandmother, and has a face like an old apple and a pleasantly sunny personality, but also enough pure magical power to make anyone sit up and pay attention.
*** Nanny Ogg ''is not afraid'' of Granny Weatherwax. That should be a hint.
*** [[Wintersmith|Miss Treason]] isn't either. Granny is [[Insistent Terminology|Mistress Weatherwax]] to other people and witches who have not earned the right to call her Granny yet. Miss Treason refers to her as "the girl Weatherwax". Possibly because she's 113 years old.
** In ''[[The Last Hero]]'', also Vena the Raven-Haired, a well-past-retirement-age barbarian heroine who joins the Silver Horde.
** [[Memetic Badass|Mrs. Cake]]. Even the Post Office (who are only scared of the worst things) are scared of her.
