Description
She exists in her own canon and is not associated with any of my Superheroes, Sonic FCs, or Petnal; not a serious prohibition but I just wanted to let you know

Name: She doesn't use her name and simply has people refer to herself as the Dullahan Witch (especially as she's the only one in her area)
Gender: Female
Age: 307 (4th of April)

Biography:
Once just a regular old witch, she would often deviate from her mentor's instructions and unbeknown to both her and her master, her sloppy potions and displays of unrestrained magic powers had lured in many less savoury entities.
Late one evening after she should've been asleep, the witch in training sit at her table learning bizarre spells just to see if she could when a clanking began to echo through the halls. Against basically any regular persons' basic instincts she decided to investigate and found a tall black knight standing in the stairwell, it took her a moment to realise he had no head but she didn't have time to ponder as it attacked her. While she knew how to defend herself with magic, the shear terror emanating from the entity allowed her no calm and while her weak defence saved her from death, her head tumbled to the ground.
Through the commotion her Mentor had awoken and quickly come to her aid, she was too late of course. The Teacher's poor pupil lay motionless and headless while the entity turned to her. Before any further damage the Witch waved her hand and the Dullahan crumbled into a ashen dust, stepping through it the Witch began to mourn her student... before she spoke and her master nearly fell down the stairs.

Once the now-Dullahan had been properly inspected by her master, she continued her training until completion but she'd noticed that the other wizards and witches no longer looked at her or her master the same way, upset, embarrassed even. The Dullahan left her former master's residence and then disassociated herself to save what little reputation her teacher had left and found herself a home in an abandoned shack, she enjoyed the aesthetic. Casting a spell to implement an illusionary invisibility over her abode, she spent the next few centuries studying whatever suited her fancy and becoming the local cryptid to the blossoming community on the edge of her woods.

Personality:
- Friendly, she will prefer to make friend rather than an enemy but don't make that think she'll automatically trust you.
- Little bit of a hoarder, she will hoard magical tomes or artifacts and doesn't like to show off her collection but she may be up to trade certain treasures.
- Very juvenile, while she can be serious it often takes quite a push to become so or alternatively making her angry.
- She will often ignore safety precautions and potentially even take unnecessary risks for the thrill or just not forward thinking.
- She is very charismatic and she used this to often talk out of problems she caused in her social Youth but now she'll often use it to lure in villagers for pranks or potentially deter a would-be hunter.

Powers and Abilities:
- Being a Dullahan, she is obviously exempt from decapitation however a surprise blow could knock her head away which she'd have to collect with her body.
- Illusionary Magic; Her favoured method of messing with the locals, she uses spells and smoke to create surreal trips for her victims. While her illusions cannot physically harm a target, placebos can be a powerful thing ; P
- Telekinesis; as an actual offensive measure, with or without her staff, she can objects through magic which can range from the smallest of tools to mediumest of boulders.
- Potions; Her love only second to illusions and pranks, she will often create potions of various effects which can be the typical restoration concoctions to making some of her illusions a reality so basically don't let her make the drinks or you might end up becoming a toad.
- Elemental magics; While she does prank the lowly villagers living near her woods, she will sometimes venture out and... well, deadass steal spellbooks from other fellow magic users. She will not admit to the theft nor give them back.
- Night vision, a default ability from her Dullahan physiology
- Lockpicking; Assisting in her interests of mischief, Dullahan's are far better at undoing any kind of seal than most races
