One of my favorite fairy tale figures is Baba Yaga, an old witch who lives in an enchanted forest, rides a mortar instead of a broom, lives in a house with chicken legs and usually has three magical sons. I have an obsession with witches in general, but something about this old Russian spell caster really captures my imagination.
I think one day i’d like to write about the adventures of her youth. How she became powerful and delightfully evil (although she is good in a couple of tales). So, here you go, young Baba Yaga (who would have a different name, since Baba means old woman. Maybe just Yaga?).
yesssssss
Devushka Yaga? these stories belong to several Slavic cultures, so you could use several different languages, but in Russian “devushka” appears to be both “young woman” as a noun and as a form of address (bear in mind I’m just working off Google)
hey Kelly, what could we call this character in Ukrainian?
Well, Babucya was the same as Babushka (grandmother) but Baba was still the shortened form. Divchyna (or Divchynka) is girl in Ukrainian. She was serious business where I lived in Ukraine (near a forest in NW Volyn).
It really frustrates me that the Dr. Who fandom calls themselves like “Wholockians” or “Whovians” because CLEARLY the coolest name you could choose for that fandom is “Whooligans” and they are wasting such a golden opportunity.
