MISTRESS COUGAR

((21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch. In an era when it is frowned upon for women to hold wealth, she has stepped up as the breadwinner after her husband's death. The epitome of an entrepreneur, she runs the underground business “Thin Pruitan.” If you need something, Goody Cougar is your go-to! Always striving to earn a shilling or two, she is strong-willed, independent, and iconic.

GOODY
VAYNE

(21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch. In a time when music and dancing are considered sinful, she may have been discovered dancing naked in the woods with the devil... or perhaps not. Goody Vayne embodies a captivating mix of boldness, sexuality, and outspokenness, living in a fantastical world. A gay icon of her time, she has a passion for fashion, even though it’s deemed a sin.

MERCY
BEDLY

Accused Witch. In a period when women could only read religious texts, she was found with a book titled, “Class with the French Countess.” An independent thinker, Mercy is calm and intuitive. Not one to fly off the handle. Tired and exhausted of the Salem Witch Trials.

FARMER GAY

(21+, any ethnicity) Accused Witch.  In a time when men perform all the hard labor, Farmer Gay would rather host friends for mead and gossip. Flamboyant and lively, although everyone suspects his homosexuality, it has never been openly discussed.
