I don't know if you remember reading a story called The Ragdoll. Well I am in the middle of editing it, but it is too short at the moment for a full book, but a bit long to go with another one. In it the witch meets various people needing her help, a king's guard, an outlaw, a pirate, and a smuggler. I need another character who she can help. Any ideas?

Bit difficult for an orphan to pay for the help though! She has turned herself into various birds to get the information the visitors need, so either a crow this time or some other large bird other than an owl, an eagle or a seabird. Possibly she could change into a cat? |

How about a peacock for some lord/king/princess etc. seeking advice/help to find a missing person, or to help explain a strange memory they have from childhood.

Next question. What would the witch want a poacher who knows every inch of the forest, to find for her. Not antlers or venison though.

The nest of an unusual bird? or other animal. Could be a place where there used to be a cottage or shepherd's hut that has fallen into ruins hdeep in a woodland undergrowth. That could hide something.

It has to be something he can carry back to the witch.

Some kind of fungi which has magical properties, but only grows in specific places, like the trunk of a rare tree.

Now I need an appropriate name for the witch. Googol except that is the witch in King Solomon's Mines or Page as in Page the Oracle or Wiki as in Wikipedia. She doesn't do love potions only information discovering.
