—The Witch cursing Fast Jerma and Purple Alien
The **Swamp** **Witch** is an antagonist from the web series, *Fast Jerma and Purple Alien*. A malevolent sorceress, this decrepit hag uses her magic to rule the swamp with an iron fist.

## Fictional Biography

### Early years

Many years ago, the witch used her magical powers for evil, taking complete control of the swamp, until one day a brave wizard challenged her to a magic duel, hoping to overthrow her and restore peace to the swamp. However, the witch managed to defeat the challenger and transformed him into a frog, greatly diminishing his powers and removing any chance of him being a threat.

### Fast Jerma and Purple Alien

Years of her tyrannical reign went by, until one day Fast Jerma and Purple Alien accidentally flew into the swamp while trying for days to find their way back home in their helicopter. With the dark sky and thick fog, the two of them couldn't see very well, and accidentally clipped their helicopter against the witch's fragile stone hut, causing it to explode. Enraged, the witch appeared before them, admonishing their actions before cursing them, both literally and metaphorically. After vanishing from sight, she shrunk Jerma and the alien down a minuscule size.

## Possessions

* **Hut (formerly):** The witch lived in a simple stone hut during her reign over the swamp, until it was accidentally destroyed by Fast Jerma and Purple Alien, who, while flying in low visibility, crashed into it with their helicopter.

	+ **Shrinking Curse:** The witch shrunk Fast Jerma and Purple Alien to minuscule size.
	+ **Transformation:** The witch was able to transform a wizard into a harmless frog, which all but removed his magical powers, and pacifying him as a threat.

## Trivia

**Bread TM**: "*I have a very important question. The old scientist sneezing had the same effect as when the witch's cat teleported. My question is if the old scientist's nose is magical or is the witch's magic snot based?*"
**bumblebuck**: "*it is said that in the olden days a sneeze signified evil forces leaving your body (hence why it is common to say "bless you" after someone sneezes). in this context, the witch and her magic powers represent evil energy.*"
— Comments on "The Witch's Curse Part 2: The Scientist"

* According to bumblebuck, the witch's magic is visually similar to the scientist's sneeze because historically, a sneeze was believed to be an act of expelling evil forces from the body, so connecting the two actions using the color green symbolically shows that the witch's magic utilizes evil energy.
* The witch is the only known female character in Fast Jerma and Purple Alien.
