## Information

### Lives in

The Swamp

The Leech is one of the *Characters* in *Wytchwood*, and is one of *The Souls*. The Leech is one of the first four souls to be gathered for *The Goat.* He lives in *The Sickhouse* area of *The Swamp.*

## Summary

The doctor who works at the *Sickhouse*. She is shown to be a talented liar, deceiving all of her patients as well as the *Nurse* for a long period of time. She also seems to have a good memory as she is able to recall the *Old Woman's Husband* when given three descriptors. The *Witch* discovers that she's the cause of the "plague" that has infected the *Sickhouse*, using it as a front so she can secretly steal (and eventually drink) her patient's blood. Her soul is collected once the *Witch* spikes her "wine" with *Spirit Salts*, transforming her into a dried-up, shriveled worm.
