Priscilla

**Priscilla** (プリシラ, *Purishira*) is a character introduced in the *Wandering Witch* series.

## Appearance

Priscilla has long blonde hair and green eyes. She wears a black hat and a matching color outfit.

## Personality

Priscilla is shown to have a mischievous and carefree personality, as she often sold potions with false effects to make a profit. She does not care about the consequences of her actions as she was not aware of the trouble she had been causing with her potions.

This would somewhat change when Elaina herself started to beat Priscilla at her own game and ended up beating her for giving her a potion that caused her to shrink. This would be even more evident when she was hired by Estelle to make her a potion that could help her restore her lost memories. Unfortunately, this would cause a massive tragedy that would cause Priscilla to regret her actions.

## Plot

### Volume 6

In the present day, Priscilla is a young mage running a grift in a rural, snowbound town, hoping to attain enough money to travel to the city, properly study magic, and begin a witch apprenticeship. She sells magic potions while being duplicitous about their effects, causing damage and attracting the ire of the local branch of the United Magic Association. As there are no witches in the vicinity, the Association commissions Elaina to find and arrest Priscilla. However, Elaina herself falls victim to Priscilla's scam upon arriving in town, buying a potion that would supposedly make her grow taller—but instead de-ages her to ten years old instead.

Several days after this encounter, Priscilla's grift suffers when the de-aged Elaina tries beating her at her street scam game, selling matches that give intoxicating visions for one gold piece each. Priscilla tries to confront Elaina using some underlings she had fed a potion that made them loyal to her, but these underlings are all overpowered by Elaina's matches. Priscilla then feeds a potion to a house cat to turn it into a giant, but Elaina's matches work on the cat as well, and the cat disappears. Priscilla tries throwing all the potions she has at Elaina, but Elaina easily deflects them all with her wand. Defeated, Priscilla is forced to surrender, give Elaina an antidote to restore her to her proper age, and be turned in.

To her surprise, however, Priscilla is not sentenced to prison time or fines; she only gets a strict lecture from the local official. He says that all the commission money for Elaina was to be redirected toward reparations for the potion victims, and he gives Priscilla a parting gift from Elaina: maps of the surrounding region, tips for traveling alone, and well wishes and advice for properly, earnestly beginning her magic studies. Priscilla finds Elaina before the latter leaves town, thanking her for understanding her true goals and giving her a de-aging potion as a parting gift so that the latter can de-age to Priscilla's age and enjoy time together after the former becomes a full witch.

This de-aging potion is instead used when Elaina comes to Latorita and aids Elizabeth, a baker.

### Volume 19

However, Priscilla realized too late that she had made a mistake while making the potion. Estelle after taking the potion had a throbbing headache which caused some psychotic illusionary copies of Selena to be reborn. They went on a rampage and started murdering numerous innocent people.
