Witch Cooperation Association

*This is a stub. You can help out by adding more info here.*
The Witch Cooperation Association (女巫共助会), abbreviated WCA, is distinct from the Witch Union.

## Description

The Witch Cooperation Association does not have a fixed home, but have a camp in the north in the mountains. The Witch Cooperation Association is hiding somewhere in the mountains, for temporary safety and living like cavemen. But during the Months of the Demons, the entire north-west becomes a dangerous place.

## Objective

The witches wish to find the Holy Mountain together, since they believe finding it will protect them and give them peace.

## History

Nightingale first set off from the association to gather more witch members from Border Town, where she spotted both Anna and Nana Pine. Through some contact with Roland Wimbledon, she determined he is someone the association could trust, and along with news that their witch members might be able to survive without dying. She tried to convince the other members to join, but almost all of them except for Lightning only believed in their leader Cara, and Cara tried to kill her believing that Nightingale is planning to lie and betray the witches in order to regain former noble glory along with Roland. Before Nightingale was executed by Cara, Windy interfered and saved her friend. Although she succeeded, Cara didn't choose to use the snake power of death but instead she poisoned her, due to them being the first few founders of the association and only wanted her to suffer. Wendy and Lightning escaped the association soon after along with Nightingale and became subordinates for Roland. Unbeknownst to them, Leaf had indeed considered moving to Border Town as she was touched. However she was unable to do so due to peer pressure from her fellow witches. However, the Holy Mountain tale turned out to be false, as all combat witches except for Leaf was wiped out by two Demons. They had no choice to dissolve the association, join Border Town, form a new group and stay there for the rest of the story, which they have not regretted.

## Trivia

* The emblem of the Witch Cooperation Association was coins the coin wasn’t the common currency of the Graycastle kingdom it wasn’t even like the kingdom’s, it wasn’t even made of metal. Feeling it in  hands, he was surprised to find that the coin was warm, and the assistant minister definitely wasn’t the source of this sweltering heat of at least forty degrees celsius, which reminded him of the moment when one took a bath. he rubbed the coin’s uneven surface, he guessed that it was probably fired ceramic. that the center of the coin depicted a “mountain” shaped pattern of three triangles juxtaposed with one eye in the centre triangle. The pattern’s contour lines were very rough, he judged that it should’ve been polished by hand.
	+ it was divulged that Shino, a member of the association, possessed a unique talent for heat transfer and was likely the one who imbued this ability into an emblem that served as a symbol of membership for all witches in the association. However, it needs recharging as revealed that Leaf's emblem had lost all its warmth and slowly turned cold while she was evading the demonic beasts.
* According to Barov's explanation “In the past, everything was good because the witches would run away before the Inquisition arrived and were living in seclusion. But in recent years, the League of Allied Witches appeared and made a difference. They want to gather all of the witches and find the Sacred Mountain. For this purpose, the Witch Cooperation Association will even take the initiative of luring others into becoming a witch. In the last year, many babies disappeared in the Port of Clearwater, and the rumor was that it was their doing.”
* The reason why the WCA originally refused to join Roland/Border Town could be due to one or more of the reasons below.
	+ They refused to believe that anyone will take them in.
	+ They are afraid that Roland might be a typical noble, which are known to be corrupting witches and "playing" with them.
	+ Their main objective is the Holy Mountain for now, thus most of the witches listen to Cara's words over Nightingale/Roland. Border Town is an uncertain factor.
* Leaf's thoughts about joining Border Town early is novel-exclusive, and this is the main reason she had convinced the remaining witches to travel to the town.
* The true reason about the female babies disappearing [Hide Spoiler] was about the Church collecting them, trying to make pure witches out of them.[Show Spoiler]
