Agnes Nitt - Discworld Character Biography
Character Bio
A young witch with an extraordinary singing voice and a split personality (her alter ego is called Perdita). She struggles with self-image issues but grows into a capable witch in her own right. Initially drawn to the glamor of the Ankh-Morpork Opera, she ultimately embraces her witching responsibilities.
Physical Appearance
Agnes Nitt is a young witch notable for her ample, generous build, rosy-cheeked round face, and thick, wavy dark hair that cascades messily around her shoulders. She often wears modest, comfortable witch's clothing—practical dresses or robes in earthy colors—paired with a large, somewhat battered witch's hat. Agnes's expressions typically reflect her inner conflict between shyness and assertiveness, with an intelligent, thoughtful gaze and occasionally a subtly defiant smile.
