The witch is the mean person in any story. She could be 16 or 60, male or female, fat or skinny, rich or poor, but she's always mean. These stories are tailored to accommodate the stereotypical "old hag female witch" in the starring role. In reality, like I said, she could be 16 or 60, male or female, fat or skinny, rich or poor, but she's always mean.

Crass Wars
All too often, the witch is waging a "class war" against some one or another. She's either mad at those who are richer, or those who are better looking, or better educated, or more competent, or better connected. She is extremely competitive, and that is her ultimate undoing. She begins to compete with her spouse, her siblings, even her own children. If it looks like they might supersede her in any way, she'll find a way to trip them up, or even kill them.
