History PlayingWith / SolitarySorceress

** Hecate owns a little magic shop in town, and interacts with ''lots'' of people on a daily basis, giving them potions and spells for all sorts of problems.

** Hecate practices TheDarkArts, where no one will bother her. (Or, where she can more easily deal with victims.)
** Hecate can practice StarkNakedSorcery this way because her neighbours are all prudes, while she's a ShamelessFanserviceGirl at heart.

** The solitude makes Hecate eventually GoMadFromTheIsolation, turning her from a [[CuteWitch cute]] or HotWitch into a crazy WickedWitch.
