History YMMV / WhitbyWitches

* MagnificentBastard: Rosalyn Crozier, better known by her alias of Rowena Cooper, is the High Priestess of the Coven of the Black Sceptre and the [[TheDragon second-in-command]] of her husband, [[CompleteMonster Nathaniel Crozier]]. When her master sends her to the seaside town of Whitby to find what he is looking for, she instead pursues her own ends. Quickly befriending the majority of Whitby with her [[FauxAffablyEvil charisma]] and [[TheCharmer charm]], she discreetly murders everyone who [[HeKnowsTooMuch suspects her true motivations]]. Realising that the Aufwader race native to the local caves can lead her to what she wants, [[TheChessmaster she allows them to find Moonkelp]], the stolen treasure of the gods which can be used to demand a wish from them and when Benjamin Laurenson finds it, she uses her power to take control of him and force him to make a wish on her behalf, revealing the lost Staff of Hilda which she uses to free herself from her abusive husband's power, nearly [[TakeOverTheWorld seizing control of the world]] in the process. In death, Rowena learns that the rest of her Coven of witches have made a pact with the Lord of the Frozen Wastes to bring Nathaniel back from the dead so she too makes a pact with the Deep One to raise her from the dead to kill her former husband when he is restored to life. Having been raised from the dead with the power to become a terrifying EldritchAbomination, Rowena painfully absorbs and kills her husband, taking revenge for her years of abuse and control at his hands before embracing her eternal life as an enforcer of the gods of the sea. [[DeadpanSnarker Witty]], [[AwesomeEgo confident]] and [[TheDeterminator determined]], Rowena was remembered as a WorthyOpponent by her enemies.

* UglyCute: The Fish-Demon in the illustrations obviously. ''D'awww'', does the ancient abomination want a kit cat? A live one?

** The entire scene with Sister Frances and the "Jolly Cheer-Up Bag" as she tries to make the paralysed Miss Boston happy by reading from vacuous magazines, causing Miss Boston such annoyance that she regains the power of speech. "[[GetOut GET OUT]]! GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, YOU STUPID IMBECILE!" Made even better by Sister Florence's response. "[[NiceGuy You're talking! How fabulous]]!"

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Oona talking about how she's the child of a human and an Aufwader.
-->'''Oona''': A freak of nature am I, a hideous cross-breed that never should have been allowed to draw breath.

** Pear was born into a cult as the daughter of its leader and a crazed fanatic. Their way of life is all she ever knew. She becomes torn between obeying her mother and her friendship with Jennet, who she really does care about. Ultimately she chooses the latter, but [[HeroicSacrifice at the cost of her life]].

* CompleteMonster: Nathaniel Crozier, described as "the most evil man in the world", is High Priest of the Coven of the Black Sceptre, a polygamous cult consisting of lonely women whom he controls through dark magic and persuasion, while abusing them and treating them as nothing more than pawns in his plans. A glutton for power, Crozier learns of the Guardians of Irl, three magical talismans in the seaside town of Whitby through which he could gain the power to rule the world, and sends his High Priestess, Rosalyn Crozier to Whitby to find them. When Rosalyn is defeated by Miss Boston, Crozier dispatches his other concubine Judith Deacon to London to poison Boston's old friend, so that Boston goes to London to care for her, leaving Whitby unprotected. Arriving in Whitby in person, Crozier uses his dark power to bully a married couple into letting him be their lodger whilst he searches Whitby for the Guardians. To this end, he makes the twelve-year-old Jennet Laurenson fall in love with him so that he can use her as yet another pawn in his schemes, mentally tortures and kills the elderly Ernest Roper, and gains control of the terrifying Fish-Demon to slaughter countless Aufwaders, the tribe that guard the final Guardian. Having released the horrifying Morgawrus, Nathaniel intends to enslave it but is thwarted by Miss Boston, whom he attempts to throttle to death. After being brought back from the dead, Crozier attempts to make Jennet kill herself in front of him, purely to demonstrate his power, while planning to release Morgawrus again to pursue his goal of world conquest.
