YMMV / The Defenders of Shannara

• Complete Monster: Mischa is the secondary antagonist of The High Druid's Blade. A sadistic old witch, Mischa is an ally of Arcannen, for whom she works as a Torture Technician. She uses her illusions to torment Chrysallin Leah for weeks on end, convincing her that she has been permanently disfigured and crippled by torturers working for Aphenglow Elessedil. She then pretends to befriend Chrysallin and helps her to "escape" before having her illusory Aphenglow track them down, faking her own death to further ruin Chrys's psyche, and convince her that Aphenglow is her enemy. When Grehling helps Chrys escape for real, Mischa goes after them, intending to dissect Grehling, and shatter Chrys's mind.
