The Legend of Baba Yaga

To understand Thea, we must first delve into the roots of Baba Yaga, the mysterious bird-legged witch from Slavic folklore. Baba Yaga is a complex character, often portrayed as a shape-shifting witch who dwells deep within the forest, in a hut that stands on chicken legs. She guards valuable knowledge and assistance, but her aid comes at a price. This enigmatic figure has been an indelible part of Slavic culture, inspiring both fear and respect.

On her thirteenth birthday, she found herself drawn to the heart of the forest, where she stumbled upon Baba Yaga's hut. The hut, sensing her potential, welcomed her with open legs, and thus began Thea's awakening.
