Baba has sat on the same bench in Central Park for fifty years feeding spirit pigeons and yelling at tourists. Locals have long whispered that she leads (or at least heavily influences) the Soho Coven.

During one of the more violent Maelstrom flare-ups, a rival witch (she will only refer to her as “that no-talent hack Mildred”) tried to curse Baba by forcing her to “become one with her precious birds.” The hex was meant to be humiliating and temporary. Instead, because of how deeply Baba’s own spirit magic was already tied to the pigeons, it took root permanently and transformed her into this fully anthropomorphic pigeon form.

She was furious for about two days. Then she realized her new body was soft, warm, surprisingly sensitive, and that the pigeons treated her even more like one of their own. She decided the new shape suited her just fine.

She still protects the city. She still hates tourists and Mildred. She still has her bench, her tea, and her birds. She just also has a soft, plush, feathered body she’s more than happy to put to use.

i still know all about Deadlock lore and even less about the gameplay, but i DO know the characters are bad asf.
