Sea Hag
She is the sorceress of immortality, born into the true first human colony of Xanth, 2200 years before the First Wave. When she dies, she can take over any body she wishes, male or female (a fact she discovered after her first death).
She is introduced in Golem in the Gears, serving as the main antagonist as she prepares for her latest body switch. Her efforts are halted through the efforts of Grundy Golem, resulting in her banishment to the Brain Coral's pool. She escapes 33 years later during the events of The Dastard, when a glitch ejects her, as well as several other people. Despite her best efforts and an alliance with the Dastard himself, her soul is finally banished from Xanth for good by the actions of four residents of the moon Ptero (who have temporarily switched places with their younger counterparts on Xanth).
Her origin as a pre-First Waver is revealed in Question Quest, and her full history (including the discovery of her talent) is revealed in The Dastard, while possessing one of her latest victims.

Famous quotes containing the words sea and/or hag:
“The only sin is limitation. As soon as you once come up with a man’s limitations, it is all over with him. Has he talents? has he enterprise? has he knowledge? It boots not. Infinitely alluring and attractive was he to you yesterday, a great hope, a sea to swim in; now, you have found his shores, found it a pond, and you care not if you never see it again.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Old Molly Means was a hag and a witch;
Chile of the devil, the dark, and sitch.”
—Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)
