I'm sure most of you didn't know Witches and Sirens go way back. Two ancient groups who've mastered immortality and claim superiority over humans/mortals.

The relationship of these two powers are some what of a neighborly feud. Witches claim to own the land and Sirens bask in the sea. Obviously there are some boundary crossing as witches cross water and some sirens reside on land. The dispute may occur if paths are crossed.

Both sirens and witches are very prideful and the concept of "Labels" and "Class" is important to each. ESPECIALLY witches.
Witches basically run by titles and moving up on the chart of success and "wicked". The more dastardly you are (toward mortals) the more impressive you appear.

I'm going to give everyone a run-down on my head-canon on Zelda Witches. Since they do in fact play an important roll with 's sirens.

Witches are similar to sirens in a number of ways. They are very crude and ruthless. Some would say they're heartless, well that's because they are. Full blooded witches (immortally born) are born without hearts, but a dark matter-substance instead. It's like a permanent, genetic, spell passed down from the handful of first immortal witches. Unlike Sirens, Witches dont keep their young image through drinking the blood of humans. Their youth depends on the amount of immortal blood they were born with and/or how progressed they've become in their studies.(magic, spells, potions, ect) There is a gradual youth limit, every 10 years for an immortal is a physical 1 year for a witch. That's just for the youthful look, they could survive a long time if their immortal blood is strong, they have a ancestral deed to accomplish/ hold, or are not killed by an outside force.
Immortal Witches are VERY hard to kill when they've matured, but it is possible. Some witches can survive stabs, ripped limbs, you can even cut off their head. They'll survive if an old witch sews the limb back on. Like a rag doll. The easiest way to kill a witch is: To grind them to the point you cant sew them back together. Finding a source of weakness (Most have one or more). The obvious burning at the stake.

Most immortal witches acquire a certain "Talent" that no other witch can fully master. Don't mistake me, other witches can know some parts of a talent but they just can't be as mastered as another witch if the witch captured it first. Other witches can also not master talents that are passed through bloodline. For example: Dovey and Deserae are the decedents of Kotake and Koume, the witches of Ice and Flame. No other witch can fully possess the ability to control fire or ice because the creators/true masters of these elements have been passed through blood to Dovey and Deserae. (*Same goes for Esther and her dreams/dark sand talent because she's artificially formed to hold that mastery.XP) But something as simple as levitation can involve a handful of witches at a certain degree. Aggie can levitate herself, others, and objects. Deserae and kopso866 's Aren can only levitate themselves.
It's very complicated how skills work and they start from small to very well mastered when they grow older.

Now here's some similarities Witches have with Sirens:
They both have claws. Witches "claws" are not fingernails but hard bone/skin that extends over the nails and finger tips to a sharp point. Can leave marks in wood and cut flesh (not as sharp as Siren claws) (witch defense mechanism) (Witches are able to use claws when they start walking)
Both see themselves as superior over all mortals and the opposite race.
Both enjoy killing humans.

*A follow up on how witches treat humans, they dont go out and kill them every chance they get. Witches actually prefer to compromise with humans for business purposes. Witches are all about business and money. If one witch wanted to enslave and kill off all mortals, they would have to go through all of the other witches because no humans equals no profit.XD

** The relationship between Sirens and Witches are generally hateful meetings where the races try to assert dominance. The witches, however, have an upper hand when consulting sirens because of a..chemical reaction that occurs when they're in close contact. Naturally a witch projects ALOT of Negative Energy and this energy is what fuels and gives Sirens their rampage abilities. So during contact or when a witch is near a Siren will feel out of control as their teeth and claws grow against their will. This is generally rather alarming to sirens because they are unable to control themselves and if further interaction progresses, their eyes will go red and they will rampage on the nearest food source they can sink their teeth into. A Witch's Negative Energy makes Sirens blood thirsty. Perhaps even to a cannibalistic level. The rampant Siren wont always go after the witch that triggered them, but anything that's easy to get to. The siren loses all common sense and becomes wild. Like an animal.XD
At the moment there is no known knowledge if siren's aura affects witches at all. If there was, it's not as apparent as the siren's rampages.

I'm sure witches seem rather powerful from this rambled info, but honestly this comes as a disadvantage. Because of their powers and abilities, witches are heavily hunted in many parts of Hyrule and beyond that. So they prefer to stay masked or hidden among mortals for their own personal gains. Most mortals can tolerate witches and not turn them in/try to burn them if there is a successful business relationship or if they're doing no harm. (that can be proven)

And that is my Witch head-canon that I base my Witch OCs off of. The Siren/Witch relationship is accepted by so don't go around thinking I'm making this stuff up. XD She actually developed the idea via RP and Coral almost devoured Spirit because of Deserae.XD

NOW ABOUT THE PICTURE ITSELF- I drew child Esther and Nimue. My grumpy, antisocial, freaks of the Witch and Siren world.:"D

If anybody has any questions or need any clarification, don't be afraid to ask.

Enjoy~
