Badb has served her Stone Circle for several human generations. She does not speak much of her past but apparently it included a multitude of experiences including as an Elven Speaker for the Dead, a warrior, a witch, a wife, to name but a few things that have slipped in her anecdotes.

Currently she would best be described as a skilled dryad who briefly went mad when her tree was cut down and corrupted by the Unseelie. Once the Unseelie Hag Black Alice was driven off and the Heart of the Wood recovered, Badb began her own recovery in body and mind. She is apparently nowhere near the peak of her former abilities and so has turned to the adventurers to act on her behalf.
