The sugar witch is a figure from folklore and mythology who is said to have magical powers over sugar and sweets. In many stories and legends, she is portrayed as a mysterious and powerful sorceress who can conjure up delectable desserts and sugary treats with just a wave of her wand. She is often depicted as an old woman with wild, flowing white hair and a mischievous smile. Some tales describe her as being dressed in robes made entirely of candy wrappers, while others portray her as having a magical cauldron that is always filled with molten sugar. The sugar witch is said to reside in a hidden cottage deep in the forest, where she spends her days concocting sugary delights and granting wishes to those who seek her out. Legends about the sugar witch often involve brave or curious children who stumble upon her cottage while lost in the woods.
But as always with any solid jerk with a heart of gold type of character, Bruno’s softer side has already revealed itself to some extent to us. He’s not only quick to act for the sake of representing Wing Bind, and consequently in the protecting of the mass majority of innocent bystanders, but he also values respect and is actually quite pragmatic. He even allows Noel and Ninny to fight the Marchen, Cinderella alongside him, despite wanting to throw them to the curb just prior.
He s quite the threatening opposition to the series main characters Noel and Ninny, but he s also an obnoxious knucklehead with his sarcastic remarks and overall big-headedness. With Bruno and the Inks being only one of eight divisions and directors that we get to even really see from within the Top of Horns, the top-tier division of said organisation, what we do see from Bruno s involvement may be sparse, but it certainly demands attention and piques the interest for the early days of this fresh IP from Kubo.
Legends about the sugar witch often involve brave or curious children who stumble upon her cottage while lost in the woods. In these stories, she tests the children's character and kindness before offering them a taste of her magical sweets. Those who pass her tests and show respect and gratitude are granted a wish, while those who are greedy or disrespectful are punished with a curse.
Hump Day Husbandos: Bruno Bangnyfe (BURN THE WITCH)
For today’s Hump Day Husbando piece we are going back to highlight yet another premium husbando delivered by the one and only Tite Kubo, creator of Bleach. But instead of picking from the ranks of Bleach once again I actually have yet to discuss BURN THE WITCH — which unfolds in the Bleach universe, but which is its own distinct thing — in any capacity here at Rice Digital.
So here is Bruno Bangnyfe to complement an earlier Hump Day Hubby piece on Grimmjow from Bleach! While BURN THE WITCH’s manga serialisation remains quite the short-lived exploration of dragons being the cause of the majority of problems in a fantastical and magical London, what the series presents us with is a truly exciting premise chock-full of endless potential. Case in point with this guy right here.
The sugar witch is believed to have a deep connection with nature and the changing seasons.

Her stories teach children the importance of gratitude, sharing, and moderation when it comes to indulging in sweet treats.

I was expecting a captivating witch tale, but instead, I found myself bored and uninterested in what was happening. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a gripping read.
3. Sarah Johnson - 2 stars - The Sugar Witch was not my cup of tea. The pacing felt off, with the story dragging in some parts and rushing through others.

I would advise readers to skip this one as there are far better witch-themed novels out there worth their time.
