Nanny Ogg

Gytha Ogg (usually called Nanny Ogg) is a witch and member of the Lancre coven.

Nanny Ogg is the Mother. She has been married three times and has fifteen children and innumerable grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but that's incidental; what makes her the Mother is her mentality. People go Nanny for advice all the time.

Nanny Ogg has a talent for getting along with people and fitting in. People say, after knowing her for fifteen minutes, they feel like they have known her all of their lives.

Gytha Ogg is seen as "one of the people". Amongst the duties of a witch are midwifery and laying out the dead. If possible, people call Nanny for the former and Granny Weatherwax for the latter. In effect Nanny and Granny make a perfect team with Granny doing what needs to be done and Nanny bandaging the wounded.

She has an ambiguious relationship with Count Casanunda, whom she met in Genua. Nanny Ogg is also the muse and center of Leonard of Quirm's master piece, the Mona Ogg: her teeth follow you around the room, they say.

Nanny has also written several books, including The Joy of Snackes, Mother Ogg's Tales For Tiny Folk and Nanny Ogg's Cookbook. The first two were withdrawn following the publisher realising what they were really about; the third survived with heavy editing.

It should also be noted that Nanny really likes to eat and drink. When she's drunk she has a tendency to sing very "special" songs.
