Hey guys. I'm having a hard time naming this character. She is a green witch, which means she works with plants and herbs. She is Black and around 14/15 years old (her age might change, I am not certain yet). She's very kind and caring. She has a calm voice and rarely gets angry.

Here are some inspiration photos (the women in the photos seem older than the character btw). I wanted to show you guys her vibe lol

Leda sounds like a great name for this character to me!

Oh I love the name Mara so much, I may be biased since Ruth is one of my favorite books of the Bible and "Mara" is the name Naomi chooses for herself when her world is crumbling around her - &&& I actually think being able to claim even the negative parts of your identity /emotions like that is a super powerful move .

Leda is also a lovely name!!

Esme might get mixed up for the Twilight character? But is also very pretty.

if Herschel was an option in this poll I'd vote for that too
you should know i am a time traveler &

@LordMomo Thank for letting me know!

@alliyah I agree with Mara but I'm still not sold on it haha. I actually like Noor because it seems unusual. Also I've never read Twilight so I didn't notice that haha!

I have a witch called Noorah so I love Noor too! The thing is that to me it seems more an Asian name... probably because I had two classmates who were Malaysian called it xD the others are all so pretty too - I like Ismay, it sounds witchy.

@StellaThomas Thanks for letting me know! I'll definitely think about it c: I like Ismay too, maybe it just doesn't fit her character which is why most people voted for Mara.
