Mythic Bestiary: La Befana

...and happy Befana day to you all! :)

“She comes at night with her broken shoes.
All hail! She comes with her ragged blouse!
She leaves on the mantelpiece gifts in the socks,
Then goes up the chimney after making a bow!”
-Ancient folk rhyme

One of the most fabled and powerful denizens of the First World was born a human (nobody knows on which world). Some legends say she’s the meeker sister of Baba Yaga, always trying to remedy her evil doings. Other talk about a long travel of penitence that an ancient witch had to undertake to atone for her sins or search for her lost child. She was supposedly burned at the stake more than once, always escaping thanks to her fire resistance. At last she found a gate for the First World, and her long stay there granted her faerie powers.
La Befana mostly resides in her own demiplane, where time flows very erratically and can even go backwards. She cares deeply for mortals, and for children in particular. Both loved and feared, in long winter nights near the solstice she is able to travel immense distances (maybe going back and forth between her demiplane and more than one world on the Material Plane), entering people’s houses to reward the worthy and admonish the unworthy. Though she can fly for herself if needed (without any wings), she prefers her bonded artifact broom.

Exceptional Stats (Ex): La Befana’s stats were generated using a 25-point buy. Additionally, she has the equipment of a PC of the same level, plus her unique magic broom. These modifications increase her CR by 2.

Grandmother’s Tricks: La Befana is under the permanent effect of mythic deathless, aura sight, greater heroism, ironskin, and truespeak. She knows all witch spells, included those belonging to specific races, and could have researched witch versions of spells from other classes, in addition to developing her own unique version of the endless bounty ability. These increase her CR by 1.

La Befana’s Endless Bounty: La Befana can create permanent foods with this ability. Alternatively, she can spend 10 minutes of casting time whenever she uses this ability to create 1 wooden toy for each caster level she possesses.

Bag of Everlasting Coal: This version of the bag of everlasting dung provides each day enough coal to fuel a small fire for 8 hours.

La Befana’s Broom (minor artifact)
Aura moderate illusion, strong transmutation; CL 20th
Slot none; Price —; Weight 3 lbs.
This racing broom of flying also functions as a staff of feast and famine and a +3 flying light mace. When flying, it can carry any load. Fire can’t destroy the broom; it actually gains +10 fly speed for every 10 minutes it is put on a fire. It functions as a holy symbol for the purpose of La Befana’s bonded holy symbol ability. Lastly, the broom can cast greater invisibility at will and mythic time stop 1/day. In the hands of anyone else than La Befana, it behaves as a broom of animated attack.
Destruction
La Befana’s broom falls to ashes if used to deliver gifts to 300 bad children and coal to 300 good children in one night.
