Hmph.
She is a real person. She came alive through the telling of the story. If you are not able to feel her alive then I can understand your argument.
If, to me, she is alive then I can say that I don't like the situations she is put in rather than I don't like her as a person.
If, to you, she is not a real person then that sucks. How do you enjoy reading at all?

Because they had only a strange witchs word they would die, and leaving w/ her was perilous, too.
