The town's wise woman, healer, spiritual advisor and witch, Hike is a handsome, aging woman who never married. She is tall and fit, carrying her sixty some odd years as a woman half her age would. She dresses in simple dresses covered by a cloak in foul weather, preferring blue and green in her clothes. While some regard her as a menace, most look kindly on Hike who always seems to have an answer for any problem.
