I love Mrs Earwig, simultaneously too large of an ego and too small of an imagination to ever doubt herself.
Fairy glamour? What's that?
Queen of the fairies? Why should I care?
You're better than me? Tell it to someone who gives a shit.
Every other witch has to mentally fortify themselves to face the fairies in battle while she's out there having the time of her life, finally getting the respect she always thought she deserved.
"And Mrs. Earwig," said Mistress Weatherwax, her voice sinking to a growl, "Mrs. Earwig tells her girls it's about cosmic balances and stars and circles and colors and wands and...and toys, nothing but toys!" She sniffed. "Oh, I daresay that's all very well as decoration, somethin' nice to look at while you're workin', somethin' for show, but the start and finish, the start and finish, is helpin' people when life is on the edge. Even people you don't like. Stars is easy, people is hard."
She stopped talking. It was several seconds before birds began to sing again.
"Anyway, that's what I think," she added in the tones of someone who suspects that she might have gone just a bit further than she meant to.

Sarah "Granny" Aching vs. Letice Earwig
Which witch is your favorite witch?
Sarah "Granny" Aching
Letice Earwig
Sarah "Granny" Aching
Sarah "Granny" Aching (née Grizzel) would never have called herself a witch. She was a shepherd; she took care of sheep, and the Chalk where they grazed, and others who lived there, including the Nac Mac Feegle. While she was alive, shepherds would seek out Granny Aching to get help for sick sheep. After her death, they sometimes used to leave packets of Jolly Sailor tobacco where her hut used to be, with a wish. The Feegles dealt with the tobacco end of the business (after allowing a decent period for her to take it if she wished).
Letice Earwig
Mrs. Earwig (pronounced "Ah-widge") is an arrogant, snobbish witch. She is married to a retired wizard Dr Earwig, and is of the kind of witches who read books, and has even written several books on "magik". Her last, and only, trainee was Annagramma Hawkin. Although she does use practical folk wisdom as a witch, she also tends to use crystals, jewelry and other items considered useless by witches of Esmeralda Weatherwax's tradition. (Not that Granny doesn't recognise the uses of Boffo, but you don't have to go believing it yourself.) Her complete self-absorption does come in handy; she is shown to be completely immune to Elven Glamour, which leverages human self-doubt. With Letice, there's nowhere for such a lever to gain a purchase.
Every time you talk I hear that sound that plays when Pacman dies.
