Agatha All Along Classpects
The many variations of the Ballad of the Witches Road have been stuck in my head like a council of muses, so here we go.
It probably goes without saying, but SPOILER ALERT. Go watch WandaVision and Agatha All Along if you haven't already. They're fairly removed from the MCU (especially AAA), so you can still enjoy them even if you aren't a Marvel fan.
Also I aim to not repeat any classes or aspects, so only one of these witches will be a Witch ;-)
Agatha Harkness: Thief of Blood
Agatha's main objective in life is to steal others' power for herself. She mainly does this by forming covens, gaining their trust, "bringing" them to the Witch's Road, and then stealing their magic when they attack her. Agatha's cunning is her deadliest weapon, she's able to repeatedly win people over regardless of their knowledge of her trickery. Not only does she ultimately break these bonds (to her benefit), but she also kills those around her in the process. Typical of a Thief to be the most relevant person in the story, even with Wanda in Westview; she was the true mastermind keeping the Hex going, not Wanda.
William Kaplan: Page of Mind
Pages have the most potential, and as the son of the Scarlet Witch, Billy is fitting of this class. He starts his life off as a completely different person, Billy Maximoff, but is able to transfer his mind to the body of William Kaplan during a near death experience. Eventually, he discovers that he has powers, but is unable to use or control them. He seeks out Agatha to guide him to the Witch's Road, which— as we find out— was never a real place. Billy was able to conjure it into existence based on his and others' perceptions of it. He used his coven's thoughts to ultimately give them their deepest desire. Even still, he had no idea that he did it until all is said and done. While he has been proven to be a powerful witch, he still has much to learn.
Rio Vidal: Witch of Doom
No one is more fit for this God Tier than the original green witch. Rio Vidal, also known as Lady Death, is the embodiment of the life cycle. Being able to manipulate death manipulating life as well. The best example of this is when gives Agatha the kiss of death, and as she rapidly decays into the earth, plants grow in her wake. You could say that the only factors differentiation her from a Witch of Life is that she has an emphasis on death over life, and that her personality is morose and macabre, over the typical life player's bubbly attitude.
Jennifer Kale: Mage of Breath
The Mage of Breath is someone who understands freedom, mostly because she lacks it herself. Early on, we learn that Jen is bound, and unable to use her magic. Despite this, she helps others find happiness through her Kale Kare products. Even while in perilous situations on the Witch's Road, she seeks to understand her fellow coven members, and help them complete the trials. This directly contrasts with Agatha, who uses the others as tools for her desires. And as we find out in the penultimate episode that Agatha was the one who bound her. I suspect that even with her freedom regained, Jen will struggle with her identity, as she emerges from the Witch's Road anew.
Alice Wu-Gulliver: Knight of Hope
Alice has been cursed from birth, which led her to leave a miserable life. She developed an "I don't care" attitude to cover up her depression and insecurities of constantly feeling like a failure. Despite this, she is a protection witch. She grows to care deeply about her fellow witches, and uses their hope as her driving force to protect them. When she finally breaks her family's curse, she is invigorated with hope that she can lead a normal life. Tragically, she dies protecting her fellow witches— a fitting end to a Knight.
Lilia Calderu: Seer of Time
Lilia is easily the Seer of Time, as someone who literally has flashes of the future. In this case, her God Tier is more so something that she has to overcome, but in doing so, can use it to her benefit. Once she understands her visions, she also uses her gift to help others. She tells Agatha to duck in her fight against Rio, she gives Billy his spell book, and she inspires Jen by telling her that she is "the path ahead". Even in her pedestrian life, Lilia was a tarot reader, showing people a glimpse into their future. She used this to help Billy ease his way into his new life, by placing a sigil on him. Lastly, Lilia has the trademark confusing timeline of someone who is bound to the aspect of Time. She experienced her life out of time, and it is thought that once she died, she was able to go back in time and relive her life with her newfound knowledge.
Sharon Davis: Sylph of Life
As previously mentioned, Life players typically have a bubbly and friendly personality; Sharon definitely fits the bill, even if her positivity comes from her naïveté. Throughout her story, she is constantly helping those around her: she's a loving housewife and takes care of her husband, she helps Wanda cope by playing a part in her sitcom, and she helps her coven in the first trial. Granted, she was forced into the role of Mrs. Hart, and had no idea what was happening in the events of Agatha All Along, but she supported these people nonetheless. Ironically, she was the first to die, and in the very first trial, no less. And she was the only person to not be healed by the Witch's Road. Even those who died after her had their deepest desires granted.
