>>43260830The woman is but a golem in servitude of the real villain, the crow.
The crow was once a mighty warlock who slighted a witch of the wood. As punishment for his wrongdoings the witch turned the wizard into a crow for the rest of his life.
The crow and golem wander the world for a spell to revert him to his old form and punish the witch who cursed him.
The golems body is usually covered under a black robe. The only part of the golems body that can be seen regularly is the face and hands, which are interchangeable to best suit the crows needs. The crow can speak through the golems mouth to give the illusion that the golem is a real person.
