Jenny truly has a knack for finding the obsessed ones...

I'm sure that's totally healthy.

Power corrupts, approaching absolute power...

Do we find out what happened to that burnt hand?

Seems healthy /s

So Jenny collects crazy people. Got it. That or she sees people with obsessions and finds a way to make herself integral to that obsession, effectively making that person reliant on and thus obedient to her.

The muscle, huh.

It's probably harmless

Now she'll be the water boiling ball of nickel you'll never stop her at this point

Yep, she's crazy alright.

Is a mad sorcerer the antithesis of a mad scientist? Or it's compliment?

Well that's... creepy

Panel 8 intensifies Insane Chippette Energy ... Psycho! Simon-Eleanor!

Freak.

As if we needed more confirmation that these girls were total nutjobs.

Noa is definitely not OK, and she is not aware of that. Like Kat, she seems to be set on a dark road, however without someone like Antimony putting her on a better path (Page 2426).

Considering the last witch we have yet to see in action, Sylvie, has skills that “best remain as theory”…what Noa is doing seems truly horrifying, and it has me even more scared of everything these witches can do. That said, I am morbidly curious to find out just what Noa does to herself. I have some big fears of what terrible things she’ll do to herself…

did that girl get her hand fixed ;_;

Yeah, you're supposed to wait a few years then get your BFF and (STBX)GF to do it for you. • Kat was also exhilarated when she realized she could read the robots' code ("It's like trying to draw the Mona Lisa on a postage stamp with a car tyre/tire!") but she didn't immediately start replacing her limbs with artificial flesh (heck I don't think human body parts was even on her mind until she started working with Tony as he's the only known physically disabled person at the Court though I'm sure the Foleys felt disabled without their old bodies' advantages like flight and night vision). • High fives to everyone who guessed "do-it-to-yourself glyph tattoos". • I have no sensitivities and I was shocked at what looks like bloody self harm (harming someone else to the point of losing a limb is A-OK, just ask Tony! That girl's OK though, right? Right??).

I was wondering how she's the muscle and not the brains, but I guess we're getting there

I wonder if this will be related to how tall she is in the "present".

This fine? Isn't it? Oh dear.

Crazy face. Nothing to worry about

She’s crazy, they all are, holy shit.

this is probably fine

Burning room, sitting dog.

The glyph seems to be making her increasingly chubby.

Uh-oh, someone went full mad scientist experimenting on herself! Not great for Noa, but also not good for our gang, who is about to confront her!

Rats make me crazy! Crazy? I was crazy once!

Oh, she's like, CRAZY crazy

Oh does she invent her own version of The Guardian Rune That Makes You swole?

She’s crazy. But then again, what else to expect from one of Jack’s associates?

Thus she became a human glyph?

Ah, hahaha! So THIS is where she loses her freakin' marbles and stops eating. Gotcha.

There's that dispassionate look from Jenny again. She's becoming something of an arc villain huh.

My dread about Noa is only surpassed by whatever the fifth witch Sylvie (Ch98 P23) might be capable of.

First she ditches class, now she's showing off a tattoo she put on herself? Noa is the real rebel.

*HARRUMPH* Gollum!

Uh oh!

Did this glyph morph her body into a bean pole?

"She will be useful"

So many different bases of knowledge in this comic. And none is without its Prometheus.

Yeaaah, um, something tells me that the side effects of this nothing glyph are madness.

Collecting crazy people

Oh, Noa is gonna turn out to be completely unhinged, isn't she?

It should prob be a teacher doing welfare checks on a student missing classes (and going crazy).

Okay, I gotta ask: why do all the witches seem to be women? Nothing about their craft within the comic seems to require it, and "magical woman rational/more scientific man" is like a pretty big recurring issue with Gunnerkrigg outside the main duo.

Self-destructive obsession is a hell of a diet plan.

Jenny seems to accumulate metaphisically deranged people around herself.

Does jenny just collect unstable witches like pokemon?

Big day for the insane woman fandom!

Ooh really hoping for some body horror here :)

Well that’s concerning

I guess she's earning it. I wonder when the lasercows are going to intervene and put a stop to all this madness.

This dumb bidge just made herself highly vulnerable by doing that.

Noa is the Kat-of-glyphs. Parley has a few of them, but I'm going to guess that Noa's body is festooned with them - a walking glyph juggernaut - by the time she meets Annie's Rescue Rangers. Noa will likely overmatch all of them individually, so they will have to beat Noa using the kind of teamwork between Annie, Kat, Parley, Cvet, Reynard, Red, and Ayilu - that Noa lacks, and which another OP character - Jeanne - lacked when she faced the Rangers.

This is really giving me Kat parallels

Ah, so this is how it happened.

It’s interesting that at least two members of the coven seem to have suffered from what might be called ‘psychic dysmorphia’ - Jenny basically chameleoned herself into a Zimmy-proxy to gain Jack’s affections and in this flash-back Noa seems to be making dangerously profound changes to her body and mind.

Uh-oh. That seems like it may present an issue to our main friends in the future... Sure hope Parley is safe after fighting this crazy witch.

Oooooh dearie.

So when Kat augments herself it's OK, but Noa is a mad scientist? To be fair, Kat didn't have that deranged "screw the ethics" face.

Gunnerkrigg Court really needed psychotherapists on staff, didn't they. This girl is NOT right.

Well this totally isn't concerning (^^;

You’re right to be concerned, Jenny. What did you do about it?

Classic Jenny side-eye panel

She’s like an evil Kat lol

This one has gone over the edge. I wonder where in the main story she will land.

yeah I mean that tracks, how many others are going to suffer before the end of this flashback?

Hooboy, Parley in for some nasty business. I thought Noa would be a weirdo, but this is some deep dark power-hungry deranged sorcery snot here.
