My phone camera didn't like the lighting, sorry about that. I'll take a better shot once the head is attached.

The torso and arm are motorised. The staff is supposed to go up and down, but it needs more counterweight.

Behind her is the cardboard mantlepiece and the cauldron for her brew (see one of my previous posts).

Hahaha, nooo!

The plan is to puppeteer her matching an audio track, recording all servo positions in a timestamped CSV file and have the microcontroller play that back on the night. I'm planning on puppeteering her in 2 passes; torso and arms first, using the two sticks and one analog trigger and the head in a second pass, using 1 stick and a trigger for the jaw.
