Mrs. Earwig (pronounced "Ah-widge") is an arrogant, snobbish witch. She is married to a retired wizard, and is of the kind of witches who read books, and has even written a book on "magik". Her last 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.) Needless to say these two are intense rivals, and treat each other with hostile politeness.
She does however help promote the craft among younger girls by selling her various books including "First Flights in Witchcraft"
Her husband Dr. Earwig is mentioned in Unseen Academicals as one of the few wizards who have retired (although he technically just left to get married, which, according to Mustrum Ridcully, is the same as dying)
