"you should join our family, preserved forever in jade"

Widow Greenpaw is the central antagonist of the Jade Witch storyarc in World of Warcraft, once a kind pandaren she would become mentally unstable after the death of her husband and took to dark magic, trapping any who came near her home in jade - for this reason she became known as the "Jade Witch".

History
Widow Greenpaw lived alone in her home in the forest following the death of her husband, who was a hero revered for his work with jade - during her isolation she grew mad and took to turning any who strayed near her home into jade statues, she was especially prone to doing this to children, having always sought a family of her own but never mothering any herself.

Eventually the player hero aids in stopping Greenpaw and rescuing her captives, who are restored to life once Greenpaw is killed.

Abilities
Widow Greenpaw is a witch who specializes in jade-magic, able to turn people to jade she can also animate jade into basic constructs - often big cats, which she could use to attack or defend her territory.

Personality
Widow Greenpaw was insane but put on a guise of friendliness to those she encountered, yet at a moment's glance she would quickly change and become dangerously psychotic - at this point her victims would become trapped by her magic and be left in her garden as statues : despite these actions Greenpaw claimed to care for her captives as family and often attacked targets she saw as interesting or unique, she was also clever enough to keep herself hidden in relative seclusion so as not to alert too much attention to herself and thus allow her crimes to go largely unpunished.

Trivia

 * Widow Greenpaw is one of relatively few villains in World of Warcraft who is not inherently an evil creature, despite her actions, due to being too insane to truly control herself : as was witnessed when she suddenly dropped all of her previous kindness upon meeting some adventurers simply because she became fascinated by a dwarf (who she saw as a "beard-sprite") : on the Horde side she likewise betrayed her normal kindness simply because she became fascinated by the green skin of an orc (who she also inevitably captured in jade)
