* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler: Once she becomes half of the Dead Queen, Dooley is feared all throughout Appalachia by witch and haint alike. When the Whisperers begin to attack a high school in the 1980s during ''School Spirit,'' Dooley chooses to make herself known and causes the creatures to quite probably begin to try to appease her by invoking her history with Horned Head. As far as can be gleamed, there is currently no being in Appalachia aside from the Deep Things or Bartholomew that would be able to contend with her in a one on one fight.]]

Let the monstrous dome throats finally choke, let these temples fall because their God is dead, had been dying for decades. Let us mourn him properly now. They do not need our darkness to burn any more. So let us end this. Let there be Green. Great looming swathes of endless breathing mouths. Let them sing of our absence. Let the cities go dark for the lack of our smolder and let the stars find these mountains as they were made: whole, Green, and blessedly… empty." ''

!!The Underwoods of Bower County

-> '''Narrator:''' ''The Underwood family's roots ran so deep in fact they were an object of both reverence and fear. Being Black in Appalachia is not something I can speak to, Family, but from what I’ve been told, and read and tried to understand, I know that it is the furthest thing from easy.''

An African American clan of Green associated healers in the twilight of its prime, headed by MamaBear Marigold after the death of their patriarch, Doc. Smaller, perhaps, than Clan Boggs and not as active as the Walker Sisters, but they hold in them a power all their own, capable of resisting all threats be they [[EldritchAbomination eldritch]] or [[TheKlan man made]] in nature.

!!Tropes:

* AscendedExtra: Show up as a secondary focus in the CrisisCrossover finale of season 2, before getting a more personal focus in Season 3 when they're pitted against [[BigBad the Barrow family.]]
* {{Foil}}: To the Boggs Clan and the Walker Sisters, most obviously by being a black family where the others are white, but in other ways too:
** The Boggses are a BigScrewedUpFamily where the Underwoods are generally very close and loving. Glory Ann and Waylon were [[ParentsAsPeople flawed at best]] and [[AbusiveParents abusive at worst,]] where all signs point to Marigold and Doc being loving parents. The Boggses are all estranged, to the point where Deeley isn't even aware of the true origins of her gift until she encounters the Inner Dark, while the Underwoods have stuck together with Marigold explicitly training her daughter in the ways of the Green and having taken in her nephew after his father's death.
** The Walker Sisters are a clan of AlwaysFemale witches, closely associated with brothels and those who have been forgotten and mistreated by the world around them. The Underwoods are a group of [[ReligiousBruiser Religious Bruisers]] who generally keep to themselves (for good reason in a prejudiced Appalachia), with an equal amount of men and women in them, having been previously headed by a patriarch, Doc. The Underwoods are also deeply associated with the ritual to seal the Dead Queen, whereas the Walkers are much newer to the ceremony and have a rougher time of it. Furthermore, current head of the Walker Sisters Marcie Walker is an AmazonianBeauty and BadassLesbian, whereas Marigold Underwood is a PintsizedPowerhouse and never gives any indication of being anything but straight.
* GoodCounterpart: To the Barrows in Season 3. Both are families more well off than the average Appalachia resident who are deeply entrenched in the ForeverWar between light and dark. However, their similarities end there. When [[CreepyChild the Weapon]] is left at their door, Marigold makes sure the child is cleansed of the curse placed on him by the Barrows before sending him off to a better life, where the Barrows would rather use the boy to strike fear into the hearts of men. Where the Barrows are rich white folk who have either [[HumanoidAbomination never been human]] or have left it behind long ago, the Marigolds are a loving black family who lives by comparably humble means, and in spite of being treated as inhuman by jealous white locals never lose their empathy.
* MagicalNegro: A clan of them, although this is hardly unusual in a show where the protagonists generally tend to be witches.
* ReligiousBruiser: They all seem to be good church going folk, contrasting them to Glory Ann who holds disdain for the Church, and the Walkers who are associated with TheOldestProfession and would likely not be welcomed to the church.

!!Granny Marigold Underwood

The current matriarch of the Underwood family, residing deep in the mountains and rarely leaving while trying to train her daughter Dori in the ways of the Green.

!!Tropes:

* AllLovingHero: Compared to her daughter Nina, she always greets people sweetly until they prove they're worthy of contempt. Even then, she gives them every chance to back out of it and will even work to remove dark influence from their lives.
* BigGood: Of the Underwood Clan. She also gets deference from Marcie Walker during the season 2 finale arc out of respect
* CutenessProximity: Even knowing that the Weapon is most certainly a trap, she can't help but bring him inside and clean him up, using her knowledge of Green magic to cleanse him and send him on his way to a better life.
* DeadpanSnarker: After having just seen a Hollowed Man leave [[TykeBomb the Weapon]] on her door, her first remark is to just comment on the irony of leaving "a lil white boy" with a black family deep in the mountains.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Sweetly tells Polly Barrow [[BlatantLies that no Underwoods live on her land]] and to fuck off down the mountain and see if they can find anyone down there. [[VillainousBreakdown Polly can do nothing but seethe as her Hollowed Men drive her away.]] Marigold then resolves to take Polly down for threatening her family.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While very polite and cordial to Polly Barrow, even after being aware the girl just tried to set her up for death, Marigold quickly decides she needs to be dealt with to protect her family.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Has lived a very long time, managing to start a family and live in a rather luxurious house while also scaring the Ku Klux Klan so badly that they refused to go near her. Has also managed to build a reputation in the world of the Things, to the point where E.P. Barrow doubts his most powerful enforcer could take her on and survive. None of this backstory has been explored in any depth thus far.
* IronLady: Albeit a seemingly softer variant than Glory Ann, being a powerful and immovable matriarch whose slain many an abomination in her day.
* MamaBear: Once Polly Barrow threatens her family with a TykeBomb, Marigold is not willing to let bygones be bygones and decides the girl must be dealt with.
** In the finale of Act 1 of the arc, she manages to burn down the Barrow sanctuary while also crippling the Hollowed Men Polly sent to fight on her behalf. She even readies herself to fight Polly herself, a fight [[BigBad E.P. Barrow]] doubted she could win.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: A small granny who nonetheless can still seal away the Dead Queen and fling massive Hollowed Men like they were misbehaving cats. Further still, she has enough of a reputation that the head of Barrow House refuses to let his progeny fight her directly.

The daughter of Marigold and Doc Underwood, training to be a Witch of the Green just like her mother.

!!Tropes:

* TheApprentice: To her mother, growing close to her level of power and being groomed to one day take over her role in the Dead Queen ritual.
* CuteBruiser: Is an attractive woman but more capable of dispelling the Hollowed Mens' illusions than her male counterparts and is able to summon spirits to distract them.
* Deuteragonist: To her mother's protagonist during Act 1 of Season 3.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Suffers no nonsense with her compatriots during the final arc of Season 2, but is ultimately well meaning and wants to carry the tradition of the Green on from her mother much the same. Their arc during season 3 also shows a softer, more domestic side of her that always looks after her mother and has likely been her primary caretaker since Doc's death.
* SassyBlackWoman: Much moreso than her polite mother, being skeptical of [[BigGood Brother Bartholomew]] and giving Melvin Blevins a hard time for his manner of transportation.
* SummonMagic: Seems to specialize in this. She's able to dispel [[TheHeartless Mr Crane's]] own SummonMagic and summon all the spirits murdered by his partner Mr. Churchman to distract him until she can activate sigils with her mother.

* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler: Once she becomes half of the Dead Queen, Dooley is feared all throughout Appalachia by witch and haint alike. When the Whisperers begin to attack a high school in the 1980s during ''School Spirit,'' Dooley chooses to make herself known and causes the creatures to quite probably begin to try to appease her by invoking her history with Horned Head. As far as can be gleamed, there is currently no being in Appalachia aside from the Deep Things or Bartholomew that would be able to contend with her in a one on one fight.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Starts off as this with her deal with Horned Head, although it's made clear that dealing with the h'aint comes from a good place.
* AntiHero: Forced into a DealWithTheDevil with the ruling local abomination by circumstance, but tries her best to do good and stay connected to her mothers' Green ways even as she's forced into more and more evil acts.
* DeadpanSnarker: Consistently to the servants Horned Head provides for her and to the h'aint himself.
* DecoyProtagonist: Subverted. She is the first protagonist we meet before she makes her deal with Horned Head, before the story cuts to the Old Number 7 disaster and those involved. However, within a couple of episodes Daughter Dooley's story is continued and the final episode of season 1 details her ultimate falling out with her patron.
** Further subverted in Season 2, which seems to drop her story for the time being and focus on the Dead Queen, a younger and more sinister counterpart. However, [[spoiler:in the finale, it is revealed the Dead Queen was the result of Daughter Dooley fusing with the child Horned Head was trying to sacrifice in the Season 1 finale, with the Green and Dark constantly being at battle for control of their fused form]].
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the season 1 finale, she engages Horned Head in furious battle for the soul of a child. She wins, [[spoiler:forcing Horned Head to manifest as Elder Henry to survive,]] but pays for it quite dearly, leading to:
** BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:She is fused with the child's inner dark in a horrible symbiosis, creating the Dead Queen and causing the Green and Inner Dark to unite once every 7 years to seal her back away.]]
* FallenHero: An interesting subversion. [[spoiler:The Dead Queen turns out to be Daughter Dooley, but its more evil half is when the child of the Dark has control. She constantly attempts to rein the child in, but during the sealing of the Dead Queen the child takes control and nearly kills the entire group.]] After all this, she asks [[BigGood Bartholomew]] if it really was that bad this time around, sounding sympathetic.
* FightingIrish: Whether it's up against ignorant religious movements or the local EldritchAbomination, she holds her ground. [[spoiler:She outlasts the former, and ends up defeating the latter in single combat.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Was brought from the UK with her two witch mothers. Years after their deaths, she still misses them and holds onto their teachings.
* HeelFaceTurn: While more of a ForcedIntoEvil kind of character from the get go, she eventually cements this by refusing Horned Head's orders (which would lead to the deaths of everyone in Last Harbour) and [[spoiler:turning on him for attempting to sacrifice a child.]]

Added DiffLines:

[[folder: Marigold Underwood]]
!!Granny Marigold Underwood

The current matriarch of the Underwood family, residing deep in the mountains and rarely leaving while trying to train her daughter Dori in the ways of the Green.

!!Tropes:

* AllLovingHero: Compared to her daughter Nina, she always greets people sweetly until they prove they're worthy of contempt. Even then, she gives them every chance to back out of it and will even work to remove dark influence from their lives.
* BigGood: Of the Underwood Clan. She also gets deference from Marcie Walker during the season 2 finale arc out of respect
* CutenessProximity: Even knowing that the Weapon is most certainly a trap, she can't help but bring him inside and clean him up, using her knowledge of Green magic to cleanse him and send him on his way to a better life.
* DeadpanSnarker: After having just seen a Hollowed Man leave [[TykeBomb the Weapon]] on her door, her first remark is to just comment on the irony of leaving "a lil white boy" with a black family deep in the mountains.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Sweetly tells Polly Barrow [[BlatantLies that no Underwoods live on her land]] and to fuck off down the mountain and see if they can find anyone down there. [[VillainousBreakdown Polly can do nothing but seethe as her Hollowed Men drive her away.]] Marigold then resolves to take Polly down for threatening her family.
* GoodIsNotSoft: While very polite and cordial to Polly Barrow, even after being aware the girl just tried to set her up for death, Marigold quickly decides she needs to be dealt with to protect her family.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Has lived a very long time, managing to start a family and live in a rather luxurious house while also scaring the Ku Klux Klan so badly that they refused to go near her. Has also managed to build a reputation in the world of the Things, to the point where E.P. Barrow doubts his most powerful enforcer could take her on and survive. None of this backstory has been explored in any depth thus far.
* IronLady: Albeit a seemingly softer variant than Glory Ann, being a powerful and immovable matriarch whose slain many an abomination in her day.
* MamaBear: Once Polly Barrow threatens her family with a TykeBomb, Marigold is not willing to let bygones be bygones and decides the girl must be dealt with.
** In the finale of Act 1 of the arc, she manages to burn down the Barrow sanctuary while also crippling the Hollowed Men Polly sent to fight on her behalf. She even readies herself to fight Polly herself, a fight [[BigBad E.P. Barrow]] doubted she could win.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: A small granny who nonetheless can still seal away the Dead Queen and fling massive Hollowed Men like they were misbehaving cats. Further still, she has enough of a reputation that the head of Barrow House refuses to let his progeny fight her directly.
[[/folder]]

[[folder: Nina Jennings]]
!!Nina Jennings nee Underwood

The daughter of Marigold and Doc Underwood, training to be a Witch of the Green just like her mother.

!!Tropes:

* TheApprentice: To her mother, growing close to her level of power and being groomed to one day take over her role in the Dead Queen ritual.
* CuteBruiser: Is an attractive woman but more capable of dispelling the Hollowed Mens' illusions than her male counterparts and is able to summon spirits to distract them.
* Deuteragonist: To her mother's protagonist during Act 1 of Season 3.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Suffers no nonsense with her compatriots during the final arc of Season 2, but is ultimately well meaning and wants to carry the tradition of the Green on from her mother much the same. Their arc during season 3 also shows a softer, more domestic side of her that always looks after her mother and has likely been her primary caretaker since Doc's death.
* SassyBlackWoman: Much moreso than her polite mother, being skeptical of [[BigGood Brother Bartholomew]] and giving Melvin Blevins a hard time for his manner of transportation.
* SummonMagic: Seems to specialize in this. She's able to dispel [[TheHeartless Mr Crane's]] own SummonMagic and summon all the spirits murdered by his partner Mr. Churchman to distract him until she can activate sigils with her mother.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/screenshot_20220428_221922_facebook.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: The Witch Queen of Appalachia]]
-> '''Narrator:''' ''She watches you here. She is snake bite and mauled bodies. She has never known death and probably never will! Yours will only feed her and make her even younger and full of sap. She is not to be stopped, and we call her The Witch Queen.''

An Irish witch of the Green, the so called Witch Queen, forced by circumstance into a contract with [[AnimalisticAbomination Horned Head]]. That being said, she still stayed close with the Green over the years, forcing a confrontation between her and her contractor in 1794 that would alter the very fabric of Appalachia...

!!Tropes:

* AlwaysABiggerFish: [[spoiler: Once she becomes half of the Dead Queen, Dooley is feared all throughout Appalachia by witch and haint alike. When the Whisperers begin to attack a high school in the 1980s during ''School Spirit,'' Dooley chooses to make herself known and causes the creatures to quite probably begin to try to appease her by invoking her history with Horned Head. As far as can be gleamed, there is currently no being in Appalachia aside from the Deep Things or Bartholomew that would be able to contend with her in a one on one fight.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Starts off as this with her deal with Horned Head, although it's made clear that dealing with the h'aint comes from a good place.
* AntiHero: Forced into a DealWithTheDevil with the ruling local abomination by circumstance, but tries her best to do good and stay connected to her mothers' Green ways even as she's forced into more and more evil acts.
* DeadpanSnarker: Consistently to the servants Horned Head provides for her and to the h'aint himself.
* DecoyProtagonist: Subverted. She is the first protagonist we meet before she makes her deal with Horned Head, before the story cuts to the Old Number 7 disaster and those involved. However, within a couple of episodes Daughter Dooley's story is continued and the final episode of season 1 details her ultimate falling out with her patron.
** Further subverted in Season 2, which seems to drop her story for the time being and focus on the Dead Queen, a younger and more sinister counterpart. However, [[spoiler:in the finale, it is revealed the Dead Queen was the result of Daughter Dooley fusing with the child Horned Head was trying to sacrifice in the Season 1 finale, with the Green and Dark constantly being at battle for control of their fused form]].
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: In the season 1 finale, she engages Horned Head in furious battle for the soul of a child. She wins, [[spoiler:forcing Horned Head to manifest as Elder Henry to survive,]] but pays for it quite dearly, leading to:
** BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:She is fused with the child's inner dark in a horrible symbiosis, creating the Dead Queen and causing the Green and Inner Dark to unite once every 7 years to seal her back away.]]
* FallenHero: An interesting subversion. [[spoiler:The Dead Queen turns out to be Daughter Dooley, but its more evil half is when the child of the Dark has control. She constantly attempts to rein the child in, but during the sealing of the Dead Queen the child takes control and nearly kills the entire group.]] After all this, she asks [[BigGood Bartholomew]] if it really was that bad this time around, sounding sympathetic.
* FightingIrish: Whether it's up against ignorant religious movements or the local EldritchAbomination, she holds her ground. [[spoiler:She outlasts the former, and ends up defeating the latter in single combat.]]
* HasTwoMommies: Was brought from the UK with her two witch mothers. Years after their deaths, she still misses them and holds onto their teachings.
* HeelFaceTurn: While more of a ForcedIntoEvil kind of character from the get go, she eventually cements this by refusing Horned Head's orders (which would lead to the deaths of everyone in Last Harbour) and [[spoiler:turning on him for attempting to sacrifice a child.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: The Narrator calls her "the Daughter Dooley" exclusively because she, as the last of her line, left behind nothing with her true name in it. Even Horned Head only ever calls her "little witch."
* ServileSnarker: She may be under Horned Head's protection while working to preserve the land, but it doesn't stop her from getting her two cents into the monster every chance she gets.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler:Not in season 1, but her identity as the Dead Queen and thus the ArcVillain of season 2 cements her as this.]]

A powerful Granny Witch that was known for taking in children who had been afflicted with curses or who came from families that had made deals with the Inner Dark so that they may one day grow up to be normal kids. After a life longer than any mortal could dream, she passes in her sleep, leaving her Dark afflicted children to search for their origins in an unforgiving world.

!!Tropes
* TheAce: There wasn't a haint alive that could see through her illusions and wards, which leads to a massive grab for the kids she protected the moment she dies. It says a lot that not even those as powerful as Barrow and Locke aren't able to find the lost heir of Locke after he makes it to her farm.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Her "bible" turned out to be this, cataloguing every haint and monster she ever encountered over her long life in great detail, as well as their last known location and threat level.
* ParentsAsPeople: While she did her best to give her kids a normal life, it ultimately left them grasping for meaning in a world that refuses to leave them alone. Jonah, for example, comes to resent her lies and misdirections shortly after her death. In fact, her obfuscation of the truth leads to him believing he's simply the heir to an immensely rich family [[spoiler: once the Lockes come looking for him, instead of being aware and likely not caring about their darker side.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: Is dead by the time of her introduction to the story.
