Ah, probably about time I actually post something of my own design. I apologise in advance for a lack of thematic appropriateness (my version isn't entirely faithful to the sources, sad to say) and slightly baseless class choice.

Class: Berserker

Name: Baba Yaga

Alignment: Chaotic Mad (or maybe Chaotic Evil would be more descriptive?)

Master: IMPA (Ideal Master with no Particular Affinity)

Stats:

Str: D (E, boosted by Mad Enchantment and Monstrous Strength)

End: D (E, boosted by Mad Enchantment)

Agi: D (E, boosted by Mad Enchantment)

Mag: C

Luc: C

Class Skills:

Mad Enchantment, Rank D: At this rank, a rank up for Strength and Endurance is attained. Mad with hunger, thought processes beyond following natural instincts and basic orders are hindered.

Personal Skills:

Item Construction, Rank N/A (originally A): A product of her original Noble Phantasm, sealed under the Berserker class.

Magic Resistance, Rank D: Can cancel Single action spells.

Mental Pollution, Rank B: Her connection to her Noble Phantasm distorts her mind into a reasoning alien to most people, mental intereferance magecraft is largely ineffective.

Noble Phantasm:

Izbushka, Distended Stomach of the Witch:

A great monster that once acted as the workshop of a witch. A magical beast that can provide its owner with much power, but it seeks only to feed its hunger. Under the Berserker Class, it no longer provides it gifts. It is a predator, and is driven by constant hunger. Appearing as a small wooden shack, it is normally able to cloak itself from mundane observation. It can emanate large limbs resembling those of a fowl, and uses these to tear itself along the ground and swing throughout the landscape, launching itself at high speeds. It uses its claws and gaping mouth to devour its prey. Those swallowed by the beast are torn apart, and the blood is converted into prana to feed her massacre. Having merged with her being, they share a mind and will respond to each other’s distress.

It's all a bit messy, but I figured I should at least post one of my near complete ideas, even if I consider it a bit faulty. The idea I was going for was that Baba Yagas Hut was a Phantasmal Beast of sorts that gave her the ability to aid many people, but slowly eroded her mind until they were basically one monster. It was originally part of a sort of two part idea, with the Caster version having access to high level item creation and spells, while the Berserker version being a mindless monster. Truth be told, she would probably be better off in her Caster incarnation, even if she loses the veritable wrecking ball she has here.

I'm somewhat ashamed with the artistic license I took here, since there was already so much existing material I could have used instead, but this was one of my first servant designs so I'm unreasonably fond of it.

Ah, I'm almost embarrassed, which is ridiculous considering that it isn't that much worse than the others here, at least by my (admittedly biased) reckoning.

I'll see if anything else in my old files is slightly more salvageable.
