Played by Agnes Mary Winstead (Kathy Bates) in American Horror Story: Roanoke, The Butcher is a centuries-old bloodthirsty woman responsible for the deaths of the original Roanoke colonists before taking her own life. She still haunts the land, demanding the bloody death of anyone who dares to settle there or wander in her forest. Agnes plays The Butcher in a modern-day horror TV reenactment about one couple who faced The Butcher and lived, but Agnes quickly becomes just as insane as the original Butcher. The Butcher wears traditional colonial garb stained in dirt, mud and blood.

A modern witch with blood ties to both the Salem witches and the voodoo tribe, Queenie (Gabourey Sidibe) is the only person of color at Miss Robichaux’s Academy in American Horror Story: Coven. Queenie is sassy, confident, and possesses the abilities of a “human voodoo doll” – she can injure herself in order to harm others, while feeling no pain herself. She enters Miss Robichaux’s Academy alongside Madison Montgomery, Zoe Benson, Misty Day, and is taught by the Supreme Fiona Goode. Through the trials of AHS: Coven, Queenie eventually ends up on the Witches’ Council and makes an appearance in the sister series, American Horror Story: Hotel.

The resident Stevie Nicks fanatic of AHS: Coven’s group of witches, Misty Day (Lily Rabe) was a contender for the title of Supreme alongside Madison, Queenie, and Zoe. With the ability of resurgence, Misty was able to bring back souls from the dead – including her own, after being burned at the stake. Compared to the other young witches in Coven, Misty’s style is unique in its bohemian and slightly more colorful quality.

In American Horror Story: Coven, Fiona Goode (Jessica Lange) was the Supreme of the Salem witch descendants. Her daughter, Cordelia, would later become the next Supreme and awaken the depth of her powers before her mother’s death. In the search for the next Supreme, Fiona acted somewhat as a mentor for a group of young witches, including Zoe Benson, Queenie, Madison Montgomery, and Misty Day. Like many of the characters in this series, Fiona was often appearing in all-black ensembles.

Also known as “Hypodermic Sally,” Sally McKenna (Sarah Paulson) is the ghost of a murdered junkie/dealer that resides in the Hotel Cortez. Her appearance is generally disheveled, with frizzy hair, smudged makeup, and ripped tights. She and Iris have a troubled relationship, as Sally caused Iris’ son’s overdose and Iris subsequently pushed Sally out of a window.

Myrtle Snow (Frances Conroy) of the TV show American Horror Story: Coven is a haute-couture-loving, eccentric, odd witch with a mass of frizzy red hair and an omnipresent pair of vintage cat eye glasses. She attended Miss Robichaux’s Academy with the former coven Supreme, Fiona Goode, and attempted to prevent Fiona from becoming the Supreme but failed. Myrtle then took Fiona’s daughter Cordelia under her wing, raising Cordelia as her own while she herself became the head of the Witches’ Council. She is at constant odds with Fiona, never disappoints in her wild clothing choices and puts the welfare of the Academy above all else.
