I was recently playing Path of Neo over again and found this particular character curious. The Merovingian mentions that she is his "best" and that she is even better than Neo. Of course, the second allegation proves to be false as Neo beats and kills the woman and goes on to defeat the Smith Virus, something The Witch obviously could not have done.
But, despite the fact that she is dead and will likely never come up in the Matrix storyline again, who was she? Was she an Exile? Or was she actually a Redpill? If The Merovingian were to compare her to Neo, it would suggest to me that she was a Human and not another Program. And if she was a Human, what does this suggest about The Merovingian? Could there have been others he Awakened and perhaps used as Operatives of his own even during the days of Neo?
Just a topic for thoughtful discussion. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this "Witch".
Personally, I consider some of it canon, and some of it not. I don't think the extended chase for the Keymaker was canon, but the training levels were.
You know what the extended chase with the Keymaker reminded me of? That part in DragonballZ where Frieza sent his "Death Ball" into the planet and it would blow up in 5 minutes, then had a 4 1/2 minute fight with Goku that lasted something like 2 hours...

Well, if you want to consider it canon, think of the Witch sort of like, say, The Trainman. The Trainman is only powerful in the trainstation. Could the Witch just be an exile that's powerful only in the Chateau? I mean, the Merovingian is known to stretch things a bit. The Witch IS better than Neo, at least, in the Chateau. (Doesn't mean she's better than Neo and that other girl fighting together, mind you.)
Yeah, about that loud-mouthed Exile...what's the deal? I thought I was supposed to defend her or something, but then she dies during the battle, nothing happens, and I proceed to lay waste to Ms. PsychoMerv.
Was there some sort of secret to unlock by keeping her alive, or did I glitch my way past that level? Hee hee.

Saving the rogue Witch and keeping her alive helps you somewhat in the battle against the Witch. You also get some extra dialogue, and she helps you find the door out of the level. But whether she lives or dies doesn't have a massive effect on anything.
What I want to know is what happens to the other witch, the one you
rescue? While obviously not as powerful as the main witch she still has
some quite cool abilities, but after rescuing her from the purple witch
she just stays in the room telling Neo that she thinks they'll meet
again soon (I haven't finished the game, but I doubt that happens) and
stays in the room. Merv obviously wasn't too pleased with her at the
time so does she escape, or d'you think she pulls an Ookami and becomes
his head witch person? Also, besides help Neo, what had she done to
displease Mero? Lastly in the room of the Witch there were three people
you could rescue- where the other two illusions of some sort or is
there a group of expendable witches under M's control? If anyone knows
cool- but some speculation is porbably the most we'll get i think, but
speculation is fun!
Also as to the Witch's power, she was herself occupying a construct of
her own, like the other two place weren't part of the chateux, just
linked to it by doors so yes that probably increased her power.
Sorry, phrased that a bit wrong- the rogue witch is already tied up in
the dungeon before she runs into Neo and later decides to help him-
what had caused this?
That was what I thought at first- and it does seem to be what's going
on then- but the Mero says "I was planning on deleting her anyway" and
also she really seems to have it in for the other Witch!!
Oh yeah- I completed the game now- no Witch. I thought that maybe they
were going to live happily ever after after beating SmithZilla, oh
well!!
