Rapidvale's local witch, not that every town has or wants one, but Rapidvale managed to attract one anyways. Unlike most known witches, Hailey has no demonic origin. She took an interest in the art of her own accord. At some point in her travels she managed to acquire an authentic grimoire though. Even Kathryn must begrudgingly accept she became as powerful as she is through her own work instead of having demonic abilities from birth.

The deteriorating education of Rapidvale is sometimes blamed on Lynch, though not because of a curse. She runs the only library in town, and people don't like to go in too often since she makes them nervous. She was also a teacher for a few years before the mayor realized she had to be replaced since no one would leave their children with her. It is well known that she is Rapidvale's most intellectual resident, though that might cause some folk to like her even less. Until recently no one had confirmed that she was a witch beyond Olivia's closest companions. However, after the town's revelations the rumors were hard to stop.

Hailey makes an income for herself working for the mayor since any business she tried to run suffered from her reputation. As the librarian she is out of most people's way and can focus on maintaining records while she continues her studies. She is somewhat quiet, though she is well aware she is one of the town's most dangerous residents and will use that to get her way at times.
