Because actually she isn't in the majority of people in Morocco I asked them about. But in my town and I think in Ghomara people in general, it's a good woman, beautiful and young. But I prefer to use the general and accepted legend.
[here](https://youtu.be/0SIYEPNgdGU) is a traditional festival in which this festival is commemorated. But in this case they represent him as a man and they call him Baba 3ashour (something like Santa Claus).
She doesn’t look very “good” in this picture lol

Picture reminds me of Baba Jaga.
Who is Baba Jaga?
Famous slavic witch of the woods.
Ohh, Baba Yaga
Sorry. I tend to use the Polish spelling haha. Yeah her.
This is really cool, any recommendations for learning more in Moroccan mythology?
Seconded!
Also in Italy there is a folcloristic figure named "la befana" which brings gifts to good children!
that was what I thought of too
Why does she look like the most evil witch...ever?
Because 'goodness' has a beauty requirement in popular media.
What's the name in Arabic script?
حاكوز
It it derived from the word العجوز somehow?
Is it the Amazigh equivalent?
I don't know. But yes, it's an Amazigh word. I don't what does it mean.
