What is another name for Banshee that BadB is compared to because of her shrieking?
Badb In Irish mythology, the Badb (Old Irish, ] ) or Badhbh (Modern Irish, ] )—meaning "crow"—is a war goddess who takes the form of a crow, and is thus sometimes known as Badb Catha ("battle crow"). She is known to cause fear and confusion among soldiers to move the tide of battle to her favoured side. Badb may also appear prior to a battle to foreshadow the extent of the carnage to come, or to predict the death of a notable person. She would sometimes do this through wailing cries, leading to comparisons with the bean-sídhe (banshee).
Perchta Perchta or Berchta (English: Bertha), also commonly known as Percht and other variations, was once known as a goddess in Alpine paganism in the Upper German regions of the Alps. Her name may mean "the bright one" (Old High German "beraht, bereht", from Proto-Germanic *"brehtaz") and is probably related to the name "Berchtentag", meaning the feast of the Epiphany. Eugen Mogk provides an alternative etymology, attributing the origin of the name "Perchta" to the Old High German verb "pergan", meaning "hidden" or "covered".
