Teraza is the quintessential witch: a wise elder, twisted more with black magic than with age, her mind unfathomably full of secrets and insight, some of which makes sense to the youngun's, most of which doesn't. Comfortable in her role as elder, she assumes command of her sisters--let alone their inferiors--and her orders are obeyed without question. She is as likely to command the younger of her clan to sweep a dirty floor as she is to order the brewing of some grand spell or the recitation of a comprehensive battle plan.
She is also flighty: one moment she is in everyone's business, the next she's simply disappeared, off to her own ends and devices. Usually she'll have left some insight to fill in her stead, although it's not always apparent what it was and what it meant until afterward.
She can be very mean--not usually seeming to want to cause harm, but in a sort of brutal honesty, "tough love" kind of way. Katra dares not enjoy a cupcake in her presence without a comment about her lovehandles, nor Maenya dare to mispronounce the fourteenth syllable of one of the names of a long-dead demon prince, lest she reveal her mental inadequacies.
She is a seer, meaning she's completely barmy most of the time, speaking of things nobody else can see in words no one can understand. Her prophecies--the ones anyone can make heads or tails of--just about always come true, and that sight has helped guide the Sisters and the realm through many dark times and uphill against countless forces that would keep them down.
As for her powers, it is best to assume there is literally nothing outside her grasp. If magic can do a thing, you bet your ass Teraza can make it do that thing. It is unlikely a more capable necromancer, diviner, illusionist, or transmuter exists in the mortal world.
