There is absolutely no shortage of incredible, powerful characters in season three's titular coven of witches. While we will get to many of them later in this list, possibly the most entertaining of the group is Frances Conroy's Myrtle Snow.

The fashion obsessed, incredibly eccentric witch was the head of the Witches' Council and acted as something of a mother figure to Cordelia Foxx in the absence of a good role model. On more than one occasion Myrtle has given her life for the good of the coven, and despite the comedic aspect she brings to the table, has shown herself to be absolutely ruthless when she needs to be.

With Cordelia blinded, Myrtle used a melon baller to take the eyes from two of her colleagues on the council who voted for her to be burnt at the stake. Ironically, for this act, Myrtle demanded Cordelia burn her at the stake. Again.

It's fair to say that the coven would have been much worse off if it hadn't been for the help and guidance of Myrtle Snow.
