Flora

Flora is Schierke’s mistress, having instructed her in magic and Od (spirit energy, life force, etc.). Besides being a powerful witch of indeterminate age, she is an old friend of the Skull Knight, whom she views as "still having a human heart." This suggests that Flora knew the Skull Knight before he assumed his current ghoulish form.
Before residing in the woods outside Enoch village, she wandered the land, aiding people with her magic until the Holy See's influence forced her into seclusion.
At the Skull Knight's request, Flora assisted Guts' company by placing magical seals on Guts and Casca's brands to prevent evil spirits from being drawn to them. She also supplied them with essential magical gear for their battle against the trolls. Flora informed Schierke that Guts is the man to whom her destiny is bound, although Schierke initially refused to believe it.
